Beautiful, completely renovated, small rustic cabin is situated DIRECTLY on the Cartecay River and located only 6 miles from downtown Ellijay, you cannot get any closer than the Riverside Retreat cabin!
The minute you exit your car, you will enjoy the rushing sounds of the river right in your backyard. Make s'mores by the firepit, fish right off your back deck, play in the water, go tubing down the river, play an arcade game in the recreation room or lounge in the private 7-person hot tub overlooking the river. After a day of fun, throw some burgers on the grill and eat on the outdoor dining table while soaking up the amazing views of the river from the back porch overlooking the river and the 2000 acres of wildlife management area across the river - nothing but nature!
This luxury cabin has many unique upgrades including kitchen with quartz countertops/ stainless appliances and exquisite stonework. It boasts 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a loft (with 2 twin beds) with all the bells and whistles. Perfect for a couple's retreat or for a small family of 6 get-away.

Summary: Our stay at this riverfront house was truly unforgettable! The location couldn't be more ideal — nestled right on the riverbank, the house offered both adventure and relaxation for our whole family. One of the highlights was tubing down the gentle current with our kids; we spent hours floating, laughing, and enjoying the beauty of the water and surrounding nature.After our river adventures, we loved unwinding on the spacious porch that sits directly over the water. Whether it was sipping coffee in the morning or enjoying a glass of wine at sunset, the peaceful sound of the river flowing by made it the perfect backdrop for relaxation. The view is simply breathtaking.The house itself was clean, well-equipped, and full of charm. We felt right at home the moment we arrived. This was exactly the kind of escape we needed, and we’re already dreaming about our next visit. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful riverside retreat with a splash of family fun!
