Romantic River Escape: Indoor Hot Tub & Fire Pit
Had a long weekend work trip in Charlotte, NC and my boyfriend and I wanted to take a day off for ourselves. Alex’s place was a dead winner for us! The drive through the mountains was amazing and the home itself is homey. We love to vacation as a time to recharge and relax and this stay exceeded our expectations. Alex is very communicative and knowledgeable of the area. There’s plenty to do in the immediate area such as tubing, a cafe, souvenir shopping, and hiking. We stayed inside and enjoyed the hot tub and had a movie night but we will definitely be back again to experience all the fun!! This is a wonderful place to stay with your romantic loved one!

Nature lovers escape to Ellijay
This is the fourth time we have rented the cabin. Three times were for five weeks each. We love it there and could not ask for a better host, very responsive to our needs. Each time we return there are new additions to the property, this time a lovely fire pit and stairs leading from upper parking lot to cabin. Very peaceful and quiet with a pond on the property. We look for the deer and turkeys on the road to the cabin.

Private River Cabin + Game Room- Near Blue Ridge
Everything was great! We had a wonderful tjme

Dragonfly Den - Luxury Waterfront/Hot Tub/Games
Our stay at Dragonfly Den was truly relaxing and enjoyable. The home was very clean, cozy, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed, from a fully equipped kitchen to a comfortable living space with a lovely fireplace that made it feel warm and welcoming. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we all slept great during our stay. One of our favorite parts was the peaceful pergola in the backyard. It was the perfect spot to unwind, enjoy a cup of coffee, and watch the river, we even saw some beautiful wildlife passing through. The location feels tucked away and private, but still accessible. The drive in does have some steep hills, but we had no trouble at all with good weather and it added to the adventure. Russell was a fantastic host, responsive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. We’d absolutely stay at Dragonfly Den again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in a beautiful setting.

Hilltop Haus | Stunning Views | sauna,gym,hot tub
I’d advise against driving a sedan or a small vehicle, but the drive up to the home isn’t bad at all. It’s just a little bit of a clincher. Best views I’ve ever had at a mountain cabin. Late cotober here would be a religious experience. The sun sets directly over the mountain in full view of the back porch. Incredible sight.

Calming Creekside Cabin
Absolutely beautiful place and oh so peaceful. While there is a road right by the house, it doesnt really distract from the beautiful scenery and noise of the creek nearby. We took advantage of basically all the ammenities. We went in the canoe, relaxed in the hot tub, enjoyed the convenient fire place and grill, caught a fish or two in the lake and had a great time being so close to some beautiful trails! And oh so many naps on the comfortable porch bed swing. The stairs to the loft were not an issue for us or our dog either, but note that they are steep, so they could be an issue for smaller dogs or people with mobility issues. We would absolutely love to be back again in the future!

Lakefront - Mountain Views - Hot Tub - Fire Pit
Great place to hang out in a great town. Secluded, but everything you need is still pretty close by

Ridgecrest: Cozy Cabin & Stunning Mountain Sunsets
Definitely recommend & would stay again. Very cozy, very clean, very comfy. The place has a very beautiful scenery to it. Loved how peaceful & secluded it is. Easy instructions & rules.

Modern new cabin w/ hot tub and outdoor fireplace!
This was the cleanest, most well-thought-out Airbnb that I have ever stayed in. The pictures do not do it justice. The attention to detail was impressive. Everything was so clean, and you immediately felt at home. The host was so sweet and responded very quickly to questions about the area and nearby restaurants. I was so impressed with this place that I reached out to a friend who booked for a later date while I was there, and the host reached out to thank me. We are already planning our trip back to this beautiful cabin.

