About this cabin rental
Welcome to Your Private Island Retreat on the Cartecay River
Step into serenity at Cartecay Island Cabin, where the river flows just steps from your door—and your very own island awaits. Whether you're soaking in the hot tub, exploring the private island, or relaxing on the screened porch, your peaceful mountain escape begins the moment you arrive.
Inside, you’ll find everything you need for comfort and connection—from a fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops and a stocked coffee bar, to cozy living spaces with flat-screen TVs, a gas log fireplace, and a full-house music system that plays inside and out.
Looking for fun? Head upstairs to the loft game zone with giant bean bags, a pool/foosball table, puzzles, and retro gaming—perfect for kids or the kid-at-heart.
Outdoors, the options are endless:
• Lounge on the screened porch with a drink from the mini-fridge
• Swing gently in the hammock chairs under the deck
• Soak in the hot tub with river sounds in the background
• Cross the bridge to your private island and sit by the river
• Roast s’mores around the fire pit (wood not provided)
• Plug in your EV with the on-site charger
• Or simply listen to the river as you unwind in a rocking chair

First and foremost, I highly recommend staying at Deals! Riverfront Island! Heather is the best host! If I could have given her more stars, I definitely would Our trip was cut short due to the extreme winter storm. Heather was in touch with us from the time the warning was issued. She wanted to make sure that we were aware of storm coming. She let us know of the items that she had at the house that may come in handy with any snow and possible power outage. She even let us know that if we were unable to checkout at the time/date we were scheduled, she would work with us until it was safe for us to leave. Unfortunately, we decided to leave early so that we would be able to get back home. If I wasn't worried about getting back home safely, I would have loved to be stuck at this cabin. It was absolutely beautiful. She thought of absolutely everything one might need or want while staying here. My daughter and her friend were able to take a short hike. Since we cut our trip short, we didn't get to anywhere in Elijay. I think that I would have been perfectly fine hanging out at the cabin. There are plenty of activities to do at the cabin and the views are absolutely beautiful. I will definitely stay here again.

This cabin was everything shown and more. We had the BEST time! We loved being right on the river. It was such a relaxing trip. Heather was a great host and was available to answer any questions we had.

Great Cabin! We floated he Cartacay one day and the Toccoa the next. Kitchen was well equipped, and the Island added so much to the experience.

Extremely clean place, it was exactly as shown in the photos, centrally located and a quick drive to everything. Beautiful inside and was a very relaxing place to stay . The bridge and private island was very nice. It was very comfy and perfect! Highly recommend 💯
