About this cabin rental
If, at this moment, you were standing on our deck, with the gentle rapids of the Toccoa flowing beneath you, not only the tranquility of the setting but also the charm of an original A-frame would beckon you to stay. Imagine there being
crackling wood in the woodburning stove, or fresh caught trout frying on the stovetop, preparations being made to tube down the river or enjoyable peaceful moments in the hot tub. The firepit is ready to toast marshmallows, tell tall tales, or spin some yarn, as they say here and warm the soul.The sounds of the river will heighten your senses in the morn and lull you to sleep at night. Just breathe, relax, and enjoy.

8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2026
Not great for elderly or young children, otherwise good. The winding stairs to the loft and upper bedroom are tight and dark, making it kind of scary to get to the downstairs bathroom at night. The 2nd bathroom is outside under the house, which isn't great with little kids in the winter. But that's probably a great feature in the summer. Overall, the cabin is way too dark in the winter. I will say that the host was incredibly friendly. It also appears that some concerns from previous reviews had been addressed. For example, the toilet seemed new, the fire pit was in great shape, and the cabin was clean (desperately needs a new couch though). All appliances and electronics worked. We enjoyed our stay!

You cannot beat this stunning location on the river. Cabin is cozy and rustic and I do believe it has the best river bank on the road!

My family had the most magical getaway at this charming riverside cabin. We played in the river, warmed up in the hot tub, saw fireflies dancing in the yard, rested and repeated each day of our stay. It was wonderful!
6 / 10Average·Dec 2025
We were there from the 23rd-26th not a single a Christmas decoration to be had. Stairs to the loft weren't safe, banisters lose, no lighting, twenty-eight years old & fell down once. Hot tub not clean, slimy, leaves & debris. Beds uncomfortable, pillows flatter than a flitter. Couches are in desperate need of replacing, no comfort to be had. Parking situation is the pits. Lighting throughout wasn't great. Bathtub slippery, bathroom pretty dark. No carpeting or rugs, floors pretty dirty. Thankfully it is located in such a stunning area, spent an awful lot of time enjoying the quiet solitude.
