The farm carries a 5.0 rating and focuses on horseback riding, kids activities, and party and event planning, which makes it a well-rounded destination for families in the North Georgia hills. Ellijay attracts a lot of weekend visitors from Atlanta, and a riding school with event hosting capabilities fits naturally into that tourism ecosystem.

Riding lessons at Willow Tree Farm are structured for beginners through intermediate riders, with a particular focus on younger students given the kids activities category. Lessons cover basic horsemanship, safety, and riding technique in a school setting where progress is tracked from session to session. The party and event planning side of the operation means the farm can host birthday parties, group outings, and private celebrations with horses as the central activity. Guests at events typically get a mix of riding time, interaction with the animals, and use of the farm's outdoor spaces.

Willow Tree Farm serves riders and families in Ellijay and throughout Gilmer County, as well as visitors making their way up from the Atlanta metro for a weekend in the mountains. It's also accessible for residents of Blue Ridge, Jasper, and Chatsworth. The farm sees visitors from across North Georgia who are looking for a mountain equestrian experience that goes beyond a simple trail ride.
