There is plenty of comfortable deck furniture for your relaxation on one of the three covered decks that overlook the river. Kick back and enjoy your first cup of coffee while listening to the sounds of rushing water, wildlife watching or “vegging” out with your favorite book. Relax…enjoy…you’re living on mountain time!
After enjoying a hardy breakfast on the outdoor dining table, spend the next few hours floating down the river or trying your luck at fly-fishing for one of those monster mountain trout! ‘Want more to do?

Map & Owner's Profile
Luxury River Vista Cabin - Coosawatte River Views on 3 Levels!
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Ellijay
We chose to buy our vacation home, River Vista, in the Coosawattee River Resort for several reasons. The first reason was the beauty of the area and in particular, the Coosawattee River. It is a very tranquil setting where we feel completely relaxed. Secondly is the proximity to the Atlanta metro area. It takes us just over an hour from our home to River Vista. Lastly, there are many things to do within the resort as well as the surrounding, quaint towns.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
Words cannot adequately describe the peaceful feeling of sitting out on one of decks, drinking your first cup of coffee in the morning or enjoying a good meal and a glass of wine in the evening with the sound of the river running in the background. There are lots of activities in the resort and surrounding area to do with kids, grandkids and friends. You can walk down to the river behind the house and drop a line in the water, float on a tube or sit around the fire pit by the river at night and roast marshmellows. We enjoy golf nearby, excursions around the area and many other activities within the resort.
Casy and Jessica have the best sandwiches, soups and desserts in the area! They make all of the breads and desserts fresh daily. Don't miss the tomato basil soup! Private catering call (706)636-4663
Enjoy some of Dennis' great Raging Cajun dishes! Your mouth will swear you're in New Orleans!

Owner's Map of Ellijay
We love the serenity of the beautiful North Georgia mountains. A mountain house along the river had been a dream for ours for some time; a place close to home where we could relax and enjoy with our family and friends.
