About this property

Riverside Retreat Cartecay, Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Gameroom

This beautiful, completely renovated, small rustic cabin is situated DIRECTLY on the Cartecay River and located only 6 miles from downtown Ellijay, you cannot get any closer than the Riverside Retreat cabin!

The minute you exit your car, you will enjoy the rushing sounds of the river right in your backyard. Make s'mores by the firepit, fish right off your back deck, play in the water, go tubing down the river, play an arcade game in the recreation room or lounge in the 7-person hot tub overlooking the river. After a day of fun, throw some burgers on the grill and eat on the outdoor dining table while soaking up the amazing views of the river from the back porch overlooking the river and the 2000 acres of wildlife management area across the river - nothing but nature!

This luxury cabin has many unique upgrades including kitchen with quartz countertops/ stainless appliances and exquisite stonework. It boasts 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a loft (with 2 twin beds) with all the bells and whistles. Perfect for a couple's retreat or for a small family of 6 get-away.

So many things to do close by, fish from the deck, swimming/rafting/kayaking/tubing down the river, enjoy local wineries, pick apples from the nearby orchards, hike or bike the many area trails, shop and dine in the adorable downtown Ellijay and Blue Ridge.

Enjoy apple harvest time with the Georgia Apple Festival (October) and family activities including petting zoos, tours, corn mazes, u-pick orchards at local apple houses, local farm markets and the charming small towns of Ellijay and Blue Ridge with shopping and some of the best restaurants around!

Relaxing family weekend
We loved our stay for the weekend at this beautiful home. It had everything we needed. Enjoyed the fire pit on the deck at night, throwing a fishing rod in the river right off the deck during the day, traveling to Ellijay just 5 mins away. Communication from the owner was wonderful from checkin to checkout. We would definitely stay again.

Riverside Retreat
It was just my husband and I and our pups. I fell in love with the photos of this cabin right away. I could see us taking full advantage of the wonderful outdoor space. It did not disappoint. The cabin itself is cozy with a wood burning fireplace that we took full advantage of that morning we awoke to 27 degrees! Easily could have accommodated another couple. If you have kids the upstairs is so well done with a sitting area, TV, beds, bath and all kinds of games. The kitchen is well appointed, we were there for a week and did not eat out once. (we could have town is a short drive away with fast food and local restaurant choices). The outside deck area is divine. Comfortable seating areas, gas fire pit, gas grill, hot tub...and the view is a nature lovers dream. I didn't get much reading done as the sound of the rushing water the fall leaves and bird watching kept my interest. We were even visited by a bald eagle that landed in the tree top directly across the river. I would most definitely stay here again, the host is very friendly and communicates well.

Great weekend getaway!
Looking to celebrate my mom's birthday, my sister and I were tasked with finding the perfect river cabin to spend the weekend. There were so many rental options to choose from, but I can honestly say I think we made the best choice by choosing this property! You're literally on the river and can enjoy the outdoors from the multiple deck options or even from the living area indoors with the huge sliding glass door! The host was more than accommodating, and we had everything we needed to have the perfect birthday weekend. Hoping to return soon, I'd highly recommend this property if you're looking to spend some time relaxing on the river!
