About this property
Private Pool Suite —5 Min to Cartecay Tubing, Wineries & Wedding Venues!
Fully stocked coffee bar, complimentary drinks, snacks, and thoughtful extras throughout the suite. Most guests tell us the photos don ’t fully capture how comfortable and welcoming the space feels. Guests consistently say this feels less like a rental and more like coming home.
Welcome to your peaceful Ellijay retreat—a private, thoughtfully stocked suite where every detail is designed to help you relax, unwind, and feel genuinely taken care of.
Tucked into a quiet setting, this ground-level suite offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. You’ll feel away from it all while still being just minutes from local wineries, charming downtown Ellijay, nearby wedding venues, and the area’s famous apple orchards—Ellijay is known as the Apple Capital of Georgia. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend getaway, a special event, or a longer stay, everything here is set up to make your experience easy.
The suite features a comfortable queen bed for a restful night’s sleep, along with a cozy sitting area to unwind. The sectional converts into a full-size bed, with extra linens stored in the chaise lounge—ideal for couples, small families, or additional guests. A dedicated workspace is also available for those needing to stay connected.
One of the highlights is the fully stocked coffee bar, offering a variety of coffees, flavored options, teas, creamers, and local honeys. You’ll also find a snack bowl and a refrigerator stocked with soft drinks, bottled water, and juices—so you can settle in without needing to run out for the basics.
The kitchenette includes a microwave for quick meals and snacks. The bathroom is stocked with essentials plus thoughtful extras like toiletries, makeup remover wipes, and self-care items including bath salts and bath bombs.
For entertainment, enjoy two 55-inch TVs with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Disney+ included, along with high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the suite.
Guests love how easy everything is—from step-free access and parking right at the suite to private keypad entry. You’ll receive your personal door code the day before arrival for a smooth, stress-free check-in.

Right outside the suite, you’ll find a table that seats six—perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or relaxing outdoors. A grill is also available in this area for your use. Please be sure to move the grill away from the house when in use and clean the grill after you’re done enjoying your meal!
Guests are welcome to enjoy the pool during their stay. When exiting the suite, walk out to the driveway and follow it up toward the canopy—you’ll see the pool just beyond. Please do not turn right and walk up the grassy hill, as this is not the correct or safe path.

The place was wonderful.
It really was a great find, so appreciate they allow doggies.
We hope to return when we visit family again.
Lyndel and Steven were absolutely wonderful hosts. They were so sweet, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel right at home. Their beautiful basement suite was spotless, cozy, and had every amenity we could have possibly needed for our stay — they truly thought of everything.The space was peaceful, comfortable, and perfectly set up for a relaxing visit. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily stay here again.Highly recommend staying with Lyndel and Steven!

Thank you Carol and Barry for your kind words. We enjoyed having you in our suite and look forward to your next visit!
I can’t begin to describe how cozy and beautiful is this place! I went with my husband and 2 small dogs. It was the perfect place to get away (although we did some remote work). Our stay was perfect, the host provided everything I can think someone would need! The bedroom was super dark and quiet, we had the best sleep! The small living room is perfect to drink hot chocolate and watch movies. The location is so perfect, at night you can see so many starts! (we live in the city so this was a true gem!) Definitely recommend it! Oh and the scenic drives around make it even better!
This suite is beautifully decorated, yet cozy and comfortable. I’ve booked VRBOs and “others” for years, and I can truly say that these are the most thoughtful, generous hosts I’ve ever had… such nice people!! As a veteran nurse who deals with people on their worst days… every day… it was so refreshing to meet truly good, kind people!! Lyndel had snacks, cold drinks and water, and an activity book with markers, crayons and colored pencils for our preschooler… not to mention, the most amazing coffee bar I’ve ever seen.. anything you could possibly want!! I’m inspired to make my own coffee bar now!! The property is absolutely gorgeous!! Everything was spotlessly clean, and the bed was so comfy… and I’m a bit of a bed snob. We can’t wait to stay with Lyndel and Steven again!! Don’t hesitate on this one!!
This home looked even more beautiful in person! The festive décor made it feel so warm, cozy, and homey. You can really tell the hosts put a lot of love into making the space inviting!Everything was spotless, and there were thoughtful touches everywhere, from the comfy bedding to the well-stocked snacks and drinks.The environment was incredibly peaceful and quiet, perfect for relaxing and unwinding. Our host was so kind, friendly, and easy to talk to; we had a great chat, and she truly made us feel welcome and comfortable during our stay. We also knew all the best places in the area for activities, which helped so much! The hosts also responded quickly to each message, which let us know she truly cares about our stay!One small note for future guests: the home is located on a hill and the road is unpaved. My tires spun a bit going up the hill since I am not used to driving up a hill in which the start is unpaved. Just be prepared for that, especially if you’re arriving at night or in rainy weather, and you will be fine. Aside from that, everything was absolutely wonderful! I recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing getaway with a personal touch & friendly hosts!

Thank you Tendra for your wonderful words.
It was a complete joy getting to host you and your sweet mother. I’m honored that I had the opportunity to get to know you both.
I’m so happy that you both had a great time and got the chance to enjoy our suite and train ride!
We look forward to having you both back!
P.S. Let your mother know I got that luggage rack for her now!😉
About the host
Hosted by Lyndel Pollock
What I enjoy most about hosting is creating a space where people can truly relax and feel taken care of. I genuinely enjoy taking care of people and making sure guests feel comfortable from the moment they arrive, and I want everyone who stays here to feel like my home is their home.
I pay attention to the little details—things like a stocked coffee bar, snacks, and those extra touches—because I know they make a difference in how a stay feels.
I also enjoy meeting new people and hearing their stories, but I equally respect when guests just want a quiet, private stay. For me, it’s about giving people a place that feels easy, welcoming, and comfortable—whether they’re here for a quick getaway or a longer stay.
Why they chose this property
Our neighborhood is quiet, peaceful, and tucked into the North Georgia mountains, offering a true sense of calm and privacy. With only a handful of homes on the road, it’s not uncommon to feel like you have the whole area to yourself.
What we enjoy most is the slower pace and the natural surroundings—the kind of place where you can sit outside with your morning coffee, take a deep breath, and really unwind. It’s a great escape from the noise, while still being just a short drive to Ellijay’s downtown, wineries, and local attractions.
What makes this property unique
What really sets our property apart is the level of care and attention to detail that goes into every stay. Guests often mention how clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared the suite is, along with the little extras that make a big difference—like the fully stocked coffee bar, snacks, and a refrigerator ready with drinks.
We’ve designed the space to feel easy from the moment you arrive, whether you’re here for a quick getaway or a longer stay. It’s private, quiet, and convenient to everything in Ellijay, but still feels like a place where you can truly relax.
More than anything, we focus on creating a stay that feels welcoming, comfortable, and just a little above what guests expect—and that’s something our reviews consistently reflect.
