Quiet River Escape

Check in was easy having a lock box with the key and a code text prior to arrival. Kitchen was fully stocked for us to cook or grill there with ease. I much appreciate the deck which made getting waterside with a wheelchair very easy. It’s quiet, with easy access into the Ellijay river from the back yard. The cabin, although small, was well furnished and comfortable. Lots of wild life. All enjoyed the stay even our two pups.

New Years on the River

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fabulous stay at Riverside Retreat. This area is one of our favorites in Ellijay. The cabin had everything we needed and we were able to relax. Our only suggestion would be to make the "fenced" yard a little more secure and a little bigger. We had no issues but the neighboring rental had dogs running loose and had ours been out at the same time, they would have been able to push the fence over. Other than that, we are completely satisfied with the property and will be putting on our list for future rentals.

What a wonderful Holiday stay at Riverside Retreat! Our family had a great time as we cooked, sat by the fire and enjoyed the beautiful deck and large area overlooking the river. We will be back as we have always had fabulous experiences at all the sliding rock cabins that we have stayed at! Everything you could want for a family gathering in comfort. The cabin is beautifully decorated and clean. Thank you for another great family vacation!

Liked the cabin right on the water. The kids were able to play in the water. Great deck area and fire pit to be outside. Location was great as far as close to towns. Front door was a pain to deal with and should be taken care of for future guests.
