Welcome to The Rainbow Lodge
Escape to The Rainbow Lodge, a stunning cabin tucked away in the serene Coosawattee River Resort, right along the beautiful Mountaintown Creek. Enjoy the peace and quiet as you watch geese land, deer graze nearby, and the majestic Blue Heron makes a visit. Cool off with a swim or grab a tube and float your worries away. Pure magic awaits you here!

The Space
This five-star cabin has it all! It’s recently remodeled and packed with luxury: top-notch hair care products, super comfy bedding, a gourmet kitchen, and more. Dive into fun with a game room featuring Air Hockey and Foosball, or kick back in the movie room with a massive 65" Smart TV. Choose between two cozy fireplaces, the firepit, or relax in the hot tub. With two king master suites that each have a balcony overlooking the river, you won't find a more perfect spot.

This cabin had the most beautiful views we've seen. The listing is accurate, and we had everything we needed. The host provided very detailed communication which made our trip seamless. The deer on the property and on the drive in were the perfect addition to a great trip. Highly recommend this host and we will be using again.

This was a great weekend getaway for my husband and I. The sight of the river from the living room was absolutely beautiful! Cabin was clean and very homey. Even though we brought our own, they provide a dog kennel and dog bowls for your pup. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. The owners are very responsive and make sure that you have an open line of communication to easily get a hold of them, if needed. My husband and I would definitely stay here again.

We had the most amazing time staying at The Rainbow Lodge. It was just as described-clean and so detail oriented. The view from the living room is exceptional overlooking the creek. We saw so many deer and other wildlife. Brad provided detailed instructions, tips, and information for our stay at their house and Ellijay. He was very responsive through text as well. We would most definitely stay here again. We played the family games by the fire. Our family had the best time. Thank you!!
