Nestled amidst breathtaking natural beauty, this enchanting retreat offers unparalleled serenity and seclusion. Immerse yourself in the soothing sounds of the river as you unwind on the spacious deck, or indulge in pure relaxation in the cozy interior. With elegant furnishings, modern amenities, and stunning views from every corner, this is the perfect destination for an unforgettable getaway.

DOG- While we do allow ONE dog it must be 50 pounds or less and at least 2 years old. We require the completion of our Dog Form which includes uploading a Vet Health Certificate confirming the dog's breed, age, weight, and that its vaccinations are current along with a photo of the dog. Note that there is a pet fee of $35/night with a $70 minimum charge per stay. Also, we reserve the right to restrict certain breeds.

Enjoy all this from a five-star cabin that includes details such as professional hair care products by Paul Mitchell, luxurious bedding and towels, a fully stocked gourmet kitchen, a game room with Shuffleboard and Foosball, an outdoor game room with Ping Pong, a movie room with a 65" Smart TV/Sound Bar/DVD/Blu-ray player, two fireplaces(one firepit) to choose from, a wide assortment of board games, poker set, cards, a luxury Bull Frog Hot Tub with lounge seat, 3 king masters with balconies overlooking the river. You simply will not find a nicer cabin in a more idyllic setting.

The game room on the lower level along with the loft gaming area provide two additional twin size day beds with trundles in each location.

You will enjoy access to the entire home and nearly 1,000 feet of private riverfront as we own two additional lots and three adjacent homes. This includes a large grass area with a horseshoe court!

Note that our base rate is for 4 people and that the rate increases $15 per night per each additional Guest up to 8 total Guests or an additional $60 per night. This allows us to offer a more reasonable rate for smaller parties.

Finally, any reservations made within 48 hours of the arrival date will be subject to a $25 priority processing fee that is required by our security department.

Beautiful getaway from the city
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The High Life Lodge! The house was perfectly appointed with everything we could need, extremely comfortable, and the views and location can’t be beat. Our host was easy to contact and very helpful with the check-in process. It was the perfect getaway from our busy life, and we cannot wait to return!

Birthday Getaway
The host was easy to communicate with and everything was as described. It’s a great size for several people with plenty of extra space if people want to just be in a quiet spot to read or enjoy the decks. He was also very accommodating for pets. Bring good hiking shoes or boots for the walk down to the river. The hot tub also got a lot of use and was very clean. And do not pass up on the apple pie if he offers… it was really good.

Beyond Impressed - Best Vacation Ever!
The cabin in Ellijay, GA, was absolutely perfect in every way. Before I go into the cabin amenities, I would like to note that the host, Brad, was great to work with, communication was top-notch, and everything was detailed to the "T" to ensure a pleasant, stress-free experience. The cabin was clean and had an outstanding balance of modern style and a traditional farmhouse cabin feel. Outside of food and drinks, literally everything you needed was provided. The beds were very comfortable, and there were plenty of sleeping options. My kids, 12 and 8, really enjoyed the playroom, separate living area, and hot tub. The cabin's backside and the river views were nothing short of breathtaking. If you're a nature lover, this cabin is a dream come true. We found ourselves drawn to the river three times a day, captivated by its beauty. The river and the views were like a living, breathing Thomas Kinkade painting, a sight to behold. Lastly, the little things will make your trip enjoyable, like the friendly folks in town, the neighborhood dear that will greet you daily, and the fresh southern apple pie on your arrival. If you need a specific call to action after this review, here it is... book this cabin!

About the host

Hosted by Brad Bruckman

Host profile image
I come from the hospitality industry with over 30 years hosting Guests in various capacities. I fell in love with Ellijay and the North GA Mountains and purchased a home here in 2015. I decided that I wanted to continue my hospitality career via sharing this lovely place with others. No big management company here, Guests work directly with me as the owner and I promise you will be well taken care of. I look forward to hosting you soon.

Why they chose this property

What past Guests say is what is most important: "Our family of four (me, my husband, 8 year old and 6 year old children) had such a wonderful time at this property!!! It’s by far the cleanest VRBO we’ve ever stayed in and the amenities were amazing! So grateful for a place that has hand soap at every sink! Brad was so kind to bring us an apple pie to welcome us-and was so attentive throughout our stay! The river was perfect for our kids to “fish” and we used the fire pit every night for family time! Air hockey was also a huge hit!!! We enjoyed horseback riding in nearby Mineral Bluff, hiking to see the rock fire tower, antiquing, eating at The Pink Pig and visiting the local animal rescue-“Build an ark animal rescue”. We saw about 50 deer throughout our stay within the neighborhood! It was a perfect stay and we plan to visit again during warmer months! Thanks Brad!!!"

"This cabin (and owner) are amazing! It’s truly the cleanest cabin, with the best beds and linens. It has literally everything you need from Coffee makers, Kueregs, pots and pans, bathroom necessities, and so much more. Nothing is done cheaply. If we don’t buy our own ellijay cabin, we will definitely be back!!"

"Perfect fall get away! After months of quarantine and then homeschool we all really look forward to this fall getaway, and Brad’s place was perfection, everything you need is at this house, Theres activities outside and tons to do inside, but most importantly it’s quiet and peaceful he’s done a beautiful job with this house"

"A Wonderful Place! We absolutely loved staying here. RR Lodge is private, quiet, peaceful and the sound of the river was so relaxing. Kitchen was well stocked and bedrooms were so comfortable. The kids loved downstairs and everything it had to offer. We played in the river, enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit daily. Brad is a great host! So easy to work with and very accommodating. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Can't wait for our next visit!"

What makes this property unique

Sitting high above the river, you are surrounded by the peaceful tranquility of flowing water. It is a beautiful spot.
