Our family and a couple friends had a lovely weekend at this beautiful cabin. It had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed the river and the rooms a lot. We would love to visit again.
Loved the cabin and the separate levels. The river was very beautiful. Cabin is located close to several small towns that were wonderful for shopping etc. the beds were challenging.
We loved this cabin! The location on the river was perfect (the neighborhood driving in, not so much.) We appreciated that this was a dog-friendly property. It’s isolated enough yet still close to shops and restaurants! We had an amazing time!
Rushing River Lodge is secluded and on a river. The only people we saw while at the lodge were kyakers. River access is easy and the fishing was a blast. We love that each bedroom was on a different level so while we were together as a family, everybody had their own space for private time. It was a wonderful vacation!
The cabin was beautiful! Right on the rushing water of the Cartecay River and my husband had a blast fly fishing. Not the best river in the area for catching trout, but the property itself was perfect. At the end of the private road, on 3 acres where no one could bother us. We used the hot tub multiple times a day. If you cant use stairs, dont stay here because there are a lot. We found it to be the perfect piece of quiet paradise.
This was the sweetest cabin in the mountains beside a beautiful creek! Our family truly enjoyed our stay here! So cozy from the Christmas tree to the fireplace to much more! We have told our family and friends all about this Awesome place and hope to come back again! Caught giant trout and saw multiple deer! We made many memories that will last a lifetime!
We enjoyed a wonderful stay at the rushing River lodge for 4 nights. Beautiful accommodations. Waterfront seating with firepit. Kitchen is completely outfitted for most anything. Has a drip coffee maker as well as a keurig. Seating for dining in and outside. Porches on each level. Fabulous views of the river. Wish we had booked a longer stay!
House and river were fantastic! Too much of a house for 2 people -- too many stairs to climb to get to river, hot tub. Turn around - not good! Gravel road into property was not very good for the car (even though we have a Suburu all wheel drive). Beds too high and squeaky - needed a step stool to climb up on it. Enjoyed Ethel's painting (since I am a little bit of an artist). Great location to meet up with friends that live quite close by.
Beautiful cabin with the creek/river right below us. It was very peaceful. Lots to do nearby activities and shopping. Our family e hours out stay! A few kinks
No curtains in the bedroom I stayed in or blinds over the windows. Morning sun became an issue. None in the den either. Which was great for the den/kitchen area because lighting was poor for cooking
We noticed a leak under the sink in the kitchen and could only use one side of the sink
Trash was knocked over every night. It needs to be more secured.
Wonderful cabin just needs a little more TLC
This property is all about the view. You can not get a more beautiful river view than this cabin. Close to Atlanta and close to Elijay. It is well situated.
The cabin was clean. Beds and bathrooms were comfortable and worked well for us. There is one way into this property. There is a turnaround down from the house. I never looked forward to using it, as it was tight and very high up. But it worked.
Any issues I mention are overcome by the river view. I did wish they had better lighting in the main living area. It is all overhead and I find it glaring and uncomfortable. A couple of lamps would solve this problem. Also the TV's are really cheap and the sound is so bad it was very hard to make out what was being said. Volume doesn't help. A sound bar would save the day.
Overall this is a beautiful property. Kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed ourselves and spent a lot of time on the beautiful decks with comfortable chairs. But the best part was sitting by the river at night with a little fire. Fantastic.
This cabin was located on a beautiful stretch of the Cartecay River. The views from the back decks are amazing! The cabin is also very spacious and provides all the needed amenities!
Excellent property, exactly as depicted. River was amazing. Cabin clean and well appointed with fully stocked kitchen and luxury linens. Would highly recommend!
The perfect getaway for or family of 5 and dog! We have 3 boys and they absolutely loved the access to the river for fishing and playing by the fire. The house was cozy and clean and had more than enough room to fit us comfortably. Close to some main attractions and great hikes. Our only discomfort were all the spider webs on the porch. This made it a little hard to relax out there. Otherwise a fantastic trip and would recommend this location!
