Our stay was so incredibly nice! The location was perfect! We were right on the river and you could hear the river from the master bedroom (it was so nice to sleep to that sound!). We also loved how you felt so in nature, but only 6 minutes from town so it was super convenient! The owners put so much thought into little details that made us feel welcome immediately (like a little smores kit and Halloween candy (since we showed up right after Halloween so it was super cute)). All of the decorations were so homey and the layout of the house was great! Everything was incredible and definitely made our vacation the best!

This property is truly a gem tucked in the woods yet close to everything! My family traveled to Ellijay for a wedding at Summit Farm Weddings (highly recommend this six-generation family-owned venue), and this home made our weekend even more special.My elderly parents loved their main-floor bedroom with a private bath, and there’s another bedroom on the same level for easy access. The upstairs suite was massive — perfect for my husband, myself, and our toddler granddaughter, who was in hog heaven with all the toys!The house was beautifully appointed, spotless, and extremely comfortable — the owners truly thought of everything. The coffee station was wonderful, with plenty of oversized mugs and everything you could possibly need to make the perfect individual cup of joe.What the property description doesn’t fully capture is just how spectacular the setting is: right on the river, surrounded by trees, peaceful, and cozy.Kim was a fantastic host, communicating promptly and kindly before check-in. We would absolutely recommend this property and would love to stay here again!
