Paws and Linger Retreat was better than expected. Owners often say they are dog-friendly, but the owner of Paws and Linger Retreat really loves dogs, and it shows. The home is clean, welcoming and has EVERYTHING needed to enjoy time away. We loved the downstairs area for a workout, and the steam shower to freshen up afterwards. The snacks (doggie and people) were an unexpected delight. The river for a bit of trout fishing was fun. We’ve stayed in several properties in and around Ellijay and Blue Ridge, but Paws and Linger Retreat outshines them all. We look forward to another stay down the road.

This was the perfect trip for me and my dog, Bentley. The cabin is absolutely gorgeous—peaceful, private, and exactly what I needed to reset. One of my favorite parts was the sound of the water nearby… it made the whole experience feel calm and grounding from the moment we arrived.The cabin itself was spotless, quiet, and incredibly well maintained. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need (just bring your food), which made settling in easy.They also went above and beyond with thoughtful touches for dogs, which made traveling with Bentley so much easier and more comfortable. It’s clear they really considered both guests and their pets.The sauna and steam shower were a huge bonus and honestly so rejuvenating—such a nice touch that really elevated the stay.The host was super responsive and easy to communicate with, and everything went smoothly from start to finish.Overall, this was one of the best experiences I’ve had. I would absolutely stay here again.

We had such a relaxing and peaceful stay at the cabin. Our 10 month old Aussie, Miss Momo, had a blast playing with all of the toys, running in the yard, and resting in the window sill overlooking the river. The infrared sauna and steam shower were both awesome! Andrea thought of everything we could need for ourselves or doggies. Nice selection of teas and coffees in the mornings, plenty of different size dog bowls, lots of pet blankets to protect the furniture. When we first arrived, we noticed the main floor windows didn’t have curtains (other than in the main bedroom), which as city dwellers, was a bit of a surprise. However, we quickly got over it, and never felt uncomfortable throughout our stay. You will very rarely see neighbors, and I never saw anyone else at nighttime! The cabin was easy to locate, and much easier to get to from the main road than other cabins we’ve stayed in in the area. It was also super clean, which we always appreciate. We will definitely be back! Thank you Andrea!!

A rare gem that lets the whole family - pups included :) - truly relax together. The property is clean, thoughtfully stocked, and full of little touches that show real care for dog owners. The Ellijay and Blue Ridge areas offer plenty of beautiful trails and wineries, many of which are both dog- and kid-friendly. Highly recommended for a comfortable, family-friendly getaway.
