About this property

Luxury Riverfront Cabin - Pet Friendly

Welcome
When you lead a busy, hectic, overscheduled life, you need the peaceful, quiet respite that a Georgia mountain cabin rental provides. You’ll find it at Cartecay River Dreams, the perfect place to slow down, decompress, breathe the fresh mountain air, and relax in an idyllic wooded, waterfront setting.

About the Area
Surrounded by trees in a gated community in Ellijay called The Bluffs of Cartecay, this gorgeous Satterwhite-built log home sits on two secluded acres, with over 200 feet of Cartecay river frontage and no other cabins in sight. It’s the ultimate in privacy, but less than two miles to the shopping complex, four miles to the restaurants and antique shopping in Ellijay and just miles to downtown Blue Ridge.

The Spot
If you love the water, you can enjoy it in several forms here, whether it’s listening to the sound of the rushing river from the back deck or the brook from the front yard, soaking in the hot tub, or sitting by the backyard pond. The Cartecay River is just steps from the back door, so you can fish to your heart’s content and grill your catch for dinner on the outdoor grill overlooking the river. The outside areas are designed for outdoor living, with rockers and patio chairs to relax in, a 50” TV, wraparound porches and three fire pits to warm you.

The Living Area
Inside, the cabin is a beautiful mix of rustic elegance and modern comfort, with soaring vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and large windows overlooking the Cartecay River providing a bright and airy feel and wildlife décor to highlight the nature theme. Reclining chairs, sofa and loveseat, a stacked stone gas fireplace and 65” TV with DVD make the great room a warm and welcoming place to relax and unwind.

The Kitchen
The spacious kitchen is fully equipped and furnished with solid wood cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, an icemaker, coffee maker and more. The adjacent dining area seats up to seven, plus three at the breakfast bar.


The Bedrooms
You’ll slumber in comfort in your choice of three bedrooms, each with luxury bedding, a 50” TV, and ceiling fan. The master bedroom overlooks the river and features a king log bed and zero gravity massage chair, and a private bath with granite counters, walk-in shower, double showerheads, double vanities, and a walk-in closet. The second bedroom also overlooks the river and features a queen log bed. The third bedroom is set up with two twin log beds. Both share a bath with a step-in tub/shower, granite counters and a linen closet.

The Game/Movie Room
The cabin comes with a well-equipped garage game room, featuring a pool table, foosball, darts, A 50” TV and a multitude of board games for every age. The movie room above comes with a 75” TV with streaming service that will keep the kids occupied while parents enjoy some quiet time.

Other Amenities
The cabin’s other amenities include Wi-Fi, Roku, washer/dryer off the kitchen, paved roads throughout the neighborhood and leading to the cabin, a large gravel driveway with plenty of parking available on the driveway or on the parking pad in front of the garage, a fishing dock, and stairs that lead directly into the river. It’s dog friendly too, so you can bring your furry best friend with you as you enjoy your unforgettable getaway at Ruby River Cabin.

We had an amazing time. There was so much to do for the week. The cabin is tastefully done and equipped perfectly! The beds were comfortable. Our adult children enjoyed the game room and the river. We took daily walks with fur babies. We will be back

Relaxing vacation location

Beautiful location/property - the cabin was very nice, neat and well stocked. The river view, hot tub, fire pit, games, location and easy access to downtown Ellijay and surrounding towns was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will plan a return visit in the future. The only negative I can note is the early 10am checkout time.

Birthday Getaway to Ellijay

From the time we arrived we loved the cabin, it was clean and so cozy. The jacuzzi was very clean and was wonderful to use in the cool evenings and the fire pit was also a big hit. The location was very close to all types of things (i.e. grocery and activities). The ambience with the flowing river in the backyard was very serene. We highly recommend this wonderful cabin. The host Anthony was extremely responsive and just a pleasure to communicate with.

Good weekend getaway

This property is beautiful. The cabin sits at the end of a road with few neighbors. The cabin and hot tub are well maintained. There was an issue with the cleaning crew that the homeowner addressed during our stay. Things I wish I had known when booking the property is that the highway runs directly across the creek from the property, so there is traffic noise when outside. Also, there is a warehouse across the creek and a bright advertising sign. These issues are likely less noticeable during the spring and summer when the leaves are full.

Beautiful Home in private neighborhood

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The home was beautifully laid out, the back porch was great and we used the firepit every night. The river views were gorgeous. A little road noise from across the river but didn't detract from the beauty of this spot.

Best Vrbo to date

The house was beautiful and so clean! I couldn’t believe it was pet friendly. The property was flat and very private so my kids and dog enjoyed running around. Every little detail was thought of for example: Keurig with pods, shampoo and conditioner already in the showers, games for kids to play, cornhole, fresh towels located right by the hot tub, etc! We really enjoyed our 2 night getaway

Private and relaxing

The property was everything clean inviting relaxing and the hot tub was amazing. Had a great time with family. The only negative was the directions on the GPS wasn't great and it was hard to find. The furbabies had everything they needed to. Bowls a crate . I took there wireless fence and they to enjoyed the property and privacy.

It was good. There was only 1 roll of paper towels for a 3 night, 4 day stay. There was shredded lettuce dropped on the inside of the refrigerator. You couldn't watch the same thing on any tv on the property.

FYI mosquitoes were bad in the garage/game room unable to stay in the room due to bites. The flowers for my mom were very thoughtful and appreciated. Location and view to the busy road was disappointing.

Not peaceful....

The weekend was supposed to be a 60th birthday relaxation trip to the North Georgia mountains... the house was beautiful but it backed up to the river which backed up to 2 manufactured buildings and a very busy highway 52. The listing is very misleading and very loud traffi noices and not a North Georgia Riverview peaceful atmosphere.. We checked out on the next day and called it a wash. I suggest that the owner be more transparent in the listing and photos and also there was no pantry. Game room is not heated and was cold. Plug in heaters. Very disappointed.

My Family’s Experience

Usually I would start a review with a list of all the positives. In this case, I want to mention the negatives first so that other travelers will hopefully see what I missed. Not only did I miss some of the more truthful reviews, the descriptive listing provided was a bit misleading. This property is NOT quiet and secluded. Directly behind the house is a beautiful river. But then you are looking directly at the back of a paint and body shop that is on a loud and heavily traveled highway. Unfortunately, the noise made worse by dumpsters being emptied. My last complaint is the mention of three outdoor fire pits to stay warm by. There’s one with no starter or wood to burn. The house itself is great!! Very, very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. I was looking for a quiet, secluded mountain getaway to enjoy with my family. While we enjoyed our time together, this particular property with the given description was disappointing.
