Located directly on the Coosawattee River, you'll love the calming sound of the river both day and night. The last 1/2 mile of roads to the cabin are gravel, so even though you're only an hour or so north of the city, you'll feel a world away from life's 'normal' stress.
There is a large covered porch with ceiling fans and plenty of seating, including a log swing. Enjoy meals on the huge screened in porch while being entertained by the abundant wildlife both in the wooded yard and in the river. It's not uncommon to see deer playing in the river or crossing through the yard. Let your relaxation continue as you build your own campfire by the river. Terrace level patio features a 6-person hot tub - perfect way to end an evening if you choose.
Main floor features a living room with a gas fireplace and a 55-inch TV. Kitchen with plenty of counter space and stainless steel appliances is stocked with all the culinary tools you'll need - coffee maker, pots and pans, cutlery, bottle opener, etc. Large Master bedroom features King log bed with high-quality mattress for a perfect night's sleep. Master Bath has whirlpool bath and separate shower.
Upper level has loft area and second Master bedroom which also has King size log bed. Walk out of this bedroom onto a small private covered porch.
Terrace level is the 'fun' zone, featuring a large seating area with 55 inch TV, board games, puzzles and books. There is also a full-sized ping pong table (with paddles and balls) if you're feeling competitive. Bedroom with 2 Twin log beds connects to full bathroom with washer/dryer.

We had yet another amazing family vacation here! The property is beautiful, the river was flowing and the wildlife was amazing! Even the dog got in on the swimming :)
this cabin and the hosts are the best of the best. There is a reason why you have to book quickly here...they have so many guests that return yearly b/c we all know the secret--you cannot find a better place on the river! the noise from the river hitting the rocks creates the perfect, peaceful sounds for relaxing on the covered deck or screened in patio. The cabin is roomy and comfortable with everything you need. Book it while you can b/c it fills up pretty quickly.
Laid back relaxing place. All well stocked. Stayed here for wedding. Lots of rain so did not get to the fun things that are here, overall quite the spot, One warning is to drive SLOW at dusk, very dark.
This air bnb had everything one would need. I mean every detail was considered from tea light candles and lighters to plenty of logs for the fire pit and blankets in every room. I love how there were basic spices in the cupboards and plenty of towels and .
We knew what to expect at this special place for us, was an awesome recharging experience and thank you Mandy and Doug for allowing us your wonderful home . Planning to book a return for sure! house!
Everything about this stay was excellent. The cabin has everything you need, and the river access was perfect. And when you need to venture out of the resort area, both Elijay and Blue Ridge are not far. Would highly recommend this cabin and owners.
We had the most amazing time at Rivers Echo Cabin! From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of how peaceful and beautiful everything was. The cabin was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed to feel right at home — cozy beds, a fully stocked kitchen, and even thoughtful little touches that made the stay extra special.The setting is absolutely magical. Waking up to the sound of the river, sipping coffee on the deck, and spending our evenings by the fire pit made this trip unforgettable. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation — we tubed, hiked, explored the area, and also just enjoyed slowing down.The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, making sure we had everything we needed before and during our stay. We’re already talking about when we can come back. Highly, highly recommend Rivers Echo Cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway surrounded by nature.
This was our 5th year staying and every year it just gets better. We absolutely love the cabin, the water, the location, and the wildlife. We cant wait to be back next year!
We came to celebrate a few different occasions. It was easy to get to the cabin (for cabin standards) and the cabin felt so cozy! We started each morning on the balcony, listening to the sounds of the river. Lots of deer in the area and
We had an amazing chilly weekend at River’s Echo. Spending evenings by the campfire next to the river was so relaxing. We made the most of the hot tub, outdoor patio, ping pong table, and the super comfortable beds. Can’t wait to come back! Thank you, Mandy and Doug, for a fantastic weekend!
The property is just as advertised. It is very homey and welcoming and beautifully decorated. This is our second stay and we will definitely be booking again. The calming sound of the water is so relaxing...Love It!!!
What a gem. The house is rural, private* hot tub, waterfront, pets ok, loud river, wildlife, grill, beautiful interior, fire pit, all the little touches to make the stay comfortable. Can easily sleep 10. All you need to bring is your food and toiletries, shampoo, conditioner, soap. It has been well maintained and I highly recommend.
River Echo cabin was perfectly located on the Coosawettee River. Watching and listening to the rapids was replenishing. The screened in porch was large and accommodated our group of 5 perfectly. The kitchen had all the supplies we needed for meals etc. Beds and baths were comfortable and updated. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
