Cozy cabin 15 feet from water's edge on the Cartecay River has wide screened-in deck, massive wood-burning rock fireplace and all wood floors. 2 Bedroom, 1 full bath log home sleeps 4 in 1 queen and 2 twin beds. Cable TV, wireless internet, central heat & air bring modern amenities to a place that harkens back to a by-gone era, waiting for you by the river.

Prepare your favorite vacation meals in our fully equipped kitchen or grill up your specialties to serve al fresco on the deck or at the kitchen table. Relax on the deck and watch the river run over rocks just beyond the screen door. Recline in the master bedroom to the sound and view of the gently shoaling water. Wade on in to cool off in summer. Cast a line from the bank, just outside the deck. Relax by the fireplace and hear the crackle of wood logs in winter. Head out to the fire ring to roast hotdogs or toast marshmallows.

Venture out for a hike on the Appalachian Trail, a mountain bike adventure nearby, a ride down the river in a canoe, kayak or inner tube, or a visit to an Ellijay orchard. Or just stay put, mesmerized by the sight and sound of the river.

Get close to nature and those you love this season in our Little Log Cabin on the Cartecay.

    Enjoyed my visit. You feel like your way out but not far from modern conveniences. This was a great place to stay and I loved hearing and seeing the water.

    The cabin is old and rustic, but it was absolutely perfect. Super cozy, private, and right next to a river. Can hear the water flowing from the bedroom.

    Don't be fooled by the gravel road! It's worth it!Upon entering the cabin we were greeted with the refreshing, rustic, scent of pine planking. A real treat to experience! Located just feet from the river, the gurgling sounds make it easy to sleep (and sleep in). Beds were comfortable with a just the right amount of charm. The bathroom is small, but just fine! Kitchen was well stocked with anything you could need to meal prep and entertain. Cozy cabin! Just perfect for a weekend getaway.

    We had a wonderful stay at this cabin. The location was absolutely phenomenal—being so close to the river made the entire experience feel peaceful and refreshing. The screened-in porch was one of our favorite spots, especially for breakfast while listening to the soothing sound of the water. The rocking chairs were such a nice touch and made it even easier to sit back and truly relax.There were just a couple of small hiccups—the lockbox was a bit tricky to open at first, and the stovetop didn’t work properly, which made cooking dinner a little challenging. However, we were able to work around it and still enjoyed our meals outside with the calming river in the background.Overall, it was a lovely stay, and we really appreciated the atmosphere and charm of the cabin.

    Amazing stay — truly a gem!We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin! The photos don’t even come close to capturing how beautiful, cozy, and inviting it truly is. It was perfect and incredibly comfortable for our family of four.The fireplace made the space extra special, and enjoying bonfires and s’mores was such a highlight (just remember to bring firewood). The kitchen is well stocked, the beds are super comfortable, and having BBQ meals on the deck while listening to the river was unforgettable.Waking up to the sound of the river every morning felt like a gift. The cabin was spotless inside and out, and the host was exceptional — responsive, helpful, and available before, during, and after our stay.We highly recommend this property without hesitation. A truly luxurious and memorable experience — we can’t wait to come back!

    Super cozy cabin with screened porch for enjoying the sound of running water from the creek. Beds were comfy and kitchen had all the basics. May want to bring some foil and other spices if you plan on cooking. Beautiful location close enough to town but far enough from the Apple festival crowds.

    The pictures don't do it justice. The screened porch right on the riverbank is a dream. You can hear the gentle sounds of the river through the bedroom windows. The total darkness after lights out is such a treat compared to the light pollution of the city. The location is close enough to go into town for a meal but far enough away to feel like another world.

    This cabin was Perfect for a family of four.•I would suggest downloading Jane’s instructions beforehand as cell service might be limited (zero with AT&T).•Once we connected to the house WIFI, lack a reception was a non-issue with WIFI calling. The service was able to handle 4 streaming devices at once with no lag.The highlight of the cabin was the river. We spent most of our time wading in the river. The host, Jane, is readily available and responsive, typically answering questions within 20-30 minutes. We took advantage of Amicalola Falls State Park, Downtown Blue Ridge, Downtown Ellijay.

    This is an excellent fishing cabin. The cabin furnishings are a little outdated and the cabin has a slight musty smell. If you like to watch TV in bed at night, then this cabin may not be for you. The back porch overlooking the river is relaxing. Excellent location, excellent fishing. Lacking comfort. Also, the cabin is full of warnings of “what not to do” and threats of losing the deposit that sets a “tone” that does not convey hospitality. I feel there are ways to provide that information to your guests and still remain hospitable. We love the Cartecay River but we probably would not choose this property again due to the lack of comfortable furnishings and the tone set by the owner with the warnings,

    Very clean, Due to health issues my husband needs a chair rather than sofa, the one shown in photos was not usable. Fire pit had not been cleaned off, would have taken a while of cleaning to be able to use it, even though they knew we were coming. Access to the river was not as clear as shown in photos so couldn't fish. Called the renter a few times before we received a call back. All these issues and fee was non-refundable. After discussing and advising we were having to move to a different location for the rest of our trip and no offer was made for even a portion of the fee. Would not rent again.
