Welcome to Shepherd's Run! We Love Dogs and welcome all breeds and sizes!
This fully renovated cabin sits on 1.6 acres and is surrounded by pasture and mountain views, wild turkeys, guinea hens, goats and horses. The grounds are covered in wild peppermint, the fragrance is hanging in the air and so refreshing! Your furry family members will enjoy 2 fenced outdoor play areas, one with fire pit, seesaw, 3 truck tires to run through or jump over, a sniffari route with stones, hay, and posts to sniff at, jumping noodles and jolly balls of all sizes. Just added - a huge sandbox for digging! Yay!
We are right off Old Highway 5, minutes from Downtown Ellijay, outdoor activities, restaurants, groceries, shopping and the annual Apple Festival.
The 800 sqft. cottage was build in 1940. It was partially renovated a few years back. The previous owners operated a free range chicken farm, chicken, cats, roosters, bunnies and turkeys were running wild and free on the land.
After acquiring it a few months back, we completely renovated the bathroom, build a custom cabinet for the kitchen, updated the closets, added new lightning throughout and a dishwasher. The shiny new red roof is matched by shiny red doors, front and back. The back porch (that's the porch you see when you drive in) was completely redone, a gate was added to keep our doggy guests inside and safe. We build a flight of stairs, that lead down to the small fenced area. The metal fence gate can be opened to allow access to the large fenced area and to combine both areas.
Guests will find 2 king size beds, nightstand lamps with charging ports, a butcher block kitchen table with seating for four and a comfy sofa arrangement with plenty of blankets and pillows to watch a movie or show of choice. Furniture covers are provided for the dogs to allow them to snuggle up with you on the sofa or in front of the electric fireplace.
A dog crate is right next to the sofa and a variety of dog supplies can be found inside the cabinet in the kitchen.
WE love this place and hope you will have a wonderful time staying with us. You have access to all areas of the cottage except the locked storage cabinet and crawlspace.
Ellijay, Georgia, known as the "Apple Capital" of Georgia, is located between the Ellijay and Cartecay Rivers where they join to make the Coosawattee River. It is also the county seat of Gilmer County, Georgia. Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast, prefer fine dining, enjoy vineyard tours or lose yourself shopping for handmade arts and crafts - Ellijay and surrounding areas seem to have an endless array of activities to offer.
The famous Georgia Apple Festival takes place every October right down the street from our cottage. Some of the best apple orchards are local to the area as well. Did I mention the wonderful Farmers market, the many delicious eateries located right off the square?
There are hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails, countless camping opportunities, numerous fishing spots located along the rivers. In the mood for tubing? So much to explore. ENJOY!
Please note! The bathroom is shared and can only be accessed through the main bedroom. Please consider this set up before making a reservation!

About the Owner
We, Barbara (originally from Germany) and Andrea (originally from Austria) are best friends of 25 years and veterans of the service industry. We love to travel and I always take my dogs with me. 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. We decided to do better, compiled a list of all the things we would like to find upon arrival and started our business. Shepherds Lounge was our first step into the hospitality business, followed by Shepherds Run. We are constantly looking for properties to serve our four legged family members and their owners best! We strive to improve and would love to hear your experiences and suggestions!Location
