Couldn’t be more perfect

What a beautiful property! The pictures don’t do it justice! Accessing it is not very convenient bc you need to park your car on the street and hike 2 flights of stairs to get to the cabin but I will tell you it is worth it! Beautiful views from every window. So tranquil! We loved having such great, private access to the river. We swam in its cool waters every day. When you are in the hot tub you feel like you are in a treehouse. The wildlife is prolific. The deer came right up to us. Truly a magical property! Not only does it have the gorgeous river, it also has a tumbling stream on the side of the house. The kitchen is small and somewhat tucked away, but very well stocked and modern. The upstairs master is gorgeous and very comfortable. Has a spacious en-suite. We loved that each of the main bedrooms had their own private decks. The main level bedroom is comfortable but it’s en-suite is small with no counter space. The bottom level of the cabin is spacious and very comfortable as well. It has a fun game room and nice den area with tv and Xbox. The bunk room is wonderful and it’s bathroom is spacious. The entire cabin is clean and impeccably maintained and just a pure joy to stay in. All in all this was our favorite cabin that we have rented in the area. We will definitely be renting it again. The complementary apple pie was a wonderful treat. The host was easy to connect with, responsive and very professional.

Relaxing getaway!

We really enjoyed our getaway to the Rainbow Lodge. The location was very scenic on the river and the property is extremely clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The location is remote enough to have some privacy but convenient to downtown Elijay (just under 20 minutes). The cabin is probably the most well-equipped place we have rented, with ample supplies available and a lot of attention to detail, including coffee and hot cocoa provisions. We appreciated that they provided for our pup as well, including dog bed, bowls, and blankets. Although it rained some during our stay we stayed entertained with air hockey, games, XBox, and comfy media room. The host is very helpful and provides a ton of information. We would certainly rent again!

Weekend getaway

Over all the property was as presented in listing. The disappointing factor was the hot tub not working properly. We based our search and decision on this amenity and for it to not heat properly was a let down . Honestly I feel there was more than enough communication from management .hope they can get things working before next group arrives.

Awesome property, beautiful cabin, ideal family location! We couldn’t have had a better stay with our kids over fall break. There were too many small touches to name, but games and activities for the kids, a beautiful river location, quiet, serene, a nice hot tub, a great fire pit, great windows and views, many different ways to enjoy the property both inside and out! Brad and his team did a wonderful job, and had the clearest communication for any rental we’ve had. We will be back! Easiest 5/5 rating we could give!

Absolutely, 5 stars! 😊

We have been visiting the area as a family a few times each year for the past 6 or 7 years. This was definitely one of our best experiences. The cabin was just as described and included so many “nice touches” it is hard to remember them all. The complimentary apple pie, Keurig coffee stations in the rooms, games, welcome guide, ample linens, and cleaning supplies all made us feel welcome and comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked, and I could not think of anything I needed that was not provided. I am used to needing to bring a few things like measuring cups and storage containers, but I did not need them on this trip. The attention to detail was top notch! We loved the access to the creek, hot tub overlooking the creek, fire pit, and comfortable movie room for the evenings. It was so peaceful to sit on the deck and listen to the creek, watch the geese glide by, or see the deer feeding in the woods. Brad was also very attentive and checked in to make sure everything was going well. We just cannot say enough positive things, and this cabin will be at the top of our list when we have a chance to return!

Magical Stay in Ellijay

Pictures don't do this property justice. We were thoroughly impressed by the location of the cabin, the setup and cleanliness of the cabin and the amenities of the neighborhood. We felt secluded enough without being in the middle of nowhere. Our kids LOVED the river, it's perfect for jumping from rock to rock, fishing and feeding the geese. We enjoyed the firepit every night & the beds were very comfortable! The Keurig in each bedroom was a great touch :) We will definitely be staying again.

Riverside Fun

Brad is an amazing host. My comment to him before we arrived was that the information provided was pleasantly overwhelming. There are no surprises about the property and what is provided. He is very attentive. The house was exactly what we were looking for…situated right on the river with the ability to swim and enjoy right in front of the property. Our daughter walked up the river numerous times and rafted down. (Be sure to bring rafts if it’s a warm weather visit). We enjoyed fires and story telling in the evenings. We all had a fabulous time! The house does have stairs leading down to the entrance but it wasn’t a deterrent for us. We had a set of grandparents and a dog. The beds were comfy; kitchen well equipped; nice views; and good layout for a family. We had a challenge getting into the property but Brad owned it and made it good. If you want a riverside getaway in a cute little town like Ellijay, this property and location are great. We look forward to booking the property again!

We loved everything about this property. The house was the perfect size and was perfectly equipped with everything we needed. The listing description of “lots of steps” is accurate…you will walk up and down lots of them, but it was totally worth it to us. We felt like the location at the bottom of the hill is part of what made it so private. The hosts were amazing - so responsive, friendly, and helpful.

Beautiful Spot to Relax

Beautiful location not too far from Atlanta but far enough to have a relaxing weekend getaway. The host, Brad, is on top of it! He communicates well before and during your stay. No details were left out. Great views for the adults to sit and relax, and fun games and activities for the kids to keep them busy in the bottom level the entire weekend. The 2 flights of stairs to and from the house were not that bad. I only got huffs and puffs when it was time to take the load back to the car to load up when we were leaving. The overall layout of the lot is very well done and easy to walk around and enjoy. As a group of 8, we had plenty of room to separate or come together when we wanted. It was just what we were looking for after the busy holidays and new year planning. Great experience overall!

Really enjoyed this place. We’ve come to mountains for several years now and we prefer to be on the water. There were deer everywhere which the kids loved. This place was so cozy. Beds were so comfortable. Kitchen was stocked. All the amenities…creek, wildlife, keurigs in every room stocked with coffee, game run, big tvs in every room, porches at every angle of the cabin, multiple fire places. It was just the perfect get away for my family. Brad is super attentive and so nice. I only prefer to rent from actual owners v companies. We try not to bother while we are away unless needed but I know he would’ve been more then happy to assist in a second should something have come up. Thank you so much!
