Stay in Downtown Ellijay with Ellijay River House
Nestled along the Ellijay River and steps from downtown, Ellijay River House offers a luxury, adults-only stay in the heart of Ellijay, only 90 minutes from Atlanta. Whether you’re visiting for a special occasion or a relaxing getaway, explore local shops, restaurants, wineries, and outdoor recreation before returning to a peaceful riverside setting.
A Riverside Retreat in Downtown Ellijay
Built in 1915 by local businessman Mr. C. B. Kelley, this Craftsman home features four guest rooms, each with its own private bathroom: The Retreat, The Magnolia, Three Rivers, and Wild Flower. Because of its downtown location and popularity for special occasions, advance booking is recommended, especially during peak seasons (July and October) and for weddings or retreats.
Mornings at Ellijay River House begin with a luxurious breakfast created by the property’s owner, Tram, a gourmet chef. Guests can expect freshly prepared, high-quality meals served hot. For snacks or charcuterie boards to take along to a local winery or park, guests can also stop by Mountain View Artisanal on the Square for convenient grab-and-go options.
