Linger Longer earns its name from the moment you step onto the deck — a rushing creek running directly below, three king suites inside, a slate pool table and bar downstairs, and a 6-person hot tub waiting on the covered deck. This 4-bedroom, 3,250 sq ft custom mountain-modern home in the upscale Watersong community near Ellijay is the kind of place where the creek sounds alone make it hard to pack up and leave.
