Perfect get away

Everything about our stay was just as described in the listing. Amy was an amazing host and very responsive to any questions we had. The house is at the end of a dead end road and falls right at the bend of the river. The sounds are something I wish I could have bottled up and brought home. So relaxing. Would definitely book again.

Wonderful time

We had a wonderful time staying here. It’s tucked away right on the river as the pictures portray, which is beautiful, but if you do not handle winding, mountain roads well, you might want to rethink this location. It would be hard to pass it up though as it is incredible just as listed. The owner was easy to communicate with and attentive to details.

Wedding in Elijay

Our son was getting married at Engelheim Vineyard on Saturday. We had a group of 14 which needed A place to relax, celebrate, and close enough to the venue and downtown Elijay for easy acceS to groceries, restaurants, Walmart and other last minute needs. The property by the river was amazing! Everyone who stayed there said the views were breathtaking. The two homes in close proximity allowed privacy while also being able to socialize as well. The cabins had all the necessities to cook and additional things such as spices, detergent, ziplock bags, shampoos and body washes. We’ve stayed in numerous VRBOs and these owners thought of everything. One thing needed in the future would be irons as we all had to iron clothes for upcoming wedding. Additionally, areas of improvement include the gazebo that has the bat and pool table. It is in very bad shape and would suggest update or making additional seating areas to enjoy the breathtaking views. My husband had to use the blower (that was in property) to remove the leaves and debris on the wood walkway to the gazebo prior to our guest arriving as it looked like the cleaners hadn’t even looked at the area beside the gazebo. No big deal but would recommend letting cleaners know outside area wasn’t fully ready for visitors. Overall, we loved our stay and will be returning with famiky to the same property. Price was reasonable for all this property had to offer. We really enjoyed the space and had ample parking for family and friends.

The location is the best part of these properties. But lots of little things have been neglected on the properties: ants inside, random garbage around the property, cabinet face falling off repeatedly, outside porch lights out, etc.

Just right

The location right on the river was beautiful. Houses were just a pictured, comfy beds and well appointed kitchen. Very quiet and safe. We had fun tubing and wading in the river right in front of the house. We put in at the house riverfront and tubed about 200 yards to the very nice get out place, we then would enjoy a short walk back to the houses and do it again. If your going to tube I recommend picking some up before you arrive. There's a Walmart in town that probably have good ones. Get the tube with the bottom and buy or borrow an inexpensive paddle to help navigate your tube on the river. Also the homes are in a very well gated entrance, but its a 15 minute curvy mountain (very well maintained) road to the house from the gate. I suggest you bring your first night and first breakfast with you when you come to the houses. The porch lights were not working during our stay ( at just one of the houses) which did make it difficult to cook on the porch and play games at night. The lights are LED and I could not replace a bulb. There is a very nice gas cooktop on the one porch which worked great and we used several times. The porch tables on both homes were nice and large. The porch seats on the one house were a bit worn and uncomfortable for me. The seas on the other house were just fine. I would have liked if there were screens in the windows so we could open up and enjoy the beautiful mountain air if an evening. There were screens in the bedrooms, not in the living area

Anniversary Getaway

Very spacious homes with amazing views from the back porches where we spent every moment possible looking down on the river rolling by. Great areas to cook both on grill and/or blackstone griddle. Close proximity to the downtown area in Elijay for shopping, lunch or drinks. Very nice area and we will definitely bring the family back for a stay at the Twin Homes!!

Relaxing

The homes are beautiful, both with a one of a kind deck overhang that puts you right on the waters edge! It's truly amazing! Our family enjoyed lots of fishing right outside the door. The one day it rained all day with chilly temperatures but not to worry we got some firewood for the inside wood burning firepit and watched some old movies! While staying at the cabin we saw a momma Fox with her 6 babies on the hillside, the babies put on quiet a show for us playing, pouncing, tackling one another. We kept our distance and watched them for probably over an hour. While driving through the neighborhood and higher up on the hills there are tons of Deer that have no fear, my daughter kept trying to pet one while reaching her arm out of the window to explain how close they actually are. I havent seen our family all together without a device in front of their face in a long time! Perfect.

Very comfortable beds, and everything you need to cook any meal right in the kitchen. Beautifully decorated!!!!

Solid property in Ellijay

The strengths of this property are many. The views are gorgeous. The properties are very close and good for groups that want to be close but have some space. There are some elements of the property/experience that were more challenging to manage, but those were generally annoyances as opposed to a major deterrence. Those elements included: the gate agent not having our reservation, host sending wrong directions, dirty dishes in dishwasher and laundry upon arrival (causing odor), and temperamental stovetop/burners.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Padgett

Host profile image
We own four cabins in the Coosawattee River Resort, these two, Trout Trap - https://www.vrbo.com/109998 and River Lodge on Fir - https://www.vrbo.com/583476. All the cabins are catered to large groups and are located directly on the river.

Why they chose this property

The word “Ellijay” is an Anglicized form of a Cherokee word, perhaps meaning "place of green things" or "many waters." This would make a lot of sense considering this is the place where the Ellijay and Cartecay Rivers meet forming the Coosawattee River. The Coosawattee and Mountaintown come together and flow into Carter’s Lake: A gorgeous recreational lake developed by the Corps of Engineers. This region abounds with wildlife, including deer, wild turkeys, bears, eagles, and hawks. The Rivers are a favorite for trout fishermen or feel free to our stocked fishing pond within the resort.
