We love this house. The layout is great for 3 generations. The river, the fire pit, the quiet are perfect. Gas logs, good internet, great TV-if you even need it 😁. Turkeys, deer, and a bear-oh my! Walked up on the bear but I think he didn’t see us as a threat and ran off by the river. Highly recommend for a relaxing convenient location to Blue Ridge, Dahlonega, hiking, etc.

Beautiful relaxing retreat!
The Cartecay River Retreat is an amazing spot! Right on the river, you can sit on the back deck and watch the serene waters flow. We love the screened in porch, so that you can enjoy the outdoors without bugs. The home is clean and welcoming, from the snacks and s’mores kit to the coffee bar and games. It is easy to get to the home without needing 4-wheel drive. The property is flat and perfect for elderly travelers. We took my two elderly, handicapped parents, and they were able to get around great! There is easy access through the screened in porch with just a small step up into the house. There are two bedrooms on the main floor and one has a walk-in shower and handheld shower head, which made it easy for my parents to use. The communication with the property owner was quick and efficient. We highly recommend this property!

Fun family time!
We had a nice time at the house on the river! It was beautiful and listening to the running river from the porches was wonderful! The kids really enjoyed the game room and hot tub. We all enjoyed the coffee bar! The river was running pretty fast, so our kiddos had to be careful in the river right at the house, but I’m sure it’s not always that swift/full. There are neighboring houses pretty close by, but we didn’t see anyone out and about while we were there. Ellijay has a fun downtown area that we enjoyed, also. Overall a very nice experience! We would enjoy staying here again if we return to the area!

Beautiful setting; warm welcoming atmosphere
Walking into the house, the first thing you see are the woods across the river and the river itself through the windows that run across the back of the house. There wasn't a thing that we needed except to bring our own food. We felt like we were being welcomed into a relatives home. While we did a little bit of hiking, our main goal was to just relax enjoy the view and the sounds of the water flowing down the river and over the rocks. Mission certainly accomplished and then some. Highly recommend this house for rental.

The house is great! Location is beautiful. The house was clean and everything you might need was there! We loved the back porch, the fire pit, the river! A great place to stroll around. Thankfully we did not see any bears! We enjoyed a float down the river. The hot tub was clean and ready to use. The coffee bar had everything you might need. We will definitely be back!

A gem!
This was such a wonderful home for our long weekend away! We wanted a place where my husband and son could fish from the backyard, and this fit the bill. The rest of us loved the views of the river. It was so relaxing to see the running water from our bedroom, the living room, or the porches! It was a very comfortable set up. We had my two year old son, me and my husband, and our parents (including one with mobility issues). Everyone had their own comfortable space as well as comfortable gathering spots for us to be together! The hosts have put in a lot of attention to small details that make a difference. Having a toddler in tow, it was so nice that they had a pack n play, high chair, and even toddler/kid utensils and dinnerware stocked! The coffee bar was enjoyed every morning, and they have everything we needed for cooking our meals at home, plus lots of extra treats like wine and a snack basket. They even had extra ponytail ties in the master bath--so thoughtful! The location was convenient to town, and our crew enjoyed the hot tub and the tubes they provided. We drove upstream a couple miles, put our tubes in at the Cartecay Canoe Launch, and were able to float right to our backyard and get out there! We would definitely rent this home again and recommend it to others.

Favorite cabin
The cabin was exactly as described and seen in the photos. It was clean and spacious. With two families, the double master bedrooms/bathrooms were wonderful. The kitchen had more than we thought we needed including an Instant Pot! We loved the coffee bar with the special mugs. It was such a fun touch! My boys had a blast playing in and floating down the river everyday. My husband fished, while I enjoyed listening to the river flowing by. Our families enjoyed the firepit. We traveled to Tumbling Waters Trail and Amicalola State Park. Downtown Ellijay has many good restaurants and cute stores to shop in.

Great getaway next to wonderful creek!
Wonderful house with ALL amenities we could imagine. Perfect house size and comfort facilities for our party of five adults a two young children. Best tool supplied was powerful electric leaf blower with charger and two charged batteries. (Great for clearing deck, porch, driveway and sidewalks when we first arrived.) Perfect location for access to river for fly fishing. Best place overall our family has ever stayed for vacation.

Relaxing getaway with great views and special touches!
This property was very relaxing! It’s right on the river, so we were able to watch the geese each morning as we ate breakfast. The home is very clean, and there are little special touches everywhere - from the s’mores kit to the snack baskets to the toiletries in the bathroom to the fully stocked coffee bar (flavored syrups, creamers, tea, and cocoa, too!). There was great communication with the property contact. The location is close to the city and is easily accessible is paved roads. We also appreciated that there was easy access for our handicapped and elderly parents with bedrooms on the main floor, a walk-in shower in the bathroom & only one step into the home. We highly recommend!!!

Awesome house and location!
The house was wonderful. Very clean and had everything you would need plus extras. The owner's took care of small extras such as the supplies to make smores by the fire, innertubes for the lake, even extra towels for the hot tube or lake. It is right on the lake which is nice, but less than 10 mins from restaurants in Ellijay and just minutes from the apple orchards. I marked this place to definitely come back again.
