This was our second stay at Rocky River Lodge, and it was every bit as wonderful as the first! We rented both cabins with my side of the family and had such an amazing time together. 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!

This place is beyond fantastic! The view of the water is unbelievable, the place on the creek to swim and tube is terrific, and there are loads of activities. This is a gem of place to stay!Literally the only downside I can think of was that we couldn’t figure out how to get good old fashioned cable on any of the TV’s. There were like 900 bizarre channels but the classic cable TV package could not be found, so trying to watch playoff baseball and football required a laptop and an HDMI cord.That’s literally the only low note I’ve got - I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Hamilton and Ian Hamilton

Host profile image
Hi, my name is Sarah Hamilton. Our family recently purchased our second cabin "Rocky River Lodge" which is the sister cabin located next door to Riverstone Lodge. We as a family have been upgrading the two cabins trying to make the two best destinations around. Being somewhat local living in Douglasville we still enjoying getting away the North Georgia Mountains!

Why they chose this property

In all our travels in North Georgia we could not find any other cabin with its location on the water that gave us the feel and sound of the rushing waters! And the fact its in a gated community of the Coosawattee River resort allows for a safe and enjoyable environment. The cabin its self is located on a wide river with many beautiful rapids, which allows for canoeing, kayaking, and tube trips. And you cannot forget the fishing and swimming! That's why we now have both sister cabins!

What makes this property unique

The cabin has just about everything you could imagine! We offer at no charge canoes and tubes. Many renters put in above us up the river and float down to our back yard! We have a basket ball court, volleyball court, horse shoes and shuffle board, 7 person hot tub along with incredible views and a water presence second to none. And then you have the game room with a pool table, ping pong, and foosball tables! You will be entertained and laid back. And if you still need the flat screen tv's and internet we have that too!

On top of that, we have another "sister cabin" owned and operated by the same people. If you are looking to have a larger gathering , book both of our properties easily.
