Mountain Escape with Hot Tub | Game Room | Trails

Views, Hot Tub & Trails: Modern Ellijay Cottage

Ellijay Escape | Mountain Views, Hot Tub & Game Room

Slow mornings, long-range mountain views, and nights under the stars—settle into mountain time at our welcoming 2-bedroom, 2-bath Ellijay retreat, comfortably sleeping up to 6 guests. Tucked into the peaceful North Georgia mountains, it’s a place to spend time together, head out for an adventure, or happily do very little.

Take in the mountain views, let the afternoon drift by in the hammock, or explore nearby nature trails. Prepare your favorite meals in the fully equipped kitchen, then wind down your way: beside the cozy fireplace, around the fire pit swapping stories over s’mores, or soaking in the private hot tub beneath the stars.

Whether it’s a getaway for two, a family weekend, or a few days with friends, come for the mountain air and make yourself at home.

And when it’s time for some friendly competition, head to the spacious game room for ping pong, foosball, video games, classic Pac-Man, and a big-screen TV—plenty to keep everyone entertained, rain or shine.

This home has security cameras. On a pole on the hill in the front of the house.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Perfect mountain escape

We absolutely loved our stay here. The house was so comfy and cozy, the hot tub was great, and we spent a lot of time on the patio. The trail right next to the house was fun, we wondered a little off the path and found the stream and a little waterfall, pure bliss. Communication with host was excellent, they checked on us and made sure everything was going well. We will definitely be back.

Move Respite

We are moving to the area and needed a place to stay while our home is being finished. As stressful as a move can be our stay here at Olive Branch has given us the peace we needed during a crazy time. The place is beautiful and comfortable. The owners went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home!

This property was an A for us! One of the best VRBOs we’ve stayed in. The home was immaculate with a beautiful garden and view over the mountains. The kitchen was very well organized and stocked with everything we needed to cook in. The decor was attractive and the living area very light and bright with lots of windows. Our hosts were easy to contact and responsive. This property really does deserve the 5 of 5 stars we gave them!

Respite

We are building our forever home in the area and the build is taking much longer then expected. When our house sold in record time we need a place to stay in the interim. What a blessing Olive Branch has been. The house is beautiful, cozy and home like. The views are amazing and we enjoyed watching the deer in the evenings. Wonderful hosts - that checked in on us during a major storm and were available for any questions.
