Fantastic place to stay!

The house was perfectly decorated, super clean, and very comfortable to stay in. We were surrounded by a gorgeous view of trees, with food and grocery stores in close driving distance. The kitchen has a decent supply of cooking items and the bathrooms were stocked with towels, shampoo, conditioner, etc. We were charmed from the moment we walked in the door and will definitely come back again. Thank you for being great hosts!

Perfectly relaxing

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this beautifully decorated and comfortable home. We cooked meals in the beautiful kitchen, the kids played hours of air hockey and we enjoyed all that Ellijay offers. The notebook left by the host helped us decide on which hikes to take and which restaurants to dine at. If you like wine, visit Roo. Stunning view!

Wonderful 1st Visit to Ellijay

Such a nice place to enjoy a long weekend in Ellijay! I’m a self-professed “decor snob,” so I tend to book places that are aesthetically pleasing. This house did not disappoint! It’s exactly as pictured. It’s also a great location for exploring Ellijay and the surrounding areas. We’d definitely stay again!

Bachelorette party

We stayed for a bachlorette party for my daughter and could not have found a better place to stay! It has everything you need to stay in and cook or close enough to all the restaurants if you want to go out. The pictures are exactly what you find when you walk in the door. Perfect, quiet and can’t wait to stay again! And to top it off Jenny was so nice checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed.

Late Winter Getaway

Very nice cozy home away from home. Convenient to Ellijay and Attractions. Quiet, private neighborhood. New home with great amenities. Easy access to the home via paved roads and no crazy hills or curves to navigate. The whole home is on one level making it easily handicap accessible. We enjoyed the Winery's in the area and the Antique shop's. Lot's of new restaurant's to try.

Birthday/Anniversary Get Away

Ivy's Retreat was wonderful!! The cabin is absolutely gorgeous and over exceeded our expectations. It's in a very quiet neighborhood and the surroundings gave us a beautiful fall sitting. The owner has the cabin very well stocked with all the essentials to cook meals as we cooked breakfast at the cabin each morning and even grilled out the last night we were there. We will definitely be booking again for future trips to Ellijay and Blue Ridge.
