Paws and Linger Retreat | Riverfront • Dog-First Luxury • Spa Escape

Wake up above the rushing Ellijay River, sip your coffee on a private deck just steps from the water, and unwind in your own infrared sauna or steam shower—this is where relaxation and connection come naturally. Just five minutes from downtown, yet tucked away in peaceful seclusion, Paws and Linger Retreat is designed for couples, friends, and remote workers who want a memorable stay without leaving their dogs behind.

Here, dogs aren’t just allowed—they’re celebrated. All breeds, all sizes, multiple dogs welcome, and they always stay free. A fenced yard (riverfront side open), crates, elevated beds, toys, and more mean your pups feel at home from the moment they arrive.

Inside, enjoy two king beds, a cozy Fisher wood-burning fireplace, leather recliners, a 65” Roku TV with YouTubeTV, and a fully stocked kitchen with everything you need. Step downstairs into your private wellness space with yoga area, weights, and sauna, or simply linger on the deck and let the sound of the river do the rest.

Minutes from local favorites like ROO Vineyard and Cress Creek Farm, this is your place to slow down, reconnect, and truly enjoy time with your loved ones—four-legged ones included.

Stay longer. Linger more. Book your escape today.
