Peace and Relaxation
A last minute vacation booked for the New Year Holiday couldn’t have been any better. The property was better then described. The property was superbly appointed. Communication with the property owner was stellar. Check in was effortless. The home is perfectly located next to a tranquil river. Getting warm around the fire pit with the family making s’mores on a cold night while sharing stories and listing to the sounds of the river are what dreams are mad of. My family and I had such a great time at this property and we are looking forward to many future stays. Thank you Mauricio for being such a responsive, knowledgeable and helpful host.

River Retreat
We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cabin. There was plenty of room for my our family of 5 (14, 15, 16 yo kids), the kitchen and baths were well stocked, house was clean, beds comfy, in a quiet and secluded place along the river. River access was a big plus as it allowed us to do some fly fishing when it wasn’t raining. The porches are amazing with fantastic mountain and river views. The owner was very communicative and pro active with sharing information. Pet friendly with easy check I /out instructions. Coosawatee river is one of our favorite spots!

Beautiful Cabin Retreat in Coossawattee
I cannot say enough things about this cabin. It is beautiful and located in one of the most peaceful areas of the Coossawattee River Community. The owners are very accomodating and kind. The communication with the them was always good, and questions were answered promptly. There is a lot of deer around for your family to enjoy! To sum up, I highly recommend this cabin. You will not be disappointed! Thank you!

Wonderful cabin in the woods
We loved staying at this cabin! There was plenty of room for our group to eat and enjoy an evening around the fire. The beds are comfortable and 3 bathrooms made getting ready very easy and quick. We mostly enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the river go by and the numerous deer that came by each day. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

So relaxing
The pictures do not disappoint. As soon as you pull in the neighborhood. You are overwhelmed with the fall colors, beautiful scenery, and even some welcome visitors (deer). The cabin itself is right along the riverbank and close to some rapids so you can hear the water from the house with the windows and doors open. The beds were comfortable everything you needed was there. We brought our 17 month old son with us and we felt safe letting him wander. He loved being outside and thought it was the nest thing to see all the wildlife in his backyard. Will 100% stay here again next year around this time. Only next time maybe a little longer.!

Place and location was perfect. Waterfront, awesome backyard with amazing river views. Deer just about everywhere you look.
Loved the 2nd level deck! We spent a lot of time on the deck. Beds were very very comfortable. Having 3 full bathrooms for all 3 bedrooms was so nice!!
Definitely recommend staying here!

River vacation
We enjoyed this cabin very much. There was plenty of room, the porch was great to sit out and enjoy the sound of the river. River access was nice. We had one issue with the hot tub not heating up but I messaged the host and he responded right away with how to fix it, which worked, so we were happy. I would definitely stay here again, we love this area as well!

Nice view
Nice view of the river, kitchen and baths well stocked. Owner communicated well, responded quickly. Enjoyed the pool table though it and sticks have seen better days. Lots of deer and some in the yard, which was fun. We enjoyed the rec center even though it is a 20 minute ride. Unfortunately house was not clean enough for us. Oven in kitchen dirty. Shower had mildew and hair. Cobwebs in the rafters and crumbs under the sofa cushions. Decks not blown off or hosed down and windows washed in awhile.

We really enjoyed the property and the surrounding area. The adults enjoyed the relaxing sound of the river while on the deck or sitting around the fire pit was very relaxing. The kids really enjoyed fishing, tubing and playing in the river. The house was very well equipped with kitchen, bed and bath supplies. Highly recommend this house me for anyone looking to stay in the ellijay/blue ridge area

Beautiful and cozy
The cabin was gorgeous and cozy. We loved waking up to hear the river and sitting on the porch listening to the birds. As a Floridian the roads were pretty intimidating but in no way ruined our overall experience. The location was excellent close enough to pick up forgotten essentials and a reasonable distance from attractions.

Beautiful Cabin with amazing view
Beautiful view, loved the porch space and sitting areas. My toddlers loved the back porch and it was locked so it was very safe. Downstairs definitely got cold, luckily saw the personal heaters on day two and they helped a lot. Wasn’t crazy about the kitchen table because it was very high and only sat four. Loved the toddler/children’s table. Beds were cozy. Sheets great. Beautiful resort, lots of deer and wildlife. Ready to go back. Overall good experience.

Great Cabin - Has Everything you need!
Just getting back after a long weekend at this cabin! My family and I had a spectacular time. The cabin was well stocked with everything we needed! Plenty of trash bags, soap, detergent and other odds and ends. The beds were very comfortable, and there was plenty of storage. The check in/out process was very easy and quick!
The only "downside" we experienced was the Hot Tub was not on when we arrived, and the water temp said it was around 52 degrees - the hot tub seems to turn itself on/off - so it took nearly our entire stay (3 days) to get the water up to 100degrees.. but the kids made due once it hit 90.
Overall - Great time, great cabin!

Rapid Retreat beyond our expectations!
This vacation property is more beautiful and larger than how it appears online. The views from every window are gorgeous. We saw so many deer and Canadian geese. We loved the little extras offered through out the home like the Christmas trees, and board games. Best of all it was completely dog friendly. Ideal location near downtown Ellijay that is home to one of our favorite restaurants The Canterberry and many pet friendly shops!
