Riverfront, loud rapids, screen porch-River's Echo (neighboring Rapids' Echo

Located directly on the Coosawattee River, you'll love the calming sound of the river both day and night. The last 1/2 mile of roads to the cabin are gravel, so even though you're only an hour or so north of the city, you'll feel a world away from life's 'normal' stress.

There is a large covered porch with ceiling fans and plenty of seating, including a log swing. Enjoy meals on the huge screened in porch while being entertained by the abundant wildlife both in the wooded yard and in the river. It's not uncommon to see deer playing in the river or crossing through the yard. Let your relaxation continue as you build your own campfire by the river. Terrace level patio features a 6-person hot tub - perfect way to end an evening if you choose.

Main floor features a living room with a gas fireplace and a 55-inch TV. Kitchen with plenty of counter space and stainless steel appliances is stocked with all the culinary tools you'll need - coffee maker, pots and pans, cutlery, bottle opener, etc. Large Master bedroom features King log bed with high-quality mattress for a perfect night's sleep. Master Bath has whirlpool bath and separate shower.

Upper level has loft area and second Master bedroom which also has King size log bed. Walk out of this bedroom onto a small private covered porch.

Terrace level is the 'fun' zone, featuring a large seating area with 55 inch TV, board games, puzzles and books. There is also a full-sized ping pong table (with paddles and balls) if you're feeling competitive. Bedroom with 2 Twin log beds connects to full bathroom with washer/dryer.

Amazing location

This was an amazing cabin right along the Coosawattee. There was every amenity available, the property managers were extremely helpful, and the resort was beautiful. It is also conveniently located to 515 so quick trip to both Ellijay and Blue Ridge. We will definitely be coming back!

Perfect place

this cabin and the hosts are the best of the best. There is a reason why you have to book quickly here...they have so many guests that return yearly b/c we all know the secret--you cannot find a better place on the river! the noise from the river hitting the rocks creates the perfect, peaceful sounds for relaxing on the covered deck or screened in patio. The cabin is roomy and comfortable with everything you need. Book it while you can b/c it fills up pretty quickly.

Cabin Fever? More Like Cabin Bliss!

Our stay at this riverfront cabin was absolutely serene! The views were stunning—waking up to the peaceful river and surrounding nature was a dream. The property was incredibly quiet, perfect for unwinding and truly relaxing.The cabin itself was spotless and very well-maintained. It felt both spacious and cozy, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out comfortably. You can tell the owners take great pride in this excellent property. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommend for anyone looking to escape and recharge in a beautiful, tranquil setting!

A Cozy Weekend Getaway at River’s Echo

We had an amazing chilly weekend at River’s Echo. Spending evenings by the campfire next to the river was so relaxing. We made the most of the hot tub, outdoor patio, ping pong table, and the super comfortable beds. Can’t wait to come back! Thank you, Mandy and Doug, for a fantastic weekend!

Cohort Retreat

River Echo cabin was perfectly located on the Coosawettee River. Watching and listening to the rapids was replenishing. The screened in porch was large and accommodated our group of 5 perfectly. The kitchen had all the supplies we needed for meals etc. Beds and baths were comfortable and updated. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We had the BEST time at the Rivers Echo cabin! We spent quiet evenings by the fire and the kids played in the river during the day! We had one minor issue after checking in, but with a call to the owners, they had someone come out within the hour and we were all set. Wonderful hosts, beautiful property, and lasting memories!

Relaxation at its best

Location is everything with this unit. Quiet road. Noisy river rapids. Great fire pit. Deer everywhere. Takes all of your stress away. Also has a hot tub that we did not use, but it was ready for us if we desired. Ellijay's vineyards and orchards are nearby. Host is easy to contact if needed.
