River View From 4 decks-family and pet friendly-hot tub and privacy

Tons of activities and beauty directly on Mountain Towne Creek
Welcome to Rippling Waters in Cooswattee River Resort. This is the place for fun, solitude, games, kids, furry family members, fishing, tubing and amazing memories.

Ellijay is home to the famous apple festival every fall, and you have easy access to other North Georgia towns, festivals, and vineyards in Jasper, Blue Ridge, and Talking Rock

4 Bedroom/3 Bath all wood cabin. Positioned at the end of a cul de sac at the bend of the beautiful Mountain Towne creek, in the quaint town of Ellijay, home of Ellijay's famous October Applefest, and close to Jasper’s October Marble Festival.

This cabin is a family and pet friendly setting for puppies, kids, teenagers, parents and grandparents alike. From river views to indoor and outdoor games, hot tub and fireplace, we are not fancy but we are set up for relaxation and fun.

Take a walk down our path (bring good walking shoes as it is a bit steep in places) down to the river. The path is winding and can be a bit challenging (be careful if it has been raining), but so worth it when you get to the beautiful flowing waters of the trout stocked river. There is a small path that goes a little way in each direction for some nice time in nature. Several benches line the path down from the cabin to the river for those who need to stop and have a break along the way.

If the path down to the river isn't for you, enjoy the firepit behind the house up behind the driveway. It is a bit tucked away within the trees which gives some privacy. There are various seating options available there.

If you'd rather stay with the creature comforts of home, you'll find plenty of space for your family and friends to spread out and relax. With balconies located on each level, everyone can find a spot to take in the mountain and river views while listening to the river and birds chirping. Enjoy a cup of coffee outside in the mornings and you'll likely spot the deer as they go by or see the geese flying past. On the front porch play a round of giant jenga or corn hole. Internet will allow streaming of several devices at once possible anywhere in the house.

Up in the loft for games galore! Countless board games, chess, cards, arcade size air hockey table, and foosball. We often cannot get visiting children out of the game room for lunch :) New foosball table put in August 2023.

Living room has a movie projector and screen with ROKU. Stream AMAZON, NETFLIX and several additional channels allowing for a movie or game night on a 12 foot screen!.Tucked in the sunroom, we also have SKEEBALL. Pop movie style popcorn in the popcorn maker.

Head to the lower level for darts and billiards. There also two yoga mats for those who want to practice, as well as some light weights.

Venture out the doors to the outside deck for river views while grilling on the gas grill or lounging in the hot tub.

Rippling Waters wants your furry family friends to enjoy their stay as well. Secured locking gate on the large front porch, secure railed decks off the bedrooms and gate on lower deck allows your dog to enjoy every level without fear. If your furry friend likes the security of a crate, we have a large wire one, a medium wire one, and a small one available for use in the sunroom.

Although the cabin has everything your group could need to entertain yourselves and have fun, there is the added bonus of access to resort amenities including a gym, 2 outdoor pools, one indoor heated pool with rec center and fitness gym, 4 riverfront parks great for fishing, grilling and tubing with bathhouses, tennis courts, basketball court & a stocked trout pond and a dog park by the gorgeous swinging bridge. Please refer to mycrra.com/lifestyle/amenities/ for detailed information on all the resort amenities. We provide one card that allows 4 guests unlimited access to the amenities (located in the binder on the table) for guests as a perk. If you need more than one card, please let us know. We can provide a second card for four additional people.

Cabin has 4 bedrooms on 3 levels

1 King bed with private river view, Large screen TV with cable and DVD and an attached master bath.

Main level bedroom has a Queen bed with private river view deck, Separate bathroom on same level with bathtub/shower.

Main level also includes queen pull out couch and trundle bed in sun room with two twin mattresses.

Lower level bedroom off game room has full size bed and attached private bathroom with bathtub/shower.

Lower level bedroom off of staircase has a queen sized bed and direct access to lower level deck with hot tub.

Game room has twin size futon sleeper chair

Whether you come in the Summer for the tubing, whitewater rafting or Ziplining; Fall for Applefest, the famous Bigfoot museum, stunning changing of the leaves or outdoor music within the community; Spring for the flowers, wineries and fishing or Winter for Hot Tub, Snow and fireplace, there's something to offer all year long. Deer wander through the property year round- Free of charge ;-) Countless waterfalls and hikes close by.

****This is a pet friendly home so feel free to bring your furry family member with you. Dogs and cats have been inside on a regular basis so those with severe allergies should be advised. The fee is per pet, so please indicate number of pets when booking for accurate deposit and adjustment if necessary. VRBO does not let you insert how many pets so we need to adjust rate manually on our end if you are bringing more than one pet. HOWEVER, please NO PETS on BEDS (including the trundle bed in sunroom) and clean up after any messes.****

***This is a 100% Smoke Free house***

***The cancellation policy is strictly adhered to**

We therefore highly recommend purchasing traveler protection plans that cover if you cancel your trip due to sickness, injury, flight cancellations, mandatory evacuation and job loss.

