Webster's definition of tranquil: free from agitation of mind or spirit... free from disturbance or turmoil. Come, experience the definition...
Relax, Relax, Relax! If it's relaxation you seek... Tranquility at River's Bend has everything you need to de-stress, get tranquil, and just unwind! And the ONE-OF-A-KIND VIEWS of ~200 feet of frontage right on the river's bend are simply UNBELIEVABLE! Many more pictures available upon request & awesome 'photoshow' tour link below (or will send link upon request).
Spend some time in the outdoor hot tub as pulsating jets massage away your cares. Feel the warmth of the indoor sauna as it soothes and relaxes. Take time out to gaze at the thick trees woven and river bending around you as you sit back in a deliciously comfy rocking chair. Kick back and feel the stresses of life melt away as you lay in your cozy, extra soft, river-side hammock. Bask in total privacy while the only sound you hear is rushing water and breezes in the trees. Let your eyes glaze over as you snuggle in a blanket by the firepit watching the dancing flames. Ahhhhh, the life!
Get up and GO! If you prefer a little more activity... KAYAK, TUBE, and FISH right from the property (tubes and fishing poles provided in the cabin). HIKE trails within the Coosawattee River Resort (CRR) or one of the many other nearby trails, including the southern start of the Appalachian Trail (Georgia has nearly 80 miles of the AT running from Springer Mountain to Bly Gap, where the trail enters North Carolina). BOAT on several nearby lakes including Carters Lake and Blue Ridge Lake. SIGHTSEE just about everywhere (as one naturalist said of North Georgia, 'Scenic touring is about any road you want to travel'), including nearby Amicalola and Ruby Falls, Vogel State Park, mountain vistas (one thousand to five thousand feet) and more. Venture around the Coosawattee River Resort and enjoy miniature golf, horseback riding, pond fishing, ball sports, indoor/outdoor pools, and more or just PLAY in the cabin's game room. If visiting in the fall, be sure to taste Ellijay's delicious apples & attend the festival (Ellijay is known as the apple capital of Georgia).
Coosawatee River Resort is not your typical resort. Nestled in the woods of the north Georgia Mountains on over 8,500 acres, it's easy to forget you're even at a resort. The vast amenities are conveniently spread out, avoiding the appearance of a typical resort. Service is key as the cabin's owners have staff available to assist you with everything from providing local information, to arranging for a massage or private chef, to setting up a wine tour, to arranging daily maid service, and everything in between to help make this your vacation of a lifetime. Kayaking, canoeing, tubing, and fishing accessible right from the property's river frontage. Nice, secluded location.
Fantastic views of the rushing river from all four decks! The cabin has a luxurious yet rustic feel with amenities galore, including your own three to four person sauna, seven-person hot tub, pool table, dart board, games, puzzles, private master balcony, second master bedroom, five-star hotel mattresses, high quality linens, and more! Sleeps 8… has both king and queen 5-star hotel mattresses, 2 queen futons with Coil Comfort mattresses, and 3 twin futons (two of them can also convert to a queen)…

Our family had a great time at your cabin. We really felt like we were staying at a home and not a "rental". We appreciate all the extra touches that made our stay so special. For anyone considering this as a vacation destination - the cabin descriptions are all accurate, we found the cabin exceptionally clean and Ken and Sandy were wonderful to work with!
Owner response:Thank you very much for taking the time to let us know that you enjoyed your stay in Tranquility at River's Bend. It was a joy to work with you as well! Ken & Sandy

My wife and I just spent a week at Tranquility at River’s Bend and enjoyed every minute of it. The cabin is SUPERB – the master suite was very comfortable with a great view in the early morning. The kitchen is very well appointed – we cooked at home every evening. We fell into a comfortable routine of building a fire in fireplace, then after dinner we’d go downstairs for some darts in the game room – then a sauna – finished off with a nice soak in the hot tub. I just do not think it could get much better. We travel a lot and have rented dozens of houses – and this was among the very best. Great view of the river, quite, comfortable – exactly what you look for in a relaxing mountain getaway! Also, the town is cute, lots of fun antique shops and such – several very good and friendly restaurants – we felt like regulars within just a few days. I think the highest praise I can give this cabin is that we are already thinking about when we can come back!!!
Owner response:Hi John & Sheila. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your time in Tranquility! Thank you for being such great guests, it was a pleasure working with you in planning your trip this time. Rafting in the Summer is a lot of fun and the leaves in the Fall are amazing should your plans to revisit include either or both of those timeframes. Ken & Sandy

