Great family option

This property was great for our family of ten. The floor plan was spacious and provided all the right amenities to entertain children and adults. Would definitely stay again. The property is toward the back side of a narrow winding road and takes a bit of driving to reach from the entrance, but this was not a problem just something to note.

Perfect home for a family get-together

This beautiful 3-level home provided lots of room for us along with our children and grandchildren to spread out! The owners have thought of everything to make this home very comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked. There were plenty of towels, our favorite Softsoap and toilet paper!! We used the outdoor grill most nights. Beautiful views. It was a perfect place for our family. We would definitely stay here again when we are in the area.

Weekend getaway

Cabin is beautiful and well furnished. Hopefully, there will be more landscaping around the property. It had recently rained and therefore the grounds were very muddy. Fire pit was a bit on the disappointing side as well.

Fantastic location for group getaway

It was AMAZING!!! Spacious, kitchen had many of the items needed for cooking. All we required was food, drink, and spices. Hot tub was relaxing, deck was spacious, plenty of games, grill to cook on, and a fireplace if wanted. The only thing that could have been better would have been access to the water, however, you could kayaks and tubes at another location within the community. Owners were very responsive. We had 10 adults and this house could have accommodated more easily.

Amazing House

We had a wonderful vacation at River Bend. The view of the river from the massive back window was beautiful. This may be one of the best stocked places I’ve ever rented. We love to cook and the kitchen had everything and more that we needed to prepare our meals. The place also came well-stocked with towels, which is a big plus when traveling with 10 people. I will definitely stay here again.

Awesome Property

The online pictures doesn't do this property justice. It is beautiful and spacious. We had a group of 11 and easily could have slept more. The community is wooded and loaded with lovely deer. The people in Ellijay were friendly. We had a great meal at the River Street Tavern, went tubing and horseback riding. The cabin was large and comfortable enough for us to spread out inside and outside playing games, dancing, cooking, fellowshipping and having a great time. Our host was responsive to any questions we had and we would definitely return here.

Beautiful cabin!

Very clean, spacious and well decorated cabin! Beds were so comfortable and kitchen was well stocked with all we needed. I’ve never stayed in a rental where the master bath had so many extra towels and washcloths! The huge deck was great for lunch for our family reunion gathering! Several of us tubed or kayaked down the lovely river 3 times😊 we would definitely stay here again!

Paradise

Everything about this property and it’s location are amazing. We really enjoyed the newly expanded deck and spent many hours out there playing cornhole, jenga and just hanging out. We tubed the river twice and each time was a blast. The house is stocked with everything you could need and more, just pack your clothes! The community is quiet and peaceful, birds singing and deer in the backyard. There are multiple pools to also enjoy. We will definitely be back

Beautiful and well-equipped

Our group of 9 friends stayed here for the weekend. The property owner was very responsive and accommodating and the property itself was immaculate and cozy. There was plenty of room for all. The kitchen was fully equipped and everything was easy to find. The weather was not nice for outdoor activities but there was plenty of entertainment between the view outside the windows, the pool table, the hot tub, and games. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.

Wow! Exceeded Expectations

Nick property is perfect. After reading others reviews I agree that this property is better than described. It’s obviously a well cared for house and stocked with everything you could need, including a crockpot. I brought my own and discovered the home already had one! We will definitely return. Communication was also very clear and thorough which is a plus in my book. Thank you so much!