Additional Services include Consult A Doctor™, 24-Hour Emergency Assistance, and Concierge Services. I highly recommend these additional coverage options.rain

Quiet Cabin & Whispering Waters
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful cabin! The cabin itself was comfortable and well stocked, and when outside on the decks you could hear the soft sounds of the creek below. The creek was a bit too shallow for us to fish in, but if we had fly-fishing gear we might have done a bit better. Just be ready for the trek down to the creek - it can be challenging! We were surprised by the number of houses/cabin around us, but we never heard anyone (save an occasional circular saw the first day). Staying at "Rippling Waters" was a very restful vacation - just what we wanted!

Family friendly
Lots to like about this cabin! Our young adults enjoyed tubing in the river and playing the games and board games. We enjoyed the fire pit. The kitchen is well stocked. The directions were very easy to follow to find the cabin in the dark and the host communication was timely and helpful. The cabin was clean and the shower water pressure was very good!! Although we didn't need it, I noticed a top latch (child safety) on the door from the main level to the basement staircase and a gate was provided in one of the closets for the upper level staircase. The gas grill is located on the basement level deck and requires that the cook take a set of stairs from the kitchen. The furniture is not in the best of shape (handles missing from dressers, top board missing from one of the basement dressers, one of the couches not enough support) (living room furniture does not match photo exactly). Beds were comfortable. The bedroom in the basement with the attached bath does not have a door that closes. It has a sliding door which does not seal out light and noise and also has a 3" diameter hole (maybe a previous door knob) which doesn't give complete privacy. Maybe OK for youngsters. There was one towel and wash cloth per person. There were no kitchen towels/dish cloths (a sponge scrubber and dish soap provided). Lots of deer in the neighborhood. Our family of 7 (ages 17 to 65) enjoyed our stay in July!

Clarke Family vacation 2023
This house is perfect for a family with kids of all ages. The sunroom off of the living room was a great place to set up a play area for our 3 toddlers. They had their own space within view of the living room and kitchen. The river is nice to look at with views from every deck but not accessible for the little kids. We enjoyed the parks and pool. All the amenities are within the neighborhood within a short drive. The binder was so helpful with directions to anything we needed. Our family took advantage of the Blue Ridge Railway trip to Mccaysville. They loved it!

Not a clean Cabin.
The cabin was dirty. There was dirt in the cabinets as well as the drawers. The porch furniture is so old and the seats were so dirty we could not sit in them. There was an animal carcass on the deck that we removed. There was trash under the porch that looked attrocious from the deck with the view of it. There was raw sewage a few feet from the deck. Furniture was duct taped together. Overall, this cabin needs some love and attention. The stay was pleasant. I wish we had a guide to use when I set the thermostat. Loved all the games. The river view was great. Popcorn machine was filthy. The downstairs bedrooms were in a basement and my family complained of being in the basement. We did not realized that was the situation until we got there. We needed 4 beds so there was not another option for those two folks. I wondered if the owners had been there lately ? I saw another review about the condition of the furniture. The owners need to take a look at their cabin.

This is a beautiful home and property. There are ao many things to do for all ages. We expected a larger group to go which included children ages 10 and 8, however they couldnt make it, but there were plenty of things to keep them occupied if they did come. Perfect place for peace and quiet! I was able to get lots of school work caught up! Would definitley go back again!

Beautiful area
We loved our stay in Ellijay. The river and the deer and the surroundings were amazing. The house was beautiful, but it was a little run down. The furnishings were old. Some were falling apart and held together with duct tape. Microwave light was burnt out so no light over the stove. Huge dustballs came flying out from under the sofa and love when we turned on the fan. The large back deck where the hottub is, was a mess. I think it's time for just a little TLC and it could be amazing once again. There was some problem with the septic system as it stunk really bad on the front porch, which is adjacent to the drainfield. I let owners know about it before we left. The firepit was a disappointment, not at all like pictured. I notice the picture now has been changed to show what it looks like now. Owners told us there was new furniture for around the firepit on order, but we missed out on that. All being said, we still had an amazing time enjoying the surroundings with our family and dogs, and owners seemed attentive to us when I spoke with them. The sound of the river was my favorite. Just wish it had been a bit cleaner and updated.

Summer Mountain Getaway
The property was very clean on the inside. We had an easy time finding the house with our GPS using the house address. The view was beautiful. Getting to the river was a steep hike and the river was low, so we didn’t get down there much. We were able to use the amenities of the resort with no problem. The places recommended to hike, and the tube were perfect. We forgot our dog food bowls and the housekeeper and owner could mail them back home for us. The house was perfect for our needs.

A wonderful stay in the beautiful Georgia Mountains
Rippling waters was the perfect getaway for our family this summer. The accomodations were exactly as stated and provided many hours of family fun! We inadvertently took the reference notebooks belonging to the cabin, and the owners were easy to work with to get them returned! The only negative was that the cleaning staff was still at the cabin (for quite a while) when we arrived (on time), and it kinda took away from that first hour, getting to explore the place excitement one expects on vacation.

Mountain cabin
We enjoyed the cooler weather and tubing in the river at the cabin. Golfers enjoyed golf. Cabin was clean, but decks were not. We cleaned them ourselves. Several of the activities ( for which I chose the cabin for our 5 teen agers) were broken. We used the fire pit at top of driveway one evening, but it is not at all the one pictured on line. Owners were quick to respond via text, but nothing changed. Needed light bulbs, pool cues, but none arrived. King size bed very comfortable. Home needs some TLC and updating. Enjoyed hot tub also.