The cabin was as advertised, beautiful! Seven members of our family spent our Thanksgiving in this lovely cabin. The property has spectacular views, loved the fireplace and fire pit. It was a perfect place to chill, kick back and share some quality time with each other. The only negative for us was the loft area vs. a real bedroom. Since there were 7 adults, one couple had to sleep in the loft. This area lacks privacy and made it difficult to sleep when others were up. If our group had children the space would have been perfect. Having said that, everyone truly had a great time. The countryside is very scenic, stores are conveniently located and the towns surrounding it are very quaint. The owners were most helpful and a pleasure to work with. The homes many amenities were enjoyed by all. If our travels ever find us back in that neck of the woods you can be sure this home would be at the top of our list.
Owner response:Thank you for your review! We also enjoyed working with you and are glad to hear you had such a great time in Tranquility. You are correct that lofts are open areas and different than the three private sleeping areas that Tranquility provides (which sleep 6). Other guests with more than 6 people who preferred having a closed room to sleep in have brought an aerobed to put in the sauna room which provides privacy. Though the site provides this info, your feedback will help us to point this out to future guests in case they missed it on the site. Thank you again!! Ken & Sandy

The Perfect Honeymoon Place

Tranquility At River's Bend was a very romantic and lovely place to spend our honeymoon. The house was just amazing just like the pictures and more. The house had so many amenities that we just didn't want to leave and we didn't leave very often. When we went out on the deck it was very quiet and peaceful. We could hear all the sounds of nature all around us. We could hear the sounds of the water rushing over the rocks in the river below us and all the birds singing. We could see lots of squirrels, geese flying over the river and turtles swimming in the river. Our favorite was the hummingbirds coming up to their feeders along the deck. The leaves were just starting to change color and everyday there was a big difference in their color. Ken & Sandy are just great to work with and answered all our questions. Thanks for sharing your wonderful home with us. Everything was just perfect and we had the best honeymoon we could of ever had!!! We hope to come back again soon. The only bad thing was that we just didn't want to leave and that it was very hard for us to do!! Thanks Again, Ken & Sandy

Got to spend some quality time ourselves at Tranquility and enjoyed every single second. The wild life as always did not fail to entertain... watched several deer cross the river near the rapids twice and saw so many geese, woodpeckers, chickadees, cardinals, bluejays, and other birds, including many hummingbirds... Was great stealing away to the hot tub in the mornings with those wonderful cool breezes and beautiful blue skies and the hint of fall colors appearing here and there... Update on the cabin... the bedrooms now have insulated, room-darkening curtains for those who like to sleep in. Was afraid they'd limit the fantastic views, but actually seem to enhance the ambience, so we're very happy with them. We also installed a hot tub insulation blanket that keeps the water at a great soaking temperature and allows faster heating to higher temps as well. Getting new down pillows for the couch, new kitchen linens and dishware rounded out some of the work we did while there. Funny how work at Tranquility never actually feels like work!! Getting ready to head back up soon to enjoy the unbelievable, gorgeous fall colors that transform the forest into an amazing blaze of colors...

What a wonderful home! We really enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation! We fished on the river almost every night which is something we do not have time to do at home. We caught two catfish and two bass and several blue gill. The only bad thing was all the steps, but at least we were getting our exercise too! We also really enjoyed all the amenties at the resort. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We plan to come back next year. Margaret Osborne and Tom Taylor

Wow! Tranquility is a perfect name for this place. The view is spectacular, and the setting is peaceful. The cabin is incredibly furnished with everything you need for a fun vacation or a weekend getaway. We also found Ken and Sandy to be very pleasant and easy to work with, and they patiently answered all our questions. I would, however, have to agree with the person who wrote an earlier review suggesting some type of blinds or drapes for the master suite. The view from there is incredible, but if you want to sleep in, the morning sun is not your friend. If, however, you are an early riser(I am not), I would expect you could see an awesome sunrise from the deck off the master suite. All in all, a great anniversary getaway for us!
Owner response:Thank you Lisa for your kind words. We're so happy your anniversary was spent in Tranquility and you experienced its magic!! BTW, the new drapes/blinds are on their way :) Ken & Sandy
