Come enjoy this beautiful, spacious, and cozy - 2 bedroom cottage that sleeps 8 guests max. The cottage overlooks the beautiful Ellijay River, which is perfect for wading in the shallow water or laying out during the warmer months. In the winter, you will love listening to the peaceful river, while enjoying a beverage and staying warm around the outdoor firepit and soaking in your private hot tub. The hot tub is located inside your screened in porch, which also features a propane grill, and apicnic bench to enjoy your meals overlooking the river. The cottage is situated on 7 acres that is shared with our home, which is located next door. It is less that 2 miles to downtown Ellijay, 10-13 miles to downtown Blue Ridge, multiple apple orchards within a few mile radius, many winery & vineyards, as well as many hiking trails / waterfalls that are within a 30 minute drive. Your kids will love the Noah's ark playground & swings that we built which will be sure to keep them busy! Loungers are located on property for you to lay out. Tubing and kayaking are nearby at the Ellijay River Outfitters or the Cartecay River Experience. Inside The Cottage, you have 2 bedrooms (both upstairs) which sleeps 6 comfortably. One bedroom features a queen bed and the other bedroom has 2 sets of bunk beds- 4 beds in total. There is a half bathroom upstairs for both bedrooms to use. Downstairs, you enter the front door into the open kitchen, dining room, and living room. Imagine cozying up on the couch in front of the beautiful gas fireplace, with a glass of wine. The dining room has seating for 6 and there is also a full bathroom (with stand up shower) behind the kitchen. Weather you're looking for a romantic getaway, a girls weekend, quality family time, or just pure relaxation - this river front cottage is perfect for you!IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ !This home is what we call “the river cottage” on this property. “The river retreat” - please see listing link below - is located a few hundred feet away from the house. This is a rental as well, so understand you may have guests there, so if you want to be secluded, this is not the property for you. We planted fern trees to separate the yards, but until they grow larger, there will not be complete privacy. They have their own yard/hot tub/and firepit, so those will not be shared.Other things to note:LATE CHECK-OUTS & EARLY CHECK-INS: Check-in time is 4PM and checkout time is 11AM. Door codes do not activate until set check-in time. Early access will not be provided without prior approval.

    The home was clean and comfortable. Good internet. The hot tub was clean and wonderful. I would suggest that management provide both kitchen scrubbers and laundry supplies so that guests can execute on the check-out requests.

    We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. There is not a thing that our hosts didn't think of. We will be back.

    This property is exactly as described. Everything was fantastic! The weather wasn’t very cooperative during our stay, so fishing and fires were a bit tough, but we still had a great relaxing trip. This cottage is close to many things, but is still quiet and secluded.

    My wife and 2 boys stayed here for a few days, and really relaxed. The property is very private ( unless the house next door is rented) which was not. The creek is wonderful, my 2 boys splashed and played in the creek for hours. The house was very clean, a little pollen dust outside on all the porches, but thats to be expected this time of year, we have the same where we are in Florida. The cabin has everything you need, fully stocked kitchen, bed linens, comfortable furniture, Wifi, hot tub, HUGE yard for kids to play. The host was very quick to respond after a few quick questions. We would definitely stay here again. Elijay was 2 minutes away with everything you could need.

    Was nice , didn’t spend too much time here during our stay , but beds were comfy , nice area , neighbor super close though and there’s a chicken farm behind the property that smells pretty strongly . Home wasn’t cleaned very well and every door in the home is not straight , drags and has to slam to shut , very noisy . But beds are comfy .! House is beautiful . Pictures on listing should be updated though

    Loved this place! Especially the location! The little playground was perfect and the fire pit was delightful. Bring your own wood for the fire pit. Loved the hot tub, too!

    We came from FL to enjoy the fall colors here in northern GA. We wanted a cabin that was surrounded by nature but also close to a cute downtown. This little cabin has everything you need for a cozy get away ranging from board games to kitchen supplies. We used the hot tub and fire pit every night! We were not disappointed in our choice and would definitely come back!

    We really enjoyed our stay. We love the fact of the river was right in the backyard, and was very peaceful.
