We had a great time staying here. The house has such beautiful character. The kids played in the creek. We enjoyed having two living rooms for our large group. The hosts were very easy to get in touch with. You do want to connect to the WiFi once you get on the property because of the lack of cell service. Once we did that. It was easy to call and text. We could have sat in the back porch over the creek for hours. It was such a great place to spend quality time together.

Best Stay in Ellijay!!!!

This little retreat in Ellijay, Georgia was the best we have stayed in. The layout of the house, the comfort of the beds, the location to the trout streams, and the fun that you can have on the creek. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and our time together. Thank you to our wonderful host and we hope to be back next year.

Peace Away From Home

My family and I stayed here for New Years and had an amazing time. The house is perfect and has lots of privacy for different families staying together. The property is beautiful and we spent most of our time outside enjoying the fresh mountain air. We can’t wait to come back!

Could use a little landscaping but the set up it perfect.

Very spacious and laid out well. Very clean and plenty of room to stay in and play games or go sit around the fire pit or take a short walk around. Our family loved it

Trout camp house

Took my son and friends for a quick get away. We were looking for nature, fishing and relaxing and that’s just what we had. Try to get there before dark if possible. Stayed 3 nights. Full day on property and full day exploring Ellajay and Blue Ridge. Cooked most meals there and late lunch in Ellajay one day. Teens loved the hot tub and exploring through the creek. Fishing and stream tromping.. we hope to stay again.

Plenty of space for eating, hanging out, and for everyone to get a good night’s rest. The house is obviously one of a kind but its also very comfortable and well maintained. The weather was gorgeous, perfectly shady and sunny property!

Family Fun

We had everything we needed. There were plenty of bedrooms with comfortable beds, a pool table, spacious living areas and gorgeous views from the back and front of house. Outside there was a swing, hot tub, firepit, water to play in and rocks to climb on for fun. We will never forget the fun we had at this beautiful and amazing house.

3rd time here, still great

The owners have really kept the property up, and are always very easy to work with. It's such a unique place. It's rare to find a location with 6 bedrooms, a fire pit, big kitchen, tons of space, AND a creek. Very private yet very open. We will be back again for sure.

Absolutely Beautiful Pictures cannot describe

The house and property are one of a kind. When you turn the corner and head up the drive you are just blown away. The kids loved floating and playing in the creek. The fireflies provided a nightly show that blended from high in the trees to the beautiful stars in the sky. Accurately described and owners have great communication. The house seemed to have everything we needed. Perfect location.

Clean, beautiful property

By far the cleanest and most well kept vacation home we have ever stayed in. The pictures do not do it justice. The property was gorgeous especially after it snowed! Great place for some family photos! Such a peaceful area to enjoy some family time. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals. We did not have any cell service in the house and the WiFi only worked in the living room and master bedroom for us. They do have a landline phone and WiFi calling also worked well in the living room.

A very unique property

We enjoyed our stay at this property for several reasons. There were many things to do without ever leaving the property. The creek/stream was fun to play in for all ages, the hot tub was enjoyed by many, we had a great time grilling hot dogs and making S'Mores at the firepit. There was plenty of room to enjoy TV , play pool, and other games. The house was located in a rural area, but we found Blue Ridge close by and enjoyed the shops and restaurants there. There were tubing opportunities on the nearby river, and we ventured in to Atlanta one day which was about a 90 minute drive.

4th of July Family Fun

This was our second visit to “A River Runs Through It”. This place is a gem for anyone looking to enjoy fishing in the creek on property. Our kids loved tubing right in front of the house. The peaceful surroundings provided the perfect backdrop for relaxation and outdoor activities. The property was immaculately clean and incredibly spacious, offering plenty of room for our group to spread out and feel comfortable. The hosts clearly take great care in maintaining the place, ensuring that every detail contributes to a wonderful stay. We had a great time tubing at Cartecay River Experience about 15 minutes from the house. Quick trips to downtown Ellijay and Blue Ridge were lots of fun. We can’t wait to come back again!!! Highly recommended!

Loved it !!!

Everything about this place screams relax and enjoy yourself. We would have never left the site to see anything except we had already had plans. We all felt we could have stayed there the whole time and been in a piece of paradise. The place is so homey and with 12 people you never felt like you were crowded at all. This place brings people together. The tv never was turned on at all the pool table and the river kept us all together as a family/friends and everyone enjoyed absolutely everything….we are ready to book again. Thank you!!!
