This was our second stay at Rocky River Lodge, and it was every bit as wonderful as the first! We rented both cabins with my side of the family and had such an amazing time together. The setting is just perfect—nestled in the mountains and right on the river. We spent our days canoeing, kayaking, and tubing, and our evenings roasting s’mores around the fire and laughing together under the stars.It’s such a special place for making family memories, and we’re already talking about when we can come back again. Everything was clean, cozy, and beautifully maintained, and the owners clearly put a lot of care into making it a welcoming getaway. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful and fun mountain escape!

This place is beyond fantastic! The view of the water is unbelievable, the place on the creek to swim and tube is terrific, and there are loads of activities. This is a gem of place to stay!Literally the only downside I can think of was that we couldn’t figure out how to get good old fashioned cable on any of the TV’s. There were like 900 bizarre channels but the classic cable TV package could not be found, so trying to watch playoff baseball and football required a laptop and an HDMI cord.That’s literally the only low note I’ve got - I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful time here! The basketball court, volleyball net, ping pong table and foosball kept the kids busy. The house was close enough to Ellijay's cute little town with great restaurants. We loved seeing all the deer around!
