Welcome to The Rainbow Lodge
Escape to The Rainbow Lodge, a stunning cabin tucked away in the serene Coosawattee River Resort, right along the beautiful Mountaintown Creek.

Pure magic awaits you here!

Dive into fun with a game room featuring Air Hockey and Foosball, or kick back in the movie room with a massive 65" Smart TV. Choose between two cozy fireplaces, the firepit, or relax in the hot tub. With two king master suites that each have a balcony overlooking the river, you won't find a more perfect spot.

This cabin had the most beautiful views we've seen. The listing is accurate, and we had everything we needed. The host provided very detailed communication which made our trip seamless. The deer on the property and on the drive in were the perfect addition to a great trip. Highly recommend this host and we will be using again.

This was a great weekend getaway for my husband and I. The sight of the river from the living room was absolutely beautiful! Cabin was clean and very homey. Even though we brought our own, they provide a dog kennel and dog bowls for your pup. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. The owners are very responsive and make sure that you have an open line of communication to easily get a hold of them, if needed. My husband and I would definitely stay here again.

We had the most amazing time staying at The Rainbow Lodge. It was just as described-clean and so detail oriented. The view from the living room is exceptional overlooking the creek. We saw so many deer and other wildlife. Brad provided detailed instructions, tips, and information for our stay at their house and Ellijay. He was very responsive through text as well. We would most definitely stay here again. We played the family games by the fire. Our family had the best time. Thank you!!

About the host

Hosted by Brad Bruckman

Host profile image
I come from the hospitality industry with over 30 years hosting Guests in various capacities. I fell in love with Ellijay and the North GA Mountains and purchased a home here in 2015. I decided that I wanted to continue my hospitality career via sharing this lovely place with others. No big management company here, Guests work directly with me as the owner and I promise you will be well taken care of. I look forward to hosting you soon.

Why they chose this property

What past Guests say is what is most important:

"Our family of four (me, my husband, 8 year old and 6 year old children) had such a wonderful time at this property!!! It’s by far the cleanest VRBO we’ve ever stayed in and the amenities were amazing! So grateful for a place that has hand soap at every sink! Brad was so kind to bring us an apple pie to welcome us-and was so attentive throughout our stay! The river was perfect for our kids to “fish” and we used the fire pit every night for family time! Air hockey was also a huge hit!!! We enjoyed horseback riding in nearby Mineral Bluff, hiking to see the rock fire tower, antiquing, eating at The Pink Pig and visiting the local animal rescue-“Build an ark animal rescue”. We saw about 50 deer throughout our stay within the neighborhood! It was a perfect stay and we plan to visit again during warmer months! Thanks Brad!!!"

"This cabin (and owner) are amazing! It’s truly the cleanest cabin, with the best beds and linens. It has literally everything you need from Coffee makers, Kueregs, pots and pans, bathroom necessities, and so much more. Nothing is done cheaply. If we don’t buy our own ellijay cabin, we will definitely be back!!"

"Perfect fall get away! After months of quarantine and then homeschool we all really look forward to this fall getaway, and Brad’s place was perfection, everything you need is at this house, Theres activities outside and tons to do inside, but most importantly it’s quiet and peaceful he’s done a beautiful job with this house"

"A Wonderful Place! We absolutely loved staying here. RR Lodge is private, quiet, peaceful and the sound of the river was so relaxing. Kitchen was well stocked and bedrooms were so comfortable. The kids loved downstairs and everything it had to offer. We played in the river, enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit daily. Brad is a great host! So easy to work with and very accommodating. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Can't wait for our next visit!"

What makes this property unique

With the river behind and the cascading stream to the side, you are surrounded by the peaceful tranquility of flowing water. It is a beautiful spot.
