About the host

Hosted by Ryan Eldredge

Host profile image
We grew up on the Florida beaches, but now reside outside of Nashville. This cabin is a peaceful stop in between the two locations. We love coming here to enjoy the fresh air and to listen to the river.

Why they chose this property

The drive-in from the resort gate is always fun. Usually there are deer all over the place, and you'll get glimpses of people enjoying a float down the river.

What makes this property unique

I'm always struck by the calm and peacefulness of this cabin. This property is perched on the mountainside directly across from the Coosawattee River. It heightens the sound of the water rushing over the rocks below and gives you a fun vantage point to watch the deer run down the hill. We supply deer corn for you to throw from the balcony. Once the deer hear it, they'll immediately scamper down the hill.
