We all enjoyed our stay. We really enjoyed the pool & pool house. It was nice having other activities available for the kids to play with when they were not in the pool. It was really beneficial to be so close to town that we could go grocery shopping whenever we needed to. Thanks for the use of such a beautiful home.

Amazing stay!
This house is amazing! They have thought of every detail. The pool and cabana are great and perfect for all ages. They have a refrigerator and smoker in the pool area which was really nice. The putting green and outdoor fire pit was great with the family. All the beds are really comfortable and everything just so clean. All rooms have a nice bathroom with them which was great for our big family. The kitchen is stocked with literally everything. Can’t say enough good things about the house and communication with the owners.

So Clean and Welcoming!
Had a golf weekend with friends and thoroughly enjoyed the house - spotlessly clean and plenty of bedrooms/bathrooms for all the couples. Owners stayed in contact and were super helpful in finding a pair of eye glasses that were accidentally left there and made it so easy for us to pick them up. Definitely recommend.

A tranquil retreat
Our team recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming house in the woods. Our experience exceeded all expectations. Tucked away in a serene neighborhood, this hidden gem offered a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and tranquility. Upon arrival, we were immediately captivated by the exterior's picturesque charm. The property was meticulously maintained, surrounded by lush greenery that provided a sense of privacy and seclusion. The ample parking space ensured a stress-free start to our retreat. Entering the house, we were greeted by a lovey interior that was cozy and warm. It was tastefully decorated and made us feel right at home. The large windows allowed natural light to flood the rooms, enhancing the overall brightness and openness. The kitchen was well equipped and stocked with all the essentials for preparing home-cooked meals. The thoughtful touches, such as local honey added a personal touch along with the multiple coffee-pot options. An additional standout feature of this home were the outdoor spaces. The well-maintained patios provided a perfect setting for morning coffees and evening relaxation. Communication with the property owner was seamless, and they were quick to address any questions I had. Attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction were evident throughout our stay. In terms of location, the VRBO was ideally situated. It was one of the easiest places to find and get to from Atlanta while still being off the beaten path.

Friends getaway!
Another great Friends getaway in the books and Southern Ridge Manor did not disappoint. We were full capacity, 7 couples, but we did not feel crowded. Several outdoor spaces to spread out. In the evenings the men enjoyed the outdoor fire pit while us Ladies chatted around the gas fire pit on the first floor. The cabin was clean & well equipped with everything we needed. The location was great, just a short distance from downtown Ellijay and Blue Ridge. Jodi was a gracious host and was quick to respond to all our questions & request. Great place to stay & highly recommended!

Absolutely perfect for our Out Of Town family in Blue Ridge for a wedding
Our youngest daughter was getting married at Inola in Blue Ridge (wonderful venue) and I wanted a place that could house all of our family flying in from Michigan. We had 12 in total (Dads, Grandmothers, Aunts and Uncles, Cousins) and the seven bedrooms (6 with private bath) gave each their own space in which to retreat. When we weren't engaged in wedding, work/fun, we enjoyed meals around the dining table, watching football, and relaxing in the living room, out on the main deck, or around the fire pit (very popular each night). The house was very clean with modern amenities (including two coffee makers (k-cup and brew with grinder...we're coffee freaks), and well stocked (from the firewood provided to the scented hand soap in the bathrooms (my mother is tracking it down)). The hosts were great! Jodi was on top of everything leading up to the long weekend and our stay was just what I'd hoped it would be...rare family time for us all to relax under one roof. Add in the fall colors in the GA mountains, and it was a fantastic weekend. Thanks again, Jodi and Steve. We really enjoyed ourselves!

Wonderful time in Blue Rudge!
Many special thanks to Jodi and Steve for a wonderful family vacation in their beautiful, well kept house, in the mountains of Blue Ridge Georgia. We enjoyed cooking and preparing meals because we found everything we needed in the kitchen. The bedrooms were very cozy with very comfortable beds. Having a bathroom in each bedroom was a favorite part of our accommodations! Every family member gave that factor an A+! Jodi was delightful and was always accommodating! We, also, enjoyed the location because it was close to Ingles grocery store, which came in handy, as well as a few restaurants and several attractions, including a fun art show over the weekend. We loved our visit and when we are looking for a rental in that area again we will definitely call Jodi and Steve again!
