River Front on the Cartecay River. New high-end, custom, dual master suites. 4BR/4 Bath jewel with one of the most unique river lots you will find. All paved roads. Tons of parking. Only 10 minutes to downtown Ellijay and 60 minutes from Atlanta. Just an hour's drive from Atlanta, this Cartecay River House is made for water lovers. Situated on one of the best spots on the Cartecay River near Ellijay, enjoy 2200 sqft of private decks, with steps directly into the river (via your own flat granite rock). You'll see whitewater views and hemlock evergreen pine trees from every river-facing window and deck in this spacious home. The water is always flowing below you, and the sounds of the rushing river will sooth your heart and soul. A family of deer visit most days. Here at River's Edge Lodge, you'll be surrounded by nature inside and out. With fully paved roads and a paved driveway right to the front door, you will enjoy easy access and privacy. River's Edge features dual master suites on the first floor (each with a King bed), along with a 3rd full bathroom. The terrace level has two more bedrooms, a full bathroom, second den, game room/bunk room. If you're bringing another family, you've got the perfect setting for entertaining, with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a huge gourmet kitchen, and plenty of activities for the kids. You and your guests will have all the entertainment you need here by the river. The backyard has a beach-like feeling, with huge river rocks near the river to sun bathe on, a calm swimming hole, even a sandy beach to play on. Go kayaking, or drop off (or walk to the end of the street) the kids a few minutes upstream so they can float down the river on their tubes back to the cabin. The tube takeout is 500 yards down the street. You can spend your days fishing, tubing, making sandcastles, collecting river rocks, and simply enjoying a lazy afternoon lounging on the river decks. There's plenty more to do away from the water as well. Go apple picking at one of the orchards just a few minutes' drive away. BJ Reese and Hillcrest Orchards are less than 10 minutes. River's Edge is less than 15 minutes to multiple vineyards, including Roo, Faimting Goat, or Cartecay Vineyards. Or, downtown Ellijay with many restaurants, a brewery, shops, and wine tasting is only 10 minutes. Downtown Blue Ridge is only 20 minutes. When you're ready to unwind at night, dip into the hot tub or enjoy the fire pits to relax. If you're still feeling energized from the day, enjoy the game room. Kids will enjoy playing games or watching TV in the basement den and game room, while the adults can enjoy the decks, wood fireplace, or upstairs den. There is lots of parking with the paved circular driveway. From the driveway, it is stepless to access the first floor, making River's Edge perfect for those who would prefer to avoid stairs (though there are stairs to access the River). The two main floor bedrooms each boast ensuite, high-end bathrooms with double vanities, river rock, and custom showers. 1st Floor Bed: King (BR1), King (BR2) Terrace Level: Queen (BR3), Queen (BR4), Full, Full (Bunk Room) Amenities WiFi; YouTubeTV; Roku on every TV Sleeps 10 (2 king, 2 queens, 2 double beds) Game Room - billiards/pool table, poker table, outside deck, sofa, chair, coffee table, end tables, lamps, rug, gas stove, board games; YouTube TV for live TV, Every TV wifi equipped; Outdoor - screened-in porch, dining table seats 4, 4 extra chairs, end table, rug, ceiling fan; hot tub seats 5 on lower deck, fire pits - one by the house and one by the river; Interior - wood tongue and groove, warm drywall finishes, ceiling fans; Kitchen - fully equipped kitchen, custom cabinets, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, kitchen island seats 3, kitchen utensils, microwave, coffee maker, waffle maker, crockpot, toaster, blender; Dining Room - dining table seats 6; Driveway - paved road to cabin, paved driveway ITEMS WE PROVIDE: Initial supply of paper towels and toilet paper (we recommend that you bring an extra supply if you are staying longer than two days or have a large group.)

The stairs must be watched closely with small children, but we had no issues with them. The hot tub was clean and a very much appreciated. Comfy beds, super nice and clean bathrooms, easy access to town. We really couldn’t have asked for a better spot to hang out for a relaxing few days. Highly recommend! ##### Angel S.

Five buddies and I had a great time here for three nights hanging out, cooking and playing games. The entire cabin feels spacious and cozy, very comfortable. The kitchen was amazing and we had everything we needed to make all of our meals. All of the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were really nice; they looked recently remodeled. The view of the river is AMAZING. Only drawback was the hot tub was not ready for use when we arrived; it was pretty green. I messaged the host about it and he sent over his cleaning professional who tended to it right away. I appreciated the promptness of his response. Would definitely stay here again!

There was an AC issue that was addressed ASAP by the property manager with excellent communication. Matthew was on top of any issue we had. The family enjoyed everything from the river, tubing, pool table (a little off, but still fun), air hockey table, Cornhole, fire pit for a great time roasting marshmallows, site seeing, etc. Would recommend to any party wanting to get away, but yet be close to most things. Just bring your food and sit back and listen to the river and visiting animals (deer, birds, geese, Copper the dog). ##### Joyce W. Stayed 8 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David C. Feb 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spectacular location We went for winter break. The cabin size was great--we had a group of 5 but it could easily fit more than that. The updated kitchen and bathroom were really nice to have a good mix of modern and cabin. We loved the indoor fireplace and that the hot tub was at a great temperature when we arrived. The upstairs living room was very comfortable and we spent most of our evenings there. Internet service worked great but of course the star of the show is the river. It is just so cool to head out back down the stairs to the river. We brought rain and farm boots and had fun in the water (would have to be even more fun in warmer seasons). Also really enjoyed being close to Ellijay and enjoyed visiting downtown. Loved it and will probably bring family or friends next visit. ##### David C. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lynn W.

This was our 2nd visit and would recommend it to others. There were a few issues this year that are reflected in the ratings in the survey. 1. There was no info book or contact info available. 2. There was a very heavy layer of leaves in all outdoor spaces (I brought my own leaf blower this year). 3. Downstairs shower drain is very slow. ##### Lynn W.

May 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ready to return We lucked out finding this beautiful home. The location was a perfect place for our group of ten (parents with three sons and their girlfriends plus two infant twins). Downstairs was spacious and the perfect hangout spot for the older teens. Large master bedrooms on the main level with updated bathrooms. The living room/dining room/kitchen area is open concept while still offering private space. Kids enjoyed the hot tub, and we had a nice time making s’mores by the fire pit. Our family is scattered around the southeast and unable to all get together often. We are all so grateful to have had the opportunity to spend time together in such a beautiful setting. There’s something so soothing and calming about the river, and it was a treat to fall asleep with the windows open listening to the water. Thank you to the owner/s for offering your space. Can’t wait to visit again! ##### Amber E. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kirk M.
