Best Stay in Ellijay!!!!

This little retreat in Ellijay, Georgia was the best we have stayed in. The layout of the house, the comfort of the beds, the location to the trout streams, and the fun that you can have on the creek. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and our time together. Thank you to our wonderful host and we hope to be back next year.

Peace Away From Home

My family and I stayed here for New Years and had an amazing time. The house is perfect and has lots of privacy for different families staying together. The property is beautiful and we spent most of our time outside enjoying the fresh mountain air. We can’t wait to come back!

Could use a little landscaping but the set up it perfect.

Very spacious and laid out well. Very clean and plenty of room to stay in and play games or go sit around the fire pit or take a short walk around. Our family loved it

Nothing like it

Plenty of space for eating, hanging out, and for everyone to get a good night’s rest. The house is obviously one of a kind but its also very comfortable and well maintained. The weather was gorgeous, perfectly shady and sunny property!

Trout camp house

Took my son and friends for a quick get away. We were looking for nature, fishing and relaxing and that’s just what we had. Try to get there before dark if possible. Stayed 3 nights. Full day on property and full day exploring Ellajay and Blue Ridge. Cooked most meals there and late lunch in Ellajay one day. Teens loved the hot tub and exploring through the creek. Fishing and stream tromping.. we hope to stay again.

Family Fun

We had everything we needed. There were plenty of bedrooms with comfortable beds, a pool table, spacious living areas and gorgeous views from the back and front of house. Outside there was a swing, hot tub, firepit, water to play in and rocks to climb on for fun. We will never forget the fun we had at this beautiful and amazing house.

3rd time here, still great

The owners have really kept the property up, and are always very easy to work with. It's such a unique place. It's rare to find a location with 6 bedrooms, a fire pit, big kitchen, tons of space, AND a creek. Very private yet very open. We will be back again for sure.

Absolutely Beautiful Pictures cannot describe

The house and property are one of a kind. When you turn the corner and head up the drive you are just blown away. The kids loved floating and playing in the creek. The fireflies provided a nightly show that blended from high in the trees to the beautiful stars in the sky. Accurately described and owners have great communication. The house seemed to have everything we needed. Perfect location.

Clean, beautiful property

By far the cleanest and most well kept vacation home we have ever stayed in. The pictures do not do it justice. The property was gorgeous especially after it snowed! Great place for some family photos! Such a peaceful area to enjoy some family time. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals. We did not have any cell service in the house and the WiFi only worked in the living room and master bedroom for us. They do have a landline phone and WiFi calling also worked well in the living room.

A very unique property

We enjoyed our stay at this property for several reasons. There were many things to do without ever leaving the property. The creek/stream was fun to play in for all ages, the hot tub was enjoyed by many, we had a great time grilling hot dogs and making S'Mores at the firepit. There was plenty of room to enjoy TV , play pool, and other games. The house was located in a rural area, but we found Blue Ridge close by and enjoyed the shops and restaurants there. There were tubing opportunities on the nearby river, and we ventured in to Atlanta one day which was about a 90 minute drive.

4th of July Family Fun

This was our second visit to “A River Runs Through It”. This place is a gem for anyone looking to enjoy fishing in the creek on property. Our kids loved tubing right in front of the house. The peaceful surroundings provided the perfect backdrop for relaxation and outdoor activities. The property was immaculately clean and incredibly spacious, offering plenty of room for our group to spread out and feel comfortable. The hosts clearly take great care in maintaining the place, ensuring that every detail contributes to a wonderful stay. We had a great time tubing at Cartecay River Experience about 15 minutes from the house. Quick trips to downtown Ellijay and Blue Ridge were lots of fun. We can’t wait to come back again!!! Highly recommended!

Loved it !!!

Everything about this place screams relax and enjoy yourself. We would have never left the site to see anything except we had already had plans. We all felt we could have stayed there the whole time and been in a piece of paradise. The place is so homey and with 12 people you never felt like you were crowded at all. This place brings people together. The tv never was turned on at all the pool table and the river kept us all together as a family/friends and everyone enjoyed absolutely everything….we are ready to book again. Thank you!!!

Best creek ever!!!

The location of the house and the creek was perfect. But !!! The house was hot during the day and when I set the thermostat to 69 they ( all of them) would go back up to 71. I like it cool so we weren’t happy with that. The stay was made great by having the creek on site. Also on the drive to the house I received an email/ contact I had to fill out. Didn’t care for that either. Ivy not had to do that before with VRBO . Thank you

Great family destination!

My family of 11 ranging in age from 58 to 2 years old recently stayed at this delightful home! It was perfect for everyone, and there was more than enough space. The kids could use one living area to have their dolls and cars, while the adults could watch football and play pool - and not be too far away! The kitchen was very spacious and plenty of seating for everyone. If you have young children, don't let the stream in front of the house concern you - of course you need to be out with the children, but the water is not deep, and our kids really enjoyed exploring it and trying to fish! There were places to go with the kids within 15 minutes, so not an extended amount of time in the car. If you are looking for a great family place this is it. We are already planning our next trip. Don't let the very few negative reviews concern you - this place is a jewel!

Amazing Memories at the Creek House

We had a family vacation with 6 adults and 6 kids ranging from 2-9 yrs old. We had such a great time, the kids played in the creek, caught crawdads and some small trout and slide down the rock in front of the bridge, the hot tub was really nice and the whole property is just so unique and fun to look at, little stone paths through the moss and lots of different woods and materials throughout the house. We also enjoyed playing a couple games of pool each day in the living room We also had 2 exploring trips. We went to Amicalola Falls and hiked up and then went to the lodge which has an amazing view and a cool spot to sit and rest before hiking back down We also did a kayaking / tubing trip down the Cartecay which was a lot of fun but the rapids were probably a little much for our younger kiddos, It was perfect for our kids who were about 5 and up though and we had a really great adventure - Blackberry Falls at the end was a lot fun to go down in the tubes and you can climb up the rocks and go down as many times as you want Awesome spot, I hope we can come again someday
