Absolutely Lovely!

A perfect gem that has lovely scenery, great large layout and very clean. Lots of wineries nearby. The views from the back deck-porch could not be more calming. Sitting by the water was divine. Will be back for sure.

Our group had a great weekend stay at A River Runs Through It. The property is very unique, you won't find another like it in the area. The whole house was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook some great meals, and the grill worked well. The property is interesting to explore and walk around on the creek rocks, and it's private enough that we were not disturbed by neighbors or passersby. It's very pleasant and peaceful to relax on the deck with the water rushing below. The hosts were very accommodating and communicative, and while we didn't need anything from them during our stay, I know we could've reached out if we encountered any issues. I definitely hope to come back again. Thanks for having us!

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

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.
