"We loved this place as there are plenty of activities for the kids they were never bored. The location of the property is in a serene place where you can get the view of a small creek while enjoying the mountain."
--Som, April 2025
FIVE STARS
When we first discovered this property nestled between Ellijay and Blue Ridge, we immediately fell in love with its open spaces, bubbling creek, and natural beauty.
What began as a weekend retreat for our own family has transformed into a completely remodeled mountain haven that we are thrilled to share with you. We've doubled the space by adding a second floor while carefully preserving the natural charm that makes this setting so magical.
