We had an amazing stay and made such good memories with my Momma. It was her last trip and she got to enjoy family, fishing and lots of laughs and good food.
My husband and I absolutely fell in love with this place. The river is perfect and having the screened in porch was great! We saw so many deer! It was magical! We will definitely be visiting again!!
This place was perfect! Off the beaten path and very secluded. I do hope they continue the repairs and upkeep. The view is amazing. Deer every night! Very quiet.
Very quiet and peaceful. An easy drive to Walmart and grocery store.
Lots and lots of deer,and fun to watch rafters go by on the river, from the screed porch
We enjoyed our stay very much.
We were able to sit outside or on the screen porch and watch the water spill over the rapids and watch the geese land on the river and feed also! We saw many deer feeding all along the roads and river banks. We had a GREAT, relaxing time!
We had a Great Weekend. Enjoyed the cabin on the river so much! Sitting by a bonfire at night listening to the rapids was Amazing. And we enjoyed the screened in porch also
The neighborhood was great. The unit was clean and the beds were comfortable. We truly enjoyed out stay. Getting from the entrance gate to the unit was challenging. Lots of turns, lots of curves, and lots of deer.
The location on the river is lovely. It does require a decent drive into the resort which it is located within (10-15 minutes from the gate). The property is clean and quiet. The cabin has relatively basic appliance/finishings etc with some needed maintenance. The surrounding town has plenty of activities for a few days.
Wonderful weekend at great cabin on river. Full length screen in deck over looking small Rapids with great sounds. Many deer, ducks, birds to watch. 2 bedrooms with new Mattress. Cozy Den good kitchen & baths. Will be back here.
I really loved my visit to this cottage. The owners were great, and the location is perfect. While it is a challenge to find, and you MUST use Google Maps as the owner mentions multiple times, once you arrive it is worth the drive. The roads are safe, but go slow to enjoy all the wildlife along the roads. The cottage sits right on the banks of the river, so you can hear it from inside. The screened-in porch is amazing, and the cottage is perfect for the ideal getaway. We will definitely book again.
We loved our stay here! It was quiet and peaceful which is exactly what we were looking for. The only downside or warning I would give is for people that get carsick easily. The drive to the house past the gate is extremely curvy and hilly. But once you arrive at the house it makes it all worth it!! We will definitely be back.
This cabin was wonderful! Absolutely beautiful setting, river right off the screen porch, could hear the sounds all the time. Fire pit to make a fire, so very relaxing ! Roads a little curvy getting to the cabin, but no problems. House was very nice. Had everything we needed. WiFi was great, no problems. Town of Ellijay had a very nice Ingles grocery store and many eating places to choose from. Would definitely book this rental again!!!
We had a nice stay at this property. I would not want to drive in for the first time after dark. Roads were good, but might be tricky after dark. Owner was accurate in all their descriptions of the property. Very dated, but quite comfortable & had adequate amenities. Very quiet & beautiful river!!
This was our second stay at Riverhaus. We enjoy the location- see title. The property owners description is accurate. They made some changes; added nightstands and bedside lamps to the upstairs bedroom and changed out the porch furniture.( different from on line pictures- all beautiful)
The home is very clean, the kitchen well stocked.A very relaxing location and well worth the drive to the property location.
The closeness to the river is beautiful. But the cabin needs major updates and a cleaning. Wet plates in the cabinet and cleaners still there almost an hour after check in time. The bathroom downstairs has broken tile and the kitchen is in need of major cleaning and update.
We stayed at the cabin for a birthday weekend. The cabin had everything we needed and was very cozy and comfy. The view to the river is breathtaking and the screened in porch is large and inviting. It was crazy cold outside so we were not able to enjoy the screened in porch, grill, or firepit but we loved the fire we made in the wood burning fireplace. Getting to the cabin was tough upon arrival but the host was available and helped us immediately. We want to come back in the summer or fall!
I would rate this as one of the best cabins that I have stayed in. The river running at your back door, deer coming to visit every day. The only issue I have with this cabin is the lack of TV stations. I know you are in a cabin in the woods but you have the baseball playoff’s and college football on the weekend. This cabin was advertised as having local TV channels. We were unable to find any local stations. Hulu will no longer allow you to sign into two locations at one time, so Hulu was out. For some reason I could not cast from my phone to the TV down stairs. The cabin was great but the TV select was horrible.
We absolutely loved it! I am 57, my daughter 20 and dad 84. The location is so beautiful! And peaceful !!! We could not have been happier! It served its purpose. My 84 year old dad has not been himself since losing my mom last April. They were married almost 61 years. He smiled more, recited poetry again, he commented on the beauty several times a day. I saw joy in his eyes again.
There are deer everywhere. The river is stunning and we had mallard ducks visiting us daily. The house is so quaint and cozy! The tv goes off line but if you unplug everything for 10 seconds and plug back in, go back to direct tv . It works fine.
I am very experienced in driving winding, steep roads with many blind spots and hairpin turns so I do warn those that are fearful or have anxiety with this to take caution. There are no lights so at night you are pretty much in complete darkness on a very narrow road. My sister couldn’t make it. Also if you have anyone with a medical condition, it takes at least 15 to 20 minutes just to get out of the community from this location. This is just worth mentioning for anyone with issues to consider these
Things.
The cottage on the river is pretty perfect as far as we are concerned! Be sure to buy firewood because there wasn’t any when we arrived and we love to have a fire in fireplace or in fire pit.
