About this property
Riverside Sanctuary: Serene Luxury Lodge in Ellijay -750' of Riverfront Splendor
Embark on an enchanting escape at our Riverside Sanctuary, a breathtaking lodge in Ellijay where luxury meets the tranquil beauty of nature. Nestled in the middle of 3 adjoining riverfront lots giving you over 750 feet of pristine riverfront on the beautiful North Georgia Trout river, Mountaintown Creek. This expansive property invites you to immerse yourself in an oasis of comfort and serenity.
Step outside and find yourself in the heart of nature's playground. Explore local vineyards, hike scenic trails, or simply stroll along the riverbanks. The charming town of Ellijay offers quaint shops, delightful eateries, and a warm, welcoming community.
Home is 3600+ square feet in the main living area with 2000+ square feet of covered porches. If you bring the kids along, they are going to love the huge yard and Gorilla play set.
There are 3 king size bedrooms and a media room with 2 “full” sized futons. We also have a bunk room (queen/twin and a double/twin) that will accommodate 4-6 people.
Indulge in culinary delights in our fully equipped kitchen, featuring state-of-the-art appliances and granite countertops. Gather around the elegant dining area or enjoy alfresco meals on the porch, basking in the breathtaking riverside views.
Two sets of high efficiency new washer dryers on the main and lower level of the house.
The bathrooms are amazing with granite counter tops and custom natural stone showers and garden tubs.
Whether you're in the mood for a friendly game of pool, foosball or wish to unwind in the bubbling seven person hot tub under the stars, our lodge offers endless entertainment options. The outdoor fire pit beckons for nights of storytelling and laughter, creating memories that last a lifetime.
There are five large flat screen TV's spread across the bedrooms, futon room and the living room over the fireplace. We have SMART TV's, YouTubeTV and lightning fast fiber Wi-Fi.
The Coosawattee River Resort is located just a few miles off Hwy 515 outside of Ellijay and East Ellijay, Georgia in the beautiful north Georgia mountains. The Resort provides the perfect weekend vacation getaway and is just a short drive from Atlanta,
Chattanooga, and Murphy, NC.
The Coosawattee River Resort is a 5,500+ acre nature preserve that leisurely meanders along two beautiful rivers - Coosawattee River and Mountaintown Creek. The Coosawattee River Resort is a great community offering an extra layer of safety and convenience from the 24/7 gated security.
There are plenty of things to do in the area, including all kinds of lake and river water sports, hiking, mountain biking, antique and crafts shopping, scenic drives, and golf. Our Georgia mountain cabin offers privacy, peace and quiet, and cool mountain breezes, and is just minutes from the shops and restaurants in Ellijay and the Blue Ridge area.
Come spend a weekend or longer in our log cabin and feel the cares of everyday life slip away. If you need room for larger groups add our other cabin "Trout Trap" VRBO - #109998 which is not far down the road and on the same river. PS- You can tube from one cabin to the next!
Please bookmark our site and come back often. Thank you for considering us and we hope to see you soon!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Amy Padgett

We are a family of 6 from Milton, GA with 3 boys and a girl. We have another house in Coosawattee, the Trout Trap Lodge - VRBO #109998. We have just purchased two additional river houses that are side by side giving you your own private compound. When we are finished remodeling, we will introduce "The Twins"
Why they chose this property
The word “Ellijay” is an Anglicized form of a Cherokee word, perhaps meaning "place of green things" or "many waters." This would make a lot of sense considering this is the place where the Ellijay and Cartecay Rivers meet forming the Coosawattee River. The Coosawattee and Mountaintown come together and flow into Carter’s Lake: A gorgeous recreational lake developed by the Corps of Engineers. This region abounds with wildlife, including deer, wild turkeys, bears, eagles, and hawks. The Rivers are a favorite for trout fishermen or feel free to our stocked fishing pond within the resort.
What makes this property unique
We love coming to Ellijay and the fact that it is so close is a big bonus for us. Our kids love playing in the water, riding dirt bikes and fishing. It is so nice to be in the mountains and on the river in a place that feels so remote but you are less than 15 minutes from shops, restaurants, and grocery stores.
