Lovely home. Plenty of room.

The access to the river is great. Everyone enjoyed being able to tube right to the back door (practically). Lots of space to spread out, and a huge, very well equipped kitchen. Love this company. They are always so nice and helpful. We only rent with them when staying in the mountains.

The cabin was wonderful. We loved the two levels - ideal for sharing the cabin with another family. The hot tub was great!

11/18 - The Lazy River was Amazing, waking up and falling asleep to the sound of the water moving was just breathtaking with the view. Everyone I spoke with was so nice.

12/18 - The deck to view the river...Really nice. You all provided very good details on everything and left plenty of linen for us.

- Erica Saron

01/19 - The cabin was beautiful and the surrounding views were spectacular. Between sitting by the fireplace, having lunch by the water, and evenings in the hot tub, expectations were exceeded at every turn. The staff at Escape to Blue Ridge were pleasant and professional in all of my interactions. Information was prompt and thorough. The guest information binder was especially helpful.

03/15- The house's best features were: the walkway to the river, the hot tub, the amount of space, the screened in patio, the large master bedroom, and the huge family room down stairs.Very clean too.

- Javier

02/15- The layout of the home was perfect for us! There is no way to feature all of its conveniences perfectly on the website. The large room downstairs was wonderful for gathering altogether, but there were plenty of places to go both inside and outside for a little private time as well.

- Bethanie

09/14- Pool table and access to the river are so much fun and were our favorite! Fantastic getaway! My family had a great time. Lots of beautiful memories!

- Christopher

06/15- Location and size is great and company very easy to work with.

- Charles

08/15- The furnishings were very nice and many were unique. Each room had plenty of room to stretch out and relax. The cabin in real life was much nicer than the pictures. The company was always responsive to any questions or calls.

- Charles

We absolutely fell in love with the Lazy River Lodge! The location is perfect! The access to the river is second to none, that we saw. The home is just as it's described, but pictures do not do this place justice. And, there is plenty to do in and around the area, so boredom is not likely for anyone. We hope to return, to THIS home, for another vacation next summer! We just want to stay longer next time! Escape to Blue Ridge has a new loyal clientele with our family! We WILL use this company again.

07/16- This home has the perfect spot on the Cartecay River. We spent hours playing in the river! There are 101 stairs to climb to go back up the hill to the house, but the rewards of that wonderful river are worth the effort! The pool/ping pong table was also a huge hit and was used every day. The kitchen is beautiful and well-appointed. This is the second time we've rented from this company and we WILL do so again. Our group has already decided they want to stay at this very house again next year, because the whole experience was so pleasant.

08/15- Great rec room, beautiful river in the backyard, awesome kitchen. Quality people follow through on commitments clean house awesome rental. We will use again.

03/16- The lovely house, river view and the hot tub with the speaker outside.

- Charmaine

07/16- Beautiful home, nice big kitchen.

- Duane

07/16- The house is nestled in the woods, giving you a true nature experience! We loved seeing the deer come across the yard and hearing the river while playing cards on the deck! It was a real escape from our incredibly busy lives and the change of pace was just what the doctor ordered!

- Sharon

10/16- The creek was nice and private enough and there were deer walking through the yard.

- Greg

11/15- The Cartecay River and the rocky outcrop allowing for fishing and wading. It was a riot to see three grandchildren (girls between 4-7) decide, on their own, to strip to panties and jump in and splash around. They came out with blue feet and hands but proud of their courage. Kitchen had everything you could imagine for home cooking. Thanks.

- Herbert

12/15- Spacious with lots of room for different activities

- Idena

03/15- The hot tub was amazing, also the facilities in the kitchen were in great condition and brand new quality. The amount of space was great, and it allowed for comfortable seating. The pool table and ping pong table were also very fun and useful. t was an amazing experience for an affordable price. It was also near a great kayaking place nearby, so that was convenient.

- Jay

12/15- The view and the river were gorgeous. We loved the updated kitchen with top notch appliances. We also liked it that the fireplaces and grill worked. I loved the steps down to the water. They made it so much easier to get down to the river. I was very impressed with your company. I called with a couple of questions and the phone was answered promptly and my questions answered immediately. I was told that a load of firewood would show up within 24 hours and it did indeed! I also liked that we could go directly to the cabin upon arrival rather than having to hunt down a rental office and THEN find the cabin. A great experience!!

- Judith L.

11/14- Very roomy! Spacious, clean, beautiful view. We loved every thing about it.

- Kim

08/15- Loved we had plenty of room. The river was prefect.

- Nancy

03/16- The river is fantastic. The size of the home allows for the ability to be soaked out and private. Updating some of the decor since last year was a nice touch.

- Logan

08/16- The location was wonderful on a quite paved road on the river close to down town Elijah. We have used your vacation company and your services for many cabins now and have had a wonderful experience each and every time. Thank you for your time and energy and effort.

- Nickie

07/16- Very spacious. I loved the pool table, and loved the river. You all are very friendly and helpful.

- Pamela R. (Pam)

12/16- Beautiful home. Nicely decorated, stunning view from the living room windows. Very well equipped kitchen. The game room was an added plus. Great company- always spoke to a friendly person.

Lazy River Lodge is a beautiful cabin with excellent Cartecay River access. It was perfect for my husband and I with our two teenagers and each of their friends. The location is ideal in Ellijay as well as easy access to all surrounding areas. We had a great week!\r\n\r\nHowever... the grounds and home do need tending to in regards to cleanup, weeding, and general apprearance due to the following: significant amount of garbage on property, broken and unattended flower pots, water damage to downstairs ceiling tiles (may be cause of bad smell downstairs when we arrived), torn pool table pocket causing pool balls to drop to floor, games in disarray in home cabinets.\r\n\r\nKitchen amenities are very basic and it was difficult finding appropriate serving bowls/platters as they were sparse.\r\n\r\nProvision of a little TLC is all it needs.

Lazy River Lodge was fantastic for our getaway with 3 adults and 5 children! Very nicely furnished, comfy beds, plenty of room and lots to do. We loved the river and spent many hours down on the rocks. Do know that there are over 100 steps to the river... some people might have trouble with that. Also so nice having room for both cars inside a garage. Washer and dryer very nice to have on vacation.

- Karen J

10/14- THE MASTER BEDROOM WAS GORGEOUS, AND THE RIVER VIEW BEHIND THE CABIN IS BEAUTIFUL AND THE PERFECT PLACE FOR A PHOTOGRAPHY SHOOT. OTHER THAN BEING A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO FIND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO OTHERS. A HELPFUL AND ON CALL STAFF MADE OUR STAY VERY ENJOYABLE, EVEN GOING SO FAR AS TO FIX A SHORT LIVED PLUMBING ISSUE. WE HAD A GREAT TIME WITH FRIENDS AND WOULD DEFINITELY GO BACK!

08/14- The house was unbelievable, but the river was so much fun! I have already sent links to several friends....wondering if this is a good idea as the cabin won't be available for me if I tell too many people. Plus after having posted photos on Facebook....well I can't be selfish. This was my second year staying at the lazy river lodge. I can't think of anything to improve the amenities.

06/18 - Plenty of room, great kitchen, enjoyed the screened porch, lovely to hear the river when the windows were open and to be able to walk down the stairs to play there. Appreciated the instructions, towels, gift bag, soap and emails about local events that awaited us, as well as good communication and efficient billing!
