Family get away
The house was clean and quiet. It was easy to find the property, although the driveway was steep it was easy to drive up. Turning a large truck around was tricky, but doable. There are steps to go into the home, but not difficult once you have everything inside. The plates, utensils and glasses were all very nice. Some plastic dishes as well. We love to cook and would say the cookware needs to be updated. Looked as if other renters did not clean the cookware very well so it became scratched and grungy. Needed to put tinfoil down to use cookie sheets. Not a lot of cookware if you plan to cook in the oven. Only one dish, a cake pan. No knives for cutting, had to use a steak knife for prep. The coffee machine and waffle station were a nice added touch. A muffin tin would also have been nice and a large frying pan. If cooking isn’t important, then all would be great. We just like to cook as a family, so I always look for a well stocked kitchen. The home overall was beautiful and would stay there again.

Family vacation
Our family from FLA heads north for the winter to get away from the heat. We found this home exactly as described in the listing. Everyone in the group had their own room and plenty of space to separate. The hot tub was used in 22-degree weather and was much needed after a day hiking. We saw deer every day. My granddaughter looked forward to it every morning. Loved the location with paved road and close to town. Definitely would stay again.

Family getaway
We gathered for an early celebration of my birthday and our 50th Anniversary. Three of our daughters joined us fom SC, AZ and VA. We also were able to have our youngest daughter's godparents join us for Sunday dinner, as they live in Coosawatee. Nick is an awesome host who is very responsive.

Amenities Galore!
This property had everything you could imagine. They had games for adults, kids, and kids-at-heart. The kitchen was well-stocked and organized. They had everything labeled and provided more than the normal initial supply of paper and cleaning products. We were impressed with the coffee maker/keurig and espresso station, as well as, the waffle maker station. The kitchen table was long enough to sit our large family. The porch swing and rockers were very comfortable and relaxing for the adults and kids. We loved the hot tub, the fire pit, the patio, the everything! You definitely need to stay here for a relaxing and fun vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Nick Jackson

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Nick! I'm a pharmacist from the midwest but now reside in Sunny Miami Florida. My wife, Niki, is a Travel agent so traveling and exploring the world is a part of our everyday lifestyle. As well as providing the best life possible for our 2 golden retrievers, Ruby and Ellie. We love talking about Travel and spreading the joy it has given us throughout our life!

Why they chose this property

Living in Miami we love the weather but we often miss the different season. We stumbled across Ellijay on a road trip and fell in love with it. It has perks of a big city with plenty to see and do, but benefits of small town, quiet and peaceful. We love coming up for the fall to see the beautiful leaves and enjoy harvest season with the best apples we have ever had. We loved our time here so much we bought a place but can't stay here all the time so want to share it with as many people as possible and spread the joy of travel!!

What makes this property unique

Hillside Haven has many unique benefits. First of all it is a very large home with plenty of room for multiple families to share. Huge common area to cook diner and unwind with the family. Sitting on the front porch for sunrise and back porch for sunset through the forest is our favorite times of the day. It is so relaxing to enjoy some coffee or a glass of wine in nature. Also, the brand new converted game room downstairs with plenty of activities and the hot tub to unwind after a long day. Another huge perk is the location! Its located to the closest gates to all the attractions of the area (wineries, orchards, shopping, restaurants, you name it!). We are also uniquely situation that every road leading to our home is paved. So no need for any 4 wheel drive or heavy machinery :). This house has a little bit of everything and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
