The minute you exit your car, you will enjoy the rushing sounds of the river right in your backyard. Make s'mores by the firepit, fish right off your back deck, play in the water, go tubing down the river, play an arcade game in the recreation room or lounge in the 7-person hot tub overlooking the river. After a day of fun, throw some burgers on the grill and eat on the outdoor dining table while soaking up the amazing views of the river from the back porch overlooking the river and the 2000 acres of wildlife management area across the river - nothing but nature!

My wife always wants to stay near the water. You cant get closer than this cabin without being in the river. As soon as you pull up you can hear the water rolling. The cabin was spotless and the owners communicated continuously to ensure an easy check-in/arrival. The back porch was the highlight of our visit. The property is easy to find and convenient to Ellijay. I would fully recommended this property.

We loved our stay for the weekend at this beautiful home. It had everything we needed. Enjoyed the fire pit on the deck at night, throwing a fishing rod in the river right off the deck during the day, traveling to Ellijay just 5 mins away. Communication from the owner was wonderful from checkin to checkout. We would definitely stay again.

It was just my husband and I and our pups. I fell in love with the photos of this cabin right away. I could see us taking full advantage of the wonderful outdoor space. It did not disappoint. The cabin itself is cozy with a wood burning fireplace that we took full advantage of that morning we awoke to 27 degrees! Easily could have accommodated another couple. If you have kids the upstairs is so well done with a sitting area, TV, beds, bath and all kinds of games. The kitchen is well appointed, we were there for a week and did not eat out once. (we could have town is a short drive away with fast food and local restaurant choices). The outside deck area is divine. Comfortable seating areas, gas fire pit, gas grill, hot tub...and the view is a nature lovers dream. I didn't get much reading done as the sound of the rushing water the fall leaves and bird watching kept my interest. We were even visited by a bald eagle that landed in the tree top directly across the river. I would most definitely stay here again, the host is very friendly and communicates well.

Looking to celebrate my mom's birthday, my sister and I were tasked with finding the perfect river cabin to spend the weekend. There were so many rental options to choose from, but I can honestly say I think we made the best choice by choosing this property! You're literally on the river and can enjoy the outdoors from the multiple deck options or even from the living area indoors with the huge sliding glass door! The host was more than accommodating, and we had everything we needed to have the perfect birthday weekend. Hoping to return soon, I'd highly recommend this property if you're looking to spend some time relaxing on the river!

We absolutely loved this cabin! The view is so spectacular and the sound of the water running is just so peaceful and soothing. We loved the hot tub. We have been to several cabins where it seemed the hot tubs were not actually maintained, but this one actually heated up and worked properly, and having that view while in the hot tub is just amazing. Our kids slept in the upstairs area where there are two twin beds and a game room. They loved it, and they actually really loved having a ladder. Also, fyi, the ladder is not even hard for a middle aged person with wonky knees to get up and down, though. 🙂 The wide steps and handles at the top make it easy to get up and down. Thank you for sharing your lovely, well-maintained cabin and helping us all to have some much needed time to relax and unwind.

The cabin was just as advertised. Ellijay has a great small town feel. Our vacation was very relaxing and we were able to unwind. The only issue I had was the cabin could've been a little cleaner. However, the owner was incredibly prompt with a resolution and she was very communicative. I'd definitely recommend this cabin to anyone!

We loved every minute of our stay at this fabulous little cabin. Although it is not large, it was perfect for our family of 3 and we had room to spare. We appreciated the Welcome note and s'more supplies! Every detail has been thought of and all furnishings are comfortable and stylish. The boys loved the game room! Proximity to Ellijay is great and groceries nearby. The deck and the river are the best part- we spent lots of time outside enjoying this. The host was very helpful and checked in with us. Love the app they sent with all the info about the cabin and surrounding area. We have visited this area annually and this cabin is our favorite. We will definitely be back!

We spent the week here for Spring Break and it didn’t disappoint! The cabin is updated and beautiful, the location on the river is perfection!! The prompt response to questions with the homeowner was a plus. Close to everything. Would love to visit during summer to float in the river and catch fish. We will be back:)

This cabin was perfect and excellently decorated. It could be in a magazine! The owners really thought of everything. My family came with the intent of not leaving and we didn’t. My 13 year son thoroughly enjoyed the arcade game and staying in the loft playing games all weekend. I easily cooked all meals as everything you need was provided. The best part of the stay was the deck. It is truly amazing! The river had white water rapids and the sounds was so peaceful. I have never felt so relaxed. I had my morning coffee riverside as well as read my books, ate a few meals, took respite in the hammock, enjoyed the hot tub with my husband, enjoyed a glass of wine with my daughter, and shed a few tears as I did not want to leave (actually happened). We utilized the gas fire pit to roast s’mores at night (thanks you for the s’mores supplies!) I enjoyed walks down the road as it was covered with multicolored leaves and was beautiful. I enjoy traveling and always identify ways owners/business can improve but this time I cannot find any areas to improve. We had a wonderful time and hope to return soon! Ps if you ever want to sell, please give me first option!
