About the host
Hosted by Jill LaRoche
My husband and are super passionate about traveling and being hosts to our properties. It's as important to us that you enjoy our place as much as we do! We have rentals in Ellijay, Bullhead City Arizona along with San Felipe Baja California on the Sea of Cortez.. Please see our listings and hopefully we can host you at our other places too!
Why they chose this property
Ellijay is the little slower, little quieter then most towns. You have more chance to see everything here then getting consumed in a big city. Why not Ellijay, it's amazing here! We fell in love with this sweet little cabin at first sight. I love that it's tiny but so roomy at the same time. We feel so relaxed and comfortable here.
What makes this property unique
So much room to run around in the open property.. Place a game of horseshoes, badminton or just sit by the fire & knowing your dogs are safe in the fenced back yard is a huge bonus!.. You feel so far away from everything yet only 15 minutes from town.
