Outdoor Living at Its Finest The outdoor amenities are truly the highlight of this beautiful riverfront Ellijay cabin rental. Relax in the soothing hot tub as you take in the breathtaking views of the Cartecay River and the surrounding North Georgia Mountains. While the cabin is tucked into a serene, natural setting, you may hear some road noise from across the river — a reminder that you're close to conveniences and some of the highlighted attractions of our area, while still feeling worlds away.

Inside, the fun continues with a game room featuring a pool table and arcade games, perfect for guests of all ages to enjoy after a day of outdoor adventure. A unique highlight of the cabin is the large custom water wheel, churning the river water into a small pond below, giving this retreat its charming name: Waterwheel on the Cartecay. A spacious outdoor deck invites al fresco dining, complete with a mini kitchen and a well-appointed eating area. The deck also features a romantic swing built for two, perfect for quiet moments together as the river flows peacefully below. For sports enthusiasts, there’s no better spot to catch a Sunday ball game than from a cozy rocking chair on the deck, accompanied by a glass of wine from a nearby North Georgia winery. Rustic Elegance Meets Modern Comfort Step inside this brand-new cabin to discover custom craftsmanship and luxurious touches throughout. Cathedral ceilings and gorgeous wood floors create an inviting ambiance, while the true wood-burning fireplace in the living area sets the stage for cozy winter nights. Imagine snuggling up with your special someone in front of the crackling fire, celebrating a special occasion as the glowing embers dance and fade. The fully equipped kitchen is a culinary haven, boasting top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a large island complete with a sink, microwave, and dishwasher. With ample seating and plenty of space to prepare and serve meals, this kitchen is perfect for hosting family feasts or casual gatherings with friends. Comfortable Accommodations The cabin offers three well-appointed sleeping spaces to comfortably host up to six guests. On the main level, you’ll find a luxurious King bedroom featuring a spacious ensuite bathroom, a flat-screen TV, and direct access to the deck.

Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William B. 26 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Delightful Cabin on the Cartecay River Things we liked: Great directions; Gated community, cabin at end of the road and private yet easy to locate;obviously well built and pleasing modern design; location convenient to Ellijay, Blue Ridge, Amicalola Falls State Park, Dalonaga. Very comfortable bedrooms and inside is very quiet. Downstair games, pool table and hot tub nice touch. Things we were found lacking:kitchen needs a few more amenities such as large cooking pot, blender, pyrex cook wear, Downstairs could certainly use a bathroom and perhaps a refrigerator/cooler.Things that we were dissapointed with:Cabin is in a beautiful setting along the river but unfortunately the road noise from Hwy 52 is unescapable when you are outside. You simply are not going to get that peaceful "babbling brook" vibe if that is what you are looking for; some added amenities nice had they not been a safety hazard. Outdoor swing which fell out of the ceiling when my friend was in it and the cow skin throw underneath the coffee table which was a real trip hazard for all four of us (management was notified about the swing and I am sure they are going to get it fixed ASAP. My friend wound up with a nasty bruise on his thumb where the retaining bolt him and a very sore bum but this could have been allot more serious! Considering the quality of the overall cabin construction, the improper mounting of the swing was certainly unexpected.) The smart tv automatically logging off based on the wrong check out date. ##### William B.
