About this property

The Farmhouse- Riverfront, Fiber, HotTub, Fish, DogOK, Game Room, Movie Room

Rainbow Riverside Farmhouse is a breathtaking cabin offering a wonderful feeling of seclusion and privacy along scenic Mountaintown Creek in the private Coosawattee River Resort. Watch as the geese glide into land, browse at the herd of deer grazing in the meadow next door, catch a glimpse of the giant Blue Heron who often visits this tranquil valley. Cool off with a swim in the river. Bring a tube and walk up stream and float your stress away. Experience magic.

The Space
Enjoy all this from a newly remodeled five-star cabin that includes details such as professional hair care products, luxurious bedding and towels, a fully stocked gourmet kitchen, a game room with Air Hockey and Foosball, a movie room with a 75" Smart TV/Sound Bar/DVD/Blu-ray player, two fireplaces(one firepit) to choose from, a wide assortment of board games, poker set, cards, a luxury Bull Frog Hot Tub with lounge seat, 2 king masters with balconies overlooking the river. You simply will not find a nicer cabin in a more idyllic setting.

Guest Access
You will enjoy access to the entire home and nearly 1,000 feet of private riverfront as we own two additional lots and three adjacent homes.

Other things to note
Note that our base rate is for 4 people and that the rate increases $15 per night per each additional Guest up to 8 total Guests or an additional $60 per night. This allows us to offer a more reasonable rate for smaller parties.

PETS- While we do allow a pet, we only allow one dog that is 50 pounds or less and at least 2 years old. We require a Vet Health Certificate confirming the dog's age, weight, and that its vaccinations are current along with a photo of the dog. Note that there is a pet fee of $35/night with a $70 minimum charge per stay.

Now with Fiber Internet!

Please note, while access to the cabin is generally easy(we drive a Hyundai Sonota Hybrid), the last ~1/3 of a mile is on a community maintained gravel road. Parking for up to 3 cars is off-street and there are no stairs to enter the cabin.

Finally, note that our air conditioning and heating system is set to allow for a minimum temperature setting of 72 degrees and maximum temperature of 76 degrees.. Experience has taught us that these temperatures are very comfortable for most Guests and is an important part of our energy conservation program. In the event that a Guest desires a lower or higher setting, we are happy to accommodate this need allowing a setting as low as 68 or 80 degrees for a surcharge of $10/night.

We will be available to help at any time during your stay. We have lived in the area for years and are happy to help in any way we can. From restaurants to activities, our Welcome Book which will be provided covers many details of the area.

Coosawattee River Resort is a gated community that consists of over 5,500 acres. Amenities offered within the community include parks, tennis courts, a rec center with an indoor pool, and more. Note that all these amenities are now included with our $60 Resort Fee for up to 8 adults and unlimited kids! Two Guest Cards are provided at the cabin with each card admitting up to 4 adults to any of the facilities. Any kids must always be accompanied by adults. Please note that Guests are responsible for making certain the cards are returned to the cabin at the end of their stay. Any lost or missing cards will result in a $25 replacement fee.

WOW! Class Act

Brad the property manager was absolutely fantastic to work with, we felt very comfortable booking this Cabin for our vacation from the very beginning. Great communication, wonderful website with guides to the resort along with great recommendations for activities around the area. The cabin was spotless when we arrived, the decor and use of space was really well thought out be the owners. Also, it was nice knowing that they owned all 4 properties along the river bank and that they were all rentals being vetted by Brad and the management company. We really enjoyed the game room, we stayed up all night playing air hockey. Very accommodating to our furry babies, even supplying a crate so we didn't need to bring one. I like to cook and at home I have a robust kitchen, most rentals are missing a lot of what you need to cook meals from scratch. This kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed and then some. Comfortable beds with rooms spread out around the house. Overall this was the best rental we have used and we will absolutely use Elestay properties when in the area in the future.

Wonderful property

The cabin is beautiful and thoughtfully furnished with everything you will need (shampoo, air freshener, flashlights, firewood, etc). We loved the sound of the rushing stream outside and all the visiting animals, including deer. The little nook off of the living room was one of our favorite spaces, as it was comfy and offered lovely views of the meadow and the stream.

Nice property

Fresh remodel on older home, nice lot great view, could use a powerwashing on rear decks, plumbing slow to drain. Temp ac unit helped furniture was kind of worn in living room. But overall was on point for the price range. Lots of long messages from owner and owner was very thoughtful with much added helpful items labels and instructions. The gatehouse personnel could be much more accommodating. The kids enjoyed the place.

Wonderful Place!!

Brad's house on the river was everything we hoped for when booking. Incredibly well maintained with beautiful views of the river. All the essentials were provided including firewood and an absolutely delcious Apple Pie. We saw deer on the property eveyday during our visit as we sat relaxing on the deck and by the firepit. Brad was a terrific host before and during our stay and communication was outstanding. Brad has a beautiful place we highly recommend!!

Absolutely incredible! Beautiful custom home!

We've stayed at a LOT of properties over the years and this place is one of our top favorites. What a beautifully designed home with lots of custom touches, thoughtful decor and colors, and lots of extra details that make it a truly memorable experience. Clear directions for the technology, high end hot tub, bright interior with big picture window views of the river, SUPER comfy beds, radiant floor heating in the master bath! So many things to say, you just have to experience this place for yourself. We had a relaxing time with friends and needed a quiet retreat to escape the noise of regular life, and this is exactly what we needed. Would definitely come back and stay again!!

Spring Break by the River

After searching for the right place for our family, we selected this cabin and it did not disappoint! You can pretty much just bring you and your clothes because the home is equipped with just about everything you can think of. Our family loved fishing from the river, and simply just relaxing on the deck. We had deer Come around us at night and enjoyed the geese during the day always playing in the creek. Neighborhood amenities are nice to have on a down day with kids, but enjoy the winding ride to get to them. Thank you for having us and helping assist with any questions along the way!

Magical stay

We came up for the Easter weekend. It was magical from the start with all the white tail deer and geese roaming free! The property is beautiful and well appointed and maintained. Brad left a welcome pie from the local apple orchard which was a fantastic addition to our first impression of the house. The entire property has relaxation and comfort in mind. We will be returning soon. Thanks for making our stay so easy and well worth the price. You’ve made a beautiful escape there.

Great Memories

The house was clean and everything labeled so you knew where everything was and where it went. Kids loves feeding the deer and geese. Brad was easy to communicate with and helped when needed. Another great thing is we have ATT and no cell service so we could enjoy our time as a family but the internet is fast and reliable if you need to search for places to go and things to do. If you get the apple pie you better bring a lunch I’ve never seen a pie that big.
