Great Family Vacation
We stayed at Watersong Rapids for 6 days and had a blast. The house was the perfect gathering hub for 8 of us and was centrally located to downtown Elijay and downtown Blue Ridge. The property was so fun for the kiddos with the stream running behind the house. We felt very safe and prepared for the week. The neighborhood is beautiful with lovely but elevated walking.
Thank you for the great review! We’re glad to hear everything was as advertised and that you enjoyed the well-kept space and convenient location. We’d love to host you again in the future!
Thai cabin is in a great location and was perfect for a family. The river was amazing and the checkin and out process was so simple. Would stay there again anytime.
Great property. My family loved the stream out back and the house was great for people who like to cook from home. Owner were responsive to our questions and had house ready early for us. Would definitely stay at this property again.

I really liked the whole house set up. You have everything needed in the kitchen and that was nice. We really loved the firepit by the creek. Also enjoyed morning coffee by the fireplace on the deck.

Watersong Rapids is amazing!
We enjoyed our stay here very much. It was charming, especially with the Christmas decorations.
I could have stayed on the porch forever!
It was stocked with everything we needed and was one of the cleanest rentals we have been to. As each bedroom (except the bunkroom) was a master bedroom picking who would sleep where was easy. The bunkroom had its own bathroom and very comfortable too!
We will definitely be back.
Loved the house, super great location and the creek was lovely. Home was well equipped. Unfortunately it rained the whole weekend but we still enjoyed our time there.

The house was great. Everything was very clean and high quality from the kitchen tools to the bed and bedding. The creek was great with a small waterfall just down from tge house that gave a great ambiance. We had one minor inconvenience at check in with a smoke alarm battery, but it was resolved before too long.
We have an amazing time staying here. The neighborhood is great. The noise was the stream was so relaxing. There are many places in the cabin to hang out - by the fire on the deck, in the game area, down by the stream, on the comfy couch in the living room, etc. our kids didn’t want to leave… Neither did we!

My friends and I had a great time at this cabin. Everything was nice and clean and was perfectly stocked with all the essentials we needed for the weekend. Would love to visit again soon!
Pics don’t do it justice! Gorgeous and private. Very well equiped kitchen. Something for everyone. Loved hot tub and pool table and kids loved playing in stream. I recommend bringing beach towels to use for hot tub or you will be washing towels on your vaca. Only one bath towel per person! Would absolutely stay here again!We would absolutely stay here again!

My family and I (a group of 12) had the best time staying at Watersong Rapids! This home has anything and everything you will need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We enjoyed cooking and baking in the fully equipped kitchen. The view from the decks does not disappoint and the sounds from the creek was one of my favorite parts. We would definitely love to stay here again!
This house is so special. The location is amazing, with the creek in the back yard and close enough to both Blue Ridge and Ellijay to make trips to both towns possible. The house is gorgeous and thoughtfully furnished - we honestly could've stayed in all week and been equally happy. There was so much fun to be had in the area - hiking, river tubing, cute downtowns - that we can't wait to come back. Five stars!

Thank you for choosing Mountain Vibe Vacations! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed this property and all the amenities. Sounds like many wonderful memories were made. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
We couldn’t have chosen a better place to host our annual cousins trip. The hosts have thought of everything. The place inside and out was so much better than the pictures looked like. We traveled with all different ages and everyone had the best time. The rooms were spacious and layout made everything so enjoyable. We will
Be back again.

Overall stay was great! We have never visited Elijay before so we got to explore the area. The house is beautiful and surrounded by trees and the stream with a small waterfall was just what we needed to relax.We did have an issue with water. We had none for 24hrs. Repair man did come to check it out and ultimately fixed it.
