About this property

Dragonfly Den - Luxury RIVERFRONT/Hot Tub/Games!!!!

Relax and get away from it all in this luxury riverfront home! The Dragonfly Den is an absolute dream of a space with activities and leisure for everyone. The outdoor area has a wonderful blend of activity and leisure. Relax on outdoor furniture under the flamelight chandelier in the gazebo at the waters edge. Maybe take a nap in the lovely cotton hammock or swing at the rivers edge with that special someone. Bring everyone together with a fantastic games area.
The space
My wife and I poured our heart and soul into creating a wonderful destination for you, your friends, and loved ones.

No other riverside rental can hold a candle to the activities and environment we have created for you to enjoy! Lighting, activities, decorations, and general ambience were all given special attention. Even the location itself was chosen due to the ability to actually "experience" the river should you choose to do so. It's fairly shallow with an adorable rapid right off the bank that you can play in or just listen to the soothing noise that you can't find at many riverside homes. The local wildlife is quite interesting and you are guaranteed to see deer and Canadian geese enjoying the river and it's surroundings. There are also blue and white herons that hunt the river along with the occasional hawk. Blue birds also typically nest in the birdhouses in the backyard in spring and early summer. Fish for trout off the bank or wade into the river and fish.

No longer will you have to settle for a simple fire pit and deck by the side of the river. The outdoor riverside activities include a dedicated, well lit, 400+ square foot synthetic turf game area for year round fun where you can play bocce ball, bean bag toss, and just really any outdoor tossing games. There's also a horseshoe court.
The gazebo has outdoor cushioned furniture and is lit by a medieval style chandelier filled with flame light bulbs to create a relaxing flickering candlelight atmosphere right by the river. There's a lovely painted swing by the river to relax in and a picnic table to pile your bountiful meals and snacks on. Several high backed chairs with cup holders are also provided so you can gather wherever the activity is at the time. Even the wifi is setup to have high speed internet all the way out into the river if you want!

We incorporated the products we love into this home such as a Komodo Joe (green egg style ceramic grill), touchless kitchen faucet, an electric kettle, dual purpose Keurig, and bidet's on all toilets. We love the family room sofa because it provides a great place to gather and relax. It creates a wonderful inclusive social environment that really adds to the experience of hanging out together with friends and loved ones.

The sitting room in the master bedroom is absolutely fantastic. You can lounge around in the day bed with a great view of the river or work at the desk while keeping an eye on little ones in the back yard. It's my absolute favorite place to work.

The loft was setup to be a semi-private 3rd bedroom and the drapes can be expanded to totally enclose the space for privacy. We also installed drapes in other areas where you might like a little more privacy once in a while.

This is not your typical bare bones sparsely decorated and equipped cabin!
You'll find a starter kit of toilet paper, paper towels, and kitchen trash bags. We provide a new kitchen sponge, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, dryer sheets, fabric softener, and laundry detergent.

In addition to a fully stocked kitchen, you’ll find the following pantry items: Coffee filters, sea salt & peppercorn grinder, sugar, and a spice rack.
Hand soap provided for each sink, along with hotel-sized shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bar soap, and a hair dryer in each bathroom.

Absolute Bliss
Our stay at the cabin was absolutely incredible. It was more than just a cabin - it was a luxurious mansion right on the water. Driving along, we passed by many beautiful homes near the water, but our cabin in Ellijay stood out as the best. The attention to detail was impeccable, with every amenity you could possibly need and more. Unlike other rentals that provide only the basics, this cabin had top-quality supplies, making cooking a breeze. Our host went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, and we are already looking forward to returning. If you're searching for a cabin that offers luxury, fun, and relaxation, look no further. From the high-quality bedding and towels to the endless amenities like kayaks, indoor and outdoor games, fire pit, swings, rocking chairs, hot tub, and hammock, this cabin has it all. Our family rated this stay a 20 out of 10, and we can't wait to experience it all over again. The memories we made at this cabin will last a lifetime, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect getaway.

Peaceful retreat!
Whether you are looking for fun, camaraderie by the fire pit, a little fun playing outdoor games, or a quiet swing by the waterfront, THIS is the place to experience it all. The beds suck you in and make you sleep like a baby! The kitchen was outfitted with everything. The hot tub will relax you. There are enough beds for many people to come. The homeowner communicates with you, makes the check-in easy, and addresses any concerns immediately.

Wow
Where to start? First off the property is beautiful. Right on the water. Flowing right outside the back door. The inside is great. You walk in the door and can smell the wood from the cabin. Everything looked great. The WiFi works great and the tvs are nice. The hot tub was a great pleasure on a cold day. I would highly recommend staying here.

PERFECTION
This house was the best rental i ever rented. The owner prioritizes the customers needs. The house was extremely clean not even a spot of dust in a corner any where. All the pots and pans and utensils you could ever need. Everything was absolutely perfect. From the lay out and all the games and activities. The hot tub was well maintained and relaxing at night. The views of the river were picture perfect. Access to tubes were a bonus. The beds were the most comfortable we've ever slept in. I can't say enough good things about this place! We are already planning our next trip back here. The owner is very accommodating and easy to communicate with. This was the best getaway ever we didn't even leave the house except once to go to town. 10/10 rating isn't even high enough! Thanks for every thoughtful accommodation!

We were looking to find a place to make wonderful family memories for years to come. My wife and I met kayaking the rivers near here and felt this spot would make a perfect getaway for friends and family to have an amazing trip together!

What makes this property unique

This luxury getaway has unmatched outdoor games and furnishings. There are so many things to do by the riverside that there's something for every person in every group.
