River Retreat | Ellijay, GA

The North Georgia mountains are calling your name at River Retreat!







Take in the natural sights and rhythmic sounds at this cabin getaway. The open floor plan, and multiple levels, give you space to come together and enjoy the things in life that are important to us. Coffee while witnessing nature's bounty and dinner on the deck overlooking the Coosawatee River is the epitome of relaxation.







River Retreat is nestled in the ever-popular Coosawattee River Resort. Whether you're driving miles of winding roads for deer gazing, fishing the lake or river, or enjoying this resort's many parks, you will never have a dull moment!







Just minutes from downtown Ellijay, River Retreat puts you in the best area to maximize all North Georgia has to offer! Apple houses, wineries, antiques, 5-star dining, and more are all within a short drive from the cabin.

Every single person in my group enjoyed the treasures of River Retreat! It’s an amazing view and beautiful property. We enjoyed our stay just relaxing in the cabin and on the decks! It was a perfect place for me to spend my birthday! Besides the front gate, I didn’t have to talk to any team members, we had everything we needed and any instructions about anything were already in the cabin.
