Rivershire Cottage | Ellijay, GA
Not your typical log cabin, this beautiful and unique property has all the feeling of a cozy cottage, but plenty of space for your group to relax and enjoy life on the river. Nestled on the banks of the Coosawattee River, you get the feeling of stepping back in time as you enter. This home is modeled after a historic Appalachian farmhouse with shiplap walls, whitewashed ceilings and wide plank pine floors. With a gourmet kitchen and ample seating, the kitchen and great room is undoubtedly the heart of the home. Open up the French doors to the large screened porch and let the sounds of the river wash over you while you watch the birds and deer visit. Stroll down to the back yard, where you'll find a hot tub, cedar barrel sauna and firepit area with Adirondack chairs. Enjoy the private beach located right on the river, where you can launch your kayak, go tubing down the Coosawattee or just play in the sand. When the day comes to an end, enjoy a movie on the terrace level with a gas fireplace and game room. Every bedroom is beautifully decorated with tranquil decor that will quickly dissolve your stress away. The cabin is located in a private gated community just minutes from downtown Ellijay and 15 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge.

Beautiful home and location
Property and the home was lovely. Beds were very comfy which is huge for us. Lots of games and activities. Convenient to Ellijay. Kitchen was well stocked. Adorable décor. The home is advertised as 3 bathrooms. Its actually 2.5 baths (3 toilets and 2 showers)..But the home itself is lovely, well stocked and the screened porch is amazing. . But we did see deer and lots of wild life. Fenced yard is wonderful for a pet also, Nice family time.

We will be back!
What a great spot right by the water! The home was absolutely gorgeous and was even decorated for Christmas, which made everyone there so happy! The firepit and inside fireplaces were perfect for the cold weekend and we loved the outdoor seating/swings! This place is a cozy, yet spacious, cottage to go hideway for the weekend :) Thanks for having us!
