Myself and a large group of friends visited the Rocky River Cabin in June of 2024 and had an absolute blast. The property was beautiful and had so many things to do. The pictures truly don’t do it justice. The surrounding area is beautiful and clean. Would definitely stay at this Cabin again and highly recommend it for anyone wanting a fun and relaxing time in the mountains of North Georgia!

The cabin is great and has a lot of good things about it. Tons of activities and a hot tub that was very clean when we got there. Rules were easy to follow and had a great view of the River. We would come back to this next time we do a mountain trip.

Steeeeeeeep Driveway
We came for a long weekend retreat and enjoyed the location on the river! The property is in need of several repairs/updates. The kitchen had not been wiped down and there was significant dust accumulation in the upstairs bedroom. The basement shower curtain liner was moldy. There were also several items of clothing left out in the yard. We wanted to vacuum at one point, but neither of the vacuums was in working order. The crock pot was missing a side clip so we had to use a hair band to attach it in order to cook supper one night. None of these things prevented us from enjoying the visit, and if it weren’t for the steep driveway it would be ideal. The drive way is terrifying.

Family getaway
Overall we were very pleased with our stay. On the day we checked in I was a little early and had the opportunity to meet Mr. Hamilton. Ian is an amazing person and gave me a personal tour of his property and even told me about some of the outdoor activities that were near by. My wife and children had an amazing time and we look forward to visiting again.

Great time
Fun comfortable place with all you need to have fun in a great location. I was able to easily find it with apple maps despite concerns from checkin instructions. Personally didn't find getting there, or steep driveway others complained about to be an issue, nor did the 7 other drivers in my party. Place was clean and comfortable with great instructions and check in procedure documentation. The place is optimized for large groups, so the fact it only comes with one set of toilet paper roll and paper towl cheapens the experience for what was otherwise a greatly configured rental property. Overall, my group had a great time and would recommend.

We got SNOW!
We were able to check in early as the cabin was not rented the day before. Over all, the cabin was nice. Plenty of dinner table room for our family. Evenings were spent in the living room area by the wood burning fire place. Unfortunately, we underestimated the cold and didn’t have enough fire wood delivered which ended up costing us way more in wood than if we just ordered more. Plenty of sleeping options and tons of cooking utensils and apparatus in the kitchen. All in all, we had a good time. We happened to be there during one of the coldest Christmas’ in YEARS so the weather definitely complicated a few things but Ian was extremely helpful and easy to reach. BTW, if you want to be somewhere with zero cell service to get away from it all, this is the place. High speed internet worked very well though so you have options. My ONLY recommendation is that anyone that is considering renting in the winter where the possibility of snow or ice is likely, BE CAREFUL as the drive way down is steep. We had no issues with our 4x4 vehicles BUT two wheel drives will be a little nerve racking.

Wonderful Group Cabin with Plenty of Outdoor Space
Awesome time at this cabin lodge, or how we like to describe it: a log home! We came with our old college group of friends and enjoyed the spacious and warm home. There was plenty of room to house our group, along with having a bed for our group. It's right next to a river and it is so peaceful to hear the river in the mornings and nights. The interior was beautifully decorated. We were pleasantly surprised to see the Christmas decorations when we entered the lodge. The kitchen was as described and had a few seasonings for options, and SO many pots and pans. The outdoor space was HUGE. Perfect for field day-like activities or general sports, like throwing a frisbee, using the basketball hoop, as well as the volleyball court. All the amenities were nice (i.e. high speed internet, hot tub, canoe, fire pit, TV, washer & dryer). The owners are also very friendly and responsive to any questions we had ahead of time. Absolute great time and great for a weekend getaway with a larger group.
