This was our yearly “friends” cation! It was the perfect stay for the 4 of us! Beautiful riverside cabin that had everything you need to make your time there wonderful! I loved sitting in the top deck looking at the river every morning! And of course the pool table and hot tub are awesome touches to the cabin. Check in was stress free and check out the same

Unlucky Weather

We weren't able to enjoy the property/river like we had hoped due to hurricane Helene coming through. It was nice having a pool table and dart board so we had something to do while it rained. And we were still able to visit a few wineries. I would like to stay here again and hopefully have better weather.

Fun long weekend.!

Very cool wooden cabin that gives you that log cabin feel .Beautiful river views from most rooms and from the balconies. Nice pool table , darts and games.Very convenient to grocery stores, hiking and downtown activities. We enjoyed playing fetch with the dogs in the river , a little too chilly for though !! Maybe we will come back and float in the river later this summer!

So peaceful and so many deer

We highly enjoyed our stay. There were so many deer in the neighborhood. The water was easy to get to since it has flat ground in the back yard. Place was very clean. Driveway was not my favorite but every cabin we have ever stayed at I haven’t been fond of lol. Overall. Great stay !

Wonderful, Quiet Location

The cabin was just as expected, and, as mentioned before, the driveway was very steep. The driveway is angled in the opposite direction of the way you come in, but there are other ways to get in and out and other places to turn around. The river was wonderful and calming. The hot tub was a huge bonus. We also utilized the recreation center with an indoor pool, tennis, basketball, and pickleball courts. There were some cobwebs because of very high ceilings but it was otherwise clean. The owner was prompt in responding to inquiries. It was a great vacation for us, and we would happily return.

Comfy Cabin on the River

Directions to the property were precise and very necessary! The gate attendant asked for a "reservation number" which we did not have, but figured it out based on our name and property number, which had been supplies. The cabin was an older home but well-maintained and the layout of bedrooms and kitchen were perfect. Neighboring homes were quite close but still enjoyed being right on the river.Kitchen pots and pans were very worn and knives were really dull. Since we stayed in and cooked a lot, that was annoying. I should have remembered my knife sharpener! Otherwise a very pleasant stay! Loved the outdoor decks and porches!

The house was just as advertised! We were 2 couples so having 2 king suites was nice. The house was spacious and clean. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, playing pool, and watching all the deer in the neighborhood. Dog friendly with gates you can use at porch entrance. House was close to lots of fun things to do.

Perfect Getaway

This place was a beautiful getaway for my wife and myself. Great views of the river out the back windows and off the back deck. The fire pit was great for sitting around at night and just enjoying the outdoors. We had deer visit daily, and even had them come within about 10-15 feet while we were sitting outside. We would 100% stay here again.

Amazing cabin right on the river

This quaint cabin is tucked away in the north Georgia mountains, right on the Coosawattee River. We thoroughly enjoyed the property, which was well equipped for a relaxing weekend. The highlights of the amenities included an outdoor private hot tub, two levels of decks overlooking the river, and a firepit right on the shoreline. We highly recommend this cabin for a relaxing weekend getaway.

Apple Festival Stay

The stay was very good. However , we received one small bar of soap for two people for 5 days. The soap was gone on day three. It would have been nice to have a chair or luggage rack in the bedrooms. One bedroom had several roaches. Overall , We enjoyed our stay and the property. It was close to Ellijay and other attractions..
