Perfect Getaway

Date of Stay: 04/23/12 Review Submitted: 05/04/12

This cabin has the "WOW" factor! It is fabulous both inside and out. It is equipped for fun...not only did it have the ping pong table, pool table, fire pit and stream but a fantastic game cabinet, a complete selection of DVDs and an impressive variety of books. If you enjoy trout fishing and a beautiful stream, this is the place for you. Everything was as advertised(neat, clean and complete) and the owners were extremely kind. We have been renting cabins for well over ten years and rate this home as one of the best! You will NOT be disappointed.

Memories for a lifetime

Guest: Grenuda (Tampa, Florida)
Date of Stay: 04/05/12 Review Submitted: 04/09/12

I am at the point of my life where spending time with my family & close friends is cherished and most important. Words cannot explain the joy & satisfaction I have with the beautiful cabin Jan has opened up for my family. The cabin had all of the mountain top features but yet all of the modern amenities one can ask for. Our kids felt right at home the minute we arrived and I felt like a kid the second I walked in. The views from the cabin which is tucked away in the edge of the hill next to the river are amazing. Listening to the rushing river while roasting marsh mellows was almost unreal. I cannot think of one thing the home didn’t have to offer. It’s my first day back from Ellijay and I’m already planning for my next trip. No need to look any further. This cabin is perfect for whatever type of getaway you are seeking.

Owner response:Thank you so very much for your wonderful comments! I am so glad that you all enjoyed your stay. It's an absolute pleasure to share our cabin with you. I look forward to your next visit! Thanks again for choosing our cabin for your time away with family and friends! Warm Regards, Jan

Cabin!

Date of Stay: 02/03/12 Review Submitted: 02/10/12

We have been renting cabins since 2001 and this is by far the best one we have ever been to! We had everything we needed and more already supplied for us there, making it stress free and relaxing! The view and the sound of the stream was beautiful and we actually caught 7 fish! The ones that weren't fishing got to watch from the gorgeous deck that looked directly down to the stream. Everything was amazing and the owners made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be coming back again next year around this time! We all had an incredible adventure!

Owner response:Thank you Debbie. I'm so glad you guys were able to catch some fish!Thanks for the beautiful table runner that you left as a gift for the cabin. We love it! It's so nice when folks leave a little piece of themselves at the cabin for future guests. Thanks again for your thoughtfulness and for choosing our cabin for your getaway weekend!

Pure Gold!

Guest: Rick and Sally (Polk City, Florida)
Date of Stay: 01/01/12 Review Submitted: 01/20/12

This was a return visit for us to this wonderful cabin. It feels like home, not a rental. It's the best cabin we have ever visited. The privacy and the beautiful, rocky mountain stream make for a truly relaxing get away, and the hospitality from Jan and Roy could not have made us feel more at home. Some previous guests had mentioned that they found a gold nugget while panning for gold in the stream, so we tried our luck this time and had great fun, but found no gold. Maybe next time. The pure gold moments for me were while warming my feet by the fire pit in the evening with the family.

Owner response:Thanks for your kind comments Sally. I'm so glad you all had a nice time. Looking forward to your next visit!

Relaxing and stress free weekend

First visit to the Ga Mts. and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit at this cabin. First experience with VRBO and I must say I was quite impressed. The owners made us feel relaxed and eager to share their cabin with us. The Cabin was just as advertised, very relaxing and enjoyable weekend. The weekend flew by and my wife is already planning on a return visit to this cabin. Thank you to the owners for allowing us to visit and share the beautiful stream and peacefulness of your place.

Owner response:Thanks so much, Bob! We are thrilled that your stay at our cabin was as relaxing and enjoyable as you had hoped! Can't wait for you guys to visit again soon.

Great Weekend Getaway

Date of Stay: 11/04/11 Review Submitted: 11/14/11

We stayed in the cabin for the weekend and it was amazing. You can hear the creek below from the deck and it was so relaxing. The cabin was clean and well stocked and we had everything that we needed. There was more than enough space. It was also an easy drive into the property. My only regret is that I wish I had stayed longer. I hope that I get to return soon. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience.

Owner response:Thank you Jody! I'm glad you guys had a nice time. Your only regret is the same as ours, we never want to leave either! Thank you again for your wonderful comments.

This property was awesome. It had everything it listed and the photos were recent and accurate. It was very clean and well stocked on kitchen wear. It even had firewood for the fireplace and fire pit. The hot tub was clean and new. It was ready to be used and very spacious. It also has a nice ping pong table. I would absolutely recommend it!!!

Owner response:Thanks so much!! I appreciate your very kind words and I'm sooo glad you enjoyed your stay!

Fantastic Autumn weekend!

Guest: Calvin (Atlanta)
Date of Stay: 11/04/11 Review Submitted: 11/07/11

Wow! What a peaceful, restful, fun-filled weekend! I loved the sound of the river and the sights and smells of the mountain and the 8 rocking chairs and the hot tub and the HUGE decks and the firepit next to the river and the game room. Very thoughtfully appointed (the dogs really enjoyed the chew toys), comfortable, and spacious house with tons of usable indoor and outdoor space, and such an easy 90 minute drive from Atlanta. The house was immaculately kept, the beds were really comfortable and the linens and towels were extra soft. The rocking chairs on the porches got LOTS of use. It was kind of like being a kid in a really decked out treehouse. I recommend this property wholeheartedly without reservation! Thanks:)

Owner response:Thank you so much for your very kind comments!!! I'm so happy that you all enjoyed your weekend at the cabin. It really is a pleasure to share it with wonderful folks like you!

