We had 16 people total, 5 adults and 11 kids. We could have stayed the entire weekend and never left the cabin, it was better than we could have imagined, plenty of room, games to play and even tho it was cold the river was a blast! We will definitely be back!

Life Long Memories
Wow! Just wow! This place is incredible! The direct private access to the river provided our group with hours upon hours of fun! We felt like it was all the best parts of camping without having to “rough it.” The bedrooms on three different stories of the cabin gave each family some personal space while still feeling connected and open. The kitchen is fully stocked and had everything we needed to make lots of family meals.
There is something for everybody here! Our littles enjoyed playing in the warm sun along the sandy river shore, our older kids spent hours tubing, rock hopping and rope swinging into the river and playing volleyball and basketball. The adults enjoyed fishing, kayaking, relaxing in the hammock swings and soaking in the hot tub. Our entire group drove to the tubing out in spot and tubed 2 hours down the river which was a blast. We were so thankful for the special memories made in such a gem of a location!

Wonderful weekend!
Once again we spent a wonderful weekend at Rocky River. It's the perfect place for a group gathering. There's ample space for all to spread out, and also enjoy meal times together. This year the weather wasn't so great but we didn't mind hanging around the well appointed cabin. Sarah and Ian are the perfect hosts and will do everything they can to help with anything that might come up. We keep on coming back every year because it's a perfect fit for our group. I highly recommend Rocky River for your next family gathering.

INCREDIBLE!
Our church brought our young adult group here for a weekend of rest and it did not disappoint! The property and cabin were perfect. Everything inside and out was just spotless. Ian was very responsive and helpful when I reached out with a couple of questions. It exceeded all expectations!! It is the perfect spot for a retreat weekend. We will be returning!

Myself and a large group of friends visited the Rocky River Cabin in June of 2024 and had an absolute blast. The property was beautiful and had so many things to do. The pictures truly don’t do it justice. The surrounding area is beautiful and clean. Would definitely stay at this Cabin again and highly recommend it for anyone wanting a fun and relaxing time in the mountains of North Georgia!

Great Place to stay for a group or large family
The cabin is great and has a lot of good things about it. Tons of activities and a hot tub that was very clean when we got there. Rules were easy to follow and had a great view of the River. We would come back to this next time we do a mountain trip.

Steeeeeeeep Driveway
We came for a long weekend retreat and enjoyed the location on the river!
The property is in need of several repairs/updates. The kitchen had not been wiped down and there was significant dust accumulation in the upstairs bedroom. The basement shower curtain liner was moldy. There were also several items of clothing left out in the yard.
We wanted to vacuum at one point, but neither of the vacuums was in working order. The crock pot was missing a side clip so we had to use a hair band to attach it in order to cook supper one night.
None of these things prevented us from enjoying the visit, and if it weren’t for the steep driveway it would be ideal. The drive way is terrifying.

Overall we were very pleased with our stay. On the day we checked in I was a little early and had the opportunity to meet Mr. Hamilton. Ian is an amazing person and gave me a personal tour of his property and even told me about some of the outdoor activities that were near by. My wife and children had an amazing time and we look forward to visiting again.
