Modern home w/ year-round mountain view, private 17ac, near orchards & vineyards

Drive up a well-maintained road (any car can make it!) to our home away from home. Start your morning with a cup of coffee in the rocking chair with a view to inspire you. Find your peace on 17 acres of private forest--or drive to the nearby orchards (10min), vineyards (15min), trails (20min), and the quaint towns of Ellijay and Blue Ridge (25min, 35min). Then enjoy the distant sound of Ralston Creek as you cozy up by the outdoor fireplace. And at the end of the day, fall asleep watching fireflies dance over the silhouette of Stover Mountain.

Accompanying the private bedrooms is a large loft--a living space unto itself, complete with TV, sofa, mini fridge, and double bed. If you have to make that last-minute virtual meeting, we have true high speed internet (Starlink). Laundry available, hot tub in the cool months (ask about availability), gas grill outside and gas stove inside. Outdoor fireplace is wood burning (we'll leave a starter stack), but inside you can just click a button and warm up with the gas fireplace.

This is my home away from home, and I hope that it can be that for you too! My family has poured a lot of love into making this place beautiful, inviting, relaxing, and carefree.

A few notes:
- This is a rural area, which I assume is what you're looking for! That said, while the house has regular pest control, being in the woods means there will be all sorts of wildlife!
- As shown in the photos, the stairs to the loft are somewhat steep. So care is required with younger children (and adults too!)
- The road in might be intimidating, but rest assured its regularly traversed by the smallest of sedans. Just take your time; it's a short stretch!

Best place for relaxing!
We spent 3 days of our mini honeymoon here and it was amazing! Very clean, host was responsive and friendly. We felt like a guest in a home thanks to all the little extras like robes, flip flops, food condiments and more! Very clean and comfortable. Thanks Michael for sharing your piece of heaven with us!

Lovely views, private location
It was very clean, not on the beaten path but a short drive from town. We loved the privacy and it was quiet and restful. Lovely views, and loved eating meals surrounded by windows. Was perfect for our few-days getaway.

One of the best places we have stayed. Clean with a great view. Owner was very accessible. Love the rural setting that is 15-20 mins from the places we wanted to visit.

Very pleasant stay
We stayed at this home for 2 weeks. The house is very well equipped, clean, and everything worked. The house is at the top of a hill off a steep paved entrance drive, then gravel. Before going up or down, pause and take a look to make sure no one else is on it! There are only a few other homes that use the same entrance road so it was very quiet during our stay. The home is about 14 miles east of Ellijay, so in a nice central location for visiting several of the nearby waterfalls.

Family get away
This property is spectacular! It was nested among the mountains and in a very quiet area! It was a great weekend getaway from phones , etc. There was, however, great cell service. The outdoor area was great for grilling and chilling! The fireplace outside was a plus on the cold nights!! And the stars!! Wow! We enjoyed our visit to the quaint town of Ellijay. Reeves cider co was also a hit. We even headed to Helen for one day and hiked a few waterfalls! Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise! The Hatcher’s

Beautiful home with all we needed and wanted
I’ve stayed in many VRBO properties in North American and this is one of, if not the best overall. It is beautifully decorated, spacious, extremely well stocked, and was a wonderful get away for the three of us in Elijay for a family event. I was concerned about getting up and down the loft ladder and had no issues at all. The bed in the loft was comfortable as was the big sectional. The house is on a large, private property with lovely views. If you want something remote and extremely quiet, this is it. Communication from the owner was clear and timely.

Amazing Gem!
We were so excited to stay at this property because of the modern features and location. The place had all we needed for a great stay! We took ample advantage of the hot tub and outside fireplace where talked and decompressed. The host was amazing and we will certainly be back for the next decompression trip from Atlanta!
