Located on Mountaintown Creek in the scenic area of the north Georgia mountains, Coldwater Cabin offers a warm, inviting retreat from the daily hustle and bustle of life. Coldwater is a rustic, casual, cozy mountain cabin nestled in a tranquil, serene setting. Just over an hour north of Atlanta, you can quickly be transported from the grind of city life, to the natural beauty and serenity of mountain life.

Enjoy the peacefulness and complete privacy of Coldwater as there is only one cabin down river that is barely in sight. Surrounded by trees and the river...you have perfect seclusion. All you will hear and see at this beautiful cabin is the water rolling over the rocks in the creek and humming birds feeding on the deck. This unique, charming and cheerful cabin is a welcome haven of rest and the perfect get away for a 'slower pace.' Coldwater Cabin sleeps up to four people comfortably with a main level bedroom, upper level master loft and side loft, two full baths with shower/tub combination, fully equipped kitchen, open dining and living area with fireplace.

Handsome tongue and groove paneling throughout, wide pine plank flooring, rough sawn pine cabinetry, open exposed beam structure and rock fireplace are yours to enjoy in Coldwater. Lots of natural light fills this haven creating a warm, cheerful,inviting atmosphere. Coldwater Cabin is furnished in rustic mountain décor that is comfortable, relaxed and full of charm. Enjoy the comfort of solid hickory, cedar and pine furniture with mountain and river fabrics...decor that naturally matches the surroundings and environment. Feels like home, but doesn't look like home! All this is wrapped up in a setting where you can experience and enjoy the natural wonders and beauty of mountain life.

Wake to the sounds of a gentle rain falling on the metal roof or birds chirping outside the window. Enjoy the start of the day with a cup of coffee on the deck listening to the rushing waters of the creek as the sun begins to shine. Take off the chill by sitting by the soft porch lights and wood burning stove---which is perfect for roasting marshmallows at night.

Fish in famous Mountaintown Creek or cool off in the refreshing waters while tubing in front of the cabin. This captivating cabin is the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate. At night, relax on the deck by the fire while enjoying some fantastic star gazing or warm up inside by the rock fireplace outfitted with electric logs (remote control) where you are ushered into an incredible nights sleep.

At Coldwater Cabin, you can enjoy long walks in the woods, fishing or playing in the creek or relaxing on the deck while enjoying the naturally beautiful surroundings. How about just rocking the time away on the deck overlooking the bubbling creek? If adventure is what you are looking for, it is easily found at Coldwater. Perhaps you want to raft or kayak. There are several rivers and creeks at your disposal as well as beautiful Carter's Lake.

In the quaint town of Ellijay, you can stroll the square and shop for treasures at the many local antique and craft shops. Take a break and dine at one of the many different restaurants Ellijay has to offer. The slower pace is a refreshing step back from the busyness of life.

Whatever it is you want or need, you can have it all at Coldwater Cabin. We invite you to come splash the time away at this unique and special cabin....and make memories that will last a lifetime!

wonderful weekend at Coldwater

This property is a gem on the Coosawattee River. Located 12 minutes from the community entrance, this cabin is perfectly situated in the mountains without being too far away from town. Cabin was immaculate, everything worked properly, and the host was great with communications. We look forward to our next visit to Coldwater!

October weekend stay

Very, very clean, cozy cabin. Loved sitting on the backporch in the early mornings with the stove lit. Owner was extremely reaponsive with questions and was so kind to let us check in early when we got into town earlier than expected. The only thing I could critique, is that we were expecting a more secluded cabin, away from others and there was a very noisy cabin next door early in the morning and late at night, at no fault of the owners, but we believed to not have anyone around based on the description. Overall a very nice stay, again, sooo clean and cozy. town earlier than expected.

About the host

Hosted by Brian and Cindy Saunders

Host profile image
Our family began enjoying the Ellijay area in 1999 and purchased Coldwater Cabin in 2000. Fun filled weekends, creek adventures and fires at night while listening to the noisy water have created many special memories for our family that will last a lifetime. We are happy to share this same opportunity and experience with you.

Why they chose this property

The attraction to Coldwater Cabin is the special escape it offers us from our busy lives in the city. We love the natural surroundings and sound of moving water as well as the convenient access to so many different nearby activities such as Carter's Lake. The short drive (just over an hour) from Atlanta to Coldwater is an added bonus.

What makes this property unique

Coldwater is nestled in a very private area and surrounded by the sounds of nature and the noisy water of Mountaintown Creek moving over rocks. This setting along with a warm, rustic cabin decor is the perfect combination. At the cabin, we feel you are transported away from it all.....to a place of peacefulness, relaxation and beauty that is hard to find in a metropolitan area.
