Awesome time!
6 older adults (3 couples) spent 5 days here and we all had a wonderful time! The house was very accommodating and we all had plenty of room. The back deck was very nice to sit and watch the river. Overall experience was very nice!

Our stay was so incredibly nice! The location was perfect! We were right on the river and you could hear the river from the master bedroom (it was so nice to sleep to that sound!). We also loved how you felt so in nature, but only 6 minutes from town so it was super convenient! The owners put so much thought into little details that made us feel welcome immediately (like a little smores kit and Halloween candy (since we showed up right after Halloween so it was super cute)). All of the decorations were so homey and the layout of the house was great! Everything was incredible and definitely made our vacation the best!

The house was great, close to shops, dining and entertainment. The house is on flat land with plenty of parking spaces. The hot tub and the back porch was perfect. Spent every morning and evening out there listening to the river. Would recommend to anyone staying in Elijay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would rent again. The only issue we had was the AC went out on our first night, but it was resolved the next day and we appreciate the prompt response.

Wonderful!
We had a wonderful stay at the river house! The house had everything you could possibly need and more. There were so many special touches around the house and the house has everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed the hot tub, listening to the river and making s'mores at the fire pit. The location is easy to get to and near town! Would definitely return to stay again.

Family fishing trip
The property never disappoints. I have no complaints except the dehumidifier. It was just loud but manageable. Definitely will book again!
