About this property

Renovated Cabin in a Gated River Community

Welcome to our future retirement cabin and your perfect getaway! Tucked in the towering trees with Cartecay River frontage, you can sit on the porch and listen to the sounds of the river rapids. Recently renovated cabin sits on two acres with 2BR/2BA, great room with wood burning fireplace, wide plank hardwood floors and beautiful knotty pine, tongue/groove wood ceilings. As this is our part-time home, we have it stocked with quality cookware, tableware, small appliances and linens. Recent upgrades: SS appliances, granite countertops (kitchen and baths), a new king platform bed and mattress set in the master bedroom and a new glass tile walk-in shower and fixtures in master bath. Google Nest Wifi thermostat, GE washer/dryer, bathroom vanities and interior and exterior painting. Samsung Smart TV in the main room and Smart/Roku TVs in each bedroom. Bose Wave stereo and Sony DVD player. Recently upgraded Hi Speed Internet service (750 Mbps-FbrX) to support and enhance working from home & streaming movies. You'll love spending time outdoors on the well-furnished, a full length covered porch and lower level deck with a three-burner Weber gas grill. Our cabin is located in a beautiful gated community with a covered bridge entrance (see pics) and offers multiple common areas/amenities on the Cartecay River (the river is not easily accessible from the cabin) for tubing, kayaking and fly fishing. Miles of walkable tree-lined roads. Deer are frequent visitors. It's only a ten minute drive to downtown Ellijay restaurants and shopping. Also, there are several nearby orchards, vineyards and Reece's hard cidery. A thirty-day minimum rental period is required by HOA. Also, please note that the VRBO main page total price with fees for 30 days may not be accurate, please enter the desired dates in the calendar box and the correct pricing will be displayed. Please contact us with any questions and thank you for looking, Jackie and Bill
