Great area. The River house was perfect for the 4 of us. Very convenient to downtown, the stores and Ellijay area. The River House has several sitting areas outside which was very nice except it rained the whole time, so utilized the porch furniture a lot. Definitely would rent this place again. Our favorite wineries are The Roo & Buckley’s.
absolutely beautiful accommodations. host very receptive when we had a yellow jacket issue. luxury bedding and furniture. kitchen fully equipped with coffee bar ! sat outside alot and walking our dog was so easy, tranquil setting so very quiet. Wish we could come back tomorrow!

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!
