Modern Luxe Barn House w Hot Tub

We have many friends in Atlanta and Blue Ridge so Ellijay is perfectly situated geographically. We've stayed at the Atlas family of homes several times and each has its own charms. On the property-level: The hosts are communicative and easy to work with, the farm is a DREAM and visiting the animals is such a lovely way to start the day. They do a wonderful job decorating and maintaining the surroundings and it's so quiet and peaceful there. Can't recommend these properties enough. 

The Barn House is so spacious and thoughtfully designed! I LOVE how much light there is, and all the picture windows. Hot tub is a bonus but our friends with kids have stayed here and it was ideal for larger families or mixed groups!

Great stay for groups

Absolutely love this property and it was perfect for a fun celebratory weekend with friends. These guys really did it right--there is no detail left behind. This property effortlessly brings Scandinavian influence to Appalachia, and it's a job well done. The functionality of the space is perfect for small to moderate sized groups, but is even better when adjoined with bookings on their other properties on the farm. Hospitality is A++, will be back again soon.

So Good

We had the absolute pleasure of spending a weekend with friends on the Atlas property. The weekend was everything you could ask for and more. Pond house was both architecturally, beautiful and welcoming. The design and comforts are unmatched. Ben and Ted are the most wonderful host and have truly thought of everything.Then add on waking up to a beautiful serene environment with farm animals to feed and relaxing walks to take on the property, we cannot wait to go back! It’s hard to believe this kind of escape is just over an hour from Atlanta. We cannot wait to visit again and bring our kids next time! Highly recommend visiting this property.

The most magical weekend!

I’m almost embarrassed to admit this is my third stay at Pond House—but clearly, I have no intention of stopping there.

Living in Atlanta with kids and a busy life, getting away to the Blue Ridge area for a few days gives me something I didn’t realize I needed so much: joy, peace, and actual calm. Pond House has become one of those rare places where I can completely exhale.

Everything is thoughtful, beautiful, and genuinely special—the home design, the animals, the hosts, the little details, all of it. There’s a wonderful sense of hygge, warmth, and queer safety that makes the whole experience feel incredibly welcoming and comfortable.

And then there are the animals. Pigs. Ducks. Bees. Amazing goats. 🐐

The hosts somehow manage to make everything feel both effortless and deeply intentional, and you can tell how much care has gone into creating this place. I leave every time feeling more rested, more grounded, and already plotting my next visit.

Three stays in, and I’m pretty sure Pond House has officially become my happy place.

Everything and then some!

Our stay at Pond House was truly exceptional. The design of the home is beautiful, thoughtful, and incredibly well done. Every detail feels intentional, and Ted and Ben have clearly thought of absolutely everything. They are gracious, welcoming hosts who make you feel immediately at home.

The setting is just as special as the house itself. The scenery is peaceful and calming, and the animals add such a wonderful, memorable element to the experience.

We actually stayed at Pond House twice—once with our young children and once with a group of adults—and it was perfect for both. It is rare to find a place that works so beautifully for different kinds of trips, but Pond House somehow does it all.

We couldn’t recommend Pond House more highly. It is a truly special place, and we can’t wait to return!

Magical Getaway!
