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! ##### Jason L.

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. ##### Beth R.

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. ##### Katie H.

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:) ##### Elisabeth C.

Easy drive from Ellijay & the house was right on the river!! Absolutely loved being able to walk a few feet & be in the river. Gorgeous views of the river from the back & the trees from the front. Extremely peaceful. House was very well done & had everything we needed. Enjoyed the grill, propane fire pit & hot tub on the back deck. Owner was very responsive. We’re already looking forward to our next visit! ##### Amy K. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ---
