Very nice just what we were. looking for. The accomodations were clean and comfortable. Kitchen well stocked with cooking utensils but I never did find a toaster ??? and in all previous rentals there were always spices etc that were left so we had to purchase salt/pepper etc. so bring anything you might need for making your meals. we would return but better prepared.

Great experience!

We had a great time. The cabin was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. We loved that the area was so peaceful and quiet. My kids absolutely loved that they could get in the river or fish just steps from the back door. Having a foosball table upstairs was a nice touch! If you’re coming to visit the apple houses in Ellijay, they are just a few minutes away.

Perfect Getaway Retreat

I planned a surprise getaway weekend with my wife in the North Georgia Mountains, and we found a riverside home that was absolutely perfect for relaxing and recharging. The check-in and check-out process was seamless, and a thoughtful welcome booklet provided all the details needed for a great stay.Ellijay and the surrounding areas are stunning, with plenty to explore. We loved the local restaurants, charming shops, and the variety of wineries nearby.The home is ideal for couples or families seeking a cozy retreat with lots of wildlife joining in on the fun. It offers plenty of amenities and a well-designed layout. There’s a fun gaming area for kids, opportunities for fishing, or simply enjoying a cookout and sitting around a fire outside.We’re already planning our next visit. Huge thanks to the hosts!
