Staying in Ellijay 

While spending Galentine’s Day with your friends, why not extend the weekend and spend the whole Friday or even Saturday night in Ellijay. You can rent a small log cabin deep within the mountains for a warm and cozy aesthetic. Or, there are an assortment of cottages to rent right in town if you are in search of something a little closer to the stores and restaurants! Whatever you want, Ellijay has it.
