You won’t find a closer connection to the stunning Coosawattee River than at this idyllic riverfront retreat, nestled just outside the charming town of Ellijay. Whether you're relaxing by the outdoor firepit or lounging on the expansive, wrap-around deck with front-row waterfront views, you'll be fully immersed in the natural beauty of North Georgia.
This two-level, air-conditioned cabin exudes rustic charm, with warm natural wood gracing the walls, floors, and ceilings, and large windows that bring the riverfront setting indoors. Step inside to find a well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar on your left and a cozy dining area for six on your right. Just beyond, the open-concept living room invites you to kick back with plush seating, a gas fireplace, and a streaming-ready flatscreen TV mounted above a stone hearth.
The true heart of the home, however, lies outside. The spacious deck overlooks the flowing river and features everything you need for outdoor living: a gas grill, al fresco dining area, cushioned seating, a porch swing, and a bar counter perfect for evening cocktails by the water. Spend your days dipping your toes in the cool river below, and your nights sharing stories around the firepit.
When it’s time to wind down, you'll find a peaceful bedroom on the main floor with direct deck access, and an upstairs bedroom with its own private balcony. Additional amenities include a washer and dryer, complimentary WiFi, and access to community perks such as a swimming pool, fitness center, and tennis and basketball courts.

Loved it!!
The location of this comfortable cabin is right on the river, which was perfect for my fishing-loving husband. We enjoyed the porch over looking the waters, the geese, and even the deer walked by on our last morning.
The cabin is comfortable and well furnished with inside and outdoor space including outdoor heaters for cooler evenings. The kitchen has everything you need for meals. We hope to return.

No condiments not enough TP or paper towels. Be prepared to buy EVERYTHING you will need.
Place was great. Fridge and freezer were completely empty. There was only two rolls of toilet paper and 1 roll of paper towels.. all the cheapest on the market.
We had to buy everything from coffee to paper towels to ketchup and mayo. The fridge and freezer only had ice. Doors dont shut well and need to be fixed.

Overall Great Stay
Overall, our stay at Rushing River was great! The home sits at the end of a narrow gravel road that makes it very private. Luckily, Waze navigation got us there with only a couple backtracks. There is no ATT cell reception (probably true for any carrier) because the cabin is in a deep valley. The cabin Wi-Fi worked very well anywhere on the property and connection was easy.
The cabin itself has pretty much everything you need. It took a little looking into all the closets to find everything (e.g., kitchen wastebasket). The kitchen is well equipped with modern appliances. The coffee maker can be used with grounds or K-cup. There was even a grinder if you have coffee beans (didn’t use). The two TVs are Roku TVs but are very limited on selection. There is a TV channel listing provided, but not instructions on how to access. We brought our own Roku connection, so we could watch as if at home.
Our biggest complaint and disappointment was the master bed. It didn’t provide much support and the mattress is soft. It lacks box springs, and the bed frame has straps that are far apart. With the lovely furnishing everywhere else, it seemed that the bed is a budget-cutter. We ended up sleeping in the upstairs queen (listed as two twins, but there are a queen and twin in the room) because of backaches from the master bed.
The rapids just up from the cabin make sitting outside in the ample seating enjoyable day or night. Waved to those tubing on the river. We really enjoyed swinging in the hammock while relaxing with a good book. The afternoon sun almost made it too hot to sit on the front deck even though there are ceiling fans. An option is to sit in the two chairs placed right at the shore of the river. The hot tub was also very enjoyable even though it was mid-August.
The river isn’t very deep at this point. Probably could wade all the way across, but footing is difficult because of the rocky bottom. The water temp is a little chilly but not too bad. Fishing right in front may not be very promising so going above the rapids looked better if you can wade that far or cut through the woods and come out higher up.
A very relaxing place to unwind and watch the river go by. You will be a ways from anywhere so come prepared.

Sleeps 6 seats 3?
Amazing location. Patio has great seating and lots of views. The water was a big part of our stay. The only down sides were the lack of seating in the living room (no chairs, or table) like pictured on VRBO. Overall had a good time.

Cut short unnecessarily
This was my husband and I’s first trip without kids in 10 years, so needless to say we were really looking forward to it. On day 2 of our stay, 2 men in a van came to the cabin to say that the owner was turning off the internet! We counted on WiFi because we had no cell service. We could not be unreachable, so after contacting Vacasa, (who could not get the internet restored) we were forced to cut our stay short. They were helpful in relocating us to another cabin, but we were disappointed that something this avoidable was allowed to happen in the middle of our stay. We really loved this cabin and would have given a 5-star review had someone not dropped the ball. I’m sad to say I am not sure we will book a stay through this company again.

Peaceful
We enjoyed our stay here. It was semi-private (you can see other cabins but still private) but 17 minutes or less to town. I took my little boy to a close pond within the resort and he caught 6 fish. We hope to come back again.
