About this property

- Master suite opens to a screened porch where you can hear the water.
- 12 x 16 tent platform, next to the creek, for kids or adults that want more of an outdoor experience. Bring your tent!

-A dog park for small and large dogs.
- Gated resort security.
- Free Wi-Fi. Fiber internet if you have to work remotely.
- Cable Television.
- Easy access to the cabin (within a mile of the gate)
Note: We do NOT have a hot tub due to sanitation issues. There is no way to safely do one in a rental. Enjoy the three pools which includes an indoor heated pool & Kiddo pool at the rec center instead.
Eagle Creek Hideaway is situated in a private valley and sits right on Flat Creek. You can sit on the screened-in porch and listen to the fast-flowing creek, or it is an easy walk down to the water where you can enjoy a fire next to the creek. There are several sitting areas, and a swing along the creek, where you can just listen and view nature at its best.
Our cabin is a great place to just get away and relax in seclusion. The cabin is decorated with a lot of thought put into the mountain experience. There are hardwood floors throughout. Vaulted wood ceilings with exposed beams and skylights that let in natural light. The master bedroom opens onto the screened in porch, so on cool nights you can open the door and let the sounds of the creek soothe you to sleep. You can kick back with a book and relax in peace. The only noise you hear is the fast-flowing creek and an occasional hawk. Hawks like to catch the updraft from the wind blowing through the valley and over the ridge tops. To stay connected the cabin has complimentary fiber internet (Wi-Fi) and cable television. Of course, staying connected to the outside world is always optional.
Eagle Creek Hideaway is located in Coosawattee River Resort (CRR) in North Georgia near Ellijay. CRR is a gated 6500-acre resort that the Coosawattee River flows through. There are many amenities to be enjoyed in CRR while renting our cabin including 3 swimming pools, (2 outdoor and 1 indoor heated pool), game room, large well-equipped gym, 18-hole putt putt, tennis courts, basketball courts, stocked fishing pond (no license req). The Rec center and pools are accessible for a nominal fee. There are several parks along the Coosawattee River with playgrounds and picnic tables. You can also take a chance at catching some big trout that the Coosawattee River is known for.
Eagle Creek Hideaway is also a great central location if you want adventure, with easy access to the main road (less than 1 mile from gated entrance) where all the mountain adventures await. Many stores from big, to small town locally owned stores will have anything you should need. Restaurants are very abundant from your common chain restaurants to local favorites. There are small ice cream shops, bars, and soda shops close by. Everything you need to make great memories that will last a lifetime.
The cabin has easy access. The roads to our cabin are paved, and our driveway is paved from the road down to the level parking area. We strive to make our cabin the most enjoyable experience possible. Please take time to read our reviews. Thanks for looking.

Such a beautiful property! Everything was so clean and comfortable, and immediately felt like home. You can tell Brian has put a lot of love into the place - he was a great host. We loved being right on the creek and enjoyed the fire pit and swing.

Wonderful place to get away and relax. The house was perfect for our family of 6 plus our dog. Can’t beat the creek flowing in the background as you relax on the screened in porch or at the fire pit. The rec center and pools were fabulous too. (be prepared for a steep driveway, but manageable for our vehicle.)Host was fabulous too. Prompt reply on any inquiries. On our list for a repeat visit someday.

Relaxation

When we head for the North Georgia mountains, our primary goal is rest and relaxation. And this place provided it. The sounds of the creek and the views of the Creek or just what the doctor ordered. The fire pit was a nice size with plenty of seating. The screen room was perfect for morning coffee and outdoor eating.

Very relaxing and awesome time!

We went here to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary and had an awesome time! The cabin was everything as advertised. It is veey clean, well furnished and comfortable. We mostly enjoyed sitting at the fire pit next to the stream, which you can hear the water running from the screened porch at the cabin. Veey much worth the money and we definitely plan on returning.

Relaxing cabin getaway

This is the second time we've stayed here in the last four years. The creek in the back of the house with covered and screened-in porch is the main reason we returned. The sound is incredibly relaxing and a huge change of scenery from where we live in the Midwest. Our kids loved playing along the creek and enjoyed the rec center as well. Love this place and look forward to coming back again in the future.

Best getaway!

My family needed to get unplugged. For a whole week we were device free. And there was no better place to do that than here. My kids played in the creek, played games, or read books all week. It was quiet and relaxing. A must see !

The house was wonderful. The creek was very peaceful and relaxing. Don’t expect to catch any fish but do expect to see a lot of wildlife. Wish we had known the pools were not open and the Marina was closed.

Amazing creek front location.

We booked to spend a weekend viewing property for sale, we would come back every evening/afternoon to the wonderful sound of the rushing creek. I did make us determined to find a place in north Georgia. We actually located a home in Blue Ridge on a similar creek and have it under contract. The owner Brian, was quick and responsive! Loved the location! Thank you!

Excellent Property

Brian was extremely helpful in getting back to us whenever we had any questions. The property was extremely well maintained and everything we needed was readily available. The wifi was a bit slow than normal, but that's the whole point of the getaway, to spend time away from communication. Close proximity to Walmart, Lowes, CVS Pharmacy, and some restaurants. One thing to note is we saw 2 snakes near the stones by the creek, but they were harmless, we just watched as they went about their business and we, ours. Overall, really enjoyed the experience and would recommend for anyone looking for a quick weekend getaway!

kids loved exploring the water & rocks

Kids (6, 10) jumped out of the car and immediately started exploring the rocks, water, teepee. Owners had everything we needed to cook & serve (spatula, measuring cups, pots, tongs, soup ladle). Indoor pool at rec center was a hit for our 2 rainy / cold days. Cash for small arcade. Panaroma Orchard nearby - bought fresh tomatoes & sourdough bread to supplement the food we brought to cook in. Backing up into the driveway worked best for us, using back up camera. Thanks for opening up your home for our family’s weekend away!

My family enjoyed this cabin so much. I was so worry about the main bedroom bad not being comfortable because of my bad knee. I slept like a baby .The screen in porch was my favorite watching the squirrels . My teenage nieces loved the game room , heated pool and pickle ball court at the resort. You can't go wrong with this cabin. Thank you Brian & family for sharing your pennies from heaven. We will be back God Bless

Great place to make memories

Our family stayed here for four nights during a baseball tournament in the Atlanta area. We were looking for a place that offered non-baseball activities between games. This place was a great choice! We enjoyed the peacefulness of the house, playing in the stream, and exploring all the resort had to offer. It is also convenient to restaurants and Walmart for necessities. We definitely hope to visit again! Brian is a great host :)

About the host

Hosted by Brian Hancock

Host profile image
We are Gina and Brian and our regular home(when we are not at home at the cabin) is in Newnan, Ga. We have adult kids. A daughter and son.

Why they chose this property

We bought this cabin in October of 2011. We love the North Georgia area and particularly the Ellijay area due to the beauty and convenience. It is the closest to metro Atlanta as you can get and still be in the mountains, and in a different world.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with our cabin when we first saw it. It is in a private valley with a fast flowing creek directly behind the house. It is in Coosawattee River resort with all the amenities you could ask for.
