The house was very nice with all the amenities you would expect in a mountain home. Our family enjoyed the river, pool table, fireplace and cooked meals in a well stocked kitchen. The host is very responsive and provided information about everything you would need to know before arrival. Our family made some good memories this week!

What an amazing getaway for our family of 12 with six adults and six littles. Mike and Amy were responsive and helpful. Check in and check out was a breeze. The home is beautiful, spacious, and we had fun on every level. Fun games available to play, enjoyed the hot tub and fires on the porch. Enjoyed the Blackstone for breakfast and the grill for dinner. The kids loved the playground and even went tubing from one side of the property down the River to the other end. Saw deer crossing the River behind the property and lots of deer all over the area. We did not get time to enjoy the amenities of the resort area, so I cannot comment on those. We loved every second of this trip and cannot thank the owners enough for creating such a welcoming space.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Padgett

Host profile image
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.
