A place built for slow mornings and quiet evenings, with the forest as the backdrop.

ARRIVAL & FIRST IMPRESSIONS
The home opens into a layout that balances connection and solitude effortlessly, with open living spaces and a wrap-around deck that brings the surrounding forest views close from nearly every room. High vaulted ceilings in the main living area set an open, airy tone from the moment you step inside.

THE LIVING SPACES
The main living room is anchored by a 70" smart TV, a large plush sofa, and an indoor fireplace, with high vaulted ceilings overhead. It's a quiet, considered space built for shared meals and evening conversation over a glass of wine.

THE KITCHEN
The kitchen is fully stocked and built for real cooking — high-end stainless appliances, a large island with high seating, and a genuinely thorough coffee setup with drip, Keurig, and French press all on hand.

THE SUITES
The home offers four bedrooms sleeping up to 8 guests across three levels.

Bedroom 1 (Main Level): King bed, private ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower
Bedroom 2 (Upper Level): King bed, Jack & Jill bathroom shared with Bedroom 3
Bedroom 3 (Upper Level): King bed, Jack & Jill bathroom shared with Bedroom 2
Bedroom 4 (Lower Level): King bed, private ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower

Each level offers its own bedroom and bathroom arrangement, giving the group a genuine sense of privacy whether traveling as couples or close friends.

ENTERTAINMENT
The game room offers a wet bar, pool table, poker table, and a lounging area with its own smart TV and indoor fireplace — a distinct, moodier space for the evening separate from the main living room.

YOUR PRIVATE GROUNDS
The hot tub and fire pit anchor the outdoor space, with a covered deck offering its own outdoor fireplace for evenings when the air turns cool. A hammock and outdoor patio with BBQ grill round out a setting built for slow mornings and quiet evenings alike.

THE SURROUNDING AREA
Downtown Ellijay is a short drive for boutique shopping, coffee shops, and local eateries, and the Cartecay River offers tubing, kayaking, and riverside picnics close by. Roo Mountain Vineyards and Cartecay Vineyards both bring North Georgia's wine country to the doorstep, and B.J. Reece Orchards is a seasonal favorite for apple picking and farm fun. For dinner, The Butcher and Bottle offers upscale comfort food with live music, and The Roof Ellijay brings rooftop dining with mountain views — with Cantaberry, Back Porch Bistro, and The Shack of Ellijay rounding out a strong set of more casual local options.
