The Farmhouse- Riverfront, Fiber, HotTub, Fish, DogOK, Game Room, Movie Room

Rainbow Riverside Farmhouse is a breathtaking cabin offering a wonderful feeling of seclusion and privacy along scenic Mountaintown Creek in the private Coosawattee River Resort. Watch as the geese glide into land, browse at the herd of deer grazing in the meadow next door, catch a glimpse of the giant Blue Heron who often visits this tranquil valley. Cool off with a swim in the river. Bring a tube and walk up stream and float your stress away. Experience magic.

The Space
Enjoy all this from a newly remodeled five-star cabin that includes details such as professional hair care products, luxurious bedding and towels, a fully stocked gourmet kitchen, a game room with Air Hockey and Foosball, a movie room with a 75" Smart TV/Sound Bar/DVD/Blu-ray player, two fireplaces(one firepit) to choose from, a wide assortment of board games, poker set, cards, a luxury Bull Frog Hot Tub with lounge seat, 2 king masters with balconies overlooking the river. You simply will not find a nicer cabin in a more idyllic setting.

Guest Access
You will enjoy access to the entire home and nearly 1,000 feet of private riverfront as we own two additional lots and three adjacent homes.

Other things to note
Note that our base rate is for 4 people and that the rate increases $15 per night per each additional Guest up to 8 total Guests or an additional $60 per night. This allows us to offer a more reasonable rate for smaller parties.

PETS- While we do allow a pet, we only allow one dog that is 50 pounds or less and at least 2 years old. We require a Vet Health Certificate confirming the dog's age, weight, and that its vaccinations are current along with a photo of the dog. Note that there is a pet fee of $35/night with a $70 minimum charge per stay.

Now with Fiber Internet!

Please note, while access to the cabin is generally easy(we drive a Hyundai Sonota Hybrid), the last ~1/3 of a mile is on a community maintained gravel road. Parking for up to 3 cars is off-street and there are no stairs to enter the cabin.

Finally, note that our air conditioning and heating system is set to allow for a minimum temperature setting of 72 degrees and maximum temperature of 76 degrees.. Experience has taught us that these temperatures are very comfortable for most Guests and is an important part of our energy conservation program. In the event that a Guest desires a lower or higher setting, we are happy to accommodate this need allowing a setting as low as 68 or 80 degrees for a surcharge of $10/night.

We will be available to help at any time during your stay. We have lived in the area for years and are happy to help in any way we can. From restaurants to activities, our Welcome Book which will be provided covers many details of the area.

Coosawattee River Resort is a gated community that consists of over 5,500 acres. Amenities offered within the community include parks, tennis courts, a rec center with an indoor pool, and more. Note that all these amenities are now included with our $60 Resort Fee for up to 8 adults and unlimited kids! Two Guest Cards are provided at the cabin with each card admitting up to 4 adults to any of the facilities. Any kids must always be accompanied by adults. Please note that Guests are responsible for making certain the cards are returned to the cabin at the end of their stay. Any lost or missing cards will result in a $25 replacement fee.

Great cabin, beautiful location
This cabin was very nice, very clean, and was on a gorgeous spot on the creek. My kids loved to fish and us adults loved to sit in the hot tub listening to the rapids. The host was very easy to communicate with.

Nice property
Fresh remodel on older home, nice lot great view, could use a powerwashing on rear decks, plumbing slow to drain. Temp ac unit helped furniture was kind of worn in living room. But overall was on point for the price range. Lots of long messages from owner and owner was very thoughtful with much added helpful items labels and instructions. The gatehouse personnel could be much more accommodating. The kids enjoyed the place.

Perfect place to do absolutely NOTHING!! Just being outside on the deck listening to the river was so relaxing!! Loved the windows to see the river at all times!! Loved that DoorDash was available when I didn’t feel like cooking! The host was very attentive to your needs. We will be back! Oh…. we didn’t know about all the deer!!

Wonderful property
The cabin is beautiful and thoughtfully furnished with everything you will need (shampoo, air freshener, flashlights, firewood, etc). We loved the sound of the rushing stream outside and all the visiting animals, including deer. The little nook off of the living room was one of our favorite spaces, as it was comfy and offered lovely views of the meadow and the stream.

Spring Break by the River
After searching for the right place for our family, we selected this cabin and it did not disappoint! You can pretty much just bring you and your clothes because the home is equipped with just about everything you can think of. Our family loved fishing from the river, and simply just relaxing on the deck. We had deer Come around us at night and enjoyed the geese during the day always playing in the creek. Neighborhood amenities are nice to have on a down day with kids, but enjoy the winding ride to get to them. Thank you for having us and helping assist with any questions along the way!

Absolutely incredible! Beautiful custom home!
We've stayed at a LOT of properties over the years and this place is one of our top favorites. What a beautifully designed home with lots of custom touches, thoughtful decor and colors, and lots of extra details that make it a truly memorable experience. Clear directions for the technology, high end hot tub, bright interior with big picture window views of the river, SUPER comfy beds, radiant floor heating in the master bath! So many things to say, you just have to experience this place for yourself. We had a relaxing time with friends and needed a quiet retreat to escape the noise of regular life, and this is exactly what we needed. Would definitely come back and stay again!!

Amazing!!
From the moment we pulled up to the house we knew it was going to be something special. The house is beautifully decorated and has everything you could possibly need. The kitchen is well stocked and we absolutely loved the apple pie. The backyard - having the bubbling river right outside was so soothing. Our boys (16,14) and our dog loved playing in the water. We were able to use both the hottub and the fire pit during our stay and both added to our wonderful vacation. The beds were some of the most comfortable we have stayed in. We wished we could have stayed much longer. We loved Ellijay and this awesome home. Brad is an amazing host and responded within minutes every time!

