Great view and relaxing river sounds
This property is all about the view. You can not get a more beautiful river view than this cabin. Close to Atlanta and close to Elijay. It is well situated. The cabin was clean. Beds and bathrooms were comfortable and worked well for us. There is one way into this property. There is a turnaround down from the house. I never looked forward to using it, as it was tight and very high up. But it worked. Any issues I mention are overcome by the river view. I did wish they had better lighting in the main living area. It is all overhead and I find it glaring and uncomfortable. A couple of lamps would solve this problem. Also the TV's are really cheap and the sound is so bad it was very hard to make out what was being said. Volume doesn't help. A sound bar would save the day. Overall this is a beautiful property. Kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed ourselves and spent a lot of time on the beautiful decks with comfortable chairs. But the best part was sitting by the river at night with a little fire. Fantastic.

Awesome property
I rented this property for my wife’s birthday. When pulled onto the property and opened the door she said I hit it out of the park. This place is amazing. I would go back every time. You definitely won’t be disappointed.

Family vacation
Beautiful cabin with the creek/river right below us. It was very peaceful. Lots to do nearby activities and shopping. Our family e hours out stay! A few kinks No curtains in the bedroom I stayed in or blinds over the windows. Morning sun became an issue. None in the den either. Which was great for the den/kitchen area because lighting was poor for cooking We noticed a leak under the sink in the kitchen and could only use one side of the sink Trash was knocked over every night. It needs to be more secured. Wonderful cabin just needs a little more TLC

Beautiful spot
Rushing River Lodge is secluded and on a river. The only people we saw while at the lodge were kyakers. River access is easy and the fishing was a blast. We love that each bedroom was on a different level so while we were together as a family, everybody had their own space for private time. It was a wonderful vacation!

We loved this cabin! The location on the river was perfect (the neighborhood driving in, not so much.) We appreciated that this was a dog-friendly property. It’s isolated enough yet still close to shops and restaurants! We had an amazing time!

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at the rushing River lodge for 4 nights. Beautiful accommodations. Waterfront seating with firepit. Kitchen is completely outfitted for most anything. Has a drip coffee maker as well as a keurig. Seating for dining in and outside. Porches on each level. Fabulous views of the river. Wish we had booked a longer stay!

Rushing River Journey
House and river were fantastic! Too much of a house for 2 people -- too many stairs to climb to get to river, hot tub. Turn around - not good! Gravel road into property was not very good for the car (even though we have a Suburu all wheel drive). Beds too high and squeaky - needed a step stool to climb up on it. Enjoyed Ethel's painting (since I am a little bit of an artist). Great location to meet up with friends that live quite close by.

Great house!
We had a great time, the house is very large and clean. Great location, direct access to the river, nice surroundings, plenty of paths to walk your dog, if traveling with one. 15-20 minutes from Amicalola Park with beautiful waterfalls and trails. We traveled in July 2023 enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone.

Best vacation
After all the cabins we have rented in north Georgia ,this was by far the best! The cabins location is excellent , close to downtown Ellijay ,Blue Ridge , orchards ,Amicola falls, other falls in area . The location on the cartecay river is perfect , allowing us to tube from cabin to a take out area further down stream . We saw abundance of deer around cabin and floating down river. It was the best family vacation we ever had ! The cabin is perfect with 3 seperste levels and privacy for everyone . Views over river are beautiful and peaceful . The house has everything you need and made us feel right at home . Thankyou for sharing this wonderful cabin !!

Birthday Getaway
We had a great time at the rushing river lodge! We were a multigenerational crew who went up for a weekend to celebrate birthdays. Favorite parts: sitting by the river, fishing and floating down the river, and relaxing in the hot tub and enjoying the river. We slept with the window opened at night so we could hear the river—amazing! The house was super comfortable and had everything we needed for a very memorable weekend.

Scenic riverside cabin
The cabin is off the beaten path so be prepared for that, but the river side location is fantastic. The beds aren’t the most comfortable but you can relax in the hot tub and comfy couches
