Welcome to Paws and Linger Retreat, a unique, octagon-shaped sanctuary nestled on the serene banks of the Ellijay River. Just five minutes from Downtown Ellijay, yet secluded enough to feel like a world away, this retreat offers the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility. Whether you’re a couple seeking a romantic getaway, a solo traveler in need of a peaceful escape, a group of friends looking to unwind over a spa weekend and at local vineyards, or a remote worker craving a change of scenery, Paws and Linger Retreat has something for everyone.
Our dog-friendly property is a haven for both you and your furry family members. With a fully fenced yard, elevated dog beds, crates, drinking stations and a doggy pool, your dogs will feel right at home. You’ll find thoughtful touches throughout, from furniture covers, dog towels and a treat jar in the kitchen to a well-stocked first aid kit, toys and bowls for your dogs. We are on a private well, no need to buy bottled water. The water is tested regularly and tastes wonderful.
We never charge a dog fee, because we believe your dogs are family and should be treated as such!
Inside, the main bedroom features a king-size bed with silky linens, a plush comforter, and blackout curtains for the ultimate in relaxation. The adjacent office space is perfect for remote work, complete with a height-adjustable desk, computer display, and printer. The full bathroom offers a spa-like experience with a steam shower, LED lights, and a Bluetooth radio.
The open-concept living area includes leather recliners, a 65" ROKU TV, and a cozy original “Fisher” wood-burning fireplace. The fully equipped kitchen boasts all-new LG Smart appliances, a coffee and tea station, and even a bar for mixing up your favorite drinks. Step outside to enjoy the river view from the back deck or unwind in the basement’s wellness area, featuring a yoga space, infrared sauna, and more.
When you’re ready to explore, Downtown Ellijay, ROO Vineyard, and Cress Creek Farm are all just a short drive away, offering the perfect mix of local charm and outdoor adventure. At Paws and Linger Retreat, you can truly relax, linger, and enjoy every moment with your loved ones—both two- and four-legged.

About the Owner
After having successfully launched Shepherds Lounge and Shepherds Run, this is the 3rd property that caters to our best friends aka doggies aka furbabies - at the same time providing a quality stay for their humans! I am originally from Austria, a veteran of the service industry and I love my dogs - always take them with me when going places. The amount of items I had to pack just for the dogs was overwhelming. On top of that, sleeping arrangements in many locations are mediocre, leading to sleepless nights or sore backs. After hours on the road, you find empty cabinets, not even a speck of salt, an empty fridge, no shampoo in the bathroom, no laundry detergent, not even a bottle of water. I decided to do better, compiled a list of all the things I would like to find upon arrival and started a business. Shepherds Lounge was the first step into the short term hospitality business, followed by Shepherds Run. Always learning and strive to improve. Would love to hear about your experiences and suggestions!Location
