About this property

Waterfront Lodge - Sleeps 22! Pet friendly. Secluded. Entirely level property !

This Cabin is conveniently located just minutes (4 miles) from downtown Ellijay and the Apple Festival, yet it feels like it’s miles from civilization. It is a 4+ bedroom, 3 ½ bathroom cabin in the woods, just steps away from a beautiful trophy trout stream that can be heard throughout the property and house. Native Americans once thrived in this area and considered the rivers sacred.

The Master-on-main has a brand new pillow-top king sized mattress, a sitting area with a flat screen TV, and a large bathroom with separate shower and Jacuzzi tub for two. It opens up to both the front stone patio and back deck overlooking the river through French doors.

A second bedroom on the lower level features a queen sized bed with an organic cotton high-end Sealy pillow-top mattress. There is a great view of the river and this room has it's own separate patio area. The full bathroom with shower/bathtub combo is adjacent.

Upstairs is a cute loft that overlooks the dining room and fireplace. There is a computer nook with desk and a king sized mattress that can sleep one or two. Perfect for reading a book or taking a nap.

A third bedroom upstairs overlooks the river and has a brand new queen sized bed. The private outdoor deck accessible through sliding glass doors is a great place to enjoy morning coffee. The full bathroom with shower is adjacent.

The fourth bedroom is a very large suite that features a private half-bath and a separate deck overlooking the front of the property. There are three full sized bunk beds plus two additional twin sized beds that each have pull-out twin sized trundle beds. There is a sitting area as well. This room can sleep 7-10 people. Great room for all the kids!

All linens and towels are clean and white.

The Kitchen has stainless appliances, including new stainless steel Samsung refrigerator, four-top gas range, double oven, and a dishwasher. There is a microwave, a brand new Keurig coffee maker, Cuisinart coffee maker with coffee pot, a toaster, a griddle, and many other appliances/devices. The kitchen has recently been remodeled with granite countertops with a bar that can seat up to 4 people on barstools.

There is a 10+ person dining table in the dining room, plus up to 4 at the inside kitchen bar, plus a second table in the living room that can seat 2-4. The live-edge bar (seats13+) overlooking the water on the covered porch next to the XL360 grill is a huge hit for everyone and all meals! Plenty of seating for everybody.

This house can easily accommodate large parties or families. It would be perfect for large groups or retreats. There is plenty of room for parking as well.

While this cabin does not meet the ADA handicapped standards and regulations, it is very handicapped friendly. The main living areas are one level without stairs. The level lot, even though it is surrounded by mountains, is very level and has river access without stairs. Please call with any questions regarding special needs.

About the host

Host profile image
I purchased this Lodge13 years ago because I visited it and fell in love with the properties.... they are truly unique and magical ! I am an avid fly-fisher and love kayaking..... both are perfect for both!

Additionally, I purchased the Cottage, directly next door to the Lodge, for the same reasons. Stunningly beautiful shelf of the river. Rent both properties and you can float or kayak from one property to the other.

I am happy to share my slices of Heaven on Earth with others.

Why they chose this property

It is directly on the water, it's spacious, it is unique, and it is beautiful in all seasons. It is a very humble and welcoming log cabin but it has all of the modern amenities needed to stay in touch with the rest of the world.

The house footprint is grand-fathered on the water and is only a few feet from the sandy beach into the river. It is very rare to have a handicapped-friendly property on a level lot on a trophy trout stream.

What makes this property unique

It is an incredibly remote cabin in the woods but only a few minutes from town. Many properties are difficult to reach due to unstable and or long gravel roads or complicated gate passwords. This property has all of the feelings of mountain living but is in the ideal location for traveling to town.

Additionally, the property is surrounded by mountains but it is a very level lot with an easy sandy beach into the water. Older guests and younger guests can easily enjoy getting in the river without scaling steep rocks or flights of steps. Although there is one step to enter the house, the main part of the house is all one level with no steps so it is convenient for travelers who are not mobile. The master ensuite with king bed and one queen guest bedrooms with adjacent bathroom are on the main level.
