Summary: Ellijay Mountain Home on the Water exceeded every expectation. This property offers a truly tranquil and picturesque escape. The house itself is beautifully appointed, clean, and comfortable, with ample space for a family or group. The kitchen is well-equipped, making cooking a breeze.The real highlight is the location. Being right on the water provides stunning views and easy access for kayaking or simply relaxing by the river. The outdoor spaces, including the deck and fire pit, are perfect for enjoying the peaceful mountain environment.While the drive can be a bit winding, it's well worth it for the secluded and serene setting. The proximity to Ellijay's shops and restaurants offers a nice balance of seclusion and convenience.Overall, this mountain home is a gem. It's ideal for those seeking a relaxing getaway surrounded by nature. Highly recommended!

Summary: The home was beautiful! 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.

Summary: The house and property are beautiful and well kept. The owners ensured the entire house was equipted with more than you could ever need. My wife and I highly recommend the property for family and couples.

Ray W. Nov 25, 2024 03:33:43 AM

Summary: Let me say this place is the best place we have stayed at in Ellijay. Very clean, easy to access the property & local towns.

Tina C. Nov 13, 2024 12:24:21 AM

Summary: The home and property are beautiful and very spacious. 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. Thank you for sharing this lovely home with us. The Clarks

Summary: The house is beautiful, comfortable, and clean. Very nice secluded property on the river. 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.

Larry D. Oct 14, 2024 05:39:52 AM

Summary: The house was as pretty as advertised. The back porch was wonderful. The fire pit area was also fantastic! But the highlight is the stream that runs in the backyard, the calming rippling water was very soothing. Great place!!!!

Summary: Very clean, nice place

Bill H. Sep 3, 2024 05:10:14 AM

Summary: Had a great time in Ellijay and the cabin. Hanging out at the fire pit made my trip. With the weather being comfortable and the water was very relaxing. Tried my luck with fishing, glad there were restaurants in town serving fish. Overall had very good time looking to do it again.

Kim M. Aug 26, 2024 12:21:40 AM

Summary: The house was very beautiful and well stocked. They even had tubes for the kids to enjoy the river. We spent most of our time around the fire pit watching them play in the water. It is very convenient to restaurants and the Orchards of Ellijay were fun as well. We will definitely be back to this property.
