We had such a relaxing and peaceful stay at the cabin. Our 10 month old Aussie, Miss Momo, had a blast playing with all of the toys, running in the yard, and resting in the window sill overlooking the river. The infrared sauna and steam shower were both awesome! Andrea thought of everything we could need for ourselves or doggies. Nice selection of teas and coffees in the mornings, plenty of different size dog bowls, lots of pet blankets to protect the furniture. When we first arrived, we noticed the main floor windows didn’t have curtains (other than in the main bedroom), which as city dwellers, was a bit of a surprise. However, we quickly got over it, and never felt uncomfortable throughout our stay. You will very rarely see neighbors, and I never saw anyone else at nighttime! The cabin was easy to locate, and much easier to get to from the main road than other cabins we’ve stayed in in the area. It was also super clean, which we always appreciate. We will definitely be back! Thank you Andrea!!

A rare gem that lets the whole family - pups included :) - truly relax together. The property is clean, thoughtfully stocked, and full of little touches that show real care for dog owners. The Ellijay and Blue Ridge areas offer plenty of beautiful trails and wineries, many of which are both dog- and kid-friendly. Highly recommended for a comfortable, family-friendly getaway.

Very nice well maintained property. Completely equipped for guests, unlike so many other places where you immediately have to go to the store to get supplies. Everything you need to be comfortable is on hand. Dogs loved it and had a ball. I would give this property a 10 of 10 on any survey. Host communication was excellent.

Thoughtfully created haven for fur babies and their owners

My husband, sister, brother in law, and our two dogs wanted to escape Tampa for NYE since our pups are terrified of fireworks. And boy did we find the perfect getaway!! We Arrived to find an enormous fenced yard, festive Christmas decorations, and a welcoming bottle of bubbly. As much as we enjoyed downtown Elijay, we found ourselves mostly wanting to spend time in the spacious yet cozy cabin. We cooked many meals utilizing the most well equipped kitchen I’ve ever seen in a rental. We all enjoyed a “stay at home” spa day with massages(massage therapist recommended by the host), steam shower, and infrared sauna. We found it so relaxing and quiet with only the sound of the river flowing. The yard was safe and the fence was not an issue for our 20lb Yorkiepoo. The dogs had an absolute blast running free. Andrea was very helpful and responsive and she thought of every detail to make this place an absolute gem. Paws and Linger is a haven to which we hope to return again and again.

Great getaway

We reside in south Florida and was just looking for a weekend getaway to let the pups get a break from the heat. Andrea’s property popped up and checked all the boxes. Packed minimally and hit the road. From the moment we opened the truck doors and the dogs took off in her Fully gated property and we heard the waters rushing in the background we knew we would love this weekend. Beautifully remodeled house setup for Doggo heaven. Spent time on multi level outdoor space while the dogs ran/swam until they didn’t have any energy left. Then when inside she had every toy imaginable for them so the play time never stopped. Andrea was quick to respond to any inquiries we had. Very pleasant. 10 minutes from town to grab a bite. Also went hiking a few days. 20 minutes to blue ridge lake and Amicalola Falls. Both amazing and worth the trip. Her property is centrally located. We will be back. Thanks again
