⭐️ Fully fenced for small and large dogs! ⭐️ 2 King size beds! ⭐️ All breeds and sizes welcome, dogs stay for free! ⭐️ 1.6 acres covered in wild mint (Spring/Summer)! ⭐️ Surrounded by mountain views, guinea hens, goats and horses! Welcome to Shepherd's Run! We Love Dogs and welcome all breeds and sizes! This fully renovated cozy cabin sits on 1.6 acres and is surrounded by pasture and mountain views, wild turkeys, guinea hens, goats and horses. The grounds are covered in wild peppermint - mint fragrance is hanging in the air and is ever so refreshing! Your furry family members will enjoy 2 fenced outdoor play areas, one with fire pit, seesaw, 3 truck tires to run through or jump over, a sniffari route with stones, hay, and posts to sniff at, jumping noodles, jolly balls of all sizes, a fillable pool (stored under the deck) and a huge sandbox for digging! Yay! We are right off Old Highway 5, minutes from Downtown Ellijay, outdoor activities, restaurants, groceries, shopping and in walking distance to the annual Apple Festival. The 800 sqft. cottage was build in 1940. The previous owners operated a free range chicken farm, chicken, cats, roosters, bunnies and turkeys were running wild and free on the land. After acquiring it in 2022, we completely renovated the bathroom, build a custom cabinet for the kitchen, updated the closets, added new lightning throughout and a much needed dishwasher. The shiny new red roof is only matched by the shiny red doors! The back porch (that's the porch you see when you drive in) was completely redone, a gate was added to keep our doggy guests inside and safe. We also build a flight of stairs leading down to the small fenced area. The metal gate can be opened to allow access to the large fenced area. Guests will find 2 king size beds, nightstand lamps with charging ports, a butcher block kitchen table with seating for four and a comfy leather sofa arrangement with plenty of blankets and pillows to watch a movie or show of choice. Furniture covers are provided for the dogs to allow them to snuggle up with you on the sofa or in front of the electric fireplace. A large dog crate is right next to the sofa and a variety of dog supplies can be found inside the cabinet in the kitchen. WE love this place and hope you will have a wonderful time staying with us.
You have access to all areas of the cottage except the locked storage cabinet and crawlspace.
Ellijay, Georgia, known as the "Apple Capital" of Georgia, is located between the Ellijay and Cartecay Rivers where they join to make the Coosawattee River. It is also the county seat of Gilmer County, Georgia. Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast, prefer fine dining, enjoy vineyard tours or lose yourself shopping for handmade arts and crafts - Ellijay and surrounding areas seem to have an endless array of activities to offer. The famous Georgia Apple Festival takes place every October right down the street from our cottage. Some of the best apple orchards are local to the area as well. Did I mention the wonderful Farmers market, the many delicious eateries located right off the square? There are hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails, countless camping opportunities, numerous fishing spots located along the rivers. In the mood for tubing? So much to explore. ENJOY!
