About this property
Lofty Pines on the Cartecay
Come to unwind on the Cartecay River in this quaint 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom cabin. Lofty Pines on the Cartecay is the perfect destination for your vacation- from a romantic getaway for two or a family vacation where you can hike, fish, kayak, or even try your hand at volleyball! Lofty Pines on the Cartecay gives you the unique option to put in or take out of the river right from the property! Lofty Pines on the Cartecay is adjacent to the Rich Mountain Wildlife preserve, which has miles of biking/hiking/hunting, and fishing trails!
This beautifully landscaped property is the perfect place to take a relaxing stroll by the river or let the kids play by one of North Georgia's top rivers for family fun! Sit on the beautiful screened-in porch and listen to the sounds of the river rush by you. Or, if you prefer, build a fire outside in the fire pit just steps from the river...what a perfect place to get toasty and snuggle up to that special someone! You will feel like you are in a national forest, but you are just minutes from local grocery stores and the downtown area! If you're looking for a cabin on the river where you can do a variety of outdoor activities, and still be close to town, come visit Lofty Pines on the Cartecay!
