Summary:

Dog-friendly, riverfront retreat with game room, washer/dryer, wraparound deck



The Space:

Wake to the sights and sounds of the river racing past right outside at this peaceful, wooded retreat located just seven miles from the heart of Ellijay. Kick back and relax at home or hop in the car and head out to discover a number of popular local attractions including several vineyards and wineries, multiple parks, and the public, 18-hole, Whitepath Golf Club. Don't forget your clubs!



Inside, discover sunlit living spaces set beneath soaring ceilings of knotty pine, a fun-filled game room with a full-size pool table, and a well-equipped, full kitchen ready to help you whip up family favorites. Enjoy meals together in the nearby dining room or head out the expansive, wraparound deck and indulge in an alfresco experience within view of the river.



After meals, play a few video games in the game room, bring a few board games to the dining table, or settle into the living area and stream all your favorite TV channels using your own accounts.



This home also includes a washer/dryer and central air-conditioning for warm summer days.
