About this property
The Rainbow Lodge- Riverfront, Fiber, HotTub, Fish, DogOK, Game Room, Movie Room
Welcome to The Rainbow Lodge
Escape to The Rainbow Lodge, a stunning cabin tucked away in the serene Coosawattee River Resort, right along the beautiful Mountaintown Creek. Enjoy the peace and quiet as you watch geese land, deer graze nearby, and the majestic Blue Heron makes a visit. Cool off with a swim or grab a tube and float your worries away. Pure magic awaits you here!
The Space
This five-star cabin has it all! It’s recently remodeled and packed with luxury: top-notch hair care products, super comfy bedding, a gourmet kitchen, and more. Dive into fun with a game room featuring Air Hockey and Foosball, or kick back in the movie room with a massive 65" Smart TV. Choose between two cozy fireplaces, the firepit, or relax in the hot tub. With two king master suites that each have a balcony overlooking the river, you won't find a more perfect spot.
Guest Access
You’ll have full access to the entire home, plus nearly 1,000 feet of private riverfront as we own additional lots and homes nearby.
Other Things to Note
-Rates: Base rate covers 4 guests. Each extra guest (up to 8 total) adds $15 per night.
-Pets: We allow one dog (50 lbs max, 2+ years old) with a vet certificate and photo. A
$35/night pet fee applies with a $70 minimum.
-Internet: Enjoy lightning-fast fiber internet!
-Getting Here: The last stretch ~1/3 of a mile is a gravel road, but any 2 wheel drive car
will be fine. On-street parking for up to 3 cars is available with multiple stairs down to
the entry of the cabin.
-Climate Control: AC/Heat limits are preset to 72/76°F. Adjustments to 68/80°F can be
made for an additional $10/night.
-Support: We’re local and available anytime during your stay. Our Welcome Book has all
the insider tips for the area.
Resort Amenities
Coosawattee River Resort offers tons of fun with pools, tennis courts, a rec center, and more—all included with a $60 Resort Fee for up to 8 adults (kids are free). Don’t forget to return the Guest Cards at the end of your stay to avoid a replacement fee.
Nearby Attractions
-Downtown Ellijay (6 miles): Festivals, great eats, and unique shops.
-Family Fun: Orchards, museums, and scenic railway adventures within 30 miles.
-Outdoor Adventures: National parks, lakes, waterfalls, and more are just a short drive

About the host
Hosted by Brad Bruckman
I come from the hospitality industry with over 30 years hosting Guests in various capacities. I fell in love with Ellijay and the North GA Mountains and purchased a home here in 2015. I decided that I wanted to continue my hospitality career via sharing this lovely place with others. No big management company here, Guests work directly with me as the owner and I promise you will be well taken care of. I look forward to hosting you soon.
Why they chose this property
What past Guests say is what is most important:
"Our family of four (me, my husband, 8 year old and 6 year old children) had such a wonderful time at this property!!! It’s by far the cleanest VRBO we’ve ever stayed in and the amenities were amazing! So grateful for a place that has hand soap at every sink! Brad was so kind to bring us an apple pie to welcome us-and was so attentive throughout our stay! The river was perfect for our kids to “fish” and we used the fire pit every night for family time! Air hockey was also a huge hit!!! We enjoyed horseback riding in nearby Mineral Bluff, hiking to see the rock fire tower, antiquing, eating at The Pink Pig and visiting the local animal rescue-“Build an ark animal rescue”. We saw about 50 deer throughout our stay within the neighborhood! It was a perfect stay and we plan to visit again during warmer months! Thanks Brad!!!"
"This cabin (and owner) are amazing! It’s truly the cleanest cabin, with the best beds and linens. It has literally everything you need from Coffee makers, Kueregs, pots and pans, bathroom necessities, and so much more. Nothing is done cheaply. If we don’t buy our own ellijay cabin, we will definitely be back!!"
"Perfect fall get away! After months of quarantine and then homeschool we all really look forward to this fall getaway, and Brad’s place was perfection, everything you need is at this house, Theres activities outside and tons to do inside, but most importantly it’s quiet and peaceful he’s done a beautiful job with this house"
"A Wonderful Place! We absolutely loved staying here. RR Lodge is private, quiet, peaceful and the sound of the river was so relaxing. Kitchen was well stocked and bedrooms were so comfortable. The kids loved downstairs and everything it had to offer. We played in the river, enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit daily. Brad is a great host! So easy to work with and very accommodating. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Can't wait for our next visit!"
