Shine on the Cartecay • Hot Tub + Game Room • Hammocks & Fire Pits

Wake up to birdsong and the whisper of the Cartecay River, just steps from your back door. Spend mornings sipping coffee in a riverside hammock, afternoons conquering the game-room putting green, and evenings soaking under starlit skies in the hot tub. With two floors of well-designed space, luxe kitchen, and every outdoor game you can name, this home is the perfect mash-up of rustic mountain vibes and modern convenience.

The Space
Main Level
• Bright, open-plan living room with vaulted ceilings, french doors leading to deck, and a stone-faced gas fireplace on an easy wall-timer.
• Deluxe kitchen—granite, stainless, gas Wolf range, well-equipped, LARGE pantry.
• Dining table for 6 plus countertop seating for casual breakfasts (plus a kid's table with four more seats!).
• Primary suite: king bed, spa-style en-suite (full tub + walk-in shower), and private deck access.
• Handy half-bath just off the living area.

Lower Level
• Game room: ping-pong table, air-hockey table, mini putting green, Xbox 360 with two controllers and a second gas fireplace—perfect for rainy-day tournaments.
• Dedicated workspace with desk + fast Wi-Fi.
• Bedroom 2: king bed.
• Bedroom 3: twin trundle + two twin-over-queen bunks (sleeps 8 kiddos or the young-at-heart!).
• Shared full bath with tub/shower combo.

Outdoor Living
• Hot tub on the lower patio—watch the river roll by while you soak.
• Two fire pits (one riverside, one near the house) with Adirondack seating for s'mores sessions.
• Yard games galore: horseshoes, hopscotch court, cornhole boards.
• Four hammocks strung between tall pines—claim your favorite and nap to the sound of rushing water.
• Direct river frontage—launch tubes or cast a fishing line right from the bank (bring your own gear).

Guest Access
Entire home, inside and out, is yours—no shared spaces. We have three locked closets, but there is ample storage throughout the cabin. Flat parking for 4+ vehicles and easy, paved road access all the way to the driveway.

Other Things to Note
• Smart, keyless entry—code provided the morning of check-in.
• Three exterior security cameras (facing river from the back of the house, facing driveway & front door ring doorbell) for your peace of mind—never inside.
• We provide starter supplies (trash bags, paper products, soaps).
• Dogs welcome with prior approval and fee; sorry, no cats (allergy friendly).
• Grocery delivery available from Ellijay

Interaction With Guests
We're North Georgia locals—text us any time for insider tips, from waterfall hikes to the best BBQ in town, or even a quick lesson on lighting the perfect campfire. We respect your privacy but live just 20 minutes away if anything comes up.
