About this property

Riverstone: Amenity-Packed, Riverfront Retreat, 8-Person Hot Tub/Sport Court.

Georgia Riverstone Lodge is your dream Georgia cabin (along with our sister Lodge "Rocky River" (VRBO #701904)) waiting for a memorable vacation in the beautiful North Georgia Mountains near the quaint town of Ellijay. Our upscale cabin is located in the beautiful gated river community of Coosawattee River Resort situated directly on the river where we provide you canoes, kayaks, and tubes for your river adventure!

The cabin is outfitted with a large outdoor seven person hot tub, a game room with pool, foosball, and ping pong, and canoes and tubes for use. There are three spacious bedrooms that easily sleep 20 people, each with their own bathroom. Come and relax, you’ll never have to leave with all the amenities provided! Find out for yourself what our many loyal repeat guests have discovered about our North Georgia Mountain first-class lodge style cabin, maintained with loving care, that provide the ultimate relaxing environment for escaping the hustle and bustle of city life.

Come spend a weekend or longer in our cabin and feel the cares of everyday life slip away. Riverstone Lodge is located on the Coosawattee River and has a tree lined view. You can hear the sound of the rushing water echoing up from the river. Ellijay, Ga. is an easy, scenic 60-minute drive north of Atlanta by freeway and four-lane parkway.

Our cabin is available for rental year-round. Each season has its own unique beauty: dogwoods, mountain laurel, and rhododendron in the spring; the deep blue river with white accents, dark greens of the trees in the summer; a vast sea of hardwoods that are on fire with color in the fall; and, if you're lucky, a white blanket of snow in the winter. Click on the Availability Calendars to see which dates are open. Click on the Contact Us button to book the cabin or to get more information.

The Coosawattee River Resort community is packed with wildlife. Deer, turkey, ducks, and countless other forms of wildlife are destined to be observed on a long walk or drive through the mountain complex. Shopping, dining, golf, and antiquing are all minutes away tucked away in the charming downtown Ellijay.

Beautiful Riverfront Family Vacay

All the family loved the property. The house is set up great to sleep everyone. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Having three bathrooms-one on each floor- makes it convenient for everyone. The refrigerator is large and very clean-freezer keeps ice cream perfectly. River access is relatively easy with only a few steps or ramp and a very short distance to the river. Kids enjoyed the basketball court also. The hot tup was always used after playing and exploring in the river to warm up. Having tubes and kayaks available on the property was such a great asset - we followed the owners advice and tubed many times from the bridge to the house. Loved seeing all the deer in our trips in and out of the property. Even though the property is located in a "gated neighborhood" you never felt like it when you at the property - very secluded. Even the gentleman picking up the trash was so friendly and timely. All the family enjoyed property - great memories for 2019!

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.

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!

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 Location and Excellent Option for a Large Group

We booked this cabin for our annual retreat, and it couldn’t have been more accommodating! We chose it mainly for its location and excellent reviews, and it truly was perfect for our group of 11. The hosts, Sarah and Ian, were wonderful - providing clear check-in and check-out instructions and detailed directions before arrival. Although we didn’t run into any issues, they were just a phone call away, ready to help if needed. The cabin sits right on the river within a safe, beautiful gated community. We saw a tons of wildlife on the drive in and drive out. It was convenient to have grocery stores and a variety of restaurants (both local and chain) within a short 5-7 mile drive. The cabin had everything we needed, from cookware to linens and towels. For entertainment, there was a pool table, ping pong, board games, horseshoes, and even a basketball court! We also enjoyed the outdoor hot tub, fire pit, and ample outdoor seating. The sound of the river was incredibly relaxing. Though cell service was limited, the wifi was excellent. With all of us using phones, tablets, and/or laptops, we could still stream events on the TV - with zero interruptions or problems. This retreat gave our group a much-needed break from daily life, allowing us to reconnect and enjoy each other's company. Huge thanks to Sarah and Ian for sharing their beautiful cabin. We highly recommend this property, and look forward to returning!

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.

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!

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!

Host profile image
Hi, my name is Sarah Hamilton. Our family recently purchased a cabin in Ellijay, Georgia, a beautiful town located in the North Georgia mountains. We as a family have been upgrading and cleaning the cabin to make it the best cabin around. Living only an hour and a half from the cabin really comes in handy for quick trips up both for work and pleasure.

Why they chose this property

Our cabin is located in the gated community of Coosawatte River Resort, this allows for a safe and enjoyable environmentThe cabin itself is located on a wide river with many beautiful rapids, which allows for fun kayaking, canoe and tube trips. Along with a beautiful river view, there are amazing mountain views!

What makes this property unique

This cabin has a multitude of unique benefits offered. They include: canoes and tubes, a basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard and horse shoe court, a seven person hot tub, three spacious bedrooms each with a full bath, two living rooms, a game room with Foosball, ping pong and pool, and high definition flat screen televisions.

We also supply Tubes, Kayaks and Canoes and life jackets for your use for your stay with us so you can enjoy the most out of our river! Many renter go and get put in up the river at one of the parks and float back down to our back yard! Or you can just hang and play right in the back yard!

On top of that, we have another "sister cabin" owned and operated by the same people. If you are looking to have a larger gathering , book both of our properties easily.
