About this property

The Rainbow Lodge- Riverfront, Fiber, HotTub, Fish, DogOK, Game Room, Movie Room

Rainbow Riverside Lodge is a breathtaking spot offering a wonderful feeling of seclusion and privacy along scenic Mountaintown Creek in the private Coosawattee River Resort. Watch as the geese glide into land, browse at the herd of deer grazing in the meadow next door, catch a glimpse of the giant Blue Heron who often visits this tranquil valley. Cool off with a swim in the river entering from the natural beach. Bring a tube and walk up stream and float your stress away. Experience magic.

The Space
Enjoy all this from a newly remodeled five-star cabin that includes details such as Professional hair care products, luxurious bedding and towels, a fully stocked gourmet kitchen, a game room with Air Hockey and Foosball, a movie room with a 65" TV and xBox One, three fireplaces(one firepit) to choose from, a wide assortment of board games, poker set, cards, a luxury Bull Frog Hot Tub with lounge seat, an outdoor shower, 2 king masters with private balconies overlooking the river. You simply will not find a nicer cabin in a more idealic setting.

Guest access
You will enjoy access to the entire home and nearly 1,000 feet of private riverfront as we own two additional lots and three adjacent homes.

Other things to note
Note that our base rate is for up to 4 people and that the rate increases $15 per night per each additional Guest up to 8 total Guests or an additional $60 per night. This allows us to offer a more reasonable rate for smaller parties.

PETS- While we do allow a pet, we only allow one dog that is 50 pounds or less and at least 2 years old. We require a Vet Health Certificate confirming the dog's age, weight, and that its vaccinations are current along with a photo of the dog. Note that there is a pet fee of $35/night with a $70 minimum charge per stay.

Finally, while access to the cabin is generally easy(we drive a Hyundai Sonota Hybrid), the last ~1/3 of a mile is on a community maintained gravel road. Parking is on the street which is quiet and little travelled. There are ~ two flights of stairs from the street down to the cabin.

Any reservations made within 48 hours of the arrival date will be subject to a $25 priority processing fee that is required by our security department.

In regard to our bunk room, please follow all the guidelines below if you are planning on utilizing the upper bunk beds.
• Keep bunk beds placed in the corners of the room so that there are walls on two sides. DO NOT MOVE BUNK BEDS from their positions.
• Never allow children under 6 years of age to sleep in the upper bunks.
• Emphasize to children that they should always use the ladder and not other furniture to climb into or out of the bunk bed.
• Instruct all children that bunk beds are not to be roughhoused on at any time.
• If any are present, please remove dangerous objects from around the bed.
• Never hang belts, scarves or ropes from the bunkbed, as these items could strangle a child.
Please note that any use of the upper bunk beds is done so at your own risk. ALWAYS use caution and make certain that your children also always know to use caution. If you would like other sleeping arrangements provided, please just let us know so we can provide an air mattress or other bedding accommodation.

We will be available to help at any time during your stay. We have lived in the area for years and are happy to help in any way we can. From restaurants to activities, our Welcome Book which will be provided covers many details of the area.

Magical Stay in Ellijay
Pictures don't do this property justice. We were thoroughly impressed by the location of the cabin, the setup and cleanliness of the cabin and the amenities of the neighborhood. We felt secluded enough without being in the middle of nowhere. Our kids LOVED the river, it's perfect for jumping from rock to rock, fishing and feeding the geese. We enjoyed the firepit every night & the beds were very comfortable! The Keurig in each bedroom was a great touch :) We will definitely be staying again.

Relaxing Mountain getaway
The property is beautiful and very well equipped. We had 2 adults and 5 grandkids (6 to 17). The game room, hot tub and river access (and deer) were big hits with all. Brad was very proactive in providing great information about the home. We would recommend this rental (unless steps are a problem). 5 STARS

Beautiful Home in Paradise
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Rainbow Lodge. The house overlooked tranquil scenery, with water and fall leaves. It was the perfect weekend full of fire pit chats and friendly deer. The management team made sure we had everything we needed for the stay. They were super accommodating at every turn. Thank you so much for a great time.

About the host

Hosted by Brad Bruckman

Host profile image
I come from the hospitality industry with over 30 years hosting Guests in various capacities. I fell in love with Ellijay and the North GA Mountains and purchased a home here in 2015. I decided that I wanted to continue my hospitality career via sharing this lovely place with others. No big management company here, Guests work directly with me as the owner and I promise you will be well taken care of. I look forward to hosting you soon.

Why they chose this property

What past Guests say is what is most important:

"Our family of four (me, my husband, 8 year old and 6 year old children) had such a wonderful time at this property!!! It’s by far the cleanest VRBO we’ve ever stayed in and the amenities were amazing! So grateful for a place that has hand soap at every sink! Brad was so kind to bring us an apple pie to welcome us-and was so attentive throughout our stay! The river was perfect for our kids to “fish” and we used the fire pit every night for family time! Air hockey was also a huge hit!!! We enjoyed horseback riding in nearby Mineral Bluff, hiking to see the rock fire tower, antiquing, eating at The Pink Pig and visiting the local animal rescue-“Build an ark animal rescue”. We saw about 50 deer throughout our stay within the neighborhood! It was a perfect stay and we plan to visit again during warmer months! Thanks Brad!!!"

"This cabin (and owner) are amazing! It’s truly the cleanest cabin, with the best beds and linens. It has literally everything you need from Coffee makers, Kueregs, pots and pans, bathroom necessities, and so much more. Nothing is done cheaply. If we don’t buy our own ellijay cabin, we will definitely be back!!"

"Perfect fall get away! After months of quarantine and then homeschool we all really look forward to this fall getaway, and Brad’s place was perfection, everything you need is at this house, Theres activities outside and tons to do inside, but most importantly it’s quiet and peaceful he’s done a beautiful job with this house"

"A Wonderful Place! We absolutely loved staying here. RR Lodge is private, quiet, peaceful and the sound of the river was so relaxing. Kitchen was well stocked and bedrooms were so comfortable. The kids loved downstairs and everything it had to offer. We played in the river, enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit daily. Brad is a great host! So easy to work with and very accommodating. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Can't wait for our next visit!"

What makes this property unique

With the river behind and the cascading stream to the side, you are surrounded by the peaceful tranquility of flowing water. It is a beautiful spot.
