The property was beautiful and the home was spacious for our family. Being by the river was very relaxing and the kids had plenty to do both inside and outside. The adults enjoyed the fireplace on the second deck.
This Home was in a perfect location, so much to do in the area. The house was amazing and accommodated 15 of us. I’ve never seen a kitchen so well supplied I would go back again in a heartbeat.

Glad you all enjoyed your trip! I love to cook so I try to have all the gadgets at the house.
All areas, inside and outside, were spacious and very well appointed. The three bedrooms with king beds worked perfectly for the adults in our family and the bunk room was a big hit with the kids. We really enjoyed the outside fireplace and the proximity of the river which provided relaxing sounds and fun fishing. We loved our family vacation and look forward to staying here again.

Thank you so much! You were great guests and I’m so glad you enjoyed your getaway.
The host was quick to respond with any questions I had. The cabin was beautiful and very clean. It had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook all of our meals. The location is perfect. Close to the store but also very private. We enjoyed our weekend here and would definitely book again.

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed your Thanksgiving on the river.
We had a great stay!! House was beautiful! Right on the water and just beautiful views!! We would love to stay again. The only negative would be the driveway. Difficult for medium size cars
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!
We enjoyed our stay. The property was a great size for our families and the kids loved exploring.

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.
