We had a wonderful time at this property! Three families of cousins traveled from New York, Colorado, and Alabama to meet up, and the owners were so kind and accommodating, even allowing an early check-in for the family who flew in early.The home was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. All the beds were cozy, and it was such a bonus that each set of parents had a king bed. We loved how close the house was to Ellijay and the local vineyards. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking family meals, and the pool table provided lots of fun and laughs!!There was easy access to the river, and we made such precious memories with the next generation of cousins. We will definitely book this property again!

From the owner: "Thank you for the review and comments! We are so happy you made such wonderful memories at our home! We look forward to hosting you again in the future."
This home worked great for our extended family vacation - group of 6 adults, 2 teens and 2 children. There was plenty of room for everyone and additional sleep options had we needed them. The home was beautifully decorated, clean and well stocked. We didn’t have any issues on our trip but the contact was responsive when I reached out ahead of arrival and after departure.
There are 3 levels in the home (so obviously stairs) and a slope with additional stairs to the outdoor fire pit and dock. Grandma stayed in the master on the main level to reduce her use of the stairs and that worked out.
We enjoyed the game room, pool table, living room for games and movie night and of course the outdoor area - coffee in the morning and relaxing in the afternoons. The group enjoyed exploring the river and sitting around the fire pit.
There are many options for activities within 30 minutes of the property and we enjoyed exploring North Georgia. Thank you for sharing your home!
From the owner: "We are so happy our home worked so well for you and your family, and thanks so much for your kind words. We are truly happy that you enjoyed Ellijay as well. We look forward to hosting you again in the future!"
We absolutely loved this property! It was perfect for our family!

Three families traveled together and stayed at this wonderful property. The river was so easily accessible, both the adults and kids loved tubing the river and being able to get out right at the house. There were plenty of things to do close by. The house itself is amazing with three King beds, which is great for multiple families staying together. Everything is super well stocked and clean. We made s’mores, hung out by the river played games and made memories. This is, for sure, going to be an annual thing for our family. Thank you to the owners for sharing your perfect river getaway with us.
