Reviewer Comments:
Last minute booking went seamless, and our expectations were exceeded! Everything was super clean, cozy, and comfortable. The sound of the river was so relaxing, we spent so much time on the porch and by the river. Our dogs were in heaven!! The hot tub was amazing,everything was just perfect. The ONLY drawback was the long sstaircase from the house to the river, but overall it was worth it- definitely recommend!!
Wonderful little cabin overlooking the Elijay River. Several cabins nearby and one in view, but not intrusive and still felt secluded. Dog yard is small but adequate. Higher energy pups would appreciate a stroll down the road or to the creek and back. The Elijay River was a perfect temperature and flow for summer relaxation. I would definitely book again.
The views were wonderful and being near the water was great. We loved hearing the river and walking down the steps to them. The cabin was quaint, comfy and clean.
The hubby and I needed a few days away from the craziness of life. The cabin was just like advertised. All the small special touches were greatly appreciated. Our fur baby had a blast too! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

The mountain home was beautifully decorated and supplied with items we needed for our stay. We loved the sound of the water in the river flowing over the rocks while we were outside or on the porch. We would stay here again if there is an opportunity to do so.
Beautiful cottage - very clean -
the steps to creek are very slippery -
Everything was wonderful -
a little too much furniture in a small

We stayed at Cascading Waters for a getaway weekend and really enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for 2 people. The back porch was a lovely place to sit with a cup of hot tea and breakfast, listening to the rushing water below. The furniture was comfortable, the cabin was very clean, and had everything we needed.

The cabin was exactly how it looked in the pictures. Very cozy. Loved the fenced yard for dogs. The 90 steps down to the river is worth it for the amazing view of the water. There is a 10min drive up a gravel only road so be prepared.

Reviewer Comments:
Our stay was very relaxing. Lily, our boxer, gives it 5 out of 5 bones! We definitely recommend this property. We had everything we needed and more! The steps down to the river were challenging, but well worth the effort. The sound of rushing water was soothing, especially at night. Again, very convenient for pets!
We were a little surprised at how "cozy" this cabin was, the pictures make it seem a little bigger but, the view, the hot tub, the sound of the cascading water made up for that instantly. Super clean, washer and dryer with detergent pods, dishwasher, microwave, even coffee and filers. Incredibly pet friendly (we did not have our dogs this time but we sure will next time) with a little fenced area for safe potty time, a dog bed, bowls and treats provided! Great little getaway close to Blue Ridge and even closer to downtown Ellijay. We hit a pop up farmer's market. If you're going out to eat make sure you go to The Rooftop restaurant. A relaxing stay.

We had an awesome stay at Cascading Waters. The property was better than expected. It was clean and well maintained. We were provided a code to enter the cabin. We had no problems and would recommend this property for your stay. We arrived after dark and could hear the water rushing over the rocks. When we woke up, the view was amazing.

Reviewer Comments:
The cabin is beautiful and probably has one of the best views of any I found. The small "rapids" in the river just below the cabin provide a tranquil sound that is so relaxing. Relaxing in the hot tub at night with an unimpeded view of the starry sky was worth the trip itself. The drive up the mountain is a tad tricky but we made it in our sedan without issue and the directions were very detailed. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I recommend this cabin without hesitation.

Had a wonderful stay at Cascading Waters! Cabin and surroundings are so beautiful and peaceful. Our power went out the first night because of rain and cold but the fireplace kept us nice and toasty. Also information included in the house binder gave us plenty of info to deal with the situation. Definitely a very pet friendly rental. Loved that they provided pet sheets to cover furniture, but being an avid pet vacationer I had already brought my own. For being a pet friendly cabin everything was super clean! Wonderful stay!!!!

Overall the cabin was very nice. My only disappointment was in the condition of the outdoor fire pit
Overall the cabin was very nice. My only disappointment was in the condition of the outdoor fire pit area. It hadn’t been used or cleaned in quite some time. They were supposed to be a hammock by the water side but it was not there. Outdoor patio furniture was dirty and moldy and not some thing I would want to sit on

Hi the cabin was lovely however we had to go out to get toilet paper and coffee filters we left the coffee filters we bought but you should probably leave some extra toilet paper for the next guest as that is not what you expect you have to bring. Otherwise the trip was great the cabin was clean and we actually saw a bear on the road less then 20ft from the cabin when we were walking up the hill. Good thing he/she was nice and walked away down the hill when we made a lot of noise. Made for a lot of good stories! Will be back again when we need another cabin for our family to spread out since ours isn't big enough to fit everyone!

My daughter, son-in-law, two dogs & I really enjoyed this winter weekend vacation. Cascading Waters was very clean, comfortable, nicely decorated with well stocked kitchen. River is beautiful but does require climbing lots of stairs to get to. Location is close to hiking trails, good restaurants/eateries and grocery store. Requires driving on 1.5mile dirt road that is winding & narrow to get to cabin. Beautiful wooded area with deer. Other homes nearby but very private. Gas-fireplace was nice on our cold days. Hot tub! Nice porch! Fenced yard for dogs was wonderful! Could spend all your time just at the cabin! Well maintained property!

Reviewer Comments:
My husband and I come to Blue Ridge/Ellijay every year for our anniversary. He looks forward to fishing for trout (which there were none of in this river) and the cooler weather. The cabin is very small. If you plan on having more than 2 people you’re going to be crowded. It is cute and cozy but small. Theres lots of big furniture that takes up a lot of room. If you prefer the higher elevation with 1000 steps to the river then this location is perfect for you 😂 It was definitely not one of the cleanest cabins (very dusty) we’ve been in but it wasn’t bad enough that you wouldn’t want to stay. I would recommend this cabin as the little things like this never stop us from returning.
When I booked this trip for my best friend and I, I wasn't sure if I would be bringing my dog with me or not (my husband works for an airline, so I wasn't sure if he would be home and able to keep our dog). So, it was important to me to find a property (in the mountains, on a river) that was receptive to animals. This place did NOT disappoint.
I did not take my dog, but the owners of this property had EVERYTHING one would need to make this place just as hospitable to dogs as humans, down to the dog treats, poop bags, a fenced in area for the dog to potty, etc. For a home that ACCEPTS animals, I couldn't locate as much as a dog hair in the entire place. It was SPOTLESSLY clean, and had all the amenities you need to enjoy a nice stay on the river.
The space is relatively small in square footage, but PERFECT for a couple or small family. My best friend and I enjoyed cooking dinner in the fully stocked kitchen, sipping drinks in the hot tub, and our visits down the stairs to the riverside. The fireplace was a nice touch for the cold nights. I can't recommend this place enough, seriously. We will most DEFINITELY be returning soon. My only advice would be to keep in mind the parking is extremely limited. Large vehicles would be a tight fit due to the close proximity to the small, gravel road in front of the cabin. But, even though the cabin is extremely close to the gravel roadway, there was little to no traffice during our entire 4 day visit. The stairs leading down to the river can be slippery in the rain or sleet, so watch your footing, but the walk down was beautiful because the stairs meander through the trees, down the hillside. I truly give this place 5 FULL STARS!
