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.

Perfect place

this cabin and the hosts are the best of the best. There is a reason why you have to book quickly here...they have so many guests that return yearly b/c we all know the secret--you cannot find a better place on the river! the noise from the river hitting the rocks creates the perfect, peaceful sounds for relaxing on the covered deck or screened in patio. The cabin is roomy and comfortable with everything you need. Book it while you can b/c it fills up pretty quickly.

Fabulous! Probably the best overall cabin experience we have had, and we have had many. Very clean. The. Kitchen. Had. Everything. We. Needed…and then some. The view, the water sounds, the porches, the swing. One can tell the owners truly care about your experience. Check in was seamless. We will definitely be back!

Our favorite stay yet!

If you’re looking for a beautiful property to rent in the Ellijay area… this is the one!! We have stayed in multiple houses for our Blue Ridge getaways, but Rivers Echo is so special :-) The home was clean, well stocked, and located in such a peaceful setting. There were Deer EVERYWHERE! My little ones loved seeing all the wildlife and playing by the river. I loved the book selection throughout the house. The beds were super comfortable and cozy. We used the hot tub every night. Mandy was extremely fast to respond with any questions I had regarding our stay. I appreciate your professionalism and courtesy! We will definitely be back to stay in the future- only longer next time :-)

This property is perfection! The sound of the river as we enjoyed our morning cup of coffee. The joy watching the groups of deer walk beside the cabin. The fire pit fires with cool autumn temperatures. Hot tub bubbles and screened in porch dinners. Hostess snacks and a 10 out of 10 game room! There wasn’t a thing we needed that wasn’t provided. We will be back!

Better than the pictures! Beautiful decor in cabin, so cozy! You could hear and see the rushing river from the cabin which is exactly what I wanted. The river is amazing! Loved the huge screened in porch and outdoor seating, including firepit. Enjoyed seeing a family a deer pass through daily. Lots of games. The roads getting there are a bit scary. Know your way, GPS gets lost. 100% recommended!

What a wonderful place to spend a week with our family! We all loved the river where we tubed and my husband fly fished. We spent hours on the big screened porch listening to the river, talking and reading . The house was immaculately clean and thoughtfully equipped. Thank you, Mandy, for an incredible stay!

Nothing short of Amazing!

We had the most amazing time at Rivers Echo Cabin! From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of how peaceful and beautiful everything was. The cabin was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed to feel right at home — cozy beds, a fully stocked kitchen, and even thoughtful little touches that made the stay extra special.The setting is absolutely magical. Waking up to the sound of the river, sipping coffee on the deck, and spending our evenings by the fire pit made this trip unforgettable. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation — we tubed, hiked, explored the area, and also just enjoyed slowing down.The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, making sure we had everything we needed before and during our stay. We’re already talking about when we can come back. Highly, highly recommend Rivers Echo Cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway surrounded by nature.

Cabin Fever? More Like Cabin Bliss!

Our stay at this riverfront cabin was absolutely serene! The views were stunning—waking up to the peaceful river and surrounding nature was a dream. The property was incredibly quiet, perfect for unwinding and truly relaxing.The cabin itself was spotless and very well-maintained. It felt both spacious and cozy, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out comfortably. You can tell the owners take great pride in this excellent property. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommend for anyone looking to escape and recharge in a beautiful, tranquil setting!
