Wake up to the sound of the Cartecay River flowing just steps from your door. Branches on the Cartecay is a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom riverfront cabin sleeping up to 10 guests — just 10 minutes from downtown Ellijay and 19 miles from Blue Ridge, entirely on paved roads.

The Outdoors
Step outside to your private riverfront with direct fishing access to one of Georgia's best mountain rivers. The Cartecay is home to Rainbow Trout, Redeye Bass, Spotted Bass, Bluegill, and more —your fishing hole is literally your backyard. Soak in the private hot tub with sweeping treetop and mountain views, gather around the outdoor fire pit for s'mores under the stars, or relax under the covered outdoor pavilion while watching wildlife along the riverbank. Walk out the neighborhood gate to the adjacent 2,100-acre Rich Mountain Wildlife Management Area — one of North Georgia's premier destinations for hiking and mountain biking.

The Game Room
Challenge your crew to pool, ping pong, or just kick back with the built-in entertainment setup. The game room also features a queen pull-out sofa bed, extending sleeping capacity to 10 guests total.
The Bedrooms
Four private bedrooms configured for comfort — 3 kings and 1 queen — with 3 full bathrooms serving the entire cabin. Plenty of space for families, friend groups, or a multi-family getaway.

The Location
Branches sits in a secure gated community just 10 minutes from downtown Ellijay on all paved roads — no dirt roads, no navigation stress, no clearance issues. From here you're perfectly positioned for everything North Georgia has to offer:

Ellijay's apple orchards, vineyards, and farm-to-table restaurants
Blue Ridge and the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway (19 miles)
Tubing and rafting on the Cartecay and Ellijay Rivers
Mountain biking trails at Fort Mountain State Park
Georgia Apple Blossom Festival (May)
Dancing Goats FolkFest (September)
Georgia Apple Festival (October)

Guest Access
The entire cabin is yours — fully private with exclusive riverfront access and the added security of a gated community.

    The cabin was so beautiful! From the time we arrived until the time we left there were deer walking through the property it was so neat to just sit back on the porch and watch. The location was perfect and easy to get to and from everything. Definitely recommend Dahlonega Downtown, Elijah Downtown, Amicola Falls, Cohutta Overlook and Reece’s cider to name a few. We will definitely be back! The McRorie’s

    We had a truly wonderful few days and Jonathan, our host, couldn’t have been nicer. Promptly responded to any questions we had. The kids were so happy to see all the deer - and we saw many! Property centrally located.

    Cabin was great. Owner was very responsive and helpful. The river by the cabin was a little murky for my taste but the owner gave me some tips of other areas to go in and was spot on! had a great time.

    We attended a wedding in Ellijay and this home was perfect for our family. The home had 4 bedrooms and a sleeper sofa. The bedroom on the bottom floor was perfect for my son and daughter-in-law because they have an infant. They were able to put him down for naps there away from all of the distractions. The river was lovely and there are lots of deer and other wildlife. We also enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor fireplace. Would love to stay here again.

    This cabin is a great stay. The neighborhood is nice, quiet, and easy to get to. The cabin handled 4 couples with ease and comfort. Plenty of supplies and room for all. The entertainment downstairs was exceptional and fun. The hottub was clean, warm and enjoyable. We truly enjoyed every aspect of this place, for a great price.Our only minor negatives would be: 1) The fire pit area is not for the faint of heart.. emphasis on faint! It’s quite the walk down there albeit the really only viable spot on the property and we still enjoyed it. 2) The front door has a security camera that faces the hot tub area. It would be preferred to not have the discomfort of such camera while in bathing attire.

    We had a wonderful stay. Everything was as pictured and expected Jon was very quick to respond to text when we had questions. Kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed the waffle maker! Personally I prefer t mattress but other than that I have nothing but positive feedback.

    The property is beautiful and has so many amenities! We came up for a long weekend for my husband’s birthday with both of our grown kids, their spouses and our 2 month old grandson. I was so excited to find a cabin with 3 king size beds, one for each couple! We will definitely be back!!

    We had a great time staying here, although the night before we headed up to Ellijay there was a storm that came through and nocked out all the power, the host Johnathan kept us updated on everything and made sure we were all set for our stay. There were definitely some upgrades around the house we would recommend like the main floor bathroom toilet seat was broken and the house had some cobwebs like no one had been through in a bit. The back yard on the way down to the river was VERY steep, my mother with feet problems was only able to stay on the stairs and couldn't go further due to how steep and rocky the trail down the fire pit was. You also couldn't get into the water very easily, we didn't get in because we knew we couldn't have gotten back up. Overall the stay was amazing, we loved playing pool and ping pong downstairs and relaxing in the hot tub!

    We had a great time, from the games inside to the fire pit and river outside. Host made things seamless as well. We will definitely be staying here again.
