About this property

Riverstone: Amenity-Packed, Riverfront Retreat, 8-Person Hot Tub/Sport Court.

Our upscale cabin is located in the beautiful gated river community of Coosawattee River Resort situated directly on the river where we provide you canoes, kayaks, and tubes for your river adventure!

The cabin is outfitted with a large outdoor seven person hot tub, a game room with pool, foosball, and ping pong, and canoes and tubes for use. There are three spacious bedrooms that easily sleep 20 people, each with their own bathroom. Come and relax, you’ll never have to leave with all the amenities provided! Find out for yourself what our many loyal repeat guests have discovered about our North Georgia Mountain first-class lodge style cabin, maintained with loving care, that provide the ultimate relaxing environment for escaping the hustle and bustle of city life.

You can hear the sound of the rushing water echoing up from the river. Ellijay, Ga. is an easy, scenic 60-minute drive north of Atlanta by freeway and four-lane parkway.

Our cabin is available for rental year-round. Each season has its own unique beauty: dogwoods, mountain laurel, and rhododendron in the spring; the deep blue river with white accents, dark greens of the trees in the summer; a vast sea of hardwoods that are on fire with color in the fall; and, if you're lucky, a white blanket of snow in the winter.

Great place to stay!

We stayed here for a full week, this is such an amazing property with direct river access! We were a large group and had plenty of space to spread out. I spoke with Ian the owner of the property on our way up with great tips for our stay, you can tell he truly hopes you enjoy his property and wants you to have a great time! I highly recommend staying and will definitely choose this property again!

Beautiful Family Getaway

The cabin was just as the pictures depicted! Enough room for our big family! The kitchen was stocked with everything, you just need to bring the food! We loved the fire pit, everyone enjoyed eating s’mores and listening to the River. We even got to see deer playing in the river!

Wonderful weekend!

Once again we spent a wonderful weekend at Rocky River. It's the perfect place for a group gathering. There's ample space for all to spread out, and also enjoy meal times together. This year the weather wasn't so great but we didn't mind hanging around the well appointed cabin. Sarah and Ian are the perfect hosts and will do everything they can to help with anything that might come up. We keep on coming back every year because it's a perfect fit for our group. I highly recommend Riverstone (and for an even larger group Rocky River and Riverstone) for your next family gathering.

Amazing amazing amazing

This was the most amazing place. We brought our high school summer baseball team and they still have not stopped talking about this place and how much fun they had. So much to do and entertain. Being in the river was so incredible. We just sat out by the river and enjoyed every minute of our stay. It’s so big we never felt on top of each other either. Thank you very much!!!

Pictures Don't Do Home Justice

We were 9 guys on a guys trip and wow what a fantastic cabin nestled in the bottom of a beautiful mountain resting on the Coosawattee River. The home was clean and perfect, plenty of room to spread out with a lot of beds. The pictures truly don't do the home justice as It looks so much better in person. Just a short trip to town for good dining, shopping and many activities. We did paint ball in Blue Ridge at Blue Ridge Paint Ball which was very fun. Kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessary cookware, clean bed sheets, nice clean towels, etc. Cell service is not that great here however the WIFI worked well with all 9 of our phones plus the TVs and other WIFI capable technology on property. We hope to be back one day!

Absolutely Perfect Vacation!

Could not have ask for a nicer cabin to spend 5 days with family! So many things for the young 20 somethings to do. They loved the well lite basketball court and played until midnight! the horse shoe pit, pool table, firepit, volleyball and kayaks on the property were perfect! The fact that the kids could tube down river and jump out right in the backyard was great! There are actually 2 options for tubing, one is about a 45 minute float and the other is about 3 hours to the house. My favorite was the nice big clean hot tub and the amazing big swing on the covered deck! The beds were all so comfy! Better than home! The house was nice and clean, the appliances all looked new and the kitchen was well stocked. This place is very roomy and can comfortably fit many people. The owner was wonderful. We had a problem with the grill and he was there within an hour and repaired it. I can not say enough good about Riverstone and our stay there. There is not one single negative thing I could say about this place. We are frequent visitors of Coosawatee River resort and have stayed in quite a few cabins on the property. Hands down, this one is our favorite! We will be back!!

Sticker shock

house was clean, it is smaller than what pictures show, grill would not work, so we tried to call the numbers listed, and no one answered either of the numbers to call, had it been a real problem not sure what we would have done. my main dislike was the signs posted all over the house (inside and out) made it feel like a youth detention center, not a relaxing mountain get away. The most appalling signs were the ones on every toilet lid in the house. I mean, you have to be an adult to rent the property, please have a little respect for your guest. I rented the house for our trip, and i was embarrassed by the stickers. also take Tp with you, when they say limited, them mean what is left when others leave, we barley had enough for the first day and only had 10 people. drive from gate to house was long, so no quick trips to town. one nest chair on top deck needs replaced, and some other stuff was very worn out, also wound be nice to have some bowls with lids in the kitchen and some knives that are sharp. but the river and the hot tub and game room were very nice. all in all we had a nice time at the house.

This was our second stay at Riverstone Lodge, and it was every bit as wonderful as the first! We rented both cabins (Rocky River and Riverstone) with my side of the family and had such an amazing time together. It was wonderful having two cabins so close to each other. The setting is just perfect—nestled in the mountains and right on the river. We spent our days canoeing, kayaking, and tubing, and our evenings roasting s’mores around the fire and laughing together under the stars.It’s such a special place for making family memories, and we’re already talking about when we can come back again. Everything was clean, cozy, and beautifully maintained, and the owners clearly put a lot of care into making it a welcoming getaway. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful and fun mountain escape!

Great cabin with amazing views and close to town!

We had an amazing stay! We had a big group and we were fully accommodated the entire time. The access to the river was amazing. We had a great time utilizing the entirety of the property. The place was clean when we showed up. The owners communicated everything clearly the entrie time and were super nice. The town was not far away either with it being 20 minutes away roughly. Definitely recommend this cabin for a good time disconnecting with a small or big group.
