Riverfront, loud rapids, screen porch-River's Echo (neighboring Rapids' Echo

Located directly on the Coosawattee River, you'll love the calming sound of the river both day and night. The last 1/2 mile of roads to the cabin are gravel, so even though you're only an hour or so north of the city, you'll feel a world away from life's 'normal' stress.

There is a large covered porch with ceiling fans and plenty of seating, including a log swing. Enjoy meals on the huge screened in porch while being entertained by the abundant wildlife both in the wooded yard and in the river. It's not uncommon to see deer playing in the river or crossing through the yard. Let your relaxation continue as you build your own campfire by the river. Terrace level patio features a 6-person hot tub - perfect way to end an evening if you choose.

Main floor features a living room with a gas fireplace and a 55-inch TV. Kitchen with plenty of counter space and stainless steel appliances is stocked with all the culinary tools you'll need - coffee maker, pots and pans, cutlery, bottle opener, etc. Large Master bedroom features King log bed with high-quality mattress for a perfect night's sleep. Master Bath has whirlpool bath and separate shower.

Upper level has loft area and second Master bedroom which also has King size log bed. Walk out of this bedroom onto a small private covered porch.

Terrace level is the 'fun' zone, featuring a large seating area with 55 inch TV, board games, puzzles and books. There is also a full-sized ping pong table (with paddles and balls) if you're feeling competitive. Bedroom with 2 Twin log beds connects to full bathroom with washer/dryer.

Relaxing Get Away in Ellijay
This vacation home was the perfect location for a wonderful week in the woods near a river. We had five adults for our stay. The home had everything we needed for relaxing, cooking, campfires with s'mores, fishing, comfortable beds, linens, towels, a hot tub, etc. The home is near so many great spots such as wineries and apple orchards. We had wine samplings and drank apple cider. My son purchased individual apple pies for our dessert one night...so yummy. We took trips into Blue Ridge and Ellijay for shopping and eating. We traveled to check out the nearby waterfalls and they were spectacular. We got a chance to meet Doug and Mandy. What wonderful people and hosts! They were next door at another home they own and rent for vacationers but came over to make sure we had everything we needed. We were thrilled to see the wildlife (deer, geese with goslings, birds in the river, songbirds in the trees, squirrels, and many more). There is a reason this vacation home receives outstanding reviews. I can't wait to go back and spend more time at this relaxing get away in Ellijay, Ga.

Our favorite stay yet!
If you’re looking for a beautiful property to rent in the Ellijay area… this is the one!! We have stayed in multiple houses for our Blue Ridge getaways, but Rivers Echo is so special :-) The home was clean, well stocked, and located in such a peaceful setting. There were Deer EVERYWHERE! My little ones loved seeing all the wildlife and playing by the river. I loved the book selection throughout the house. The beds were super comfortable and cozy. We used the hot tub every night. Mandy was extremely fast to respond with any questions I had regarding our stay. I appreciate your professionalism and courtesy! We will definitely be back to stay in the future- only longer next time :-)

Wonderful cabin by the river
Great place to relax. Loved the outdoor space. We grilled out almost every night. Screen porch dining and sitting area was spacious and comfortable. Comfy chairs and sofa in the living room. Loved the relaxing sounds of the river!!! Close to restaurants and shopping if desired. The beds were very comfortable and the large jetted tub in the master was great. Kitchen was well stocked. We will be back!
