RIVER FRONT Retreat perfect for families, couples, getaways.

I have to give this property a 5 STAR . Very clean and equipped as well as calming effect with the water flowing over the rocks in the river below. Something for all ages from game room,tubing or fishing right outside.The family time was excellent here. Already want to return and just left. Thanks for a great place to stay!!

Great house to relax and get to spend time together.

Amazing and relaxing stay! We will absolutely book again!

There were 8 first cousins that

Everything was very clean and neat. Kitchen oven mitts need to be washed, and outside chair cushions need a thorough cleaning but otherwise spotless, roomy and comfortable!

The whole place was very clean and such a nice place with beautiful views!

Beautiful space and it felt like home. The kitchen is well equipped, plenty of space to lounge around. Great views of the river. Questions and inquiries were answered promptly. We would definitely book here again.

Fantastic Setting and the house has everything you need. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks!

The host was quick to respond to any questions. The house was beautiful and loved the river view.

Cabin was top notch and the view of the river was 5 star! Great time with family with an incredibly surprise.

The cabin is gorgeous.

The house was very clean and appealing. A few minor quirks as expected with any rental. It was very well stocked with kitchen equipment.

This place has the WOW factor! That slab of granite at the bottom of the stairs was our permanent location 90% of the time. We took awesome family photos on it. We stayed 5 nights in September with 3 generations and had the most perfect weather, the most perfect time and the most perfect host (Matt). Website photos are accurate, but so much better in person. Super comfy beds, huge newly remodeled kitchen, remodeled bathrooms (upstairs). Loved the screened in porch (but would not recommend for preschool children as the screens needed replacing and some sort of reinforcement to prevent pushing through them and falling to lower level); Loved the fire pit; loved watching deer on the property. The sounds of the river were constant white noise outside. While the upstairs was beautifully remodeled, the downstairs was not, but was very clean and tons of space there and throughout the house. We enjoyed exploring the area (cider house, mushroom farm, soap store in town - I'd mention their names, but I don't think that's allowed on this website). The only reason for taking 1 star off was because there were some very minor things not really worth mentioning. I'm a picky renter and urge you to not hesitate on this one! I'd definitely return. I'm still dreaming about our stay.

The most beautiful River view in all of north Georgia. This place is truly special! This place is so close to downtown Ellijay and other attractions as well. The owners are fabulous and very responsive!!

Very relaxing and enjoyable.

Very nice house. Great showers, very comfortable beds, well-appointed kitchen, enjoyed looking out at trees from the many river facing windows. Loved hearing the running water of the river. Great outdoor seating. If you pull down to the garage, it is very difficult to turn around. Poor lighting in the dining area and stairwell. No bathmats or wash clothes. TV's difficult to operate and no instructions were provided. Convenient access to the river was deceptive. VRBO needs a better communication system. The power went out. A large tree fell across the road and the power lines were on the ground. With no access to the internet, we could not contact our host for help, we could not drive through to Ellijay, we could not contact the power company. felt STRANDED! Evidently a neighbor was able to report the problem and lucky for us the power was restored after several hours. NEED TO BE ABLE TO TEXT OR CALL THE HOST

Five Stars! The Perfect Mountain Getaway for Our Family ReunionWe found the perfect headquarters at this beautiful VRBO home on the Cartecay River in Ellijay, GA. From the moment we arrived, the check-in process was seamless—clear instructions, easy access, and everything ready for us to relax and enjoy. Great Wi-Fi too!The home exceeded our expectations. Every amenity we wanted was thoughtfully included—from a fully equipped kitchen and spacious living and bonus rooms to roomy bedrooms with great en-suites and large outdoor decks for gathering and relaxing. The sound of the river made for the most peaceful backdrop. Tubes and life-vests for our river float, and a HOT TUBE too! What made this place ideal was the floor plan—it was as if it was built with multi-generational families in mind. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out, yet the layout brought us together in all the right ways. The kids (teens are still kids - right?) loved their space (which included a pool table and air-hockey), the adult rooms had privacy, and the multiple living areas were perfect for meals, games, and late-night laughs. BTW - the 4 FULL baths were perfect! We couldn’t have asked for a better setting for our first reunion and making memories. Highly recommend!

I rent 3 or 4 VRBO's per year and this one is one of the best ever if not the best. And if I tell you how great it is, it might not be available next time we want to enjoy perfection. Everything for cooking, playing games, lounging, watching TV, relaxing in the water, tubing right down the street, hot tub, BBQ, fire pit . . . It didn't take us long to realize we'd found the best rental in Ellijay. Thanks!

As always we love this beautiful home. Our family has plenty of room to spread out and the opportunity to catch up and relax.

Perfect.

Great spot and beautiful location. Had fun relaxing, fishing, tubing, etc

3 generations gathered to celebrate Christmas. We had plenty of room, found everything we needed in the kitchen and enjoyed quality time together for Christmas.

Had a great time. Will come again.

We enjoyed our stay at River Front Retreat very much! The accommodations are excellent. We had cool weather and spent a lot of time sitting around the campfire in the nice fire pit area where we rested in the comfortable chairs and listened to the river rapids.. The riverside is gorgeous. Side trips to Brasstown Bald and Anna Ruby falls were awesome!

This was our third time staying at this property. It is well maintained, offers a lot of area activities and suits our family well. God willing, We plan to be back next year.
