Summary: Our stay at this riverfront house was truly unforgettable! The location couldn't be more ideal — nestled right on the riverbank, the house offered both adventure and relaxation for our whole family. One of the highlights was tubing down the gentle current with our kids; we spent hours floating, laughing, and enjoying the beauty of the water and surrounding nature.After our river adventures, we loved unwinding on the spacious porch that sits directly over the water. Whether it was sipping coffee in the morning or enjoying a glass of wine at sunset, the peaceful sound of the river flowing by made it the perfect backdrop for relaxation. The view is simply breathtaking.The house itself was clean, well-equipped, and full of charm. We felt right at home the moment we arrived. This was exactly the kind of escape we needed, and we’re already dreaming about our next visit. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful riverside retreat with a splash of family fun!

Summary: The outdoor space was amazing!! We had a lovely stay but felt that there were a few things that could have been addressed to make the appearance a little better.
Allison L. Feb 1, 2025 03:57:20 AM
Summary: This cabin was perfect for a relaxing weekend with my partner and our 2 dogs. The location is gorgeous with the deck overhanging the river, We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit, hot tub, and wood-burning fireplace inside especially. The deck has gates and is fully enclosed, which was perfect for keeping our dogs contained. This was the perfect spot for a last-minute escape without having to arrange pet sitting. The owner was very accommodating and quick to respond to our messages. Wholeheartly recommend.

Summary: The location of this property right on the water is the appeal. The sounds of the river combined with the fireplace were a Thanksgiving relaxation win. The property is within six miles of grocery, Walgreens, fast food, etc. Very convenient. The home itself has obviously been updated to it's benefit, and makes for a comfortable stay.
Kristen R. Oct 16, 2024 10:31:30 AM
Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Riverside Retreat. The cabin is well maintained and decorated, and it felt private while being close to town. We fished, roasted smores around the fire pit and ventured out for food and drink in downtown Ellijay. Owners were very responsive regarding any questions we had. Would definitely recommend!

Rickey B. May 20, 2024 01:30:41 AM
Summary: My wife always wants to stay near the water. You cant get closer than this cabin without being in the river. As soon as you pull up you can hear the water rolling. The cabin was spotless and the owners communicated continuously to ensure an easy check-in/arrival. The back porch was the highlight of our visit. The property is easy to find and convenient to Ellijay. I would fully recommended this property.

Summary: We loved our stay for the weekend at this beautiful home. It had everything we needed. Enjoyed the fire pit on the deck at night, throwing a fishing rod in the river right off the deck during the day, traveling to Ellijay just 5 mins away. Communication from the owner was wonderful from checkin to checkout. We would definitely stay again.
