JUST COMPLETED: The Riverside Grande Lodge is a large, lovely cabin offering a wonderful feeling of seclusion and privacy along scenic Mountaintown Creek. Sitting just off the river's edge, Guests feel like they are floating in the river with a huge level grass area! With spaces to escape throughout the cabin, each Guest will feel like they are on their own holiday. Enjoy geese, deer, river otters, Blue Heron. Cool off with a swim or a tube in the river from the beautiful sand beach. Enjoy!

Enjoy all this from a five-star cabin that includes details such as professional hair care products, luxurious bedding and towels, a fully stocked gourmet kitchen, a game room with 3/4 Ping Pong and Foosball, a movie room with a 65" Smart TV, Sound Bar, DVD/Blu-ray player, three fireplaces(one firepit) to choose from, a wide assortment of board games, poker set, cards, a luxury Bull Frog Hot Tub with lounge seat, 3 king masters including 2 with balconies overlooking the river. You simply will not find a nicer cabin in a more idyllic setting.

PETS- While we do allow a pet, we only allow one dog that is 50 pounds or less and at least 2 years old. We require a Vet Health Certificate confirming the dog's age, weight, and that its vaccinations are current along with a photo of the dog.

You will enjoy access to the entire home and nearly 1,000 feet of private riverfront as we own two additional lots and three adjacent homes. This includes a large grass area with a horseshoe court!

Amazing Cabin!
This cabin was amazing! Has everything ready for your stay. Veey clean and everything is up to date. Location is perfect next to a beautiful clean creek with plenty of trout to see. There is an automatic fish feeder on the creek that goes off couple of times a day where you can see plenty of trout. We’ve been to a lot cabins and by far this was our favorite spot. The owner is very nice and communication was great. We are definitely going back in the summer time.

Great house and location!
This is an amazing property that has everything you will need for your stay. We didn’t have the best weather for fishing, but still enjoyed the very peaceful river. The owner is very helpful and responds quickly to your questions. We liked it so much that we are planning on coming back next year.

Amazing rental
This was easily the best VRBO we have rented. The property was beautiful and the pictures really don't do the riverfront justice. The house was well stocked with necessities and the owner has clearly put a lot of time into their handbook and website which made the entire interaction feel very professional compared to many rentals. The owner was also very responsive throughout the trip, and even had an apple pie waiting on us! Would definitely return.

Great family getaway
This house was great and Brad had everything on hand that you could need. Little things like extra paper towels, dish soap, coffee, etc. made the stay very convenient. Our family really enjoyed the wildlife. We caught fish in the creek and saw otters. But, we also had many deer come to visit throughout our stay and saw tons throughout the neighborhood. Overall it was a great vacation.

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.
