Watersong Rapids sits directly on a rushing creek above a waterfall in the upscale Watersong community near Ellijay — upper and lower decks with the sound of the rapids constant below, a creekside fire pit right at the water’s edge, steps from the deck down to a flat area alongside the creek, and a hot tub and outdoor fireplace on the patio. Brand new in November 2022, three king suites, a custom bunk room, and a bar and pool table downstairs. The creek never stops and neither does the appeal of this place.
