A cabin experience for the grandchildren

We came from Pennsylvania to stay with our son’s family from Woodstock. Very comfy for 4 children and 4 adults.! We loved the spa and fire pit. Our outing was to Hucks Lost Mine where they found lots of special gems and had fun identifying them.

Great and relaxing place to stay

Everything was as advertised. House was secluded and private and we had a great time. The kids loved the bunk bed room and we were pleasantly surprised by a king sized master bed. The fire pit and hot tub were nice as well. We definitely hope we get the chance to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Ashly Whitaker

Host profile image
We purchased "Stay Awhile" with the intentions of it becoming a long term rental for us. The more we came up to the house to work on it and get it ready the more we fell in love with it and Ellijay. It is the perfect place to get away and just relax. Its the small town that you can come to and have the door held open for you and meet a perfect stranger that would invite you on their porch for some sweet tea. We love to go hiking and tubing with the kids. If its an adult weekend the wineries are some of our favorite places to visit. We also can not go without stopping to get a bag of apples and apple chips from R& A Orchards or without treating ourselves to El Senor de los Raspados for shaved ice.

Why they chose this property

Our home is in a quiet neighborhood less than 3 miles from downtown. It is decorated to have a modern farmhouse feel. It is an open concept home which is perfect to enjoy the family all in one place.

What makes this property unique

Lots of outside seating. We have the front porch, fire pit area, a back porch and the screened in porch area.
