About this property
< 3 miles to Downtown, Hot tub and Firepit / Cabin
Less than 3 miles from Downtown Ellijay. Fast wifi & flat roads! "Stay Awhile" is where we swing on front porch swings, laugh in the screened porch & enjoy s'mores by the fire pit. It's all about relaxing & enjoying each other. The home is set up for small & big kids. Perfect location to go hiking, mountain biking, river tubing, shopping, site seeing, local wine tasting or to spend fall days picking apples at nearby orchards.

About the host
Hosted by Ashly Whitaker

We purchased "Stay Awhile" with the intentions of it becoming a long term rental for us. The more we came up to the house to work on it and get it ready the more we fell in love with it and Ellijay. It is the perfect place to get away and just relax. Its the small town that you can come to and have the door held open for you and meet a perfect stranger that would invite you on their porch for some sweet tea. We love to go hiking and tubing with the kids. If its an adult weekend the wineries are some of our favorite places to visit. We also can not go without stopping to get a bag of apples and apple chips from R& A Orchards or without treating ourselves to El Senor de los Raspados for shaved ice.
Why they chose this property
Our home is in a quiet neighborhood less than 3 miles from downtown. It is decorated to have a modern farmhouse feel. It is an open concept home which is perfect to enjoy the family all in one place.
What makes this property unique
Lots of outside seating. We have the front porch, fire pit area, a back porch and the screened in porch area.
