Stay in Ellijay!
My family and I wanted a quiet, easy, fun getaway to celebrate my retirement from the military and take some time to relax. This place delivered. Great inground pool, deer in the yard with morning coffee and just a short drive town for meals. Pooles BBQ was fun and food was good, Cajun Depot Grill was great food! We enjoyed a Braves game, the GA aquarium and Zoo Atlanta during our stay and was all within a short hour to 1.5 hr drive down to the city. The property photos do a great job representing the inside. We will likely visit again as we loved the area and the stay was comfortable. Loved there was a pool and pets were not allowed.
