Hello there, traveler—
I’m Mr. Fox, your unofficial host at The Fox and Firefly at Walnut Mountain—a cozy, three-story romantic retreat tucked into the evergreens near Ellijay, Georgia. If you’re dreaming of a peaceful mountain escape to reconnect, recharge, and slow down with someone special, you’ve found the right den.
🌿 A Romantic, Spa-Like Mountain Escape
Designed for couples seeking rest and renewal, the cabin offers warm fires, quiet corners, and calming mountain views at every turn.
🧘 Wellness Loft Sanctuary
Our treetop loft is made for yoga, meditation, journaling, or simply unwinding. You can also schedule in-cabin massages, couples massages or sound baths, with our trusted therapists.
🔥 Outdoor Spaces With Hot Tub & Mountain Views
Share cocoa on the jumbo porch swing, cuddle by the gas firepit, or slip into the covered 5-person hot tub under glowing string lights and privacy wrap. From sunrise mist to bright starry nights, the mountains create the perfect backdrop for romance.
🛏️ Two Private King Suites
Each suite offers complete privacy with its own bathroom, lounge space, coffee nook, and patio—ideal for one couple craving extra space or two couples traveling together.
🍷 Wineries, Shopping & Small-Town Charm
Just minutes away, Ellijay and Blue Ridge offer boutique shopping, cozy cafés, local art studios, and some of North Georgia’s best wineries—Chateau Meichtry, Roo, Engelheim, and more. Wander twinkle-lit streets, share wine flights, and explore charming mountain towns hand in hand.
🎮 Nostalgic Game Room
An 80s arcade, Super Nintendo, darts, poker, board games, and a vintage record player set the mood for fun and connection.

We’ve included all the little luxuries that make a stay feel special—plush robes, cruelty-free toiletries, a fully stocked kitchen, easy-to-use indoor and outdoor gas fireplaces, and high-end, professionally curated décor.
