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.
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.
We had our adult children and 4 grands for 3 nights. The space for large families is awesome! Plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, and even more sleeping space! Best equipped kitchen ever! Hot tub was amazing! The river is amazing and the kids and grands did nonstop runs down the river! The only major con is the number of steps to the river. Old folk cant do itâŠeven the kids said it was hard! But we did love it there!
I would rate this property all time best on my list. The property is spacious, well stocked, brand new Cuisinart Coffee Maker which was important for my wifeâs tastebud. The rooms were clean, the stairs to the river was used as a daily workout. 100 stairs to climb. We used the provided tubes to ride the river. What a blast that was. You just walked down the hill to the end of Mulkey rd and launch your tube. Itâs a nice 7-10 mins ride. It was a bit challenging at first, but then you get the hang of it. The host was responsive to our needs. Will definitely do it again.
We had a group of friends and family get together for the first time in many years. The house was great for having multiple couples as well as single adults as plenty of bed options. The outside has multiple decks for relaxing and a swimming hole to cool off in. All loved the home and location. Great get away yet only 10 minutes from Ellijay for groceries and restaurants. Would stay again.
We just returned from our 6th stay at this location over the course of the last 10 years - which says it all. We LOVE the house, the river, Ellijay and the surrounding areas! The Cartecay river - from the first time I stepped into it - became part of my heart. We are already looking forward to visiting again!!
The house is well-appointed and plenty big enough for our ten guests. The game room downstairs was perfect for our kids after the adults were wiped out from a day on the river. The kitchen has everything you need to cookâwe didnât go out to eat at all! 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 couldnât have asked for a better spot to hang out for a relaxing few days. Highly recommend!
This is the second time weâve stayed here and we love it! Group of adults and we all had plenty of room. Love the river feature and all the outdoor space. Love the big island in the kitchen and the dining table. Love the big couch in the downstairs living room. Bathrooms are spacious and very nice. We love reading, playing games, and just hanging out on our spring break and this is perfect spot!!
My family and Iïž loved our stay. Very clean, beautiful views, plenty of room, close proximity to Elijay and several vineyards! Would definitely stay here again!
We really enjoyed our stay. The entire family did things together and explored in our own
It was convenient to Ellijay but we felt the feeling of nature.
We hope to come back again.
Such a lovely property that was everything we would ask for in a family retreat..saw a lot of deer and a few bears on the property and surrounding properties..the weather was great..close to everything we wanted to explore..would never hesitate to rent this property..this is our second stay
We all enjoyed the cabin. Kids loved having their on space downstairs away from the adults.
Listening to the river was amazing too. Especially falling asleep to the sound of the river.
This is a beautiful property and for the most part well maintained. 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.
The home was wonderful and welcoming. We went to get away and relax as a family and could not have asked for more. The stairs are no joke but well worth it to relax in the water. The kitchen is very well stocked and spacious enough for everyone to gather. We look forward to going back next year.
This location is so gorgeous it makes you wonder why you live anywhere else. Cabin is so comfortable and our children adored the river. Great hiking nearby. Make sure you stop and get some boiled peanuts just up the road. Best stocked kitchen we have ever been in.
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 sâmores 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. Thereâs 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. Canât wait to visit again!
The transaction was super easy from start to finish. 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).
