December 19, 2025Our stay in this home was amazing! It’s a beautiful house, super clean and very comfortable. When it was time to leave, my kids were asking if we could stay longer! The host is great at communication and responsive. You won’t be disappointed.

December 15, 2025My guests and I had a wonderful stay. Chris and Jessica are very thoughtful and friendly hosts. The cabin was gorgeous, pristine, and cozy. The checkout was very easy and no-fuss. I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a retreat in northern Georgia!

December 8, 2025The pictures don’t do this place justice. Lovely stay with friends exploring the area, and the house was perfect to come back to and relax. Loved the views, the hot tub, and the comfiest of couches downstairs. Amazing place that I’d visit again.

November 3, 2025Perfect weekend getaway! The hosts instructions were very clear and helpful for navigating to the home. Check in was super easy and limited check out “requirements” were great. Everything you could possibly need was available in the home. It was a nice spot to hangout and entertain for a few days. Highly recommend!

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
Cantaberry
If we could only choose one spot for our favorite lunchtime option, this is the spot. Cantaberry Restaurant in Ellijay, GA, is known for its comforting, homemade meals served in a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Located in the heart of downtown, it’s a favorite among both residents and visitors seeking hearty soups, fresh salads, and satisfying sandwiches. Pro tip – save

29 North Wine & Art
This is a highly recommended stop – I love this place. This is a great spot to try a bunch of Georgia wines and local beers all in one spot. The owner (Chase) is a super good guy and easy to talk to. He’ll have some great recommendations for you. If there’s a long wait at our restaurant of choice
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
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
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
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 Bear Creek Trail is about a 25-minute drive from the cabin and offers a beautiful hike through lush, moss-covered forests. This moderate to hard hike is just over six miles long and guides adventurers along the serene banks of Bear Creek, across gentle stream crossings, and up to a nearby summit that presents panoramic views of the surrounding valley.
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
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
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.
The Roof – Ellijay
One of our favorite spots in Ellijay is The Roof. My wife and I love coming here for a date night or just to kick back and enjoy some great food and drinks. Perched right in the heart of downtown, it’s a great rooftop dining experience. We love the Fresh Appalachian Trout and the Shrimp & Grits. It’s comfort food
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
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
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
