About this property

Riverfront, loud rapids, screen porch-River's Echo (neighboring Rapids' Echo

Located directly on the Coosawattee River, you'll love the calming sound of the river both day and night. The last 1/2 mile of roads to the cabin are gravel, so even though you're only an hour or so north of the city, you'll feel a world away from life's 'normal' stress.

There is a large covered porch with ceiling fans and plenty of seating, including a log swing. Enjoy meals on the huge screened in porch while being entertained by the abundant wildlife both in the wooded yard and in the river. It's not uncommon to see deer playing in the river or crossing through the yard. Let your relaxation continue as you build your own campfire by the river. Terrace level patio features a 6-person hot tub - perfect way to end an evening if you choose.

Main floor features a living room with a gas fireplace and a 55-inch TV. Kitchen with plenty of counter space and stainless steel appliances is stocked with all the culinary tools you'll need - coffee maker, pots and pans, cutlery, bottle opener, etc. Large Master bedroom features King log bed with high-quality mattress for a perfect night's sleep. Master Bath has whirlpool bath and separate shower.

Upper level has loft area and second Master bedroom which also has King size log bed. Walk out of this bedroom onto a small private covered porch.

Terrace level is the 'fun' zone, featuring a large seating area with 55 inch TV, board games, puzzles and books. There is also a full-sized ping pong table (with paddles and balls) if you're feeling competitive. Bedroom with 2 Twin log beds connects to full bathroom with washer/dryer.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful mountain cabin on the river. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how peaceful and scenic the property was. The sound of the river flowing nearby made it incredibly relaxing.The cabin itself was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. It had everything we needed for a perfect getaway, and you could tell a lot of care had gone into making the space welcoming for guests. We especially loved spending time outside enjoying the river and the quiet surroundings.This was the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat or a cozy place to spend time with family, this cabin is truly special. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful mountain escape!

The host was incredible! Super responsive and welcoming. The cabin itself was beautiful. Amazingly comfortable with lots of amenities and space for many people. I picked this place because the hosts were well rated and there many high reviews and I can see why! It lived up to all expectations. It feels very private even being next to another cabin. The hottub and firepit are awesome!

I usually don't review things, but this property deserved a review. This VRBO was one of the best ones I have stayed in. The views and sounds, impeccable!! The couches and chairs VERY comfortable and classy. Large TV screens in all rooms and very comfortable beds. Large decks all around and decks off every room with awesome comfortable chairs and views. Lots of seating areas everywhere. Nice game room downstairs, loved the jacuzzi!The kitchen was well stocked, great for a foodie chef to cook in. There is a gas stove, and the fridge has filtered water and automatic ice maker. Only downside was the plastic spatulas and lots of plastic glasses (you know what they say about plastic). Using plastic spatulas in cooking is a big no no. The pans were a little worn Teflon, but stainless steel or titanium pans could fix that problem easily. But everything else was top notch. We loved our stay. Ellijay is a cute town, and we also went to Blueridge which is even cuter. The Roos vineyard is exceptionally classy with great views, and they now have a restaurant which is very good. The wine was great too.

Rivers Echo exceeded our expectations. Location was great. It felt like home as soon as we walked in. The porches were perfect for visiting and kept us dry during the frequent rain. We loved having a fire at the flick of a switch. The house had everything needed for our stay. Highly recommended
