Top Ellijay Hotel Reviews

Stratford Motor Inn East Ellijay

8/10 Good

"Older hotel with no breakfast but clean sheets and clean room. The refrigerator froze our items and then started leaking after we turned it down a bit. Great location and friendly staff. Parking right outside room. Could have used another hand towel but none available."

The Villas at Coosawattee River Resort

8/10 Good

"Peaceful and beautiful area, we enjoyed the river view from the porch! We had a visitor to our trash can one evening :-( Mountain road was very narrow and takes 15 minutes to get in/out the resort each trip, that was not our favorite parts of the stay. Overall we had a great time there."

Unique -Oliver Creek Cabin in Wilderness-PRIVATE-King Bed, WiFi, Hot Tub, Hiking

10/10 Excellent

"Had an amazing stay at Molly's cabin. Great communication and she was able to accommodate a few schedule changes prior to my stay. Cabin is just as it looks in pictures. Very remote, approx 2 miles down a dirt road. Kitchen is well appointed with everything you need, has gas bbq grill for outdoor cooking with all cooking utensils. Nice 2 person hot tub on the back porch and 2 firepits to enjoy. One next to the cabin and the other a short walk down next to the creek which was super peaceful, just don't do like me and go down there at night and let your phone die. That was fun walking out of the woods in the pitch dark. If I'm back in the area I would not hesitate to stay here again."

Dog friendly with a great view and fire pit! Hot tub!2 bed cabin

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderfully isolated cabin surrounded by forest with no one else in sight and still only 15 minutes to downtown Ellijay. Great communication from the host. Took our large dog and he enjoyed walking around the forest with us. Exactly the peaceful getaway we were looking for."
