Welcome to The Rainbow Lodge
Escape to The Rainbow Lodge, a stunning cabin tucked away in the serene Coosawattee River Resort, right along the beautiful Mountaintown Creek. Enjoy the peace and quiet as you watch geese land, deer graze nearby, and the majestic Blue Heron makes a visit. Cool off with a swim or grab a tube and float your worries away. Pure magic awaits you here!

The Space
This five-star cabin has it all! It’s recently remodeled and packed with luxury: top-notch hair care products, super comfy bedding, a gourmet kitchen, and more. Dive into fun with a game room featuring Air Hockey and Foosball, or kick back in the movie room with a massive 65" Smart TV. Choose between two cozy fireplaces, the firepit, or relax in the hot tub. With two king master suites that each have a balcony overlooking the river, you won't find a more perfect spot.

This was a great weekend getaway for my husband and I. The sight of the river from the living room was absolutely beautiful! Cabin was clean and very homey. Even though we brought our own, they provide a dog kennel and dog bowls for your pup. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. The owners are very responsive and make sure that you have an open line of communication to easily get a hold of them, if needed. My husband and I would definitely stay here again.

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!

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!
