About Property

Discover Paws and Linger Retreat, a one-of-a-kind, octagon-shaped riverfront sanctuary tucked along the peaceful banks of the Ellijay River in Georgia. This hidden gem offers a rare balance of total seclusion and easy access to local charm, making it the ultimate destination for a romantic getaway, a relaxing spa weekend, or a remote work escape with a view.

Designed as a dog-first experience, this retreat is a true paradise for your furry companions. The property features a spacious fully fenced yard (riverfront side open for views), where pups can enjoy a doggy pool, elevated beds, crates, toys, and a dedicated treat station. To ensure a stress-free stay, the home is equipped with furniture covers, dog towels, and life jackets, and all breeds and sizes are welcome—dogs always stay for free because they are family.

The home features 2 bedrooms, 2 king beds, and 3 bathrooms, accommodating up to 4 guests. The main bedroom is a haven of comfort with a king-size bed, silky-soft linens, and blackout curtains for deep sleep. Adjacent to the bedroom is a dedicated office nook featuring a height-adjustable desk, monitor, and printer. Guests can unwind in the spa-inspired bathroom, which boasts a steam shower with LED mood lighting and Bluetooth audio.

The open-concept living area is warm and inviting, featuring leather recliners, a 65” Roku TV with a Sony soundbar, and a charming original Fisher wood-burning fireplace. The fully stocked smart kitchen includes new LG appliances, a coffee and tea station, and a bar area for mixing favorite drinks.

For ultimate wellness, the basement level houses a private oasis with an infrared sauna, yoga space, exercise bike, weights, and zero-gravity chairs. Outside, the back deck is perched literally above the river, where the soothing sounds of a man-made waterfall create a tranquil atmosphere.

Located just five minutes from downtown Ellijay, you are perfectly positioned to visit ROO Vineyard, Cress Creek Farm, and explore the scenic trails and wineries of the North Georgia mountains.
