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.

We knew what to expect at this special place for us, was an awesome recharging experience and thank you Mandy and Doug for allowing us your wonderful home . Planning to book a return for sure! house!
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!
Everything about this stay was excellent. The cabin has everything you need, and the river access was perfect. And when you need to venture out of the resort area, both Elijay and Blue Ridge are not far. Would highly recommend this cabin and owners.
What a gem. The house is rural, private* hot tub, waterfront, pets ok, loud river, wildlife, grill, beautiful interior, fire pit, all the little touches to make the stay comfortable. Can easily sleep 10. All you need to bring is your food and toiletries, shampoo, conditioner, soap. It has been well maintained and I highly recommend.
We came to celebrate a few different occasions. It was easy to get to the cabin (for cabin standards) and the cabin felt so cozy! We started each morning on the balcony, listening to the sounds of the river. Lots of deer in the area and
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!
This was our 5th year staying and every year it just gets better. We absolutely love the cabin, the water, the location, and the wildlife. We cant wait to be back next year!
The property is just as advertised. It is very homey and welcoming and beautifully decorated. This is our second stay and we will definitely be booking again. The calming sound of the water is so relaxing...Love It!!!
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!
Wonderful time in the cabin and just as pictured! They even had a huge stash of firewood available for the fire pit, which we enjoyed each night. River front and wonderful hosts. I never had to reach out to them for anything while we were there but knew they were available as needed. Thank you!
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.
My husband and I stayed at this house for a short while last year and absolutely could not wait to return. The house and owners are by far the nicest we have encountered. Everything has been thought out for the maximum enjoyment. and just ease of
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.
