Relaxing getaway!

We really enjoyed our getaway to the Rainbow Lodge. The location was very scenic on the river and the property is extremely clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The location is remote enough to have some privacy but convenient to downtown Elijay (just under 20 minutes). The cabin is probably the most well-equipped place we have rented, with ample supplies available and a lot of attention to detail, including coffee and hot cocoa provisions. We appreciated that they provided for our pup as well, including dog bed, bowls, and blankets. Although it rained some during our stay we stayed entertained with air hockey, games, XBox, and comfy media room. The host is very helpful and provides a ton of information. We would certainly rent again!

Couldn’t be more perfect

What a beautiful property! The pictures don’t do it justice! Accessing it is not very convenient bc you need to park your car on the street and hike 2 flights of stairs to get to the cabin but I will tell you it is worth it! Beautiful views from every window. So tranquil! We loved having such great, private access to the river. We swam in its cool waters every day. When you are in the hot tub you feel like you are in a treehouse. The wildlife is prolific. The deer came right up to us. Truly a magical property! Not only does it have the gorgeous river, it also has a tumbling stream on the side of the house. The kitchen is small and somewhat tucked away, but very well stocked and modern. The upstairs master is gorgeous and very comfortable. Has a spacious en-suite. We loved that each of the main bedrooms had their own private decks. The main level bedroom is comfortable but it’s en-suite is small with no counter space. The bottom level of the cabin is spacious and very comfortable as well. It has a fun game room and nice den area with tv and Xbox. The bunk room is wonderful and it’s bathroom is spacious. The entire cabin is clean and impeccably maintained and just a pure joy to stay in. All in all this was our favorite cabin that we have rented in the area. We will definitely be renting it again. The complementary apple pie was a wonderful treat. The host was easy to connect with, responsive and very professional.

Great family getaway!

Awesome property, beautiful cabin, ideal family location! We couldn’t have had a better stay with our kids over fall break. There were too many small touches to name, but games and activities for the kids, a beautiful river location, quiet, serene, a nice hot tub, a great fire pit, great windows and views, many different ways to enjoy the property both inside and out! Brad and his team did a wonderful job, and had the clearest communication for any rental we’ve had. We will be back! Easiest 5/5 rating we could give!

The kids had so much fun in the game room, on the hammock and just exploring by the river. We can't wait to plan a trip back this summer so we can try tubing down the river!

Perfect Fall Getaway

The cabin was just perfect! My husband and older son fished, while my younger son jumped rocks and explored in the river. We warmed up in the hot tub, played cards at the round table, played air hockey and foosball and had a blast just being together. The beds were so comfortable and the views out the back were so peaceful. We loved our stay and absolutely recommend of you are looking for an Elijay getaway!

Magical Stay in Ellijay

Pictures don't do this property justice. We were thoroughly impressed by the location of the cabin, the setup and cleanliness of the cabin and the amenities of the neighborhood. We felt secluded enough without being in the middle of nowhere. Our kids LOVED the river, it's perfect for jumping from rock to rock, fishing and feeding the geese. We enjoyed the firepit every night & the beds were very comfortable! The Keurig in each bedroom was a great touch :) We will definitely be staying again.

About the host

Hosted by Brad Bruckman

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.

Why they chose this property

What past Guests say is what is most important:

"Our family of four (me, my husband, 8 year old and 6 year old children) had such a wonderful time at this property!!! It’s by far the cleanest VRBO we’ve ever stayed in and the amenities were amazing! So grateful for a place that has hand soap at every sink! Brad was so kind to bring us an apple pie to welcome us-and was so attentive throughout our stay! The river was perfect for our kids to “fish” and we used the fire pit every night for family time! Air hockey was also a huge hit!!! We enjoyed horseback riding in nearby Mineral Bluff, hiking to see the rock fire tower, antiquing, eating at The Pink Pig and visiting the local animal rescue-“Build an ark animal rescue”. We saw about 50 deer throughout our stay within the neighborhood! It was a perfect stay and we plan to visit again during warmer months! Thanks Brad!!!"

"This cabin (and owner) are amazing! It’s truly the cleanest cabin, with the best beds and linens. It has literally everything you need from Coffee makers, Kueregs, pots and pans, bathroom necessities, and so much more. Nothing is done cheaply. If we don’t buy our own ellijay cabin, we will definitely be back!!"

"Perfect fall get away! After months of quarantine and then homeschool we all really look forward to this fall getaway, and Brad’s place was perfection, everything you need is at this house, Theres activities outside and tons to do inside, but most importantly it’s quiet and peaceful he’s done a beautiful job with this house"

"A Wonderful Place! We absolutely loved staying here. RR Lodge is private, quiet, peaceful and the sound of the river was so relaxing. Kitchen was well stocked and bedrooms were so comfortable. The kids loved downstairs and everything it had to offer. We played in the river, enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit daily. Brad is a great host! So easy to work with and very accommodating. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Can't wait for our next visit!"
