The Rainbow Lodge- Riverfront, Fiber, HotTub, Fish, DogOK, Game Room, Movie Room

Welcome to The Rainbow Lodge
Escape to The Rainbow Lodge, a stunning cabin tucked away in the serene Coosawattee River Resort, right along the beautiful Mountaintown Creek. Enjoy the peace and quiet as you watch geese land, deer graze nearby, and the majestic Blue Heron makes a visit. Cool off with a swim or grab a tube and float your worries away. Pure magic awaits you here!

Dive into fun with a game room featuring Air Hockey and Foosball, or kick back in the movie room with a massive 65" Smart TV. Choose between two cozy fireplaces, the firepit, or relax in the hot tub. With two king master suites that each have a balcony overlooking the river, you won't find a more perfect spot.

Weekend getaway
Over all the property was as presented in listing. The disappointing factor was the hot tub not working properly. We based our search and decision on this amenity and for it to not heat properly was a let down . Honestly I feel there was more than enough communication from management .hope they can get things working before next group arrives.

Great family getaway!
Awesome property, beautiful cabin, ideal family location! We couldn’t have had a better stay with our kids over fall break. There were too many small touches to name, but games and activities for the kids, a beautiful river location, quiet, serene, a nice hot tub, a great fire pit, great windows and views, many different ways to enjoy the property both inside and out! Brad and his team did a wonderful job, and had the clearest communication for any rental we’ve had. We will be back! Easiest 5/5 rating we could give!

We can't say enough wonderful things! Brad is a wonderful host, very responsive to all of our questions before the trip and he made sure that every detail was exactly as it should be once we arrived. The house was very clean, well kept and well stocked with everything we could possibly need. We would love to come back!

Absolutely, 5 stars! 😊
We have been visiting the area as a family a few times each year for the past 6 or 7 years. This was definitely one of our best experiences. The cabin was just as described and included so many “nice touches” it is hard to remember them all. The complimentary apple pie, Keurig coffee stations in the rooms, games, welcome guide, ample linens, and cleaning supplies all made us feel welcome and comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked, and I could not think of anything I needed that was not provided. I am used to needing to bring a few things like measuring cups and storage containers, but I did not need them on this trip. The attention to detail was top notch! We loved the access to the creek, hot tub overlooking the creek, fire pit, and comfortable movie room for the evenings. It was so peaceful to sit on the deck and listen to the creek, watch the geese glide by, or see the deer feeding in the woods. Brad was also very attentive and checked in to make sure everything was going well. We just cannot say enough positive things, and this cabin will be at the top of our list when we have a chance to return!

Magical Stay in Ellijay
Pictures don't do this property justice. We were thoroughly impressed by the location of the cabin, the setup and cleanliness of the cabin and the amenities of the neighborhood. We felt secluded enough without being in the middle of nowhere. Our kids LOVED the river, it's perfect for jumping from rock to rock, fishing and feeding the geese. We enjoyed the firepit every night & the beds were very comfortable! The Keurig in each bedroom was a great touch :) We will definitely be staying again.

The property is beautiful and very well equipped. We had 2 adults and 5 grandkids (6 to 17). The game room, hot tub and river access (and deer) were big hits with all. Brad was very proactive in providing great information about the home. We would recommend this rental (unless steps are a problem). 5 STARS

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Rainbow Lodge. The house overlooked tranquil scenery, with water and fall leaves. It was the perfect weekend full of fire pit chats and friendly deer. The management team made sure we had everything we needed for the stay. They were super accommodating at every turn. Thank you so much for a great time.

Perfect Fall Getaway
The cabin was just perfect! My husband and older son fished, while my younger son jumped rocks and explored in the river. We warmed up in the hot tub, played cards at the round table, played air hockey and foosball and had a blast just being together. The beds were so comfortable and the views out the back were so peaceful. We loved our stay and absolutely recommend of you are looking for an Elijay getaway!

Riverside Fun
Brad is an amazing host. My comment to him before we arrived was that the information provided was pleasantly overwhelming. There are no surprises about the property and what is provided. He is very attentive. The house was exactly what we were looking for…situated right on the river with the ability to swim and enjoy right in front of the property. Our daughter walked up the river numerous times and rafted down. (Be sure to bring rafts if it’s a warm weather visit). We enjoyed fires and story telling in the evenings. We all had a fabulous time! The house does have stairs leading down to the entrance but it wasn’t a deterrent for us. We had a set of grandparents and a dog. The beds were comfy; kitchen well equipped; nice views; and good layout for a family. We had a challenge getting into the property but Brad owned it and made it good. If you want a riverside getaway in a cute little town like Ellijay, this property and location are great. We look forward to booking the property again!

We loved everything about this property. The house was the perfect size and was perfectly equipped with everything we needed. The listing description of “lots of steps” is accurate…you will walk up and down lots of them, but it was totally worth it to us. We felt like the location at the bottom of the hill is part of what made it so private. The hosts were amazing - so responsive, friendly, and helpful. If we have a chance we will most definitely stay here again. LOVED IT!

Beautiful Spot to Relax
Beautiful location not too far from Atlanta but far enough to have a relaxing weekend getaway. The host, Brad, is on top of it! He communicates well before and during your stay. No details were left out. Great views for the adults to sit and relax, and fun games and activities for the kids to keep them busy in the bottom level the entire weekend. The 2 flights of stairs to and from the house were not that bad. I only got huffs and puffs when it was time to take the load back to the car to load up when we were leaving. The overall layout of the lot is very well done and easy to walk around and enjoy. As a group of 8, we had plenty of room to separate or come together when we wanted. It was just what we were looking for after the busy holidays and new year planning. Great experience overall!

Really enjoyed this place. We’ve come to mountains for several years now and we prefer to be on the water. There were deer everywhere which the kids loved. This place was so cozy. Beds were so comfortable. Kitchen was stocked. All the amenities…creek, wildlife, keurigs in every room stocked with coffee, game run, big tvs in every room, porches at every angle of the cabin, multiple fire places. It was just the perfect get away for my family. Brad is super attentive and so nice. I only prefer to rent from actual owners v companies. We try not to bother while we are away unless needed but I know he would’ve been more then happy to assist in a second should something have come up. Thank you so much!

Our best cabin experience ever!
What a beautiful setting! We had always chosen a cabin with a higher elevation and a view of the mountains. I decided on this cabin simply because it offered 2 masters with king beds. Well that was just the beginning. Anything we thought we might need was already there! We just loved the Keurig coffee makers all over the cabin and the plentiful supply of coffee, cream and sweeteners. Add to this the most amazing apple pie I have ever eaten! The cabin is simply gorgeous and the view out the window made my soul sing. Thank you, Brad, for a most relaxing visit. Would really like to return!
