Our Spaces

Experience an architectural marvel that brings you closer to the wild. Our glass bungalows are designed to immerse you in the landscape, offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding mountains and forest. Every detail is crafted to harmonize with the environment, allowing you to wake up to panoramic vistas and drift off to sleep beneath the stars. It’s a stay that redefines your connection to the world around you, without compromising on modern comfort.

Each bungalow offers a sanctuary of calm, with a bathroom crowned by a glass ceiling, inviting the sky to join your moments of quiet reflection. The fully appointed kitchen allows every meal to be effortlessly savored, as if the day unfolds without hurry. Outside, a fixed cantilevered hammock, gracefully suspended on the edge of your porch, provides the perfect perch to take in the endless views, as time slows and the world feels distant. As dusk falls, immerse yourself in the warmth of your private dipping pool/hot tub, where the glow of the stars reflects on the water, and the night wraps you in its tranquil embrace.

OUR LOCATION

Spread across 60 breathtaking acres of North Georgia’s rolling hills, VAYHAUS Ellijay is more than a retreat—it’s a gateway to something extraordinary. Here, every moment is an opportunity to connect with the untamed beauty around you and rediscover the joy of truly living.

Glide effortlessly in your personal golf cart as you navigate winding paths through a landscape alive with possibility. Each turn reveals a scene that feels straight out of a dream—a secluded creek lined with swaying trees, sun-drenched clearings, and spaces designed not just to be seen but to be experienced.

Feel the rush as you plunge into the triple waterfall pool, where cascading waters spark energy in every nerve. Then, surrender to the quiet strength of the sauna, where the heat wraps around you like a warm embrace, melting away the world outside. These aren’t just amenities—they are invitations to step boldly into the moment.

Beyond the boundaries of the property, adventure calls. Imagine hiking trails that twist through dense forests, mountain biking routes that test your limits, and the gentle rhythm of a river that carries you downstream on a tubing excursion. Every path leads to discovery; every mile tells a story.

As the day softens, the magic of VAYHAUS Ellijay comes alive. Gather at the Social Pavilion, where laughter and the crackle of fire mingle under a canopy of stars. Along the creek,  the Outdoor Culvert Lounge, where sculptural sanctuaries with soft cushions and gentle lighting invite you to pause, unwind, and reconnect with the moment.  Here, the sound of the creek becomes the soundtrack to your stillness, and time feels as though it’s paused just for you.

And then there’s the Disco Forest. A hidden world of light and sound, where the trees become your audience and the creek sings backup. This is a place for quiet intimacy, for shared dances, and for moments you’ll carry with you long after you leave.

VAYHAUS Ellijay isn’t just a destination—it’s a canvas for the extraordinary. The thrill of adventure, the warmth of connection, the joy of discovery—it’s all here, waiting to be lived.

At VAYHAUS Ellijay, we’ve designed more than a place to stay; we’ve crafted a launchpad for unforgettable stories. Every corner of the 60-acre property is an invitation to embrace the grandeur of the wild and the joy of living outside the lines.
