Jess was a great host. This is a beautiful home and had everything we needed for a wonderful Thanksgiving week with family. We loved waking up in the morning to the wildlife drinking out of the river. Deer and bear with cubs. Wish we had more time, we will definitely be back.

We enjoyed our stay, beds were comfortable, easy access to river which would be great in the summer. There were tons of kitchen items, enough seating in living room and fun game room, laughed so hard with the ping pong! Entrance was a little hard for these old bones but doable when not carrying things in. Only suggestion I would have for the owners would be to have a space in a cabinet to place our food items. Thank you for sharing your home!

Great cabin on the river

Perfect house for our family’s last minute getaway. Great views of the river and included everything we needed. The only negative was the large deposit required (almost 2x the rental fee) and the time to get that released, but this is more of a VRBO issue.

It was our 40th anniversary and I thought the host would have done something extra for us. We would have liked to have Dish on when we got there. I guess we overlooked that part because other places we have stayed that was a given. Again, it was very relaxing and we did create some nice memories.

Christmas stay

The cabin was fantastic. We had everything we needed to prepare Christmas dinner for our family. The river outside the cabin is amazing and the pictures do not do it justice. Thank you for allowing our family to have a home away from home in such a special occasion. We are planning our trip for next year!

Stunning location and very relaxing

My husband and I had a wonderful long weekend at this cabin!! The location was amazing with stunning views of the river & without having to take a thousand stairs to get down to the water. The kitchen was fully stocked to make any meal. The swinging bed was my favorite place to relax and the open air hot tub was the best hot tub we have ever enjoyed. Communication with the owner was clear and fast. We will definitely book again.

Perfect Weekend Getaway!

This cabin was perfect for our family. We love the location and the amenities offered. Jess was great to work with and was very accommodating. The only cons we had were we wish the cleaning would have been a little more thorough and to have the grass mowed. We had a little trouble at the guard shack when we first checked in, but this was at no fault to the property owner. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful property with incredible views

Our family and in-laws visited during the week of Thanksgiving and had a fantastic stay. The home was well equipped with everything you could think of. The river is steps away and the views were unbeatable. The peaceful serene setting was the perfect way to spend a week with family. The hot tub was clean. The home is very convenient to Main Street, wineries, hikes, orchards, etc. Perfect place for families with children. Our 3 and 7 year old enjoyed the game room tremendously and spent hours at the waters edge skipping rocks. We found some trails right behind the property which our kids loved as well. We really enjoyed our visit.

Spacious, clean stay on the river

Despite multiple stays in Ellijay and at this resort, this was our first stay at this specific cabin, and it did not disappoint. Our whole family enjoyed how spacious and well stocked it was. But the best part was the location - a private spot right on the river. We spent a ton of time on the huge deck, in the hot tub, and by the river itself, with fall colors in peak season. We couldn’t successfully pull up much on Dish Network and it would be nice if the main level bathroom door locked properly, but those were minor concerns. We hope we can stay here again in the future.

Tranquility by the River: A Perfect Escape

If you’re looking for a serene getaway, this river cabin retreat is the place to be. Nestled among towering trees and just steps away from the soothing sounds of flowing water, it offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort.The cabin itself is cozy yet spacious, with picturesque views of the river. The interior is thoughtfully designed, with comfortable furnishings and a well-equipped kitchen that made mealtime a breeze.One of the highlights was the deck overlooking the river. It was the perfect spot for morning coffee, lazy afternoons with a book, or evening stargazing. Whether you’re seeking peace and quiet or a base for exploring nearby hiking trails, this cabin delivers. I left feeling recharged and already thinking of my next visit. Highly recommended for nature lovers and anyone needing a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Family retreat

Relaxing at River Rock Mtn Chalet was wonderful.. Property is as described. Pictures are accurate, although in the summer months, there is much more greenery and grass. Wonderful location for tubing. Jessica was very helpful in telling us where we could park for easy tubing back to our cabin.This location offers easy access to step into the river. It was perfect for fishing and for our dog who loves to play in the water. Other places usually have a drop off embankment or lots of steps. This was easy access to the water. Cabin was nice and beds were comfortable. We loved the cushioned porch swings! (although porches themselves could use a good cleaning) Fire pit was perfect at night for smores (take the long metal roasting forks) Kitchen had all the things we needed to cook. We found that the hot tub would not heat, Jessica got someone out there ASAP. We definitely plan to return.

Beautiful location and relaxing family trip

Our family of four (kids ages 18 and 12) and two dogs had a wonderful, relaxing trip! The cabin is just beautiful and private, set right on the river. We spent the majority of our time by the fire pit (which is awesome), just enjoying the river view, watching deer and wildlife, listening to music and reading. Lots of hot tub time too! It was heavenly to sit out there in the hot tub with my Kindle and read with that beautiful view. We also loved the porches - especially the primary bedroom porch with the swing (perfection!). The downstairs game room is wonderful too, especially for older kids. We also absolutely loved the trail right outside the cabin alongside a creek. Our dogs are missing those daily walks! Wide, clear paths that were perfect for quick or long walks. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we brought groceries with us to make things easier. We cooked many meals and also went out for several dinners. The living room was great and we loved the comfy leather recliners and sofa - and used the fireplace daily. Everyone agreed the rooms and beds were comfy, and we had plenty of space and great bathrooms. The original artwork thought the cabin was also beautiful and something I personally enjoyed every day. We had a great time and a much needed “slow down” for our family. It was the perfect place for a break! We already miss the sounds and view of the river and hope to be back again soon!

Perfect spot for some R&R. The house was very clean and cozy with a woodburning fireplace and also had a very well equipped kitchen. House is located at the end of road, so very private. Loved the river right out front (teenage boys fished but didnt catch much) and there was a nice trail behind the house for a hike. So many deer!! Loved the game room downstairs perfect for our rainy day. Our stay exceeded our expectations and we would stay here again!
