Floated the river, rinsed off and hit the hot tub everyday. We don’t usually do the same property twice, but we might have to hit this one again! Awesome and communicative owners with great suggestions for activities in Ellijay. Lovely people.

Peaceful retreat, great location.
The Cartecay River House was the peaceful retreat our families needed. There was plenty of space for 4 adults and 6 children, all under 10 years old. The sound of the river was what we all neeeded to relax and realign with nature. With young children, the close proximity to town and the short drive to Amicalola Falls was just right. And, the bedding was dreamy. We hope to come back soon!

Great cabin for a birthday getaway!
We rented this cabin for my 40th birthday weekend with four couples. It was perfect for all of us. We never felt like we were on top of each other because the cabin was spacious. One of the few cabins with a king bed in every bedroom! The cabin was so well stocked and equipped with everything we needed. Also very clean!

Beautiful Home and Location
Our stay was 2 families with 4 teenage boys. The home was great as the boys loved taking over the walk out lower level. There is one main floor master suite and then the 2nd floor has 2 bedrooms with king beds that share a full bath. We were uncertain of the 2nd floor layout so I wanted to point that out. Only hiccups were if you email the owner and don't get a response the property manager has the wrong email for her so she never replied. When we got to the home (5ish) to check in, housekeeping was just getting there. They were unaware of our stay so we had to wait a few hours. The home owner was very apologetic and compensated us. Overall a beautiful home and location. We enjoyed our stay.

Amazing river home - very spacious. We had 10 people in our group and had plenty of space. Beautiful view of the river. Enjoyed making a campfire in the backyard. Played cornhole- game room was enjoyed by everyone. The cabin was really nice. All of the beds and sheets were extremely comfortable- would definitely recommend and stay there again.
