About this property

Riverfront, loud rapids, on tubing path - easy access (neighboring River's Echo)

Newly listed 'sister property' to River's Echo (VRBO#1151964). Walk out directly on the Coosawattee River, you'll love the calming sound of the river both day and night. The last 1/2 mile of roads to the cabin are gravel, so even though you're only an hour or so north of the city, you'll feel a world away from life's 'normal' stress.

There is a large deck overlooking the beautiful Coosawattee River. Enjoy meals on the large screened in porch while being entertained by the abundant wildlife both in the wooded yard and in the river. It's not uncommon to see deer playing in the river or crossing through the yard. Let your relaxation continue as you build your own campfire by the river. Terrace level patio features a log swing and cushioned wicker seating area, as well as a 6-person hot tub - perfect way to end an evening if you choose.

Main floor features a living room with a gas fireplace, leather sofa, leather club chair with ottoman and 2 upholstered high-back recliners. Oh and there is also a 65-inch TV. Kitchen with black honed granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances is stocked with all the culinary tools you'll need - coffee maker, pots and pans, cutlery, bottle opener, etc. Large Master bedroom features King log bed with high-quality mattress for a perfect night's sleep. Master Bath has whirlpool bath and separate shower.

Upper level has loft area and second Master bedroom which also has a fabulous King size bed. Walk out of this bedroom onto a small private covered porch.

Terrace level is the 'fun' zone, featuring a large seating area with 65 inch TV, board games, puzzles and books. There is also a regulation Foosball table if you're feeling competitive. Bedroom with 2 Queen log beds and a full bathroom.

Best cabin in Elijay!

The sound of the peaceful river rapids and the view from this cabin can't be beaten. The fire pit and the hot tub are in perfect locations to soak it all in. The cabin was well appointed for all of our needs. The comfortable beds made for a great night's rest! Would definitely love to stay here again!

Family Gathering

We had a family gathering. It was conveniently located for our family that is spread across the Eastern States. This rental was perfect for all of us. There is plenty of room for everyone. I could sit on the porch and listen to sounds of the river for hours. We went sightseeing, played foosball, played cards, sat on the porch with a glass of wine, watched football and talked and laughed. It was a perfect place for our perfect family vacation. Already booked for next year.

By far the best cabin we have rented in years. The cabin/view were excellent for 6 people. Hosts were very responsive to our questions/inquiries. We all wish we had reserved for a couple more days. Will absolutely be renting here again.

Beautiful view

This property was as advertised. Overlooking the river with pleasant sounds of water rushing over rapids, we certainly enjoyed the well stocked fire pit. The home is comfortably furnished and the kitchen is well designed for cooking. Our son and his young family stayed in the adjacent home, also owned by our host. We all plan to stay here again.

Spacious w/ great fire pit

Came to be near the water with family for a few days. Everyone had plenty of space, we cooked, put together a puzzle on the screened-in porch, enjoyed coffee on the top deck, hiked, played cards and made s’mores. It was a nice stay. Host was hospitable (left a welcome treat) and very quick to reply. Thank you
