About the host
Hosted by Rich Allen
We are from Chattanooga and have visited the Ellijay area many times, and enjoyed hiking, fishing, and relaxing wine tastings at many wineries across North Georgia. We wanted to have a home base for exploration in the area, and this cottage ticked all our boxes.
We enjoy entertaining and ensuring that our guests can focus on themselves during their time away. We want you to fall in love with this home just like we have over the past years.

Why they chose this property
We enjoy the quaintness of the area and flatter geography of this particular corner of Ellijay. Many times, for better or worse, a home in this part of Georgia is built on the side of the mountain, with very little usable outdoor space. We love that it's easy to get around on this property, and that the creek is so close to the back porch. The rushing, burbling sounds of the creek fill the porch and living room of the home, and provide such a relaxing setting for our guests.
What makes this property unique
Our goal was to provide a space that was unique for this area. If you are looking for a standard cabin with a yellow pine interior and an abundance of rustic log based furniture, you have got lots of options in Ellijay! If you are looking for a quaint, tastefully decorated cottage on the banks of a mountain creek, this is your spot. Enjoy.
