We started in 2007 when we  hosted a Farm~To~Table~ Dinner on our beautiful newly purchased 18 acre 1930's homestead, which we now refer to as 'The Farm'. That night a creative breeze gave inspiration to us and we brought you GLAMPING adding 4 luxurious, magical sleeping tents to the property which we now have scattered on our ridge.
Time crept on... and guests came and went...some have come back again and again. We have sat around the fire-pit with wine or home-brew in hand and shared many stories over the years. 
Then we became restless and in 2012 we began yet another adventure when we purchased a 1940's historic building in downtown Ellijay. This building has come to be known as The Martyn House In Towne. This was to become our way of creatively connecting our community! We knew coffee needed to be involved and thus the 'Coffeehouse'.  
As the months turned into years we listened... we watched ... and now we put the final pieces of our creative puzzle together. Our love of good farm fresh food has evolved into Friday night dinners and what we are calling Fabulous Friday's at 'Cafe 131'  
And finally what used to be our music venue next door has been slowly redesigned and thoughtfully put back together. It is a private club and we are calling it our 'Speakeasy'. We will be providing a private space for those conference calls or meetings from 8-5 and also a place to relax and enjoy that quiet time we call the end of the day............
We love when we have become... we hope you will too...
Introducing ... new and even better