We hated to leave on check out day. We loved this cabin. It has everything as described and more. We wanted to stay forever. Everything was wonderful, both inside and outside of the cabin. The big, rocky, noisy stream was the highlight of the place for me. I could sit and read by that stream for days. I fished a little and did catch a couple trout, one big one! We were very happy to have found this great cabin and are already planning our next visit.

Owner response:Thank you! Glad you were able to catch some fish! We stocked the stream in April and have been so happy to see that the stream is the perfect natural habitat for beautiful browns and rainbows. Thanks again for your kind comments. We look forward to your next visit to Rushing Waters Escape!

Perfect for Mix of Ages

Guest: beach people in the woods (Houston, Texas)
Date of Stay: 05/29/11 Review Submitted: 06/20/11

The cabin suited us very well and was clean. The owner was helpful and honest. She responded quickly to all our questions. Our group included two young children, my sister, my brother, and my husband and me. We traveled 15 hours to get to the cabin and it was worth it. We wanted somewhere quiet, but not boring. The cabin was suited for lazy afternoons reading or actively exploring the trails. The children enjoyed the large porch where we could let them play under the trees. Supervised hikes were perfect for the four-year-old. The sleeping accommodations worked well; every family member had his/her own space. There were baby gates available to protect the toddler from the stairs. The kitchen was well stocked and the grill was clean. There was a nice selection of games and even a toddler puzzle. Anything we didn't find, we could easily get at the stores in Ellijay. Ellijay was perfect for restaurants, pharmacies, grocery stores, urgent care, and doing some shopping in the little stores. It is close enough to be convenient to the cabin. This was the perfect family vacation. We cannot wait to return. As our children age, there are plenty of activities to take advantage of in addition to everything we enjoyed this visit.

Perfect!

Wow! We loved the cabin. There were two couples with us. Plenty of room for everyone, great setting. Love the rushing waters, cabin is aptly named. You cannot be stressed in this cabin. The place was clean and well stocked in the kitchen. Will definitely return. My wife says she's bringing her yoga mat next time to have the maximum zen experience. Great hiking trails nearby, cool town square in Ellijay, good grocery store that owner recommended. Don't think this place could be any better for someone who's looking to get away from it all! We were not ready to leave on the checkout date.

We visited Rushing Waters Escape in February and loved every minute of it. The cabin was even better than the pictures! And the cabin certainly has the perfect name, the very noisy, rushing creek waters just make all of your cares melt away! My husband and I, along with our sons and two of their friends, stayed for the week. We had plenty of space for everyone. The boys had their own space on the terrace level and my husband and I bunked on the upper level. We would all gather on the main level by the lovely fireplace. We stayed in most nights and cooked some great meals together in the spacious kitchen that had everything we needed. Even with the hot tub, pool table, xbox, and ping pong table, the boys spent lots of time in the evenings by the fire pit at the creek. They all keep asking when we will go back to Rushing Waters Escape. We will definitely visit this beautiful cabin again.

Just Like Heaven!

Guest: Aussie (Queensland, Australia)
Date of Stay: 11/22/10 Review Submitted: 02/06/11

My husband and I travelled from Australia stayed here for 8 nights in November for the Thanksgiving week. We also had my elderly parents who live in Georgia with us for the stay. My mom's quote as we were packing up to leave the cabin was "I just took a trip to heaven, and I didn't even have to die!" It was great for them, as even with limited mobility, they could experience all the beauty of the cabin since they could access one of the full length porches to look at the beautiful river below. On the same level was a bedroom, bathroom, laundry and kitchen. No stair climbing necessary. It was a great plus for us when we were making our decision to book. Oh, and the fireplace was so lovely to have. The place is so large it would easily be a great spot for families with children also. Everyone can have their own level! We enjoyed trying our hand at fishing in the creek (no luck, but fun anyway), and we tasted many apple treats at the nearby orchards. What a magical place Ellijay is. Had a wonderful time and made memories there we will never forget. It is truly an amazing cabin with all the comforts of home. Wish we could have stayed longer and are looking forward to revisiting some day!

Surrounded by only Peace & Quiet

We absolutely loved this cabin. We had such a lovely, relaxed time to catch up among 4 dear friends. Everything you could possibly need was there. The decks are fabulous...we stayed in our p.j's until 3pm one day just sitting on the fabulous porch rocking & reminiscing. The fire pit by the river was so beautiful at night (bring a starter log)...we sat down there way too late, but just couldn't leave it! This experience from inquiry to check out could not have been more pleasant! Thank you for sharing this haven...we will definitely be back...you will not be disappointed!! THANKS

Owner response:Thank you so much Nancy! It is an absolute pleasure to share the cabin with folks like you who love it as much as we do. So glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next visit!

Made a spur of the moment trip to Ellijay with my wife. We enjoyed the cabin and creek very much. We had everything we needed and more. Really liked sitting by the creek with a warm fire on the very cold nights. Also enjoyed the hiking in the area. The cabin was just great overall, very private feel, but close and convenient to restaurants and town when we did not want to cook. Really liked the Historic Square in Ellijay. Real old town feel. We highly recommend Rushing Waters Escape.
