Moonshine Memories was better than the photos! The views were spectacular and you can tell that Sara took much care and attention to every detail of this rental. All of the finishes were high end. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were spotless and well-appointed. The kitchen was stocked with fresh, new kitchen essentials. We loved the outdoor porch and fireplace, and the peaceful setting made it hard to even want to leave the property. We also loved reading the history of the house and seeing the construction photos. It was really neat to see the original chimney and how they kept it intact, converting it to an additional space for family gatherings. Of course, the kids loved the game room with its arcade games, bunk beds and direct access to the hot tub! We really couldn’t think of anything we would change! It was pretty much perfect.

Our family with 8 adults and 3 very young kids had a blast making memories here. The toddlers loved playing outside and the addition of the fence around the property gave us peace of mind while they did. Absolutely stunning view and the home was exactly as described. You won’t be disappointed staying here. Sara was very responsive and even let us check in almost an hour early.

We loved our stay here. The fenced in backyard was great for the kids to run around. While still having a beautiful view. The house itself was spotless, and beautifully decorated. We were both 15/20 minutes from downtown Ellijay.
