Creekside calm meets cabin fun at Nice & Knotty on Mountaintown Creek inside gated Coosawattee River Resort. Fish, wade, or simply listen to the water—then soak in the covered hot tub and stargaze. On the deck, rock beside the custom stone outdoor fireplace and café lights, or gather at the creekside fire pit. Inside: soaring great room with gas fireplace, stocked kitchen + coffee bar, pool table + Pac-Man, WiFi and streaming. 4 bedrooms (2 kings/2 queens) sleep 8, minutes to downtown Ellijay.
Living Areas
Step into a warm, lodge-style great room with soaring wood ceilings and a dramatic stone fireplace—the perfect place to sprawl out after a day of trails, waterfalls, or downtown Ellijay wandering. Big windows pull the outdoors in, and the whole space feels built for reconnecting (movies, board games, or just doing absolutely nothing).
When the group wants options, the cabin delivers: an upstairs loft gives you a second hangout zone, and downstairs is where the competition starts—rack ’em up at the pool table, then relive arcade glory with Pac-Man.
Kitchen/Dining Areas
The kitchen is fully set up for real meals, not “vacation survival.” Cook breakfast before a fishing morning, prep picnic snacks for creek time, or bring home local Ellijay treats and make a feast.
And the coffee bar is a whole vibe—start your day with a fresh cup, then take it outside to the deck and let the creek set the pace.
Bedrooms/Baths
This cabin sleeps 8 across 4 bedrooms—a great setup for families, two couples, or a friends’ weekend where everyone gets real sleeping space.
Main level primary suite: King bed plus a private deck for quiet morning air.
Main Level Bathroom with soaking tub & Walk In Shower
Upper level: King bedroom plus a private deck for quiet morning air.
Queen bedroom, plus a shared full bath and loft hangout space.
Terrace level: Queen bedroom + shared full bath, close to the game area.
Outdoor Amenities
Outside is where Nice & Knotty really shows off. The deck feels like your own creekfront porch lounge—rocking chairs, soft café lights, and a custom stone outdoor fireplace that makes chilly nights feel like the best part of the trip.
Head downstairs for the good stuff: a covered hot tub where you can soak even if the weather changes, plus creekside seating and space to spread out. Whether you’re swapping stories, watching the water roll by, or letting the kids burn off energy in the yard, the setting is pure North Georgia peace.
Other Amenities
You’ll also have WiFi and popular streaming apps available, plus the usual vacation must-haves like laundry and central heat/air—so you can pack lighter and stay comfortable.

Incredible property in the perfect location for a large family/friends with tons of amenities and superbly equipped. Made for a memorable Easter weekend! Beautiful, spacious, clean, and in the perfect location. Lots of amenities(even with constant rain one day). Both adults and children were extremely happy with the accommodations and recreational games to play. The kitchen, fireplaces, BBQ grill, and Jacuzzi were all in tip-top and clean condition. Comfortable beds and nicely appointed bathrooms. Professional and extremely friendly/helpful. Ease of the process to reserve the cabin. Courteous and helpful employees.

Wish we had a longer stay.
Wish we had a longer stay. The cabin was very nice & all beds sleep wonderfully! The hot tub was very nice as well. The creek was especially nice & to see the deer crossing was spectacular.
Please note; The oven did not heat properly.
The bedside fan in the closet needs cleaning badly.
Cleaning crew needs to make sure to get lamps etc, cobwebs were in light shades. We also did not find any firewood.
Reservations staff was easy, prompt & efficient.
