Riverside Escape| Ellijay, GA
Welcome to Riverside Escape, a luxury riverfront cabin in Ellijay, GA, with over 200 feet of private access to the Ellijay River. Enjoy a covered hot tub right by the water, a full outdoor kitchen, and an incredible porch with a w/wood-burning fireplace. Inside, relax with modern rustic charm, a pool table, and two king bedrooms with river views. This serene, pet-friendly retreat has a fenced yard and is perfect for couples or small groups seeking a stylish and nature-rich getaway.
Living Areas Step into a welcoming great room where the rich warmth of wood tones and soaring ceilings invite you to settle in and stay awhile. Sink into the plush sofa or armchairs as the gas fireplace glows nearby, or enjoy a friendly round of pool in the game room loft. Large windows offer glimpses of the river, bringing the outdoors into your cozy living space. In the evenings, the vibe is relaxed and restorative. Curl up with a favorite movie on the smart TV or sip a glass of wine by the fire while the sound of the river drifts in through open doors. Whether gathered around the pool table or enjoying a board game, Riverside Escape makes indoor moments as memorable as those spent outside.
Kitchen/Dining Areas The sleek, fully equipped kitchen features quartz-surface countertops and everything you need to cook a hearty breakfast, a candlelit dinner, or anything in between. The generous coffee bar, complete with all the fixin's, will help motivate everyone for another day in the gorgeous Georgia mountains. Outside, your culinary possibilities expand dramatically. The riverfront outdoor kitchen includes a Blackstone griddle, gas grill, and prep space for crafting everything from burgers to a back-porch brunch. Dine alfresco under the covered patio by the crackling wood-burning fireplace for an unforgettable mealtime experience.
Bedrooms/Baths On the main level, a king bedroom offers serene views of the river and direct access to a spacious bathroom with a double vanity and walk-in shower. The decor is understated and soothing, with natural textures and plush bedding for restful nights. Upstairs, the private master suite features another king bed, a smart TV, and more sweeping river views. The en-suite bathroom includes a walk-in shower and dual vanities, making this a true sanctuary. Both bedrooms are designed with comfort and tranquility—ideal for slow mornings and cozy evenings.
Outdoor Amenities The magic of Riverside Escape lies in its stunning outdoor space. Over 200 feet of river frontage offers direct access to the Ellijay River, with easy steps into the water for wading, skipping stones, or simply soaking your toes. The fenced yard makes it easy to bring your pups along for the adventure. Soak in the private hot tub steps from the riverbank, covered for year-round enjoyment. Spend evenings gathered around the wood-burning outdoor fireplace, grilling dinner, and listening to the gentle sounds of the river under a canopy of stars.
Other Amenities The home includes smart TVs in both bedrooms, the outdoor kitchen and the living room, high-speed Wi-Fi, a washer and dryer, central HVAC, and a fenced yard—perfect for up to two well-behaved dogs.

The property was amazing! Very clean and well-maintained. The covered porch and hot tub area are both great! Right on the river! They were great! Very helpful and responsive. We actually added a night to our stay after we booked and they made the entire process extremely easy.

It was much larger than we had anticipated.
It was much larger than we had anticipated. It was very quiet other than the sound of the river which was so relaxing. Plenty of room and dogs are allowed. Great communication

We moved from Riverside Escape to Hemlock Creek on Thursday.
We moved from Riverside Escape to Hemlock Creek on Thursday. We went to use some more of our hamburger buns when at the second cabin and noticed that apparently a mouse had gotten ahold of our hamburger buns at Riverside Escape...noticed a hole in the bag and part of the bun eaten with some droppings on the rest of the buns. Interestingly, that was the only thing that was eaten. Weird, for sure, but it's nature and life, but troubling nonetheless. The initial reservation process was a bit clunky. I did not receive the automated e-mails. Perhaps adding a place to include the driver's license during the registration process would simplify getting that over to you during check in.
