Absolutely fantastic! We had a wonderful long weekend! Our kids loved the game room, fishing and exploring the creek. Everything was exactly as described! We would definitely stay again!
Lovely getaway for our family! We really enjoyed our stay and hope to come again. The cabin was well appointed and cozy. Our young boys loved the creek, and we caught several small fish. The hot tub, shuffleboard, and fire pit were also a hit.

Such a wonderful cabin and location in the Georgia mountains. Isolated to allow for peaceful relaxation and close enough to all the local attractions that you may want to enjoy. The hospitality shown by the owners was amazing. This is definitely a place i would recommend for a wonderful and relaxing getaway.

Thank you so much for the lovely review Amanda! We are so glad your family enjoyed the creek and surrounding community near our cabin. We loved hosting y’all and were so inspired by the incredible vacation you planned for your family & their friends! If you ever need an additional travel buddy for your annual adventures - you have my number! ❤️
We enjoyed this lovely cabin and location very much. It is a stone's throw to the apple orchards and town square in Elijay.
The cabin is spacious yet cozy with a nice boardwalk down to the fire pit and creek. The kids loved the bunkbeds and colored lights along with the games and hot tub. Fully stocked kitchen and wonderful screened in porch and outside space.
We hope to be back!

Thanks Amy! We’re so glad you and your family had a great time and we’d love to have you back!
This property is fantastic! The host does a beautiful job of including cute details for your comfort as well as fun entertainment such as flashlights and binoculars, marshmallow roasting sticks and even a scavenger hunt for the kids. We found our stay to be quite cozy, snuggling up to the fire place at night with blankets and watching the leaves fall while sitting on the back porch. I even ended up taking a mid-day nap by the fire pit listening to the creek. The location is central to dining, shopping, grocery, hiking, vineyards, apple picking - just about anything you’d want to do is only 5-15min away and yet you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. It’s exactly what we were looking for! The amenities were plentiful, they even included extra towels for the hot tub and creek. We also found the kitchen to be well stocked. We hope to come back soon! We appreciate the hosts, too, very responsive and helpful to plan such a delightful trip.

5/5 Stars – Amazing Stay for Our Family Wedding Weekend!
We stayed at this cozy cabin for a family wedding in Ellijay, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! Amy and Luke were truly incredible hosts. Their communication was personal, prompt, and so helpful—they made us feel like more than just guests. They even provided fantastic local recommendations that added to our weekend experience.
The accommodations were warm and inviting, with all the comforts of home. The cabin was spotless, beautifully decorated, and perfectly stocked with everything we needed. We loved relaxing in the cozy living room and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. It was the perfect retreat after all the wedding festivities.
If you’re planning a trip to Ellijay, we can’t recommend this cabin (and these hosts) enough. Amy and Luke made our stay so memorable, and we can’t wait to return!

Thank you SO much Jessica - What a beautiful review! We are so thrilled that you loved your time at our cabin and the surrounding area. We loved hosting you and your parents and would be honored to welcome you back any time! You are definitely part of the River Ridge Family now!
We had a great, but short, stay at Bourbon Falls Cabin. We were road tripping from PA, through NC, SC, and GA and stayed here for our two nights in GA. Our stay here gave us our only rest/down day of our trip and it was much needed! I thought for sure that my teenagers (who range in height from 5’9” to 6’2”) would choose the bigger beds in the downstairs bedroom but instead they LOVED the built in beds and LED lights of the bunk room. We played games in the game room, enjoyed the hot tub two different times in one day, and ate dinner on the upper screened in deck. We definitely wished we could have stayed for another day or two. The welcome book provided all the information needed to enjoy our stay, so there were no surprises. The way our trip timing played out, we did arrive LATE in the evening. Getting to the house is as well marked and described as it can be for the environment but I would recommend arriving in the daylight :) Thanks, Brooke, for a great stay!
This property has everything that a family would need for a relaxing vacation. The host was amazing and very accommodating. The location was secluded but close enough to everything you might need. We were lucky enough to meet the neighbor who chatted with us about her horses. All around wonderful experience.
Just returned from a 6-night getaway to Bourbon Falls, and it was exactly the week our family needed. It’s nestled in the woods about 15 minutes from Ellijay’s charming Main St. We appreciated the proximity to hiking, tubing and exploring the other neighboring towns of Blue Ridge and Helen. We also loved relaxing around the cabin, splashing in the creek (great for kids), and sitting on the upper screened-in deck with a beer, a book and our dog. We’d love to return at a cooler time for an apple festival in the fall. Thank you Brooke and Josh for a lovely stay on Rusty Lady Lane.
This property is beautiful! We heard coyotes howling, seen deer by the creek. My kids enjoyed playing in the creek. The area is nice and quite. There was so much room!
This was absolutely an A+ experience! Our Host was very responsive, and our cabin was beautiful. Perfect location and so clean!
All you have to bring is your clothes and toothbrush. They have every else. It was so well equipped with cooking utensils, cutlery, flashlights, etc
The property was as described and the owners were spot on with what they told us. Beautiful piece of property with flowing creek with a deck to sit by and relax. Very peaceful, relaxing and quite property. Would 100% stay again!!
Very private, relaxing, stay in the woods. Great place to be with family and friends. We all had a great time. Tubing down the river was a highlight for the kids!
This property was everything we were looking for. It was a nice secluded area with plenty of things to do. We spent a considerable amount of time in the creek and even caught a few fish. The evenings were spent using the fire pit by the creek as well as the solo stove fire pit on the deck. There were plenty of games, movies, and books to enjoy. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you might need. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and are hoping to come back in the future.
This is a great house! Nice open floor plan on the main floor, wonderful screen-in porch, and our kids (11, 13, 15) loved the built-in bunks downstairs. The property was very private, and we enjoyed having the creek to listen to and play in. Great launching point for all our activities in the area.

About the host
Hosted by Amy & Luke Glomski
My husband and I have always dreamed of having a cabin we can escape to. We stumbled upon this gem of a property and are so excited to welcome guests to our family cabin. We love hosting and all things hospitality. Our goal is to ensure you have the best time ever, so please reach out if we can be of service in any way.
Why they chose this property
We chose this property for it's dreamy location. It's so convenient to everything you could possibly want to do while in the N Georgia Mountains, and yet is very private and tranquil. We love being close to local attractions, Cider House, Orchards and Vinyards. Amicalola Falls is a family favorite and we absolutely love trying new restaurants in town.
What makes this property unique
Our Cabin is magical in that it has everything you could possibly desire in a sweet mountain cabin get away. For starters, our property sits on Licklog Creek that converges with the Cartecay River just around the corner. It is designated as a Georgia Trout stream and is perfect for fly fishing or exploring. As you pull in, you will be greeted by a circular driveway, with immediate views of the river. River Ridge hideaway has a little something for everyone. Hot tub, Game Room/Den, three bedrooms and 3 indoor fireplaces, a fire pit, desk for remote work, porches galore, and a ""secret" bunkroom that kiddos can discover while you are unpacking the car. This place will have you coming back for more fun and relaxation and we just love that.
