    This property was beautiful and the Cartecay River was amazing to stay on. It was the week of Thanksgiving and the temperature was COLD (low of 22) but the cabin stayed warm without really any issue.The decorations were lovely, the home itself had a log book going back to the late 90s detailing many of the visitors and was a great read as a fan of history.The kitchen had many of the items we needed to cook, but not all. Be prepared that you may have to buy some of the basics (oil and salt) and they had a griddle instead of a frying pan, but the kitchen itself was completely usable (we cooked Thanksgiving here).There's a wood-burning stove in the living room, but it's decorative only, so no real fireplace.Close to downtown and amenities (we had a hospital visit and the drive was less than 10 minutes) so if you need to run to the store for something, no issues at all.This property is a great one, and if we plan on coming back, this property is one we would love to revisit.

    The cabin was great and appreciate it being pet friendly. One thing I want to mention is the mattress is in the master bedroom. It should be upgraded.

    Cabin was very cozy. Den is roomy with plenty sitting. The river and porch was so nice and relaxing after town. Built a fire at river. Dogs loved the yard and newly built river deck. True river cabin!

    Cozy little cabin awesome views of the cartecay river with quick access to downtown ellijay. We did have to be careful letting our small chihuahua outside to use bathroom due to 2 large stray dogs. Could have been dogs from some of the permanent residents near the cabin. Other then that very nice stay and nice part of the river with some rapids.

    Great little cabin. Well appointed. Right on the river with a deck platform to oversee the water a plus. Really enjoyed our stay. One issue - The upstairs bedrooms are not adequately air conditioned. Need a separate unit with thermostat for that area. There was an overhead fan and an extra floor fan, but all they did was circulate warm air.

    The property was exactly as described and pictured. Our son loved playing in the creek and we all enjoyed relaxing as we listened to the sound of the river. We wish the AC could have been colder at night, but other than that this was a perfect getaway!
