House rentals in Ellijay

Quiet and cozy home on 10 rolling acres
Elizabeth is the host you dream about. She made everything so easy for us… from directions & check-in to great restaurant and winery recommendations . The house is charming and has everything you need to make yourself at home. But the best part of our trip was relaxing on the back porch with a beautiful view of the pasture, watching deer, wild turkeys and blue birds nesting nearby.

Pondside Porch House
I’m tempted to write a bad review so more dates will be available when I’m ready to come back. This was our 2nd visit and it was great again. So much to do without leaving the house. Fishing, kayaking, volleyball, badminton, ping pong, foosball, fire pit, board games, etc. Great price too! The only problem this time was that the WiFi was a bit spotty, even after a couple resets. Probably for the best though! Looking forward to our next visit soon hopefully.

Family Fun 5 bedroom cabin
Nicks place exceeded our expectations. We had a blast and had plenty of room for our guys motorcycle trip. I would definitely rent again.

Big Canoe upscale w/mnt views & hot tub
This was the second time we have stayed at Ashley and Brads beautiful home. We came back for a reason! The home offers lots of space, is well furnished, and they have thought of everything you need for a great place to relax. They are great host!

Woodridge Mountain Home on 50+ acres
We loved being able to travel with our dogs. The backyard was beautiful we enjoyed sitting on the deck as well as letting the dogs run free in the woods in the back! She was very responsive and a great host.

Intimate, secluded small cottage in North GA Mtn
Great location! Small cozy guest house. Parking spot was tight for our large 2500 but we made it work. Recommendations were great.

Waterfront 3 bedroom cottage in the woods.
We really enjoyed our stay. From kayaking to sipping coffee on the back porch, it was great. The beds were so comfy, and the kitchen was stocked with all the needs to make it easy to enjoy a cooked meal. We will return!

Sneffles/Luxury King Cabin Creekside Cottage
The Creekside Cottage was very peaceful and pretty! Rochelle was easy to get in touch with. The creek behind the cottage was beautiful to sit by. The kitchen was well stocked and the sweet little snacks were a great bonus! We felt very comfortable and would definitely recommend!!

Scenic Solitude: Endless Views, Cabin, Spa, porch!
Every thing I was looking for! An entire cabin with all modern appliances, fireplace, fenced in porch and spacious bedroom. The cabin is located in a very secluded area in the woods, offering so much privacy and seclusion. I enjoyed the mountain views as I relaxed in the hot tub.

Ole Mexico
Upon arrival was great considering i had to come to check in late at night with no problems. Very simple straightforward directions to location. Location was very clean, homey, and cozy. Has a nice back porch to enjoy outside air with seatings which is a plus. We were able to cook meals, watch movies, make desserts, and sleep in a comfortable bed! Me and my girlfriend loved this place so much and exceeding our original expectations.

European Villa with extraordinary view
This was honestly our best airbnb stay to date! The villa is beautiful and view is unmatched. We loved the pool and the fantastic kitchen.

Bird Dog Lodge. Fire pit & hot tub. Dog friendly!
We had a great stay at the Bird Dog Lodge! The cabin itself had everything we needed and was in excellent condition. I enjoyed drinking the complimentary coffee while sitting on one of the screened porches. Wildlife was plentiful and the sound of the river below made for a peaceful backdrop for naps on the comfy outdoor couch! The roads to the cabin are curvy mountain roads so take Dramamine if you get car sick easily. We enjoyed spending time at the cabin as well as exploring all the areas of the Coosawatee River Resort. There is plenty to do other than relaxing and enjoying the scenery. Our girls loved seeing all the deer! The indoor heated pool was a perfect activity for the cool early mornings and then we spent our afternoons exploring the different parks and fishing spots. It takes 15-20 minutes to get back into town so we did a grocery pickup prior to arrival and that was super helpful. We would definitely stay here again!

Beardsicle Bluff
This was our second time staying at Kerri and Steven’s place! The last time was me and my partner’s anniversary in 2023, and they decorated for us and left us treats. This time we were just going for a little staycation, and it was perfect of course. The bed is extremely comfortable and huge! We like that the TV can basically be seen from anywhere in the living room too! we sat out on the deck when the UV was high and got some sun with a view! So nice :)) Thankyou for hosting us again!

A Simple Pleasure Cabin
The cabin and surroundings are fantastic. This is a lovely place and very peaceful and relaxing setting. The house and everything were in excellent order. The hosts could not be more accommodating. We enjoyed it very much and will return.

Knapp Thyme | Dog Friendly | Hot Tub & Fire Pit
My husband and enjoyed staying at the Knapp Thyme cabin. It was very clean and tastefully decorated. It felt like our home away from home! The kitchen was stocked with most anything that you would need to cook. Having the accessible ramp was so nice and the step-in shower! We did not have to climb any stairs to get to the cabin. We really enjoyed the hot tub. It was so relaxing to soak in the hot tub each afternoon/ evening when we returned home from our adventures. Our dog, Zeus enjoyed his time hanging out with us on the covered porch while we cooked our dinner on the grill and he enjoyed relaxing on the floor, in his little bed, while we relaxed watching tv on the comfy couch in the living room. We look forward to another visit soon!

Couples Getaway with Hot Tub, Fire Pit & Grill
Loved the cabin! Location was great - about 10 minutes from Blue Ridge. The screened deck with gas grill and patio heater made hanging outside nice even though it was raining pretty much the whole time we were there. View from the house was beautiful, and sound of the brook behind the house was very relaxing. We were able to end the evenings relaxing in the hot tub...Great place to get away and have some much needed relaxation. We would definitely rent from Ronnetta again! :)

Mountain Side Cabin with Hot Tub and Fire Pit
Beautiful location and home! Thanks so much for accommodating us. Wonderful host and highly recommended!

Stunning View, Pool Table, Hot Tub, 20 min to BR
Cozy cabin in the woods - close enough to Blue Ridge town for shopping or restaurants. The board games and pool table were a big hit on the rainy days. I loved the porch swing - beautiful sunrise view!

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.

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.
