Ellijay is the Apple and Mountain bike capital of Georgia with endless activities to enjoy! We are also located near many national forests preserves as well! Many deer call this neighborhood home, and I can almost guarantee you will see them in their natural habitat each day!

It also offers many amenities for free! Your Stay includes access to all 5 parks, access to the river tubing (tube not included) and rope swing, Picnic Area with Charcoal BBQ Grills, fishing pond (No License required), Fenced in Doggy Park area (Large and Small dog separation). We are a dog friendly property so furry friends are welcome!

There are also a number of paid amenities, but your stay includes 8 free passes for your entire stay! Amenities include an Indoor (heated pool)/outdoor pools, mini golf (putt putt), pickle-ball, basketball and tennis courts, workout room (weights, exercise bike, elliptical, treadmill), and arcade w/ pool table, ping pong, air hockey and arcade games. I would recommend a day at the pool followed by a round of mini golf in the early evening! If more than 8 passes are needed, they can be purchased at the HOA office. Please leave passes when you check out otherwise there is a $100 replacement fee.

The best cabin!!

We’ve stayed in many cabins and this was by far the best one! They had everything you could possibly need and more! Everything was labeled, organized and so clean! Beds were so comfy!! The backyard was our favorite! We loved playing cornhole and sitting around the fire pit. The host were awesome and made the process so easy. Will definitely be back!!

Perfect vrbo for a long weekend getaway

We had an amazing fall break at this VRBO! We would HIGHLY recommend. This property was so clean and no detail was left out. We enjoyed eating out and cooking some meals in the fully functional kitchen. We enjoyed making a fire, eating smores, and playing cornhole, as well as utilizing the hot tub. The beds were so comfortable and perfect for our three generations family. We would stay here in the future for sure!

The house was beautiful and exactly like it was described. So much space! Plenty for the kids to do even on rainy days. The host was amazing and responded quickly when we messaged. Wild life, deer everywhere. It was a great experience. So glad we visited.

Family Vacation

This house is beautiful! Their cleaning crew is amazing! The beds are comfortable. This house is well stocked and has lots of added features to entertain everyone from sitting by the fire pit, to playing air hockey or watching TV on one of many TVs available. I choose this house because of the number of bathrooms! And I must say even the shower was great....hot water and great pressure!

Fun birthday weekend in Ellijay

We had a fabulous weekend at this property. We had 11 adults for a 30th birthday weekend. The property was so clean and exactly as pictured. The owner and property manager were very communicative and nice. We loved the neighborhood and town. Here are some of the highlights:1. The property is SO pet friendly. They had thought of everything to make our fur babies welcome.2. The welcome packet - all of the suggestions and recommendations were perfect!3. The yard - amazing back yard with hot tub and bon fire. Very private in the woods.4. Overall accommodations - nice mattresses, pillows, and sheets. Good amount of soap, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, etc. Plenty of kitchen supplies, glassware, cookware as well. We hope to be back soon!
