⭐️ Fully fenced for small & large dogs
⭐️ 2 King size beds for ultimate comfort
⭐️ No pet fees - all breeds & sizes welcome
⭐️ 1.6 acres with wild mint (spring & summer magic!)
⭐️ Peaceful mountain views & abundant wildlife

Welcome to Shepherd’s Run – where dogs aren’t just allowed… they’re celebrated.
Tucked away on 1.6 private acres just minutes from Downtown Ellijay, this fully renovated 1940s cottage blends rustic charm with modern comfort—creating a relaxed, dog-first retreat surrounded by open pastures, mountain views, and nature at its best. In spring and summer, wild peppermint blankets the grounds, filling the air with a fresh, calming scent you won’t forget.

A true paradise for your dogs (and just as special for you):
Your furry companions will have the time of their lives with two fully fenced play areas. One is designed for fun and exploration—complete with a fire pit, agility-style seesaw, three truck tires, a “sniffari” path with natural textures, balls of all sizes, and a giant sandbox for digging. There’s even a doggy pool (stored under the deck) for warmer days.

Whether they love to run, sniff, dig, or simply lounge in the sun—this space was created with them in mind.

Inside the cabin:
This cozy 800 sq ft cottage has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its original character. You’ll find:

✔️Two comfortable king-size beds
✔️Nightstands with built-in charging ports
✔️A warm, inviting living space with a leather sofa, soft blankets, and an electric fireplace
✔️A larger Roku TV with soundbar for movie nights
✔️Custom kitchen with everything you need, including a dishwasher and butcher block dining table with seating for four

Dogs are welcome on furniture (we provide covers), so everyone can relax together—just like at home.

Thoughtful dog-friendly touches throughout:

✔️Multiple crates (living room + second bedroom)
✔️Feeding stations and supplies
✔️Easy access to fenced outdoor areas
✔️Safe, gated back porch with stairs leading to an additional fenced section

Location, location, location:
Conveniently located just off Old Highway 5, you’re only minutes from Downtown Ellijay (shops, restaurants, and local charm), Wineries, hiking trails, and outdoor adventures, Grocery stores and essentials and you can even walk to the famous Georgia Apple Festival in October!

A little history:
Shepherd’s Run was once a free-range mini farm, home to chickens, roosters, bunnies, and more. Since purchasing the property in 2022, we’ve lovingly transformed it into the peaceful retreat it is today—while keeping its warm, welcoming spirit alive (and yes, the red roof and doors reflect that energy perfectly).

Good to know before booking - The bathroom is shared and accessible through the main bedroom only!!

Guests have access to the entire home except a locked storage cabinet and crawlspace

About Ellijay:
Known as Georgia’s “Apple Capital,” Ellijay offers the perfect mix of outdoor adventure and small-town charm. From apple orchards and farmers markets to hiking, tubing, vineyards, and scenic drives—there’s always something to explore.

Come unwind, explore, and linger a little longer—your dogs will thank you for it. 🐾

We had an excellent time here. Andrea was very responsive and we had no issues with the reservation. The cabin had everything we needed and my two dogs loved playing in the backyard. I would recommend to anyone looking to get away with their pups. Thank you for allowing us to stay here and make great memories.

Outstanding Property in GA Mountains to go with your Pet

This wonderful and cozy property exceeded all expectations. Very pet friendly and the home has everything needed to immediately feel at home for both the humans and their pets. The owner was outstanding and responsive to every need, including delivering wood for the fire ring personally on Thanksgiving day! Every pet need facilitated including dishes, toys, large fenced yard, leashes, etc. Close to Ellijay attractions and downtown, also great hiking and local adventures. Will be our first choice when returning to the area.

We absolutely loved the stay

The cabin was perfect for a weekend getaway. We took our two large dogs and we all had a lovely and relaxing time. We didn’t realize that the weekend we went was also the Apple festival weekend so there were a lot of things to do around the area. It was so nice to stay on a property that catered to dogs. They had a pet first aid kit, blankets, towels, leashes, etc. Anything you might need for your furry friend, it was there. The fenced in enclosure was really large, a lot larger than our own backyard space. The fire pit was the perfect thing to the end of the day on a chilly night. The only thing I noticed was there were several poop spots from previous stays that we had to pick up so our dogs wouldn’t get into them
