Pictures are accurate but don’t do the place justice. Absolutely gorgeous inside and out Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, toaster, coffee maker and plenty of pots and pans if you want to cook and eat in. Master bedroom has a king bed and a custom bathroom. The shower is a work of art!

Main floor has kitchen, dining area, living room with TV and fireplace, master bedroom with large bath & shower and another ½ bath. Wrap-around porch accessible from multiple rooms. Several rockers on the porch overlooking the lake, there’s a hammock and even an outdoor table with chairs if you want to eat outside with a gas grill.

Upstairs is a loft over the living area with 2 daybeds and a queen size bed. Downstairs is a large game room with a pool table, bedroom with a queen bed, a full bathroom with a tub/shower and Jack and Jill sinks. Full size stackable washer and dryer down here as well. Another wrap-around porch with a swing and the hot tub is located on this level.

We did day trips to Dahlonega to see the gold mine (Consolidated has underground tours), Blairsville to tour the old courthouse, Amicalola Falls where you can get close to the falls with an easy 1/3rd mile trail, Cartecay bike shop in historic downtown Ellijay where Dondi Fontenot helped get just the right rental bike AND who also took us on a slower paced ride. . Also visited Mercier orchards; store and bakery are totally worth the visit if you miss u-pick apple season (August). Also took a 2 day trip to Chattanooga for Ruby Falls, Rock City, Point Park and the Tennessee Aquarium. Blue Ridge is another town close by with lots of shops, restaurants and they have a 4 hour round-trip train ride that takes you through scenic areas along the water (reservations). My husband HAD to rent a jet ski from Boundary Waters Marina to ride at the lake you can see from the porch. Last but certainly not least for the gambler in the family; Harrah’s in Cherokee is 90 minutes away. In town, water runs along the roadway with LOTS of rocks for the kids to play on. A pair of $10 water shoes and a towel are the best cheap entertainment for kids of all ages.

Bottom line, you will run out of time long before you run out of things to do near this home. Coming to relax? You can easily spend days just at the house. There are also 2 movie theaters within a 15 minute drive west on 76 that both showed new release films. Make your reservation, pack your bags, stop at the Ingles grocery store and head on up!
