Ellijay Sheep farmhouse experience! Farm stay, explore, feed the animals

The farmhouse was one of the most unique experiences our family has ever had. The views of the farm were amazing and having the actual farm store next door was perfect. The hosts were amazing and extremely gracious to give our kids a tour of the farm. The home provided all the necessary kitchenware, the rooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The recliners in the living room made evening time by the fireplace very relaxing. The location of the farmhouse right off the main road was convenient and was a quick 10 min drive into downtown Ellijay and about 20 minutes to Blueridge. Overall one of the best trips we have ever had!

Cute place with plenty to do and animals to see. Lee went out of his way to give us a private playdate with the baby goats.

Everything about this house was excellent. Cleanliness, amenities (best coffee around), beautiful location convenient to Blue Ridge, Ellijay and of coarse enjoying the sheep and farm animals. We look forward to visiting again soon!

We had a wonderful stay at this impeccable clean, charming and cozy farm house. We spent our weekend relaxing and enjoying all of the animals. The area has lots to do and the farm store was fun and convenient. The home is well stocked and thoughtfully decorated. We’d love to come back!

Had a great time. Property was perfect location. House was the perfect size for family of 6. Built in entertainment with the sheep next door. No traffic. No bad smells from farm. Chicken and geese in the morning. Buy some feed from store and feed through the fence. Take the tour of the corn field and drive to Ellijay downtown. About 10 minutes. Highly recommend.

Home was perfect for our weekend. Home was as described. Check in was easy and host communicated quickly. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds and furniture were comfortable. The fenced yard was perfect and the farm was so peaceful. Lots of little extras like q-tips, shampoo, conditioner, salt/pepper, air fryer and blender came in handy. Thank you!

Beauty of the Mountains ferry, pet, friendly, fantastic hosts

Put this wonderful place on your bucket list! super clean, beautiful grounds, precious animals and fabulous host!! what more could you want? Easy to find and a joy to stay at. While you are there visit the store and get some delicious fresh cooked goodies. Hope to return soon.Melanie

We had a wonderful visit at the farm. The home was well appointed and had everything we needed. Hayden gave us a great tour of the sheep and our two year old grandson loved petting a baby sheep. We would definitely recommend a stay here. Downtown Elijay has nice shops and there are many good hiking trails. Try the hard cider! Will and Mindy are fantastic hosts - thank you!!

This was such a sweet place to stay with the family. The views were perfect. The owners were friendly. The animals on the property were welcoming and we had an awesome time.

We had a wonderful time here! The house was clean and well appointed. The location was great! We had a wonderful experience on the hayride down to pet the adorable baby sheep. The farm store on site has a lot of great items to choose from, including baked goods and cute gifts. Also, the hosts were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!

The Sheep Farm was a very Peaceful Place. Very Comfortable surroundings and very Friendly Host. We were looking for a laid back weekend getaway and that was exactly what we got. We enjoyed our delicious lunch at Cantaberry’s Restaurant in downtown Ellijay and then went and checked into the house . Lee and Mindy were the perfect host. Always there if you needed them and never bothered us for anything. We even got to hold a 10 day old sheep!

Just perfect, from the hospitality to the beautiful farm and scenery.

Our family had a great time visiting and staying at Cress Creek Sheep Farm! The house was well stocked, clean, and comfortable and the hosts were kind and helpful. Our young kids had a great time feeding the sheep, completing the corn maze, riding the tractor hay ride, and generally exploring the farm! We enjoyed apple picking nearby and a few small hikes as well! Beautiful and we would happily return!

A group of us stayed for a girl's weekend getaway. The property is gorgeous and the house is just adorable and the decor is perfect for the sheep farm theme. The owners and their family were on the property as this is a working sheep farm and farm store, so they were available but yet non-intrusive. They were wonderful hosts exemplifying Southern Hospitality, and shared with us information about the farm and letting us interact with the sheep. The newborn lambs were so cute!!!! The house is very well appropriated and clean, and it worked well for our group. We are talking about a return visit next year!!

I can’t say enough good things about this property! This is absolutely perfect for your family vacation, girls’ getaway, or even your solo retreat from it all. The property is stunning. You’ll start your day with coffee watching deer and turkey in the back fields as the sun rises over the mountains. In the evenings the front and back porches are an ideal spot to survey the sheep, chickens, turkey, and other friends that you’ve made while staying here. (Cocoa the sheep likes head scritches before bed. Don’t disappoint her.) The home has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It is impeccably clean and beautifully decorated for your farm vacation. A quick trip to the grocery store when you arrive means you can prepare as many meals at “home” as you would like. If you prefer to visit the restaurants in downtown Ellijay, you’re only 4 miles down the road. This vacation is really made perfect by meeting Lee, Mindy, Hayden, and their whole extended family as they come to the property each day to work the farm and run the store. Their warm greetings each day and advice on places to visit and things to do were lovely. Hayden gave us a private tour of the farm and let us pitch in on some chores (one of which was snuggling the brand new baby lamb that was born that day - I’ll take this chore everyday, please!). And because we visited during the Apple Festival, we joined the family on the Cress Creek parade float to wave along the parade route and keep Barry the sheep company!
