2 Bedroom Cottage in Ellijay

⭐️ Fully fenced for small and large dogs!
⭐️ 2 King size beds!
⭐️ All breeds and sizes welcome, dogs stay for free!
⭐️ 1.6 acres covered in wild mint (Spring/Summer)!
⭐️ Surrounded by mountain views!
Welcome to Shepherd's Run!
We love dogs and welcome all breeds and sizes! This fully renovated, cozy cabin sits on 1.6 acres surrounded by pastures, mountain views, and abundant wildlife. The grounds are covered in wild peppermint, filling the air with a refreshing, natural fragrance. Your furry family members will delight in two fenced outdoor play areas: one features a fire pit, seesaw, three truck tires to run through or jump over, a sniffari route with stones, hay, and posts to explore, jumping noodles, jolly balls of all sizes, a fillable pool (stored under the deck), and a huge sandbox for digging — fun for all!
Conveniently located just off Old Highway 5, you’re only minutes from Downtown Ellijay, outdoor adventures, restaurants, shopping, groceries, and within walking distance to the annual Apple Festival.
The 800 sqft cottage, built in 1940, was previously a free-range chicken farm with chickens, cats, roosters, bunnies, and turkeys roaming freely. After acquiring it in 2022, we completely renovated the bathroom, built a custom kitchen cabinet, updated closets, added new lighting, and installed a much-needed dishwasher. The shiny red roof perfectly matches the bright red doors!
The back porch was fully redone and gated for dog safety, with stairs leading to a small fenced area. The metal gate can be opened to access the large fenced yard.
Inside, you’ll find two king-size beds, nightstand lamps with charging ports, a butcher block kitchen table with seating for four, and a comfy leather sofa with plenty of blankets and pillows for movie nights or cozy evenings by the electric fireplace. Furniture covers allow your dogs to snuggle right alongside you. A large dog crate sits next to the sofa, and a variety of dog supplies are conveniently stored in the kitchen cabinet. We love this place and hope you and your furry friends have a wonderful stay!
You have access to all areas of the cottage except the locked storage cabinet and crawlspace.
Ellijay, Georgia, known as the "Apple Capital" of Georgia, is located between the Ellijay and Cartecay Rivers where they join to make the Coosawattee River. It is also the county seat of Gilmer County, Georgia. Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast, prefer fine dining, enjoy vineyard tours or lose yourself shopping for handmade arts and crafts - Ellijay and surrounding areas seem to have an endless array of activities to offer.
The famous Georgia Apple Festival takes place every October right down the street from our cottage. Some of the best apple orchards are local to the area as well. Did I mention the wonderful Farmers market, the many delicious eateries located right off the square?
There are hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails, countless camping opportunities, numerous fishing spots located along the rivers. In the mood for tubing? So much to explore. ENJOY!
Please note! The bathroom is shared and can only be accessed through the main bedroom. Please consider this set up before making a reservation!

Summary: We loved our stay at Shepherds Run and so did our 3 dogs!!! The cabin is adorable, with 2 king size bedrooms and dog bowls and crates already available!!! Our dogs had fun in the fully fenced play yard, digging in the sand and playing on the agility seesaw and running thru the truck tires. The cabin has both front and rear fenced in porches with table, chairs and dog amenities as well. Lots of stuff to do in Ellijay, some fine stores as well as pubs and restaurants. We had a relaxing time, and have already rebooked for a week in November!!

Summary: The cabin was literally less than 5 minutes from town yet secluded enough that every morning and evening we were treated to a small herd of deer in the field out back and a few late afternoon visits by a gaggle of turkeys. Amenities for my fur babies were amazing-a large fenced in yard to run through, treats, toys and raised beds, both on the porch and by the fire pit. The cabin itself was clean, well maintained and a comfortable place to return to at the end of each day after exploring local sights and trails. Andrea was great, responded immediately to my request to extend my stay by additional time. Overall, we had a wonderful visit and will definitely be returning.

Summary: We are regular visitors to Ellijay with our dogs and usually stay in cabins that are 20-30 minutes from town. We were interested in being closer for a change and the attraction of this spacious yard for the dogs wooed us. We had a lovely stay, spending most of our time in the charming porch with the gorgeous view (and a ceiling fan that did much to keep things tolerable in the heat). There is traffic noise, of course, but even when we're up in the hills we can't escape that. As others have noted, this will probably be the most dog-friendly place you've ever stayed. The crates are especially appreciated as are sheets and towels for them. Our two pups loved the yard, especially after it was mown. You may be visited by some free-roaming dogs in the neighborhood. We did like being closer to town this time, able to pop out for a meal or thrifting without having to be concerned about the length or condition of the drive. We'll still sometimes stay in more secluded spots, but we also would definitely stay at Shepherd's Run again!

Summary: We came for a getaway mini-vacation and that’s what we got! We’re from the Florida flatlands so, the hills and mountains here are very beautiful to us. Our furbaby loved taking in all the wildlife and the freedom to explore the property. We enjoyed downtown Ellijay and sampling local beer and cider. But hiking to the top of Amicalola Falls was our favorite thing to do!!

Summary: We had a great trip, the location is perfect a 5 min drive if that, the other direction you have all the stores you could think of if you forget anything. In the mornings we enjoyed going to breakfast and going for a walk just down the road with the dogs. Wineries.. we love them we had a few favorite.. Roo Mountain (Great views), Fainting Goat Vineyards, but our personal favorite was Cairn View Winery.. we went there twice. Shepherds Run had everything you needed for your dogs, it was everything everyone said. I would love to go back to try one of their other properties sometime. If you are looking to watch wildlife and have a campfire this is the place for you.. It was amazing having the dogs in an enclosed space.

Summary: So nice to have a place welcoming my dog, Kodi. He could relax in the yard while I relaxed outside. You just can’t do that in a hotel. Wonderful park nearby to walk or Carter’s Lake for nature trails. Small downtown with cute stores, very dog friendly all around. I will return.

Summary: The house was cute and well stocked! The town of Ellijay was cute and we enjoyed The Rooftop.

Summary: We arrived late on Monday night, Cabin was ready and check in was a breeze. Cabin was spotless and well prepared for the dogs & Humans Cozy Cabin with 2 outdoor Areas for the pooch, one small for a quick run out and a bigger area for a good run. The cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, it was wet and cold the whole week but we stayed warm & dry even managed a fire on the last night. Regular check-in from Andrea the host really made everything easy. We ordered from the Mexican Restaurant behind Starbucks - excellent and the Bread shop by Walmart was good as well but apart from the cabin the highlight was Roo Mountain Winery, dog friendly with great food and drinks. We will be back

Summary: I stayed at shepherds run. The place was so amazing for my fur babies. We loved the house but most importantly the area that was FENCED in so my pups could run and play. Then off of the sitting area was a smaller fenced in area that was just perfect for night time bathroom breaks!! One other thing about shepherds run is the ease of getting all your belongings in and out of the house!! Hoping to go back in the fall!!

Summary: Shepherd's Run was exactly what we needed to escape the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. I was really touched by the dog details of the treats, toys, and the cabin knowing that dogs are messy and can get messy. I liked how the rooms were kept, the convenience of laundry and all the items we needed to cook. And the little town around Shepherd's Run was close by so we could enjoy more of the cabin. The outdoor firepit was great! Our stay was enjoyable. The cleaning at the end of a stay was not too much to ask for. We went to Saquatch museum and explored the yard to greet the neighbors' horse and dog who were behind in their fence and far enough away to not confront our dogs or potentially create confrontational issues.
