Guest Comments: 'Shady River Retreat was a pleasant surprise to me and my family. Booking over the internet was a bit daunting, as we had never actually been to or seen this cabin other than via internet. However, the owner was just as helpful and pleasant as she could be! When we arrived at the cabin, it was just as the pictures depicted. The view of the river was fabulous and my children absolutely loved wading and splashing around in the water. The pool table was another hit with all of us. There were several activities close by that we really enjoyed-picking apples at BJ Reece's (the fried pies are heaven), riding the Blue Ridge Railway, golf, picnicking at Amicolola Falls, but we had just as much fun hanging around the cabin. The hammock was peaceful, and many hours were spent on the porch swing, talking and laughing. We also spotted about 12 deer and 6 turkey. Everything we needed was provided in the cabin, so we never had to made trips to town for anything-other than food. I knew it had been a

Our Family Vacation

Grammy and Poppy Florida
Review Submitted: June 22, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Thank you Jennifer and Lonnie for opening up your cabin for our fabulous family vacation!! This was such a relaxing time where we could all reconnect with each other. Our two sons, their wives and our three little grandchildren - Noah 5 1/2 years, Brannon almost 5 years and Natalie almost 3 years old really enjoyed the river. Tubing was such an adventure and wading/playing in the cool water was refreshing. We enjoyed walking and exploring and took tons of pictures. We loved the camp fire and making s'mores. One day was spent riding the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway but otherwise we did not feel the need to go anywhere else. There were plenty of games at the cabin but would recommend bringing additional paper supplies and your own body wash/soap. Stocking up before you settle in is best because you won't want to leave!
Owner's Response: We are so happy you all enjoyed your stay. I hope you guys left with many happy memories for years to come!

Just a short note to let you know we really enjoyed our vacation at the cabin. The Smores were a nice surprise especially since my granddaughter asked me on the way there if I remembered to bring marshmallows. The water was a very nice surprise. Your pictures do not show how beautiful it really is. Guest 2009

Review Submitted: September 9, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We rented your cabin for Labor Day weekend with some friends. We had a wonderful time. Once you get to the cabin, you dont want to leave for anything. It is so peaceful! The owners are very friendly and easy to work with. We will definitely be back! Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Girl Scout visit

Rameg Acworth, GA
Review Submitted: March 12, 2008 Date of Stay: February 2008
Our Girl Scout troop (13 year olds) stayed recently at the Shady River Retreat and had a wonderful time. The cabin was comfortable and clean, with plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen was stocked with all the cooking equipment we needed. Rafts and life jackets were available for floating in the river. It's right on the river, beautiful scenery. The amenities area was a short drive and had a large indoor/outdoor pool - real treat for swimming in February! We had such a great time, we're planning to go back soon. Don't try to use GPS to get there - the directions from the owner are perfect.

Hidden Gem in Ellijay

Aimee DeAnne Brandon, MS
Review Submitted: January 22, 2008 Date of Stay: January 2008
Words cannot describe the amazing time we had in your beautiful cabin in Ellijay! Your photos DO NOT do it justice! Much more modern and less rustic than we expected! We were so blessed to happen on this last minute rental for the long MLK weekend! Clean, cozy, warm, spacious and adorable are just the beginning! Once in the gates of the resort, it was like no resort I had ever experienced. The curvy scenic dive was beautiful, peaceful, and just plain gorgeous. Deer and wildlife abound! Not to mention, we were blessed to be there on the rare occasion on which it snowed. Littering the branches and ground for days, was beautiful dazzling snow and ice sickles. Ellijay is a hidden gem! And the river was so beautiful! What a spectacular view! We hope to come back again when it is warm so we can explore the waters of Coosawattee River and tube down it’s current. The kids loved it and are begging to come back with friends. It was a great sign when they didn’t want to leave the entire weekend! We took a nature walk and happened on our new collection of sparkling petrified wood that now adorns my hearth (arranged by the kids). And the blankets provided were so furry and comfortable, the kids want new ones for lounging at home. The pool table and hot tub deserves recognition as well. Fun! Fun! What a great trip for family or a girl’s weekend. Although they say it sleeps nine, it really is laid out for even more guests. I would (and will) highly recommend it to anyone! The Elwoods were really nice to work with and made me feel so comfortable renting. Make sure you get their directions or you are sure to get lost. The hills and dips and turns kept confusing the GPS system. Be sure to stop at Wal-Mart on your way in – you won’t want to get back out. And don’t forget your sweetener for the coffee. Thank you HomeAway for making it so easy to find them! Cheers until next time in Ellijay!
Owner's Response: Aimee,

Thank you so much for the kind review. It was wonderful to meet you through email and I hope you have an opportunity to come back when it warms up! Next time, the Starbucks is on us! We've been so happy that HomeAway has connected us with such great guests who help us maintain our cabin.

Sincerely,

Jennifer
