The rooms are bathed in the additional light of skylights and dimmable recessed lighting, chandeliers and pendants which help set the mood for any occasion.

The entire crowd can effortlessly move to and from the great room, with stack stone fireplace & comfortable seating for games and activities. Pull in a couple extra dining chairs and additional guests can join in the fun and memory-making. The kitchen is equally equipped to host your crowd. There are enormous double refrigerator/freezers for storing your perishables. An electric range/oven and a separate wall oven will ensble you to cook for your crowd and when its time to clean up there are 2 sets of sinks and dishwashers to make clean up a breeze. To keep the kids from clogging up the kitchen there’s a separate drink station with icemaker, sink and mini refrigerator designed especially for drinks. In addition, there is plenty of island counter space for several folks to work without it feeling crowded. That’s in part thanks to a separate butler’s pantry with more than ample dry good storage, a wall oven, sink and dishwasher.

In addition, your group can spill outside onto the covered porch which has an old school picnic table with benches and an outdoor living area that can accommodate another 7-8 people comfortably.

REAL MAGIC:
The real magic at Wit's End happens outside. Guests notice the natural beauty from the paved road as soon as they round the last bend, cross under the wooden arch over the driveway, and make their way over the bridge, and approach the house by car. Upon stepping outside you are greeted by what feels like the Black Forest, an almost pure grove of resplendent hemlock trees. Strap on a pair of hiking shoes and more than a mile of easy to moderate walking paths await winding through the Wit's End property and connect with trails beyond our border that go for miles and miles. The property boasts 8 footbridges that criss-cross the scenic Conasauga Creek and its tributary streams. A TREE TOP DECK sits high above the creek and offers a bird's eye view of the creek and the valley beyond. In the meadow below the house there is a CREEKSIDE PAVILION with sitting area, stack stone wood-burning fireplace, and 2 Pawley's Island hammocks. It's another fabulous spot to enjoy conversation or get away from the group to listen to the bold sounds of the creek or watch the butterflies flit among the cacophony of native summer wildflowers. The pavilion also has picnic tables for dining alfresco.

The property's park-like setting has additional sitting areas, picnic tables, swings, and campfire rings in which to help you immerse yourself in the beauty of your surroundings. Situated at the foot of the Cohutta Mountain range, and bordering the US Forest Service, Wit's End is ground zero for exploring the dozens of mountain biking and hiking trails in the area. These trails can transport you back in time to primordial old growth forests that host some of the temperate world's most diverse plant life and carry you to pristine mountain streams, breathtaking vistas, and stunning waterfalls in the adjoining Chattahoochee National Forest, neighboring Cohutta Wilderness, Lake Conasauga Songbird Management Area, and nearby Fort Mountain State Park. The Pinhoti Trail, popular with mountain bikers, is a mere 1000 foot walk or bike ride from the property and the Benton MacKaye Trail, which connects to the famous Appalachian Trail cuts through the area as well. The ever evolving and growing Mulberry Gap Mountain Bike Get-a-way is a mere 2 miles up the road. It would be hard to find a home better situated to take advantage of these wonderful & natural amenities.

DOWNTOWN ELLIJAY:
The great news is that civilization is not too far away if you need it. Downtown Ellijay, with its quaint town square provides shopping and wonderful variety of restaurants is just 10 miles away by paved road.
