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!

The Space
This five-star cabin has it all! It’s recently remodeled and packed with luxury: top-notch hair care products, super comfy bedding, a gourmet kitchen, and more. 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.

Relaxing getaway!

We really enjoyed our getaway to the Rainbow Lodge. The location was very scenic on the river and the property is extremely clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The location is remote enough to have some privacy but convenient to downtown Elijay (just under 20 minutes). The cabin is probably the most well-equipped place we have rented, with ample supplies available and a lot of attention to detail, including coffee and hot cocoa provisions. We appreciated that they provided for our pup as well, including dog bed, bowls, and blankets. Although it rained some during our stay we stayed entertained with air hockey, games, XBox, and comfy media room. The host is very helpful and provides a ton of information. We would certainly rent again!

Beautiful Home in Paradise

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 Getaway!

I didn't want to leave - it was perfect! Cozy, yet plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Hot tub, games, spectacular views, privacy to read a book.....options are endless. We would have been content to have never left to go visit area attractions! The host is amazing - communicates quickly and even left us a local apple pie!

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!

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!

An amazing place.

What a wonderful place to stay. We spent 6 days and had a blast. Instructions and communication were some of the best I've had with VRBO hosts. Quick to answer and quick to remedy any concerns. The river is a fantastic place to relax. We saw so many deer and geese it was like a nature preserve. I am looking forward to staying here or another of Brads properties soon. Great experience.

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.

The. Absolute. Best.

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!

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.

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!
