This cozy cabin is perfection! Beautiful scenery with views/sounds of the river, wildlife, and a quiet community. The cabin itself is fully stocked, the owners have thought of every amenity (and more) that makes this rental feel like home! This was our second trip and we look forward to booking again! 10/10!!
This was our 5th year staying and every year it just gets better. We absolutely love the cabin, the water, the location, and the wildlife. We cant wait to be back next year!
This was an amazing cabin right along the Coosawattee. There was every amenity available, the property managers were extremely helpful, and the resort was beautiful. It is also conveniently located to 515 so quick trip to both Ellijay and Blue Ridge. We will definitely be coming back!
this cabin and the hosts are the best of the best. There is a reason why you have to book quickly here...they have so many guests that return yearly b/c we all know the secret--you cannot find a better place on the river! the noise from the river hitting the rocks creates the perfect, peaceful sounds for relaxing on the covered deck or screened in patio. The cabin is roomy and comfortable with everything you need. Book it while you can b/c it fills up pretty quickly.
The property is just as advertised. It is very homey and welcoming and beautifully decorated. This is our second stay and we will definitely be booking again. The calming sound of the water is so relaxing...Love It!!!
We came to celebrate a few different occasions. It was easy to get to the cabin (for cabin standards) and the cabin felt so cozy! We started each morning on the balcony, listening to the sounds of the river. Lots of deer in the area and
We had an amazing chilly weekend at River’s Echo. Spending evenings by the campfire next to the river was so relaxing. We made the most of the hot tub, outdoor patio, ping pong table, and the super comfortable beds. Can’t wait to come back! Thank you, Mandy and Doug, for a fantastic weekend!
This place has everything you could ask for!! Kitchen fully stocked!! Fire pit right by the water, where we spent most of our time! Beautiful and roomy porches, hot tub was large, fit 6 comfortably. The owners were great to deal with!
Our stay at this riverfront cabin was absolutely serene! The views were stunning—waking up to the peaceful river and surrounding nature was a dream. The property was incredibly quiet, perfect for unwinding and truly relaxing.The cabin itself was spotless and very well-maintained. It felt both spacious and cozy, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out comfortably. You can tell the owners take great pride in this excellent property. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommend for anyone looking to escape and recharge in a beautiful, tranquil setting!
This is the second year we've stayed in this cabin for Spring Break! No complaints! Beautiful cabin and great view of the water! Owners are super helpful and friendly! Highly recommend!! The Edison Family
Beautiful Property, Spotless and Very Welcoming. The decor has a personal touch that makes you feel right at home. The River and the wildlife are amazing. This cabin is not one to pass up a chance to stay at. We will be booking again!!!
River Echo cabin was perfectly located on the Coosawettee River. Watching and listening to the rapids was replenishing. The screened in porch was large and accommodated our group of 5 perfectly. The kitchen had all the supplies we needed for meals etc. Beds and baths were comfortable and updated. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Wonderful time in the cabin and just as pictured! They even had a huge stash of firewood available for the fire pit, which we enjoyed each night. River front and wonderful hosts. I never had to reach out to them for anything while we were there but knew they were available as needed. Thank you!
We had the BEST time at the Rivers Echo cabin! We spent quiet evenings by the fire and the kids played in the river during the day! We had one minor issue after checking in, but with a call to the owners, they had someone come out within the hour and we were all set. Wonderful hosts, beautiful property, and lasting memories!
Hosts and house are top notch in our book we booked to just relax and un-wind and mission was accomplished ! Beautiful home and surrounding property cant get enough of the soothing sound of the river ! Thanks so much for welcoming us and allowing us into your home Doug and Mandy .
What a gem. The house is rural, private* hot tub, waterfront, pets ok, loud river, wildlife, grill, beautiful interior, fire pit, all the little touches to make the stay comfortable. Can easily sleep 10. All you need to bring is your food and toiletries, shampoo, conditioner, soap. It has been well maintained and I highly recommend.
