About This Home

Welcome to your own slice of riverfront paradise on the beautiful Cartecay River! Nestled in a charming cabin community just 5 min from downtown Ellijay, this fully furnished rustic retreat blends timeless mountain charm with thoughtful updates. Whether you're looking for a personal getaway or an established short-term rental, this property is ready to enjoy from day one. The setting is what truly makes this cabin special. Situated on one of the Cartecay River's most sought-after stretches, you can launch your tube or kayak from your own private river access and float one of the area's most scenic sections; or put in upstream enjoy an approximately two-hour float ending at your property. With private stairs to the water, a riverside fishing deck, and river frontage that's nearly impossible to replicate today, this is a rare opportunity. Inside, you'll find warm rustic character with an open-concept kitchen dining area, a cozy wood-burning stove, and walls of windows in the living area showcasing spectacular river views. The main level features a primary bedroom, laundry room, and beautifully renovated full bath, while the upstairs loft offers additional sleeping space with a half bath. Outdoor living is just as inviting with a wraparound porch, an oversized screened porch overlooking the river, and a fire pit for evenings under the stars. The cabin has been recently renovated, including a new roof and HVAC system in 2025, plus additional interior updates throughout. For investors, the work has already been done. The cabin has been updated to meet Gilmer County short-term rental requirements. Tucked away in a quaint community of neighboring cabins, you'll enjoy the charm of a mountain retreat with a welcoming atmosphere while still feeling immersed in nature. Opportunities to own this close to the Cartecay River are becoming increasingly rare—don't miss your chance to own one of Ellijay's most unique riverfront cabins.
