Beautiful property with all the amenities you could ask for. River tubing bonfires deer everywhere and just an hour or so from home. Downtown Elijay has been transformed over the years and is worth a visit for lunch or dinner. Do consider this home for your future getaway.

Fantastic spot for a peaceful and serene getaway!

We absolutely loved the cabin, it has a beautiful view and booking was a breeze. The host was very responsive and hospitable. The cabin itself was well maintained, clean and roomy. This is the perfect place if you are looking for some peace and quiet to reconnect with nature while big enough to host a large group. We will definitely be back!

Family Christmas Vacation

The cabin is beautiful and we enjoyed staying here. Please be aware the main floor is upstairs. My elderly Mom wasn't able to climb them; but there is a nice den, bedroom and bath downstairs. Also the driveway is steep. The view of the river is awesome!.

Fun river retreat

Our family enjoyed our stay here! We loved tubing in the river, it is fast moving and fun. Takes a little while to get to the property from the neighborhood gate but we saw tons of deer on the road. The deer are not afraid of cars so be sure tondrive slowly.

Perfect Summer Fun

Everything was as expected. Great location right on the river for ease of access. Cabin had all that and then some. Relaxing and a lot of fun. Easy to day drive to waterfall hikes and downtown Ellijay and Blue Ridge. Excellent communication from the property owner. Perfect summer family fun for all three families. Would stay again for sure. Thank you!

Wonderful stay

We certainly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. Everything was as advertised. The home was very comfortable. Being located next to a beautiful river was a hit. It was too cold to tube but we enjoyed our time by the river. Night time sitting around the excellent fire pit with abundant firewood supplied by the hosts was so enjoyable. Anna was very timely in responding to any questions we had. We had no problems with our stay and would love to return in the future.

Comfortable

The cabin was comfortable and very close to the river. The fire pit and chairs river side were very nice. Our only issue was the refrigerator wasnt totally empty when we arrived. The 2 top shelves and the door were full of items which made it hard for us to store our items for 4 days. Other than that it was great

Beautiful Cabin on the Coosawatee river!!

Our stay here far surpassed my expectations! The photos really don’t do the Cabin justice. There is beautiful hardwood or pine wood throughout the cabin, the bathrooms are spotless and updated with beautiful granite. Most importantly, the cabin was spotlessly clean, I feel like you could eat off the floors here. Tons of extra blankets, linens, and loads of extra towels. The kitchen was very nice and well equipped. The layout of the cabin is very nice. It felt very comfortable for our party of 10. The rushing river is feet from the cabin, it’s beautiful, and feels very private. I’m not sure when the hot tub was put in, but it feels brand new. It was very nice and spotlessly clean. This may vary from season to season, but we also saw loads of deer, including walking feet from the cabin. Lastly, Anna was an exceptional host, very good communication, very easy to work with, I would highly recommend this Cabin to anyone!!

Riverside serenity

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful riverside cabin with my family of 4 and our 2 dogs, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. The cabin is not only perfectly located by the river, but it was also incredibly family-friendly. It had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay, making it feel like a home away from home. The host was incredibly helpful and promptly communicative, ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Including helping us recover a lost prized stuffed animal of our youngest child and offering to return it to us. One of the highlights of our time at the cabin was the privacy it offered. We were able to relax and unwind without any disturbances, truly allowing us to recharge. The view of the river from the screened in porch was simply breathtaking, and we loved being able to easily access the river for some fun water activities. Overall, I cannot recommend this riverside cabin enough. It provided the perfect getaway for my family, and we left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Thank you Anna for providing such a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful experience in this cabin. Kitchen is very well stocked and little things like small blankets on every couch/chair made the cabin cozy and comfortable. The lower floor gave us a perfect combination of privacy and connection with rest of cabin. My husband and I stayed there and the floor felt like an apartment with its own living area. Too cold for tubing but will be back to experience that as well.

Amazing property, with a lot of room for a big group. Love the well stocked kitchen and the fine decoration. Please follow Ann’s instructions regarding the address. If you have never been in Coosawattee River Resort, getting there may be tricky, specially at night. I have ATT and lost service in the resort area. We all enjoyed the fire pit and the super easy access to the river. We saw a lot of deers too! I highly recommend this property and thank Anna and her husband for the hospitality.

Peaceful river retreat

House directly overlooks the river, so you can sit on the screened deck and listen to it rushing by. Lots of different spaces in the house for the various guests. House is clean and host is very responsive and helpful. Tubing opportunities right outside your door, and nice parks nearby. Day trips into Ellijay, to Amicolola, or to kayaking outfitters take slightly more planning (it’s a slow drive in and out of the resort), but can easily be done. Really nice place to stay.
