About this property
Waterfront Cabin - Hot Tub - Fishing - Private Driveway - Firepit
Relax in the perfect getaway in the North Georgia Mountains. Listen to the sounds of the rushing water from the deck or sreened porch and enjoy the gentle yard & private stone patio with firepit directly on the river.
This one of a kind find features an upgraded kitchen with rock backsplash, a large dining table that seats 8, a gorgeous stone fireplace, spacious bathrooms, deck and screened porch both overlooking the water & more.
Located in Coosawatee Resort, River Run cabin offers quiet rest and relaxation, while just a 15 to 20 minute drive to groceries/conveniences and charming downtown Ellijay. Only about 1.5 hours from Atlanta. (Please note that the last 1/2 mile is gravel roads, and the roads to the cabin are twisty)
**** Please note, there are only enough sleeping accommodations for 6 people max and no extra sheets or pillows, there will be a charge for additional guests. ****
****NO PETS****
Unique features:
* Private driveway - most properties along the river share the gravel access road, but you will have your own private driveway in addition to the access road.
* Whole house generator- Stormy weather can knock out power in the mountains for days, our generator automatically kicks on and will power the entire cabin just like any other day.
* Steps to the river - need another beverage or forget the marshmallows for s’mores? No steep climb up multiple flights of stairs, and you are so close you can open the windows or your screened in porch and fall asleep to the sound of the rushing water.
* Winding mountain roads - part of the adventure is driving the twists and turns ; if you're not used to it just drive slowly and try to arrive during daylight. 4-wheel drive is helpful but not necessary.
**Why we love River Run cabin**
The winding drive through the mountains to the end of a gravel road lead you to a spot far away from busy city life, yet only 20 minutes from conveniences. We love to go down to touch the water and feel how cold it is, get a fire going, and catch up and laugh until we run out of firewood. On a hot day, we take the plastic Adirondack chairs and set them right in the river while we enjoy a cold beverage. Or bring a tube and go for a float right from your own patio, walk back and do it again. We do have two smart TVs, although we hardly ever watch them.
If we have already grilled out one night and want to go into town to eat, our favorite upscale restaurant is Butcher and Bottle. There is a charming town square with great shopping, a wine bar, and a new rooftop bar and restaurant with great views. There are plenty of casual options as well.
In the mornings, whoever gets up early makes the first pot of coffee and gets to enjoy some peace and quiet out on the porch swing while listening to the birds. You can even get some exercise in by walking the trail along the river which runs about a mile.
We are excited to share our home with you and hope we get to welcome you to River Run very soon!

About the host
Hosted by Lauren Singer Perry
We live in Atlanta (Smyrna) and bought River Run to enjoy and escape from the city, and to build lasting memories with friends and family. Ron is a West Point graduate and army veteran, and Lauren graduated from James Madison University.
Why they chose this property
This cabin has the perfect amount of space for couples, families or friends to spend time together. The view and sound of the water rushing is instantly relaxing, and being in Coosawattee Resort offers great amenities like indoor/outdoor pools, tennis courts, fitness center and beautiful parks. Downtown Ellijay is only about 15-20 minutes drive, and we love going to Butcher and Bottle Restaurant for a special meal or just browsing the unique shops.
What makes this property unique
It is rare to find a cabin with direct riverfront access right outside your door, and even more unique to have your own private driveway access versus driving along the narrow gravel road along the water. Add in tasteful mountain decor and a firepit on the river and you have found the perfect getaway.
