Seventy-Four Ranch

We discovered the ranch almost by accident as we had a spare day before our flight home to the UK from Nashville, and decided to visit Georgia to tick off another State. We were recommended the Ellijay area, and settled on this as a good area choice and somewhere a little different. It's certainly different! The main house has some accommodation rooms, which share bathrooms, but we chose the overlook suite, which has a private bathroom. The accommodations are amazingly furnished and decorated, and the house is full of history. Pam, the owner was very friendly and gave us a tour of the house and grounds on arrival. The suite was very comfortable and well equipped, and breakfast was great, accompanied Pam telling us some of the history of the house. We wish we could have spent longer. The only drawback for some could be the proximity of the road which can be a little noisy (it didn't bother us as we live by a road anyway!). Also, if you are used to a Holiday Inn/ Best Western etc., you will find this a little different!! All in all a great experience.

My wife and I stayed here for a night for our anniversary. The property is beautiful with a lot of history, and the owner is wonderful. We greatly enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful! Very nice host. She made the experience very comfortable. She accommodated our need for an earlier check in due to an event we had to attend. Loved the history and the beautiful scenery!

200 year old working ranch house was very clean. Very historic. Host was gracious informative and friendly. The breakfast was delicious.

The area behind the B&B was lovely, very serene and pleasant. There was some road noise out front though. The host was very gracious and accomodating. Sharing a bathroom was difficult but I was aware ahead of time. The Blue Room bed was small. Overall, though. It was a very nice, peaceful experience.

This place came reccomended by a wedding venue close by and it was very convenient for that, but i would not book a stay again. My daughter had the Master bedroom and the view was gorgeous (as promised) but the shared bathroom was actually shared by 3 rooms so you heard flushing and showering constantly. Add to that the constant road noise. And there was not a single mirror in the room anywhere????Additionally, the bottom of her dress was dusty and dirty because there are no paved paths and you either walk across the front yard or through the dusty backyard to get to your room. Not good for a formal wedding with a long gown. The owner/ manager even asked my daughter if SHE could show the Mother of the Groom to her room over the barn because they were not allowed to check in early....My daughter did praise the delicious breakfast souffle and said the bed was adequate.This might be a great place for a rustic retreat but it is NOT the place to stay prior to a wedding.
