Description

Lazy days await at Harley’s River Retreat, a cozy log cabin tucked among the trees of beautiful Ellijay, Georgia. Located within the Coosawattee River Resort, this North Georgia charmer keeps you close to the Coosawattee River and the many wonderful outdoor adventures in the area. At this creekside Ellijay cabin, enjoy comfortable interiors, modern amenities, an outdoor firepit, a fully equipped kitchen, and more!

Start your day with a cup of coffee and a hearty breakfast in the full kitchen at this Blue Ridge Mountain cabin rental. There’s a nice wood table in the dining area nearby, perfect for meals, board games, and puzzles on rainy days. The living room features a beautiful stone fireplace that stretches to the ceiling, a big screen TV, and plenty of comfortable seating around the room. 

Outside, unwind on the covered porch with a fireplace, have a meal at the outdoor table, soak away stresses in the bubbling hot tub, or gather around the firepit for late-night chats and s’mores. This pet-friendly cabin in North Georgia even has a fenced dog run where your furry friend can stretch their legs! And there’s a creek running through the property, adding peaceful water views to your Ellijay cabin rental.

Harley’s River Retreat has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and space to sleep up to 4 guests — great for a fun family vacation, a couple’s weekend, or a laid-back getaway with friends.

Living Room
Kick back and relax on the reclining sofas and chairs in the inviting living room at your cozy cabin in Ellijay. Stacked stones reach from floor to ceiling, framing a beautiful wood-burning fireplace, ideal for coffee, wine, cider, or cocoa sips in fall or winter. Not to mention, a crackling fire is the perfect addition for a romantic Valentine’s Day in North Georgia. Wooded views peer through the windows, offering serenity in your hideaway. And there’s a big screen TV for entertainment whenever you like!

Kitchen
Hungry or thirsty? Having a fully equipped kitchen on your North Georgia vacation sure comes in handy! At your Ellijay vacation rental by a creek, the nook kitchen features a window over the sink, stainless steel appliances, and a standard drip coffeemaker. Pots, pans, plates, bowls, glasses, mugs, cutlery, and cooking utensils are also provided. Whip up a feast of favorite recipes, reheat leftovers to save cash on your mountain retreat, and grab drinks as needed.

Dining Area
Whether you decide to cook dishes or bring back takeout from Appalachian restaurants in Ellijay, the dining area at your North Georgia cabin rental is a wonderful place to enjoy mealtimes together. Sitting right next to the kitchen, you can grab seconds, refills, or dessert in seconds. And you can enjoy tree-studded views with every bite. Plus this sprawling table has plenty of space to make arts and crafts, put puzzles together, or play board games on your Ellijay getaway!

Bedrooms
When it’s time to rest and recharge for the night, this 1-bedroom cabin with a loft in the North Georgia mountains offers accommodations for up to 4 guests — with 2 king-size beds. Each sleeping space has its own TV and ceiling fan for added comfort. Among the 2 full bathrooms, there is a shower/tub combo in case you want to run a bubble bath plus a walk-in shower for steamy evenings. 

Outdoor Spaces
Take in the drifting winter snowflakes, vibrant spring wildflowers, lush summer greenery, and gorgeous fall colors of North Georgia at your log cabin in Ellijay! The many outdoor spaces invite you to spend time reconnecting with loved ones and nature. There’s even a flowing creek on the property, a wonderful sight while enjoying meals on the open deck or soaking muscles in the covered hot tub. 

A covered wraparound deck offers more space to enjoy the great outdoors, rain or shine! The lounge has a wood-burning fireplace, where you can sip drinks, chat for a while, or finally read that book you’ve been waiting to release. There’s a gas grill for barbecues with family or friends. A fenced dog run gives your pups a place to walk around off leash. And there’s a firepit for story swaps while roasting marshmallows or hot dogs!

Psst…you can also take a short walk to a secret spot — a picnic area by a beautiful body of water just a stone’s throw from the end of the driveway at Harley’s River Retreat.

To note for travel, the driveway and parking are paved. And there’s a paved walkway that leads to the front porch, with only 2 steps up to make unpacking and packing the cars a whole lot easier.

Other Amenities

This was our second time staying at Harley’s River Retreat and we had just as nice of a time as the first. The cabin is nicely appointed, cozy and comfortable and has everything you need, including daily sightings of deer on the property. Highly recommended. We will be back.

Excited to Return for Another Stay!
