Fabulous property
The property is beautiful and has so many amenities! We came up for a long weekend for my husband’s birthday with both of our grown kids, their spouses and our 2 month old grandson. I was so excited to find a cabin with 3 king size beds, one for each couple! We will definitely be back!!

Incredible! Highly recommend!
I can’t say enough good things about our stay. The cabin was clean, spacious, and perfect for our group of 7 (with room for more if needed!) check in was seamless, the property was beautiful. Being secluded with river access but only 10 minutes away from downtown Ellijay, the location was incredible. Would definitely stay here again, what a perfect place for our long weekend!

The house and view are STUNNING. We had a small team/work retreat and the space was perfect- room for folks to spread out or come together. We’ve already recommended it to several other friends and colleagues.

Nice for a quick getaway
We enjoyed the hot tub, games in the game room, and access to the river(even though it was not the right season). This would be an amazing spot to kayak or float down to and take out since it is located just below Blackberry Falls.

Beautiful cabin
We loved our stay! Beautiful cabin!Everyone enjoyed the game room.. steps leading from cabin to water were somewhat steep, we all managed fine, but would be difficult for elderly. Also, we would have enjoyed getting in the water, but too much of an embankment. Loved seeing all the deer & their fawns!!

Family Thanksgiving Getaway!!
Our family went and each of us had our own privacy if needed. The grand children had so much fun in the hot tub while we sat by the fireplace close by. I would highly recommend this place. Matter of fact, that is what my family said too. We saw deer every morning and late afternoon and hearing the water flow from the stream was relaxing. Super nice Thanksgiving time.

Wonderful Weekend!!
Stayed at this incredible cabin for a long weekend - there were 8 of us (our adult children with spouses) - just can't say enough about this cabin and the time we had. Everything from the initial communication with Jonathan through leaving the cabin at the end of our stay was extremely easy. Highlights - the firepit next to the river, the hot tub, the outside fireplace, kitchen (+ outside grill), the expanse of the cabin, bedrooms and bathrooms - all were fabulous and made our time together very special and memorable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

A long weekend get away
We stayed at this property Thursday through Sunday. The cabin is beautiful. The beds were surprisingly comfuly. Kitchen was stocked well! Had fun with the pool table and ping pong too! Beautiful property right on the river. Even has tubes for tubing . Relaxed in the hot tub in the evening. Close to town. Saw deer playing in the yard. Was everything we hoped for and more! Will definitely be back for fishing when it's colder.

Mixed Emotions
Very nice home and location. Property needed mowing, bed linens were very dirty and needed washing. Fire pit not cleaned out. No safe access to river. Feel if there's a cleaning crew, they aren't doing the job, nor communicating with owner. Owner needs more "hands-on" with property.

Nice blend of relaxation and adventure
Our family had a very relaxing stay at Branches by the Cartecay. We were needing a break from a busy life at home and this cabin was just the ticket. We love the outdoors so the wooded private lot was just what we were looking for. We enjoyed waking up late and sitting in the front room drinking coffee and planning our days. The Keurig is a nice touch. Part of our relaxation was the river. We love adventure and so after a day of research and studying maps we determined that we could put our inflatable kayak and tubes in up river at the intersection of Lower Cartecay Road and the river itself. This would allow us to spend about 3 hours floating back to the cabin . There are many excellent rapids and the water is beautiful. It made for a great float trip. We did it 3 of our 7 days at the cabin. The close proximity to Ellijay’s many orchards and nice downtown made the location even more appealing to us. Our family gives the cabin a resounding thumbs up!

Amazing weekend trip!
We had a great time staying here, although the night before we headed up to Ellijay there was a storm that came through and nocked out all the power, the host Johnathan kept us updated on everything and made sure we were all set for our stay. There were definitely some upgrades around the house we would recommend like the main floor bathroom toilet seat was broken and the house had some cobwebs like no one had been through in a bit. The back yard on the way down to the river was VERY steep, my mother with feet problems was only able to stay on the stairs and couldn't go further due to how steep and rocky the trail down the fire pit was. You also couldn't get into the water very easily, we didn't get in because we knew we couldn't have gotten back up. Overall the stay was amazing, we loved playing pool and ping pong downstairs and relaxing in the hot tub!

Beautiful clean and large cabin!
Our trip to this large and clean cabin was great from the beginning prior to check in. The property owner Jonathan was great. He called personally prior to check in to see if we had any Questions or accommodations needs. The cabin was clean and able to accommodate my family. Access to the cabin was easy, all paved roads. The view of the river was great. I would definitely come back with my family again!

Just what we were looking for.
We were there to unwind and that’s what we did. There was enough room for everyone to have their own space and also room to all gather and enjoy each other’s company. Plenty of hiking trails that didn’t require having to drive and close enough to town that it wasn’t a chore to go grocery shopping.

Best weekend getaway we’ve had since COVID
This mountain house was SUPERB and perhaps one of the best weekends my friends, family and I have had in a long time. We took a risk on this property since there weren’t many reviews but it was perfect. We had a group of 7 people, including 2 teenagers who made the short drive from midtown Atlanta for a getaway and our expectations were definitely exceeded. The house was super clean, sits perched off the main road which makes it very private too. Our favorite part was the hot tub overlooking a perfect view of the river (just in the backyard!!) We spent hours there watching the tubers float by. It was a bit later in the day on Saturday so we didn’t use the fire pit but it sits right on the river. Super cute. We took advantage of how close the house was to downtown Ellijay for dinner one night (only about 10 mins) while the teens stayed back and played in the downstairs game room most evenings. And each night we slept beautifully. The beds were all super comfy and I believe there was climate control on each floor, which was convenient for those that like sleeping hot versus cold. Towels and toiletries were also fully equipped. This place is perfect for a group of friends and families. We’ll definitely be back!
