This home is less than 5 mins to downtown Ellijay and sleeps 8 comfortably. It has a huge first floor master with a King bed and a large Roku TV. The master bathroom, walk in shower, and walk in closet are also just as large, and is separate from the other bedrooms. The other 2 bedrooms are located upstairs and share a double sink “Jack n Jill” bathroom with a tub. Both bedrooms are comparable in size, have Queen beds, large closets, and Roku TVs in each. Outside of these bedrooms, there is a small loft with a twin memory foam pullout couch. The second twin pullout couch is in the game/tv room that is located in the sunroom near the master. The game room has a Roku tv, comfortable seating, a ping pong table, and foosball table. It is off the master and wrap around porch. The house has gorgeous high ceilings that make it feel open and airy. The living room will be the place to gather with your loved ones as it has ample seating for everyone.

There is also a half bath off the living room for convenience. The large laundry room is behind the kitchen and off the garage entrance. IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ ! This home is what we call “the main house” on this property. “The river front cottage” - please see listing link below - is located a few hundred feet away from the house. This is a rental as well, so understand you may have guests there, so if you want to be secluded, this is not the property for you. We planted fern trees to separate the yards, but until they grow larger, there will not be complete privacy. They have their own yard/hot tub/and firepit, so those will not be shared. THIS PROPERTY IS PERFECT FOR HOSTING LARGE GROUPS like retreats and family reunions - it has 3 homes total on 6 acres of land. The 3rd property is linked below and is called “the treehouse”. The treehouse does not have any privacy issues since it is literally up in the trees away from both “the main house” and “the cottage”. All 3 homes can accommodate up to 18, while still having your own space. Other things to note: LATE CHECK-OUTS & EARLY CHECK-INS: Check-in time is 4PM and checkout time is 11AM. Door codes do not activate until set check-in time. Early access will not be provided without prior approval.

Comes with everything you would need to entertain family and friends. Sitting on the screened in porch in the morning, drinking coffee while listening to the river run over the rocks was just about as peaceful as you can get. We fished the river for a few hours on a couple occasions and had a few hits but didn't land anything. Located in the middle of everything. We drove to Atlanta for a day and then up to Smokey Mountain National Park for a day. We absolutely are going to look into staying again and bringing family along next time.

Great location on the Ellijay River. The hot tub worked well and was so relaxing. We enjoyed the patio and fire pit, but the Adirondack chairs need to be replaced because some are broken. For the price and extra cleaning fee, I was disappointed to see so many spider webs inside and outside that appeared to have been there for quite some time. It would have been nice to have a broom and some dish cloths/sponges. The property is beautiful, but needed mowing. ##### Betsy W. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cristian M.

We wanted to take a break from the city in the nature, next to a river, house with hot-tub and this house fulfilled our objectives. Is really close to town (5 min) with supermarkets, restaurants and stores. I tried to fish every day and only catch two trouts (I blame the fisherman). A really good surprise was the playground and swings for the kids at the back yard. Thanks for everything. See you soon!. ##### Cristian M.

The location right on the river is just beautiful. My husband is handicapped but was able to get around the house and grounds just fine. The kitchen was very well stocked with all the essentials and there was plenty of storage throughout the house. We did have a little trouble getting the remotes sorted out and the ones that worked the fans did not always seem to function properly. Also, the master bedroom tended to be a bit chilly, but we did get that worked out. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and would certainly consider renting this property again ##### Anne M.

Had to call. Told us we could raise the temperature and the trick is to turn on the fireplace to warm up the place. After we did that we were fine. Beds were really nice and comfortable. Everything you need is in the kitchen. The ice maker was not working. Used the fire pit and it was great. Location was close to everything. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Betty M.

It had everything we needed - all the little extra things that make your stay memorable - board games, extra things in kitchen for anything you want to cook like spices, things in the yard kkke the fire pit and playground, room to run around, binoculars to watch the cardinals at the bird feeder, the hot tub, and of course the amazing view. We had trouble getting hot tub and the fire place indoors to work but once I text the owner, Mary Jo, she was very helpful and walked us through how to make the hot tub work. It was an easy fix. Fire pit not so much but she and her husband were available and helpful. They were willing to get someone there to help bc we could not figure out the fireplace. But we decided not to do it since it was our last night. This was truly a special place with access to so many fun places to explore. Our only minor issue was that We wanted to do early check in but I struggled to reach 5 Star Vacation Rentals before our arrival. They were often a little slow to respond. Prior to the trip. ##### Stacy M. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Braden C. Jul 8, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Disappointing Experience - Numerous Issues As soon as you walk in, there is a musty/moldy odor in the home. The house smells and feels very damp. We've stayed at other cabins on creeks or lakes and never encountered this issue. After a long day of travel, we wanted to freshen up, but the hot water heater wasn't functioning properly. Although the hosts were quick to address the issue other guests have reported similar problems. In terms of cleanliness, the house is lacking. There are cobwebs throughout, the grill is filthy, the firepit was full of cigarette butts, and the primary shower has mildew and mold. There was no toilet paper in the primary bathroom and no extra rolls anywhere. Additionally, the outside trash bin was already 3/4 full when we arrived, making it difficult to dispose of our trash. The foosball table, which was advertised, was missing. While this wasn't a major issue, it was disappointing for our young children who were excited about it based on the pictures. All of these issues might have been more manageable if not for the unbearable smell coming from the chicken farm DIRECTLY BEHIND the house. When the wind blows towards the house, which is often, the smell is overwhelming, making it impossible to enjoy the porch or the creek. I would hope future guests consider finding alternative accommodations for their visit to Ellijay. ##### Braden C. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Rebecca E. Sep 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great home and property but needs maintenance! Overall we had a great time. This home had more than enough home away from home items. We had to make the best of the weather and all tubing companies were closed due to the lower temps and off season. Our boys enjoyed the property inside and out. I would say the location was amazing to town and to a great family friendly park, Gilmer Recreation Park. The home was layed out well with great furnishings and the beds were comfortable and better than most. I would have to say the stale shut in smell was a big turn off. When we arrived my husband had to leave to go buy air freshener and air neutralizing sprays. Over the next few days the house began to smell better and better. If we had not bought the spray our trip wouldn't have been as pleasant. There is just a lot of dampness due to the humidity and being on the water. The freezer would not open to the fridge and the ice maker did not work.The kitchen appliances are very new and this was a surprise. The hot tub,fire pit, and river were a highlight! Although, the hot tub was a hit it needed chlorine. The master bedroom and bath were spacious. We found out quickly it takes time to allow the hot water to run before reaching warmth. We also discovered someone can not shower upstairs and down stairs at the same time, you will not have any hot water to share! The property offered so much room for running and playing. The playground was an added bonus. ##### Rebecca E. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Julia J.

Ellijay, GA is minutes away with lovely small town country charm. The host was very responsive to any questions that we had. Wonderful vacation with family. ##### Julia J.
