Great time at this cabin the access to the river is great. We saw several deer and geese. The deer were right at the back door and the geese came right up to my daughter. I would recommend this cabin.

This cabin is absolutely beautiful, inside and out. The roads up to the cabin are pretty rough, so I definitely recommend a vehicle that has good ground clearance. The kitchen is super well stocked with spices and cookware. Owners provide dish washer and laundry detergent pods, and plenty of TP. The wrap around deck with locking gates on two sides is perfect for dogs. House could use some better outside lighting. The shower on the main floor is amazing but the joints/sealant on the floor need to be redone- some places were peeling and black mold could be seen underneath. The bedroom on the bottom floor really needs a fan, kids complained they were hot. Couldn't find Fan ON option on AC dial. The bathroom on the bottom floor is in need of make-over. The glass-door shower also has spots of black mold, could use a double sink, and also needs a fan or a dehumidifier. The mini-fridge in the game room is great, but is in need of a good cleaning. Game room needs a little more lightning and the pockets of the pool table need to be replaced as most of them have been over stretched/holes, hence balls fall onto hard floor. Hot tub was super clean! Aside for the above minor issues, this cabin is excellent! Loved having a grill to cook out and the guest pass to the recreational center was a wonderful surprise- the pool was refreshing and we had no wait time for a court. The fact that the three bedrooms are on separate floors, makes it a great house for families with adult children.

Nice access to River. A bit daunting to get into the River and the owners advise caution. Nice view of the river. Bedrooms and bathrooms just fine. The lower level would be great for kids. Hot tube nice and clean. We didn't use as it was still pretty warm outside

Our stay at Rapid Retreat was great! We enjoyed being right on the river – the sound of the rapids was very soothing. The hot tub was awesome and there was plenty of porch space for us to relax together. The instructions provided by the owners were very precise and helpful. We had a great time!

The property was amazing. The river was the best for relaxing, floating, and unwinding! The beds were comfortable and the living room couch was amazing to wind down on at night. This cabin had everything we needed and we enjoyed our week stay! Communication with the owner was quick and the location cannot be beat.

Perfect “Family Fun” Cabin!

We could not have stayed in a better cabin for our family of three couples and fur babies! This was the cleanest dog friendly cabin we have encountered on VRBO!The owner, Mauricio went above and beyond with his communication and answered any, and every question that I had. Loved that each couple had their own level of privacy with the sleeping arrangements. We soooo enjoyed the deck overlooking the river. We played multiple card games, had several meals out there, enjoyed our morning coffee there, and as previously mentioned, other reviews, we saw many deer. some of my family members actually fed the deer from their hands. Night time consisted of playing pool in the basement along with karaoke from one of our daughter’s portable karaoke machine. That was quite comical. Really enjoyed playing in the river by the rapids and our son-in-law‘s enjoyed the fishing. Had tons of fun taking our tubes down the road a bit and putting in at the river and floating back to our cabin. The cabin was in great proximity to many places to visit/explore! Enjoyed hiking at Tumbling Waters Trail with our dogs and playing in the river there.We visited a few vineyards that we’ve never been to, one being Grapes and Ladder, which is less than 2 miles from the resort entrance. Buckley’s vineyards was amazing with their food trucks, live entertainment, and fireworks. Biguns barbecue was amazing and not far from our cabin. Downtown Ellijay was close by as well as liquor stores, Chick-fil-A, and Walmart.

A second stay

We first stayed here in 2024 and when we planned a return to ellijay/blue ridge we were happy to find the cabin was available again! It's spacious, well equipped, prime riverfront location and easy drive inside coosawattee and to the surrounding cities. We will definitely stay again if we make another trip to the area.

Restorative place

Brought the family here for the week. Being from Florida it was a great place to get away from the heat. Warm enough to get in the water and play in the river. It was great to enjoy nature without mosquitoes. The lightening bugs put on quite a show every night. I saw more deer in one week than I have seen in my entire life. This is truly a special place. Hope to get back soon!

Peace and Relaxation

A last minute vacation booked for the New Year Holiday couldn’t have been any better. The property was better then described. The property was superbly appointed. Communication with the property owner was stellar. Check in was effortless. The home is perfectly located next to a tranquil river. Getting warm around the fire pit with the family making s’mores on a cold night while sharing stories and listing to the sounds of the river are what dreams are mad of. My family and I had such a great time at this property and we are looking forward to many future stays. Thank you Mauricio for being such a responsive, knowledgeable and helpful host.

River Retreat

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cabin. There was plenty of room for my our family of 5 (14, 15, 16 yo kids), the kitchen and baths were well stocked, house was clean, beds comfy, in a quiet and secluded place along the river. River access was a big plus as it allowed us to do some fly fishing when it wasn’t raining. The porches are amazing with fantastic mountain and river views. The owner was very communicative and pro active with sharing information. Pet friendly with easy check I /out instructions. Coosawatee river is one of our favorite spots!

Wonderful cabin in the woods

We loved staying at this cabin! There was plenty of room for our group to eat and enjoy an evening around the fire. The beds are comfortable and 3 bathrooms made getting ready very easy and quick. We mostly enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the river go by and the numerous deer that came by each day. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
