Jun 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We spent a week at this house with our family of 15—from toddlers to grandparents—and it was perfect. The spacious layout never felt crowded, with a large living area and two dining tables allowing us to gather or spread out as needed. The kitchen had everything required to cook for our group, and meal prep was easy even with several people working at once.Kids loved exploring the creek and forest behind the house. Despite rainy days, they splashed in the creek and tromped through the woods. Adults appreciated quiet bedrooms and cozy corners for reading or napping. On sunny moments, the deck was ideal for morning coffee and relaxed gatherings.Even with rain, the house kept us busy with board games and enjoying family time at the big dining tables. Between ample space, comfortable communal areas, and a beautiful natural setting, this property met all our needs. We’d gladly return for another stay and recommend it to any large family seeking a roomy, peaceful retreat. ##### Jonathan W. Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Molly P.

It was perfect place to getaway and spend quality time as a family. The lack of cell service made this the best vacation we've had in a while! We especially loved wading in the creek and making s'mores on the screened-in porch. The interior of the home was spacious and well-appointed. Fabulous stay! ##### Jana W.

This was perfect for our group of 8. The kitchen was stocked with every appliance we could think of. Plenty of gathering space on the main with great dining space. Very clean and neat. We spent some time at the pavilion by the creek. The rushing water is so peaceful and can be heard from the house. Everyone was wishing we had another day. The house can handle very a large group, but is designed for comfort and conversation. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and answered any questions we had before the trip quickly. We are already planning another trip and this is where everyone wants to stay. ##### Harriett F. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jana W.

From the creeks meandering through the property to the feeling of total seclusion, it's truly a magical place. The house was recently renovated and now has an expanded main level that was perfect for our group, with two full size dining tables and two seating areas, not to mention the seating area on the porch! This allowed for the kids to be doing puzzles in one area while the adults were reading in another and lots of space for us to spread out. Can't wait till our next trip! ##### Jana W.

The 2 large tables make meals and games especially enjoyable. The check-in process was seamless and communication with the owner was great. Sitting on the beautiful deck listening to the flow of water over the rocks in the river was truly peaceful. The outdoor space is just as beautiful as the indoor space.

This property was our absolute favorite! It was in a great location & easy to travel to. The property was surrounded by beautiful trees & streams. There were adorable little bridges & even a lookout platform. The property was great for hiking or just relaxing. The 7 bedrooms & 7 1/2 baths were just what our large group needed. There was plenty of space. We loved the huge tables for meals & the large kitchen for preparing meals. The communication with the property manager was quick & very informative. We definitely would like to book this property again in the future. ##### Marcy T. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea P.

The house and property exceeded our expectations for comfort and scenic beauty. We spent each day surrounded by the sounds of nature. Our 6 grandchildren, ranging in ages from 2 - 6 played in the stream, ran in the fields, hiked like little troopers, and giggled until they fell fast asleep each night. We explored the area, found wonderful fishing ponds, swimming holes, and tubed down the refreshingly cold river. The owner couldn’t have been kinder to work with and we hope to return for many more years to come. Thank you for helping us to create lifelong memories with our family.

Our family of 10 adults and 6 kids between 3-12 absolutely loved our time at Wit’s End. With seven bedrooms and tons of bathrooms, everyone had the space they needed and more. This is truly a reunion house with two large tables, two kitchens and two laundry facilities. So, instead of being able to “sleep 16”.(but you find the kitchen table that seats 8, this home can actually accommodate everyone! We enjoyed playing at the creek, walking the BEAUTIFUL grounds, hanging at the pavilion and reading in the hammocks. We took a couple day trips to nearby Lakes, went hiking and visited a nearby apple orchard (that was really a store, but was great.) Visited Blue Ridge and the town of Ellijay and did four puzzles! Loved the comfortable furniture, the layout (good for gathering and games) and were so thankful for the well-stocked kitchen and many books and magazines. Honestly, really loved this spot and would highly recommend! Even saw a Mama bear and her three cubs! ##### Cindy C. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Patricia L. Jun 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Living Nightmare It was a nightmare. We were double booked. I booked and paid in full August of 2023. When we got there , another family was entering. They booked on another platform. We booked on VRBO - 10 months ago. I had 20 family members coming and the owner gave the other family the place. He said is was a VRBO mistake. I question - wasn't he informed when we booked and paid on 8/2023? We were without a place to go. I was sick. VRBo was not helpful in helping us find another place. We got lucky and booked a last minute place in Morganton, GA. The owner was great - she did accommodate for our last minute crisis. I was very upset that VRBO was unable to help us and I'm not sure I trust the owner with this oversight. Don't understand why he didn't know months ago this place was rented. I hope this never happens to you! ##### Patricia L. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca Y.

