    We had a great stay! The house was extremely clean and very well stocked - had everything we could have needed! The game room was so fun and the views of the river are great. We will definitely be back!

    One of the loveliest rental homes we've stayed in. The location was beautiful, the house was clean and comfortable, and Kim was a gracious and available host.

    We enjoyed our stay. We had six adults in our party. We loved that every bedroom had a king size bed. We spent 90% of our time on the large screened porch which offered plenty of seating. The sound of the river flowing was so calming & peaceful. The third bedroom is located upstairs, but there is no bathroom on the upper level. Even a half bathroom upstairs would be very nice.

    The directions to the home were very easy to follow, so we had no issues finding the house. The location was perfect. Locating right on the river, but only minutes away from town. Our host, Kim, communicated with us several times to make sure we had all necessary information about our stay and to make sure we had everything we needed. The house was perfectly decorated and had everything you could ever want for your stay. From the deck attached off the living room to the well stocked coffee bar, it was perfect for drinking my morning coffee while relaxing listening to the river. The home was very clean, spacious, comfortable, and had any amenity you could ever want want. My only regret is that I did not book an extra night. My wife and I will definitely book again in the future. Don't miss out on this gem!!!Jack and Susan

    My husband, myself my two kids and my son‘s girlfriend went and we had a fantastic time. Totally love the cabin. It was perfect. Weather wasn’t too cold so it was bearable to have a fire in the fire pit. Would definitely come back again. If you are competitive, then you would be living in the game room upstairs

    Such a cozy home! Kim and her staff are wonderful and very accommodating. The house was perfect for my Daughters, son in law, Grandson and my husband and myself. The view of the river was fantastic! Great central location for all of our day trips! One thing I was not clear on when booking was that both bathrooms are downstairs. The room upstairs was the perfect place for my daughter and her family. The baby slept great up there and could not hear us downstairs. All king beds was wonderful! Perfect size for all of us!

    The entire house was lovely but we spent all our time on the screened porch watching the river flowing by. So relaxing! There was a really great game room upstairs for kids. The beds were super comfortable but really high. Something to consider if there are older folks in your group. Highly recommended this rental if you are looking to destress and connect with loved ones.

    My family really enjoyed this cozy little cabin. The game room was great for keeping my kids entertained when we weren’t out exploring. The only thing my kids were disappointed with was the creek location was not suitable for actually getting in the water there and it was hard to fish from the bank. It had rained a little and the water looked like it was up and flowing pretty fast so that might have had an impact on our specific trip. Overall though this was a nice place to stay.

    We had a very relaxing vacation at this river home. Its in a quiet location close to Ellijay downtown and many other activities. Everything with the house was exactly in the listing. The host thought of little extras that make you feel right at home. Would definitely stay here again.
