Our Family had such a great time at this cabin. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need for cooking, the beds in each room were so comfortable, with great lounging areas upstairs and downstairs, but our favorite part was the River in front of the cabin. We loved it so much we spent all our time there. We enjoyed floating down the River too.

Every thing was well organized, and had an awesome experience having the river infront of us. But the only issue we had was with all the dog hair and dust all over the floors , bedding and furniture. If we are being charged a cleaning fee we expected more . Thanks for having us at your place

Wonderful experience in this cabin. Kitchen is very well stocked and little things like small blankets on every couch/chair made the cabin cozy and comfortable. The lower floor gave us a perfect combination of privacy and connection with rest of cabin. My husband and I stayed there and the floor felt like an apartment with its own living area. Too cold for tubing but will be back to experience that as well.

Beautiful property with all the amenities you could ask for. River tubing bonfires deer everywhere and just an hour or so from home. Downtown Elijay has been transformed over the years and is worth a visit for lunch or dinner. Do consider this home for your future getaway.

We absolutely loved the cabin, it has a beautiful view and booking was a breeze. The host was very responsive and hospitable. The cabin itself was well maintained, clean and roomy. This is the perfect place if you are looking for some peace and quiet to reconnect with nature while big enough to host a large group. We will definitely be back!

Amazing property, with a lot of room for a big group. Love the well stocked kitchen and the fine decoration. Please follow Ann’s instructions regarding the address. If you have never been in Coosawattee River Resort, getting there may be tricky, specially at night. I have ATT and lost service in the resort area. We all enjoyed the fire pit and the super easy access to the river. We saw a lot of deers too! I highly recommend this property and thank Anna and her husband for the hospitality.

On two connecting lots of direct riverfront. One lot has greenspace and the other is nicely shaded. Bring your hammocks and relax on top of the rushing water.
