About this cabin rental
Beautiful, completely renovated, small rustic cabin is situated DIRECTLY on the Cartecay River and located only 6 miles from downtown Ellijay, you cannot get any closer than the Riverside Retreat cabin!
The minute you exit your car, you will enjoy the rushing sounds of the river right in your backyard. Make s'mores by the firepit, fish right off your back deck, play in the water, go tubing down the river, play an arcade game in the recreation room or lounge in the private 7-person hot tub overlooking the river. After a day of fun, throw some burgers on the grill and eat on the outdoor dining table while soaking up the amazing views of the river from the back porch overlooking the river and the 2000 acres of wildlife management area across the river - nothing but nature!
This luxury cabin has many unique upgrades including kitchen with quartz countertops/ stainless appliances and exquisite stonework. It boasts 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a loft (with 2 twin beds) with all the bells and whistles. Perfect for a couple's retreat or for a small family of 6 get-away.
So many things to do close by, fish from the deck, swimming/rafting/kayaking/tubing down the river, enjoy local wineries, pick apples from the nearby orchards, hike or bike the many area trails, shop and dine in the adorable downtown Ellijay and Blue Ridge.

Great little cabin. Has everything you need and more. Great spot to either hit the river to cool off or do a little fishing or just relax. Kids loved the loft area and definitely enjoyed the river. Very quiet and clean location.

Had a wonderful, relaxing time. The cabin is as described. The river is gorgeous and the host is very attentive. Thank you again, Kristen

Our family of 5 plus our golden retriever had an amazing stay in June! Hanging out all day in the river, fishing sun up to sun down (even though we caught nothing - it was still a blast), the hot tub, s’mores on the firepit and grilling lunch & dinner were a huge hit. My boys played kickball on the turf and games upstairs in the loft. The stairs are more for younger or fit adults (I made it!), and our 8/6/4 year olds loved being upstairs. This cabin was amazing and we look forward to coming back again. We went to Mercier Farms to pick berries and DT Blue Ridge. Once the sun went down the bugs came out, but we loved seeing the fireflies in the forest across the way. We couldn’t imagine NOT staying at this cabin on the river. We will be back to stay again! Thanks so much for a memorable summer vacation.

We had an amazing time. The deck was an amazing space for us to spread out and enjoy the outdoors. The owner was prompt and responsive any time we reached out, and it was so nice to have the ingredients for s'mores waiting for us when we arrived.
