Stayed while doing the Georgia Death Race

This little gem is low key, clean and a safe place to stay. The neighborhood was friendly and driving to and from the race was easy. It’s ideal for 2 low key people that aren’t expecting ritzy. Definitely would come back!

Had a wonderful stay, the amenities and property was very accommodating. We also visited several places in the area. We wanted to get away from the city life in Miami, Fl for New Year’s and this was the perfect spot. The river and fire pits were perfect for the cold weather. Hope to return in the near future.

Perfect Place / Everything you Need

Cannot say enough wonderful things about River Rock Cabin. The property is beautiful - right on the river; quiet and relaxing. The cabin was exceptionally clean and had everything you could think of. The owners left us goodies for our hikes and gift as well. I've been to many VRBO locations, and this by far out ranks any of the others. We had a wonderful time and plan on returning soon.

Best VRBO yet!!! Perfect location to forget city life. The accommodations were...well accommodating...it even had little touches of welcome to it like a selection of snacks in the table,clean fire pits with fire starter and a pile of wood by each fire pit. It has everything needed to enjoy what you're paying for. All and all best money I've spent in a while!!!

Great getaway.

Really enjoyed staying here. The place is pet friendly, quiet and sits next to the beautiful Etowah River. Great hiking nearby. The hosts were very accommodating and easy to reach if I had a question. Far better experience then when I booked with Joni A Lee, Prop id 3156388 in Suches, Ga which is just up the road. VRBO host have alot of power over VRBO and Carson Cabins is very straight foward and honest with their pricing. and extra fees that can vary from host to host. Be careful if booking with Ms. Lee, you might be surprised when you see your credit card bill even if you have an arrangement in writing thru the VRBO message board.

Furbabys vacation

Our lifes been so hectic this year ,we needed time away and our furbaby had not been able to go anywhere this year. Property was amazing, caught trout,bass and crawfish. Home was ready to go when we arrived. Had a campfire each night with chopped wood supplied by owners. Would be nice to have a box fan to circulates air and our border collie is a senior and was not able to climb inside stairs but he could manage the stairs outside leading to the living room and kitchen. Bedroom and bath was downstiars.
