March 27, 2026This is place is just what the Dr ordered. Serene and really enjoyed the fire pit to hang out and relax. Lots of great amenities and was so relaxing. Chris & Jessica were super responsive and would definitely come back!!
Redfern Land Co.
March 24, 2026What an amazing cabin! As soon as you arrive you feel at home. The cabin is beautifully designed and its interior is spacious and well furnished. We had a family of four and couldn’t have had a better time. When at the cabin we had everything we could have needed and the kids loved the shuffle puck game! When we headed out to explore the nearby downtown did not disappoint. With tons of stores, cafes and restaurants there was plenty to do! We will definitely be back.
Amy
March 17, 2026Would stay again and again! Located on a private peaceful spot surrounded by beautiful trees and only 15 minutes to downtown and groceries. Cabin is clean, furnishings new, beds comfortable, everything marked for convenience and plenty of space . We loved the upstairs patio in the mornings and the large living room downstairs for movie nights. Highly recommend booking! One of the best we stayed in. Chris and Jessica are wonderful and responsive hosts!
Jeremy
February 16, 2026We had a great stay this past weekend. The home was exceptionally clean and had a very comfortable, homey feel that made it easy to relax right away. Everything was well maintained and exactly as described. The space was cozy and felt more like a home than a rental. Communication with the host was easy and responsive, and check-in/check-out were seamless. We’d definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to others.

February 10, 2026We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves during our entire stay. The cabin was beautiful, with the perfect amount of rustic feel balanced with modern amenities. The evenings were quiet and peaceful. Would recommend this cabin to anyone. We wish we’d have had more time!
Jessica
January 20, 2026The cabin was exactly what we needed for a Mom’s weekend away! The kitchen was well stocked, the downstairs area was great for hanging out at the house, and the bedroom/bathroom situation was ideal for 5 women spending the weekend there.

Ellijay Wood Fired Pizza
Every town needs a great pizza spot. We definitely have ours! Ellijay Wood Fired Pizza, nestled at the corner of River and Main Streets in the heart of downtown. This is our go to spot for great wood-fired pizzas (get out of here Pizza Hut). This spot has the atmosphere (and smell) you want in a pizza place – that
Buckley Vineyards
Buckley Vineyards is our all-around favorite winery in the area! The staff are knowledgeable, warm, and welcoming, and all the wine we’ve tasted here has been excellent. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, with live music on the weekends. As a bonus, Buckley is located just minutes from Ott Vineyards, which is excellent in its own right. If you’re looking
Ott Vineyards And Winery
Ott is a part of our favorite winery pairings. While Ott is an excellent Winery with great wines that stand on their own, it’s located right next door to Buckley (which is our favorite all around). Ott has great live music on the weekends (in season) and has a great outside area with an adults-only section. Standout wines here for
Emery Creek Falls Trail
This hike is just 20-25 mins away and is my favorite in the area. It’s definitely a longer day hike (6.2-mile out-and-back trail) and offers a challenging adventure that rewards hikers with the sight of two stunning waterfalls. There are 10-15 river crossings, so go prepared for wet feet. The first one is the most challenging – it takes a
River Street Tavern
River Street Tavern is our favorite pub food spot. It’s unassuming with seriously good food and drink. The Gettin’ Figgy With It Chicken Sandwich and the Tavern Bear Creek Burger are our standout favorites. The Tavern has a great selection of drinks, too, with plenty of local craft beers on tap. The service is always friendly, and the whole place has
Chateau Meichtry Family Vineyard and Winery
We love the wine here. Chateau Meichtry feels like a classic old-school winery. While we like everything we’ve tried here, the standouts are the Lineage Red Blend (70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 10% Zinfandel, aged in French oak for 19 months) and the dry Riesling.
Cartecay River Loop Trail
The Cartecay River Loop Trail is a 3.4-mile loop about 22 minutes away. This moderately challenging trail offers a diverse experience, winding through open fields, dense forests, and along the picturesque Cartecay River. On this hike, you’ll encounter varying terrains, including a couple of moderately steep sections and creek crossings, making it an engaging adventure for those seeking a bit
La Catrina Tacos & Margaritas
La Catrina Tacos & Margaritas in Ellijay, GA, is a delightful spot offering authentic Mexican cuisine in a warm and inviting atmosphere. We’ve enjoyed everything we’ve had here (and this is a regular spot for us). The carne asada, chimichangas, and birria tacos are great places to start. The margaritas are creative and fresh. This is the spot for anyone

Tumbling Waters Trail is a scenic one-mile loop about 25 minutes away. This is a family-friendly hike that offers beautiful views of cascading waterfalls along Tails Creek and a wooden bridge overlooking Carters Lake. The trail meanders through lush forests filled with ferns and pines, providing a serene nature experience. Its easy-to-moderate difficulty level makes it perfect for hikers of
Chili Dog
This one is easy to miss. It’s a southern charm, laid-back, no-frills spot with seriously good food. Chili Dog in Ellijay is the place to go. We love coming here for breakfast—it’s easily one of our favorite morning stops. A cinnamon roll is a must (any time of day). Their biscuit sandwiches are insanely good. Their chili dog is on
Roo Mountain Vineyards
Just minutes from our cabin is Roo Mountain Vineyards. If you’re only doing one winery while you’re with us, this is the spot. Not only is it very close, but it’s also spectacularly beautiful, with great wines (heads up, families – Roo Mountain Vineyards is a 21+ facility). As you approach the vineyard, the expansive views of protected mountains and
The Butcher and Bottle
The Butcher & Bottle is a spectacular spot in Ellijay for an incredible meal. It’s a great date night spot with excellent food and a great wine selection. For appetizers, we’d highly recommend the Diablo Shrimp, the B&B Meatballs , or the Tuna Stack. Honestly, you could make a meal out of just the starters! If you’re in the mood
Amicalola Falls
One of our favorite hikes in the area is the Amicalola Falls via East Ridge Loop Trail, located in Amicalola Falls State Park. This 2.2-mile loop offers a moderately challenging trek that rewards hikers with stunning views of Georgia’s tallest waterfall, cascading over 729 feet. Starting at the Visitor Center, the trail ascends through a series of switchbacks, providing glimpses

The farm cultivates gourmet shiitake and oyster mushrooms, harvested daily and quickly refrigerated to maintain peak freshness and flavor.

Gahuti Trail
This is the longest of our recommended hikes. It’s a lengthy day hike and a challenge, but a spectacular hike. The hike is in the Fort Mountain State Park ($5 entrance fee). There are many other hiking options inside the park. The best part of the hike is on the west side. The view is spectacular. On a clear day
