Woodsy Retreat with Hot Tub + Fire Pit Near Wineries+Orchards+Downtown Ellijay

Welcome to Ivy’s Woodland Retreat—your private escape nestled on nearly two peaceful acres in the heart of Ellijay.

This thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2-bath mountain home blends rustic charm with modern comfort, making it the perfect getaway for girls’ weekends, bachelorettes, couples, or family trips.

Start your day slow with coffee on the front porch, relaxing in Adirondack rockers as you take in the lush greenery and quiet surroundings.

Spend your days exploring everything Ellijay has to offer—tubing, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, and boating nearby, or visiting local wineries and apple orchards just minutes away.

Evenings are made for gathering—head into downtown Ellijay (just 7 miles away) for dining and shopping, then return home to unwind:

- Soak in the peaceful setting around the outdoor fire pit
- Cozy up by the indoor wood-burning fireplace (wood provided seasonally)
- Enjoy game night with air hockey, wall-mounted Connect 4, and board games

Fall is truly magical here. Located in the Apple Capital of Georgia, you’ll be surrounded by vibrant foliage and just minutes from some of the area’s best apple orchards and seasonal experiences.

Whether you’re looking to relax, explore, or reconnect, Ivy’s Woodland Retreat offers the perfect balance of privacy, comfort, and unforgettable scenery.

Escape the everyday and experience Ellijay at its best.

A beautiful home and a great location. It was quiet and secluded and peaceful. One of the nice bonuses was the availability of a full-size garage to park in out of the rain. Even got to see a few deer prancing around the property.