Fox & the Fawn - Tranquil Treetop Cabin w/ HotTub
The Fox and Fawn Cabin was absolutely perfect for the peace and quiet that my wife and I needed. The cabin had everything we need upon arrival and it was spotless. The cabin had all of the comforts of home, but provided an opportunity to unplug and spend quality celebrating our anniversary. The location was close to about 8 local wineries and downtown Elijay. We highly recommend Elijay Wood Fire Pizza, Downtown Elijay The Door (and share that you are there to "see a man about a horse"), Ott Vineyard for casual atmosphere, Roo for a more upscale vineyard experience. Anne (host) was amazing! We have a bad thunderstorm come through with some power issues. Anne was really communicative on resetting house items (fans, clocks, etc.) and showed concern for us and our experience. 10/10 would book with Anne again.

Mad Hatter Cottage ~ *Dark Whimsical Riverfront*
The Mad Hatter Cottage was beautiful! The swing in the back has an open screen so that you can hear the water running. The place was immaculately clean and there are so many fun decorations to discover in and outside the home. It’s also a very short and easy drive to town, maybe 10-15 minutes or so. It was worth every penny staying here and we will absolutely be coming back!

Modern Luxury A-Frame with Hot Tub
My wife and I selected the area of Ellijay for our honeymoon specifically because of Ted’s AirBnB! We were amazed by the style, decor, and feel of it! Every morning felt fun, light, and spacious and every evening felt private and intimate. What a perfect balance that was everything we could have asked for! On top of that, Ted was such an incredible host. Very kind and generous! We cannot wait to return to this spot time and time again!

Cozy Mountain Cabin - Amazing Creek!
This cabin is absolutely beautiful! The creek is gorgeous and pictures do not do it justice. I highly recommend the cabin.

RiverFront/Fenced/LOVEDogs/KingBeds/Sauna/Steam
We booked this cabin with another couple. Our four dogs fit perfectly! The cabin is beautiful with a gorgeous back deck overlooking the river. The kitchen is fully stocked for any cooking you’d like to do and it’s also very close to downtown Ellijay if you prefer to go out! We took our dogs on a hike one morning and the outdoor dog washing station was super handy to wash off muddy paws before getting inside. Would absolutely book again!!

Killer View | Hot tub | Cozy Charm | Easy Drive Up
We loved our stay at killer view cabin! I celebrated my birthday here with a few close friends and we all did not want to leave. The views were breathtaking and the cabin was so comfortable and had everything we needed! We hope to come back as it was truly a special stay. Jennifer was such a responsive and kind host too! 10/10 recommend!

Private Lake Access with Views, Canoes & Hot Tub!
This place is awesome! It’s nestled into a hillside along a stream with views of the lake through the trees. It’s located on a dead end road and you have to cross the bridge to access the property. I like that because I was able to let my dog off leash and I didn’t have to worry about her getting distracted by other dogs or people walking by. It seemed very private, even though they were neighbors close by. I enjoyed having my morning coffee either sitting in the bench on the creek or on the deck . Afternoons were great hanging in the hammock or walking down to the waterfall, which is about a 10 minute walk. We were celebrating our anniversary during our stay and we had a nice relaxing week at the property! We would like to return again soon.😊

Mountain Views | Hot Tub | Fire Pit | Close 2 Town
We stayed here for a weekend trip with friends. The view was great, the cabin was just as it was described and it was perfect for our trip. The host, Chelsea, was very responsive to any questions we had. We loved having the hot tub for the cool nights as well. We would definitely visit here again.

Beardsicle Bluff
We had a fantastic time here! Beautiful views, quiet, and comfy. This was a perfect place to spend our anniversary, and we will most likely return in the future!

Big Canoe upscale w/mnt views & hot tub
Absolutely incredible property! My family and I had a fantastic time. The property was immaculate and there was everything we needed and more! The photographs do not do it justice, breath-taking views and added bonus of games in the garage were perfect. We didn’t want to leave! Thank you to Ashley and Brad for a memorable holiday, one we will cherish forever!