It’s in a beautiful location, tons of room for guests to spread out, soooo clean and very convenient for any small gathering or event. We decided to have our wedding there and made a weekend of it with our closest friends and family. Our best man/family and maid of honor/family stayed with our family of four in the cabin and we didn’t even take up all of the beds. The property itself is very serene and quiet, and the house is gorgeous inside and out. The kids/teens loved having their own space downstairs and enjoyed the outdoor fireplace for hanging out. My fav part was the large deck with the sounds of the babbling brook coming up from below. They keep the home VERY clean and organized, their cleaning lady Miss Kim must work overtime cuz that place was spotless and super organized. They have several things that you need to save you a trip to town if you forget anything. Only complaints are the wonky driveway, but that really can’t be helped, and cell service is terrible. Make sure to read the planning packet sent to you by the host, cuz we had “fun” trying to find the WiFi password the first night until I just called him. But he responded very quickly and we didn’t need anything else during our stay. We ended up just writing it on a chalkboard piece for future guests lol. Definitely would love to rent again for a family weekend to relax and enjoy some hiking. Worth every penny!!! ##### Rebecca Y. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cynthia B.

The youngest crew was happy in the basement where the TV, game system and pool table are housed. There was an odor issue caused by a leaky shower drain in the basement, but the host called a plumber for it once notified. The different floors are very soundproofed, you really couldn’t hear anything from one floor to the next, great for getting away. The porch was nice. We had to reset a breaker before the ceiling fans would work out there, but they created a great breeze and kept flying bugs away. The amenities and thoughtful touches in the house are numerous. We loved the separate butler’s pantry and coffee bar. The bears made many, many appearances. There were at least 10 different bears that we could tell apart, and they are not afraid to come right up on the porch. We have pictures where the mama bear’s nose is pressed to the kitchen window while her three cubs played on top of our car. One larger male tore the top off the bear box on the side of the house one night. He didn’t manage to get into the one on the front porch. It’s smaller and boxed in on three sides. So I’d call for more frequent pickup of trash rather than use the side box. My mom didn’t get out and enjoy as much of the property as planned because the bears were so close throughout the days. They were not very afraid of people and didn’t scatter very quickly if we yelled. They posed for a lot of pictures. ##### Cynthia B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bobby W.

We definitely needed more time! The house is beautiful, and the land truly expansive! We specifically wanted no wifi to get the boys off their phones. There was so much to keep them busy....games in the house, outside to explore, and nearby outdoor adventures as well. Thanks for opening your home to us! ##### Sarah H.

The property was well-stocked and clean for the most part. The only issue we had was that the floor of the upstairs shower wasn't clean and we ran short on toilet paper. The pavilion below the house was nice and stocked with cut wood so we roasted marshmallows. The kitchen had plenty of cooking and baking supplies and was convenient to work in, which was nice since we didn't want to go to town for most meals. One suggestion: the doors were incredibly squeaky, so I would suggest some WD-40 so future guests don't have to worry about waking up others. ##### Vicki C.

We all ended up being grateful for the chance to unplug and reconnect with each other. The hikes around the property were wonderful and the scenery was pretty as a picture! The house included a well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, fireplaces, games and puzzles. We had so much fun hanging out that we never even went into Ellijay. We just stayed at the house the whole time. We did venture up to Barnes Creek Falls which was totally worth it. We loved this property and would totally come back here again! ##### Sue S.

From the master bedroom, you could hear the babbling creek. Hiking trails on the property and mountain biking trails just down the road. Not having cell phone reception or wi-fi was a little inconvenient but it also let us completely unplug. This is truly an amazing property and we will come to stay again! ##### Alesha V.

This home checked all the boxes. Comfortable, roomy, outdoor fireplace, well equipped. Saturday was very cold so we enjoyed the day mostly inside. Sunday we bundled up and went in a hike through the property. Lovely views and some history too. Children loved it. Overall wonderful weekend. We will be back ##### Cannon J.
