A beautiful home and a great location. It was quiet and secluded and peaceful. One of the nice bonuses was the availability of a full-size garage to park in out of the rain. Even got to see a few deer prancing around the property.

East Ellijay private home

We had an excellent stay! The home was lovely, well maintained, and clean. Very private area. Area roads are narrow, winding, dark, and filled with deer. We did not use hot tub, but did enjoy fire pit and porch seating. Highly recommend
