Great Stay
This house was wonderful! It had everything you could think of! From a fully stocked kitchen, to tons of towels and supplies, everything was great. The outdoor area was so relaxing and nice. The house was in a perfect location- far enough away that we couldn’t hear cars, but only 5-10 minutes from the grocery store and restaurants. It is about 25-30 minutes from tons of hiking, and only 10 minutes from downtown Ellijay. We will definitely stay here again!
