About this property

Rivershire Cottage | Ellijay, GA

Not your typical log cabin, this beautiful and unique property has all the feeling of a cozy cottage, but plenty of space for your group to relax and enjoy life on the river. Nestled on the banks of the Coosawattee River, you get the feeling of stepping back in time as you enter. This home is modeled after a historic Appalachian farmhouse with shiplap walls, whitewashed ceilings and wide plank pine floors. With a gourmet kitchen and ample seating, the kitchen and great room is undoubtedly the heart of the home. Open up the French doors to the large screened porch and let the sounds of the river wash over you while you watch the birds and deer visit. Stroll down to the back yard, where you’ll find a hot tub, cedar barrel sauna and firepit area with Adirondack chairs. Enjoy the private beach located right on the river, where you can launch your kayak, go tubing down the Coosawattee or just play in the sand. When the day comes to an end, enjoy a movie on the terrace level with a gas fireplace and game room. Every bedroom is beautifully decorated with tranquil decor that will quickly dissolve your stress away. The cabin is located in a private gated community just minutes from downtown Ellijay and 15 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge. Rivershire Cottage is now pet friendly, with a fenced front yard, orthopedic dog bed and dog bowls for the main and terrace levels. If you are looking for a cozy cottage with lots of space for memories to be made, Rivershire Cottage is your top pick.

Property Manager- We had heard a lot about Blue Sky Cabin Rentals from friends and a family member and decided to give it a try. We were very impressed. Property- This cabin is absolutely amazing. We didn't want to leave. This was seriously one of the best vacations we have had. This was our first time to stay in a home rather than a hotel and we will never go back. We love Blue Sky!

We had such a relaxing vacation! We fished, relaxed, did puzzles, shopped, went in the hot tub and sauna, went on the train in Blue Ridge, cooked, had campfires, and hung out on the porch hammock swings watching the deer. We also went zip-lining and horseback riding in Blue Ridge. . We met so many friendly locals! We had so many laughs and made so many great memories here. This vacation was exactly what we had hoped for. We relaxed, relaxed, and relaxed some more! The beautiful house was so very comfortable and cozy and we used every inch of it. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook some yummy dinners! We were super impressed with Rivershire and look forward to coming back, only next time we will stay longer!
