Cartecay River Dreams
This charming two-bedroom cabin perched above the Cartecay River offers a serene, rustic retreat ideal for couples, families, or small groups. Expect cozy comfort, mountain-style charm, and seamless access to one of North Georgia’s most beloved waterways.
Living Areas
Step through the front door into a warm, wood-paneled living room where comfort meets cozy charm. A plush sofa and inviting recliners gather around a soaring, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, perfect for crackling fires on crisp mountain evenings. Sunlight filters in through large windows, highlighting the knotty pine walls and creating a glowing, cabin-in-the-woods ambiance.
Just beyond the living area, a stone-paved patio beckons, complete with Adirondack chairs, a roaring outdoor fireplace, and a generous hot tub. This outdoor haven invites you to sip wine, soak your cares away under starry skies, and, later, drift away to the gentle melody of the river just below.
Kitchen / Dining Areas
The kitchen is perched at the heart of the cabin, outfitted with warm wooden cabinetry, green countertops, and all the essentials you need—stove, fridge, dishwasher, and cozy coffee setup—to whip up anything from hearty breakfasts to comforting dinners. Sun-drenched windows look out onto stands of trees, giving you a sense of immersion in the forest even as you prepare meals.
Adjacent to it, a scenic and charming dining nook centers around a timber table set for six. Whether enjoying morning coffee or hearty home‑cooked meals, views of the surrounding forest frame every moment with serene beauty.
Bedrooms / Baths
Venture to the two peaceful bedrooms on the main level. The primary bedroom features a king-size log-style bed, gently rustic décor, soft linens, and its own en-suite half bath, creating a private sanctuary after a day of mountain adventures. The second bedroom offers a queen-size bed crafted in the same log-cabin style, with soothing natural tones and tangible hints of woodland charm. A shared full bath is conveniently located nearby, completing the retreat’s thoughtful layout.
Outdoor Amenities
Outside, the cabin truly shines. A flagstone patio stretches out with Adirondack chairs, a crackling outdoor fireplace, and an oversized hot tub perched near the deck’s edge. Below the main level, wooden steps descend through forest dappled in sunlight to a private dock over the water, ideal for fly-fishing directly from the riverside, launching a kayak, or simply dipping your toes in the crystal-clear flow of the Cartecay.
In every season, these outdoor spaces take on a new magic, from summer evenings spent stargazing in the hot tub to snowy riverside views that transform every moment into a postcard-perfect escape.
Other Amenities
Practical comforts include WiFi, a washer and dryer tucked away, ensuring convenience during your stay. The cabin's pet-friendly policy allows you to bring up to two furry family members along.