Pet-Friendly Blue Ridge Cabin|Mtn Views|Hot Tub
Nothing but great things to say! Our host was super nice and responded quickly when we needed to communicate! The cabin is on the side of a mountain so you get beautiful views! With that being said I wouldn’t recommend driving at night if not used to driving mountain roads and the description of the road is accurate it’s a one way with some pull off areas for traversing. You don’t have to have 4 wheel drive during non winter season but there are people with cars that live there but we wouldn’t have felt comfortable to do that. The stairs to go up to the master bedroom are steep as she said but they have a non slip grip tape on each step and there are gates at every level for children/pets. The hot tub was so nice and was already up and running when we arrived. There were towels, dishes, some condiments, and a decent amount of kitchen utensils and such. Downtown blue ridge and ellijay are both pet friendly places! Amicalola state park is beautiful with an easy hike to the waterfall.

Wooden Yurt: Eco-farm Retreat at Kaluna Farm
Thank you so much Ben & Meghan for a wonderful stay at the yurt! It was my third time going, and my friends and i enjoyed it immensely! I appreciate your willingness to accommodate us the way you did!

The Toccoa Riverfront Cabin
Perfect location for our annual trout fishing trip.

Hillside Retreat
It was tranquil, and beautiful! It felt so good with the crisp mornings! The place was well decorated and the lot was secluded and calm!

Hot Tub, 3 Fireplaces, Mountain Views, Game Room
A wonderful place to get away for peace and tranquility. Very close to the best winery in the area as well as best orchard. Short drive to downtown Blue Ridge where all the action is but off the beaten path from the chaotic tourisim. Highly recommended!

Your guide to Ellijay
All About Ellijay
Located at the junction of the Ellijay and Cartecay rivers around 1.5 hours north of Atlanta, the small town of Ellijay is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Although considered a quiet mountain spot, Ellijay has a lively downtown area, with antique stores and outfitters where visitors come to gear up for adventures on the Appalachian Trail. It’s not uncommon to hear live music drifting out of one of the restaurants or bars.
While Ellijay’s historic downtown has much to offer, the town’s surroundings make it a popular place to visit. Georgia may be known for its juicy peaches, but Ellijay is celebrated for delicious apples, earning it the nickname Apple Capital of Georgia. In spring, the orchards are covered in apple blossoms, while fall offers many U-Pick opportunities, where you can wander through the rows of trees to choose the sweetest fruit. The calm flowing waters of the Ellijay and Cartecay rivers are popular for tubing and relaxing dips, while the Blue Ridge Mountains are a renowned hiking and biking destination, with miles of trails leading through the mature wooded areas up steep inclines to spectacular viewpoints.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Ellijay
Due to its slight elevation, the climate in Ellijay is generally mild compared to the weather in other Southern cities. Summers are warm without getting extremely hot, and winters tend to be cool rather than freezing. Although the weather tends to be fairly comfortable year-round, late spring and early fall are excellent times to stay at cabins in Ellijay, Georgia. Not only is the climate pleasant enough to explore the miles of hiking and biking trails, it is also a popular time for events and festivals in the area — like the Georgia Apple Festival, which is Ellijay’s largest annual event. During this popular October celebration of the fall season and the apple harvest, you’ll find live entertainment; apple pies, dumplings, and doughnuts; handmade crafts and gifts; and a parade.
Top things to do in Ellijay
Tabor House Museum

Amicalola Falls State Park
Just 25 minutes southeast of town lies Amicalola Falls State Park, best known for its 729-foot waterfall, the largest in Georgia. Hiking trails of varying difficulty lead to the top of the cascading falls and fan out across the 829-acre park, where you may spot white-tailed deer among dusky-pink mountain laurel.
Gilmer Arts Center
In downtown Ellijay, the Gilmer Arts Center showcases a variety of local art alongside music, dance, and art classes. You can learn to make jewelry, get the basics of sculpting, and enjoy live entertainment, from musical performances to a murder mystery dinner theater.
