The house was great, close to shops, dining and entertainment. The house is on flat land with plenty of parking spaces. The hot tub and the back porch was perfect. Spent every morning and evening out there listening to the river. Would recommend to anyone staying in Elijay.

Great Place. Great Owners.

I cannot say enough good things about this location and the property owners. The attention to detail was astounding. The home was spacious and located in a quiet spot away from traffic noise. You could want for nothing. Kimberly was extremely gracious when we arrived earlier than planned and allowed us entry (very unusual and we would have understood had she declined).I would give six stars if I could. And would highly recommend this property.

Relaxing weekend get away

We very much enjoyed the get away. The cabin was nicely supplied with toiletries, coffee bar, little snacks, s’more treats, and more. The only draw back was the “hot tub” wasn’t hot. It felt like a lukewarm bath. That was disappointing.

2nd Timers

We love this house. The layout is great for 3 generations. The river, the fire pit, the quiet are perfect. Gas logs, good internet, great TV-if you even need it 😁. Turkeys, deer, and a bear-oh my! Walked up on the bear but I think he didn’t see us as a threat and ran off by the river. Highly recommend for a relaxing convenient location to Blue Ridge, Dahlonega, hiking, etc.

Awesome cabin in the river

We stayed here for our family mountain vacation! The house was awesome with easy access to the river for swimming and tubing fun. House has everything you could need and our favorite, fully stocked coffee bar! Sitting on the porch with coffee and listening to the sounds of the river! We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful!

We had a wonderful stay at the river house! The house had everything you could possibly need and more. There were so many special touches around the house and the house has everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed the hot tub, listening to the river and making s'mores at the fire pit. The location is easy to get to and near town! Would definitely return to stay again.
