This was our second stay at Riverstone Lodge, and it was every bit as wonderful as the first! We rented both cabins (Rocky River and Riverstone) with my side of the family and had such an amazing time together. It was wonderful having two cabins so close to each other. The setting is just perfect—nestled in the mountains and right on the river. We spent our days canoeing, kayaking, and tubing, and our evenings roasting s’mores around the fire and laughing together under the stars.It’s such a special place for making family memories, and we’re already talking about when we can come back again. Everything was clean, cozy, and beautifully maintained, and the owners clearly put a lot of care into making it a welcoming getaway. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful and fun mountain escape!

We enjoyed our stay. There were many activities available to keep the entire family entertained. We really appreciated the tubes and kayaks that were provided. Ian and Sara were great hosts. And fortunately we did not kiss the bear Ian. However we probably could have hand fed all of the deer!

Great cabin with amazing views and close to town!

We had an amazing stay! We had a big group and we were fully accommodated the entire time. The access to the river was amazing. We had a great time utilizing the entirety of the property. The place was clean when we showed up. The owners communicated everything clearly the entrie time and were super nice. The town was not far away either with it being 20 minutes away roughly. Definitely recommend this cabin for a good time disconnecting with a small or big group.

River vacation

We had a fabulous time in Georgia staying on the Coosewatte. So much to do at the property and in the area. We had three families in the house with a mix of older teens and kids. Everyone had enough space to sleep and have fun! We loved tubing, fishing, and volleyball the most. Great stay!

Great weekend getaway

We rented both lodges for our group. Everything was perfect! We came here last year and enjoyed it so much that we rented the sister cabins again. Sarah and Ian are great hosts, easy to communicate with, and very helpful with any additional questions and requests. We highly recommend Riverstone and Rocky River Lodge.

Wonderful weekend!

Once again we spent a wonderful weekend at Rocky River. It's the perfect place for a group gathering. There's ample space for all to spread out, and also enjoy meal times together. This year the weather wasn't so great but we didn't mind hanging around the well appointed cabin. Sarah and Ian are the perfect hosts and will do everything they can to help with anything that might come up. We keep on coming back every year because it's a perfect fit for our group. I highly recommend Riverstone (and for an even larger group Rocky River and Riverstone) for your next family gathering.

Earle Bachelor trip

Amazed at what a wonderful place. And what a wonderful view It had so many things to do that. The boys were always busy doing something hanging out by the fire playing basketball or ping pong or huddled up inside watching some playoff football.It was just a great trip all around. They had an amazing time. I enjoyed cooking for them and just watching my son. Enjoy time with his friends. Knowing he's about to get married and take a new step in his life. It was a wonderful place to come, and we're truly thankful for the opportunity to be able to stay in your home

Great Place for a Church Retreat

We stayed with a group of our students from church for a summer retreat. There was plenty of space and the property was clean. The river was fantastic as well! Good places to swim right behind the cabin. We also brought tubes and did the 3.5 hour tube trip back to the cabin. The driveway is VERY steep. We had a problem scraping the back of our church van. In the end it was fine. We parked at the bottom of the hill. We would stay again!

Perfect getaway for our family

Our family had an unforgettable stay at the Riverstone cabin over the Holidays! Excellent wifi, which kept everyone connected, and there were plenty of activities to keep us entertained, including games, a pool table, table tennis, and a foosball table. The spacious living area, cozy fireplace, fully-equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds made it easy for us to relax and have fun. Even though it was too cold to enjoy tubing on the river, we had a great time around the outdoor firepit, playing horseshoes, and even shooting some hoops on the basketball court! We also took the opportunity to visit a few stores and enjoy a nice dinner in downtown Ellijay. Sarah and Ian are fantastic hosts. Their efforts in decorating the cabin for the holidays made our trip even more memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and we look forward to returning again!

Beautiful River Front Location

The cabin was very clean & there was plenty of space for our group of 10 people ranging from ages 5-75. The kids enjoyed the basketball goal, badminton net, hot tub and fire pit for s'mores . Good access to the get in the river & appreciated having the tubes, kayaks, & canoes available for our use. Was surprised at how long it took to access the cabin from the main road/gate. We booked a cabin at the river to avoid mountainous roads, so it was disappointing that the drive in the neighborhood had a lot of hills and sharp curves, and that the driveway to the cabin very steep. But the sound of the water rushing in the river was very pleasant once you arrived.

Our souls are at peace after our stay

Painting a mental picture of this property is impossible, and the pictures on the listing truly do not do this location justice! Woke up to deer in the yard every morning while sipping my coffee on the swing. The activities are endless, but kayaking was a favorite for our group! Everything we needed was on the property from tubes, to kayaks, to canoes! You have never felt more at peace than when you are kayaking next to deer and the sounds of the river. We were able to easily cook for our group of 13 and enjoy movie nights together! When it rained the kids enjoyed ping pong, foosball, and pool, also in the home! We WILL most definitely be returning next year!
