From the incredible views to the fun wine cocktails, there's something for everyone at Living Water. My only suggestion would be to revisit the way the staff fills orders. I felt like people who ordered just a glass were getting taken care of way more quickly than the people who were waiting on flights.

The wines and house-made ciders (local Ellijay apples!) are excellent. The Roost Bistro, features refined Appalachian-inspired dishes with locally sourced ingredients -- think fresh trout, premium steaks, foraged Ellijay mushrooms, garden vegetables grown on site, and seasonal specials. The service was friendly and knowledgeable, led by Sebastian. A must-visit in North Georgia. We'll be back soon!

They should sell/ feature other small wineries from California or proven wine areas to maximize their visas. Don't get so hung up on trying to promote mediocre wines, go for the gusto, this place has much potential!

I booked Chris and Rebecca for a wine tour during a birthday/life celebration trip my friend and I…read morewere on. Rebecca was incredibly easy to communicate with and helped me set everything up ahead of time. I felt incredibly taken care of from the first interaction through when they dropped us off at our doorstep and carried our wine to the door. Chris picked my friend and I up and we met Rebecca with the van which they decorated with a darling happy birthday sign, cold water, and an assortment of snacks. I was blown away by their hospitality. Before hitting the road they reviewed the wineries we planned to visit and then we were off. Rebecca drove safely and made conversation with us along the way. Chris was very knowledgeable about the vineyards and wines. Each time we arrived at a new vineyard Chris opened the car door and offered his hand as we stepped down from the van. He opened the vineyard door and helped us find seats at each winery, and then gave us space to enjoy our tasting. Between tastings he made sure we were comfortable and had plenty of water and snacks. He even brought our next tasting out to our seats so that we wouldn't need to get up- it was truly FULL service in every single way. I never once felt rushed by him or Rebecca, and their smiling faces and easy demeanor really created the perfect environment for my friend and I to cut loose and enjoy ourselves. After our tastings we said goodbye and Chris drove us back to our cabin where he personally carried the box of wine to our front door. He thanked us for spending the day with him and was on his way. I cannot recommend Chris and Rebecca enough! I will absolutely be booking with them again. I highly recommend them for any trip! Their prices are incredibly reasonable- and the service is top notch. I was blown away and cannot wait to book another trip with them!

This cute bed and breakfast is up in the mountains where we were in the clouds in most mornings during our stay making breakfast time magical. And speaking of breakfast, every night you fill out a form indicating your choice of a sweet or savory meal. Arrive at your table hungry because the portions are fit for a king (huge!) and oh so tasty! (Dinner can also be ordered for an additional fee but again, king sized portions and so delicious! ) The Inn is located in Chatsworth, close to Fort Mountain and the cute town of Ellijay is on the other side of the mountain. There are so many outdoorsy places to visit near by, a long weekend is not nearly enough time to visit! We really enjoy our time visiting with Bill and Nicole and highly recommend a stay here!

We had the best long weekend getaway at the top of the mountain! We stayed in the Prince Madoc room…read morewhich had a huge stone fireplace and the softest sheets on the planet. The smell of fresh laundry is exactly what you want when you turn down the sheets at a new place-- so clean and cozy. I wasn't sure about our private bathroom being across the hall, but it was honestly great. Bathroom was very large & somehow also cozy [I think it was the warm heat coming out of the floorboard vents each time I stepped out of the shower lol]. Breakfast each morning was a 10/10! Bill is a boss in the kitchen. The homemade granola and lavender peach 2nd course were our two favorite things! If you plan to take it easy at the b&b one evening, go grab takeout brisket from Trinity in Dalton or truffle shiitake pizza from Ellijay Wood Fired Pizza and bring it back up the mountain. One of the best nights we had was eating pizza and playing giant Uno in the common room. [the giant Uno is in the basket to the left of the common room's fireplace!] Be sure to take a left when leaving the b&b so that you can see the INSANE views!! The road down the mountain to the left is SO beautiful! Things to Consider: -A more size inclusive option for the robe. My husband looked so cozy in his robe and I was disappointed that the size large was a bit too small for me. Having a few plus size robes on hand might be something to consider. Having a spot in the room's notebook that mentions larger robes are available upon request would help curvier guests feel that much more welcome & included :) -A way to text or send a message to Bill or Nicole when we have a quick question :) Thanks so much for having us Bill & Nicole! We have already convinced some friends to come and visit you guys!!

The quality of their work and value was exceptional - the venue was beautiful and unique, with great lighting and an open, flexible layout that provided us with multiple options to personalize our special day.

Our vendors loved the spacious areas; especially the kitchen, bar, and dance-floor, and the bride's blue truck was a huge hit!

We were under-dressed but it was Labor Day weekend and nowhere else had space for us. Wait staff were all gracious and no one mentioned it. No pics of the food, because it just didn't feel like the place for that. Decor was nice, sound was a good volume, staff were friendly. In the Hiawassee area and celebrating something big, don't miss this place...but make sure your wallet and attire are up to the task. You won't regret this meal.

What an amazing new restaurant in Hiawassee. Everything was top notch. Service, food, ambiance,…read more new & very clean with modern feel but not stuffy at all. We were a party of 4. Our server Josiah was on the ball. He knew the menu, the wines. Everything he suggested was on point. Two of us had the special which was Mediterranean Sea Bass stuffed raviolis in a decadent lemon sauce, not your typical berre blanc. Then a cherry tomatoconfit. It was awesome, I could have drank the sauce. This was a special but I'd love to see it on the menu. Two in our party had the rack of lamb, perfectly cooked. I had a bite & I don't care for lamb, but it was amazing. It came with carrots & some delicious scalloped potatoes. We had tiramisu, it was exceptional. Also had calamari appetizer, also delicious. If they can keep up the fresh ingredients & service, it will be an awesome addition to this little tourist town. Hope to go back again before we go home. Oh p.s. they have some very nice Italian wines & everyone we encountered was wonderful. It's a bit pricey but worth it.
