Rushing Rapids at IttaBena Lodge, hot tub, 4/3.5 waterfronting trout paradise

Rushing Rapids, Fly fishing, directly on Mountaintown Creek, just steps from the cabin. Wake up to the sounds of rushing water.
Welcome to IttaBena Lodge, which means "home in the woods" where family and friends meet in Choctaw Indian language. A luxury waterfronting cabin full of rustic charm and character. Situated right on the waters of Mountaintown Creek, one of North Georgia's premier trout streams. This cabin offers everything you need for a relaxing and fun filled vacation: do as little or as much as you like!

The cabin offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, living room with wood burning fireplace & TV, fully stocked kitchen that is open to the dining room area and living room. Walk out onto the covered porch to have a beautiful meal or just rock away your day. Or spend some time on the screen porch to read or just listen to the river rushing by.

The spacious GAME ROOM in the basement offers ping pong, foosball and a separate living area with a gas fireplace & TV.

Take a stroll outside onto the patio level and find a picnic table, hot tub and a path that leads to the stone firepit area and water.

What a wonderful area to fish, tube or relax in the hammock. This is definitely a cabin you will not want to leave.

Since we are on a protected trout stream, while fishing on our property the house rules for fishing are: Fly fishing, catch and release, barbless hooks and no live bait. To provide additional security to you and our property we have installed an outdoor camera that is directed towards the woodpile by the firepit. Dog Friendly, with a maximum of 2 Dogs.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Very nice cabin. Great layout for our family of seven: grandparents, parents and 14,12 & 9 year olds. Loved the location: on a stream amongst wooded mountains yet close enough to the town of Ellijay. We enjoyed the fire pit, the sound of the rushing and the starry night sky.