Gorgeous riverfront property
My family booked this beautiful riverfront farmhouse for a summer vacation. The home is directly adjacent to the Coosawattee River, allowing us to escape the heat by playing in the cool water. We would welcome the chance to return in the fall when we could enjoy all the amenities this property offers, including the hot tub and the gorgeous fire pit. This property is very well-stocked and has no shortage of bedrooms or bathrooms and can comfortably sleep several adults. Older children will enjoy the hidden game room. There is also a sleeping porch directly overlooking the river. The most memorable part of our trip was interacting with the very tame deer that roam the property. They will visit you on the back deck and you will view them as your pets before your trip is over. If you are looking for a relaxing mountain getaway suitable for a family, this place fits the bill.

Great Memories
The house was clean and everything labeled so you knew where everything was and where it went. Kids loves feeding the deer and geese. Brad was easy to communicate with and helped when needed. Another great thing is we have ATT and no cell service so we could enjoy our time as a family but the internet is fast and reliable if you need to search for places to go and things to do. If you get the apple pie you better bring a lunch I’ve never seen a pie that big.

Perfect getaway in a heavenly locale
I can't say enough glowing things about this property. The home itself is beautiful with every comfort you could want. But once you hear the soothing sounds of the river outside, you'll likely want to spend most of your time lounging on the ample, comfy deck furniture, just soaking in the setting. I haven't been that relaxed and content in a long time. And Brad is the best host I've ever had the pleasure to work with. His communication style is warm, clear, and above all, he wants to ensure his guests have all the info about the area to make their visit the most fulfilling. The delicious apple pie he left for us to enjoy was so unexpected and appreciated. This place is perfect for any type of getaway - family gathering, friends' trip, couple's anniversary. Book this place. You won't be disappointed. Thank you, Brad!!

We cannot wait to return!
My husband and I typically reserve a luxury hotel suite in the city for our anniversary each year and leave the kids with my in-laws. This year, we decided to do something a little different and spend the weekend in the mountains. My colleague recommended an "amazing place" that she had taken her family and she just could not stop raving about it. She shared the link along with her personal photos and we were so convinced, we booked our anniversary weekend trip, immediately. We didn’t tell the kids where we were going, opting to surprise them instead. The property is a short drive from our home so they weren't in suspense long. When we arrived to the community, they were ecstatic. Although we were a little nervous about driving the winding roads and steep hills, the beauty of the trees and wildlife quickly distracted us. The journey up the mountain was MORE than worth it! The cabin, which sits on the most beautiful stream, is absolute perfection! From the cozy fire pit, to the sprawling deck, multiple patios, carefully appointed furnishings, and thoughtful amenities, we couldn't have asked for more. The hosts have thought of everything with this home. There are multiple seating areas, luscious bedding, games and activities for the entire family, and a relaxing hot tub nestled in the most perfect location. Our host was detailed, extremely responsive, and an all-round NICE guy. He recommended places to eat and things to do in the area which was very helpful. We will be back!

Best Getaway EVER!
Our time spent at Rainbow Riverside Farmhouse was simply amazing! Brad, our host, was extremely accommodating. He was very responsive to our needs. Brad even made sure to give us detailed instructions on how to find the farmhouse with ease which was super helpful. Even still, we were not prepared for the beauty that awaited us when we walked into the house. There is such attention to detail, from the games left for us to play to the pie in the freezer to the keurigs in each room! The view of the river is truly mesmerizing. The "hidden room" just added to the appeal of the cabin. The only complaint we have about out time spent was that it had to end. We definitely plan to book with Brad again!

Perfect for our family
We stayed at The Farmhouse with our family of 5 (2 adults, 1 teenager, 1 8 year old and 1 infant) plus my 2 parents. This house was perfect for us. There was plenty of separate living and sleeping spaces so we had our own places to relax and play. The outdoor spaces are amazing! My kids loved the hammock by the river, the game room (with secret door entrance), and the giant tv for watching movies. Deer came to the yard each morning and evening, many times for up close visits! Everything in this house is planned for a relaxing and wonderful stay! I choose this house for the game room and movie room for our kids. I also choose this house because there are very few steps required to enjoy the outdoor spaces and listen to the creek. My parents are older and it was wonderful to have a place where everyone had access to enjoy the outdoor spaces. I highly recommend this place! One more thing to add… the host, Brad, is one of the best we’ve ever had when staying through A vacation rental company.

Ten Stars!!
My husband and I stayed for our anniversary trip. We wanted peace and quiet time together and that’s what we got. As a Realtor who sees a lot of properties I very much appreciated the design and attention to detail in the floor plan and set up. The decor was perfect too! The amenities and thoughtful details from the nightlights throughout, black makeup towels, even body wash and shampoo in the master shower, and the huge apple pie waiting for us in the freezer- just made us feel right at home and welcomed! I loved sitting on the deck each morning with a hot cup of coffee and big ol’ blanket. The stretch of river is ahhhhmazing!! This would be a great place for a family to stay with plenty of room and entertainment but I will say it is perfect for a couple seeking a quiet retreat as well. We didn’t utilize the upstairs other than one night we watched a movie and the movie room is awesome! My only suggestion would be maybe a wall shelf, or bathtub caddy for the soaking tub but literally THAT is the only thing I could think of and that I might use that isn’t there. Super clean, which is my biggest requirement. No evidence of guests before us left behind. Smelled clean the whole time we were there- not just for a few hours after we arrived. Brad was so helpful and informative and the “information book” he shared was TOP NOTCH! We had a great time! All of my friends wanted to know where we stayed because it was so beautiful but I hate to share our secret! Will definitely return if we are traveling without pets. Thanks Brad for excellent hospitality and sharing this gorgeous home with us!!
