The Riversong Story...
Calvin remembers the day well. His truck was parked in the driveway, the motor still ticking as it cooled. He took a look around the cabin, walked the few yards to the river’s edge, breathed in a lungful of the cool spring air coming off the Toccoa, then told the real estate agent that he’d not be looking at any of the other properties she had lined up for that afternoon.
“Man, I just knew it was the right one,” he remembers. “I was looking for a place where I could chill out, do some fly fishing, spend a lazy weekend on the river — this was perfect.”
So perfect, in fact, that he’s looking forward to spending his retirement at Riversong.
Before writing these descriptions, I like to have a chat with the property owners so I could see these homes through their eyes, and convey the feel-good emotions they experience to you, the future guest. Calvin didn’t disappoint.
As expected with a gorgeous property right on the water, a lot of what he shared was related to his love of the Toccoa River (you may have noticed that I have mentioned water or river no fewer than nine times, so far). The joys of walking out the door and into the water; or simply watching it lazily flow by on a sunny afternoon, mesmerizing in a way only a moving river can be. Having a long soak in the hot tub on the deck, then running and jumping into the cool depths (“If you’re going the other way,” Calvin warns with a chuckle, “you best clean up real good.”)
But much of Riversong’s magic is behind the wood and stone that comprise the cabin, itself. Roomy and open, the lounge area is the perfect setting for conversation, laughter, and games — or some TV and reading as the fire crackles. There is also a smaller chilling area in the loft.
The beautiful kitchen is outfitted with everything you may need — shiny appliances to good knives, and all — from feasts to midnight snacks. And the central island/bar will quickly become a gathering point for your family or friend group.
No cost was spared on the beautiful furniture, inside and out: craftsman porch swings to live edge handmade beds, you’ll sit, rock, or recline in rustic comfort. One thing that is not rustic is the super-fancy newfangled hot tub. Jeeze, Louise, it’s more technologically advanced than my first iPod (younger guests: look it up).
All the beds and bedrooms are lovely, no doubt about it, but I highly recommend you call dibs on the Master as soon as you arrive. The bathroom alone, with its huge soaking tub and Persian rugs, is reason enough, but getting out of the king bed first thing in the morning and going out on the private screened in veranda (naked, potentially?) for some river-gazing quiet time? Priceless.
So call a family meeting (or just book it — heck, you got a credit card!), talk to your college buddies, call those cousins you never get to spend time with, and come on up to North Georgia. Regardless of your taste in music, you’ll love Riversong, I’m sure of it.
