About this property

Riverfront, loud rapids, on tubing path - easy access (neighboring River's Echo)

Newly listed 'sister property' to River's Echo (VRBO#1151964). Walk out 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 deck overlooking the beautiful Coosawattee River. Enjoy meals on the large 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 log swing and cushioned wicker seating area, as well as a 6-person hot tub - perfect way to end an evening if you choose.

Main floor features a living room with a gas fireplace, leather sofa, leather club chair with ottoman and 2 upholstered high-back recliners. Oh and there is also a 65-inch TV. Kitchen with black honed granite counter tops 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 a fabulous King size bed. Walk out of this bedroom onto a small private covered porch.

Terrace level is the 'fun' zone, featuring a large seating area with 65 inch TV, board games, puzzles and books. There is also a regulation Foosball table if you're feeling competitive. Bedroom with 2 Queen log beds and a full bathroom.

We have stayed in several cabins in the Elijay area and this is our favorite. Sitting on the porch, listening to the sound of the rapids was very therapeutic.

This cabin is nothing short of amazing. The owners have provided a well stocked kitchen . There are little thoughtful touches everywhere. All the furniture is so comfortable. And the beds!!! I’m looking to find those sheets!!! It’s very well laid out so that if you want private time or together time, it’s perfect for both.It’s right on the river and a very fun tube or kayak/canoe experience to start upstream and put out at the house. Or….. just sit on the many Adirondack chairs and listen to the soothing river. We will now not have to search for cabins in this area because this is the one !!! Hopefully we will go back many times to visit when the mountains call us . . Thank you so much, Mandy and Doug, for the thoughtfulness you have provided for guests in every single room. ( and outside) !

We absolutely loved our stay at Rapids Echo! The cabin was spacious and gave everyone plenty of room to spread out without feeling crowded. The cabin was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed during our stay. Our favorite part was spending the mornings on the porch overlooking the river, drinking coffee and just relaxing to the peaceful sounds of the water. In the evenings, we grilled out and enjoyed sitting in the screened porch listening to the river and unwinding after the day.Even though it rained most of the time we were there, it honestly didn’t bother us at all because the cabin was so cozy and relaxing. The location is perfect — it feels like you’re completely tucked away in the mountains, yet you’re only about 5 minutes from stores and restaurants. It’s also just a short drive to downtown Ellijay and about 30 minutes to Blue Ridge.We’ve stayed in several cabins over the years, and Rapids Echo has definitely been one of our favorites. We’re already looking forward to booking again next year!

We had a wonderful time. Lots of deer and geese. Very relaxing. I did have some issues with dishes not being clean. We had to wash a lot of them and realized when unloading the dishwasher, the soap door wouldn't open. May be why dishes were dirty. Also there were some balls of furry dog hair in the house and on cloth furniture. All issues we could fix ourself. Otherwise we loved it. Hosts were great when we called lost, he even came and took us to the house.

The house was perfect for our family of 6! The host was very responsive and pleasant. The kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed. The river view is spectacular. We also enjoyed sitting by the fire pit which is right by the river bank. It was a just what we were looking for to get away from the hustle and bustle of the holidays. Highly recommend!

This is our third time we have stayed here. For our family it couldn't be in a better location. One sister lives in the neighborhood, another flies in from Florida, and we drive down from Michigan. You cant beat the view from the front porch. Its perfect.
