🐑 A TRUE Farm experience! Come stay on our active sheep farm in the Blue Ridge mountains. If you are looking for a unique stay, our mountain valley farm is sure to please. Our three king bedrooms and two full baths house is perched on top of a rolling hill, with long valley view’s overlooking our sheep farm!
The Farm and farmhouse are located on our 14 acres where you will be immersed in adorable lambs, grapevines, babbling creeks and long valley views. All with the stunning Blue Ridge mountain views as your backdrop. We just added a nice fenced back yard for you to let your youngsters or pet off leash so they can enjoy some outdoor free time. They too will get to meet new friends along a shared fence line!
Onsite small grape vineyard, over one hundred+ head of sheep, egg laying hens, ducks, turkeys, all produce fresh products daily and are available through our retail farm store at the road front. Bring the family for a hands-on farm experience and tour with your stay. Only 4 miles from downtown Ellijay and 6 miles from Blue Ridge. Where hiking, wineries, apple orchards, and train rides await. Be prepared to make new animal friends during your stay. Our friendly sheep will await you in the “meet the sheep” coral next to the farm store.
Enjoy looking out of the master bedroom windows and counting sheep before you go to sleep. Wake up to the rooster crowing as you make your way to the on-site farm store for fresh eggs, pastries, and dairy. All just on site from your door. In the fall, we host an annual corn maze, and tractor hayride you can enjoy. Food trucks and fun games are open on the weekends during our events on the grounds.
Seasonally there is always something growing to enjoy. Pumpkins grow next to the three creeks that run through the farm as well as sunflowers and wildflowers!
Our family of three will be present daily, as we work the 100 head of sheep 🐑 in the valley and can be seen at a distance out your back door as we tend the fields. This includes our 8-acre corn maze we put on in the fall season. You will be welcomed to visit with the animals and tour the grounds where we have three converging creeks, grape vineyard, rustic barns, and modern farm facilities. (Good boots are suggested.) you will meet Tom the turkey and his family, fluffy rams and baby lambs!
