Great place to relax and “get away” from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The roads are a maze to figure out and it’ll take a hot minute to get to your place (and get out of the complex), so be prepared to enjoy the views of nature when arriving or leaving.Not much to do in the Childersburg area aside from Majestic Caverns, which is nice. Food and grocery options are super limited if you aren’t up for a drive.Overall, this place is amazing for taking a break from life. If you’re looking for a place to act as a home base for you to go out and do things in the area, prolly look closer to Birmingham.

Is there any effect from the burn ban order?

I have my reasons for 3 stars, I really hate that I have to rate so low but the ads, social media, and website really ruined our expectations. The photo attached is the “river view” cabin we paid extra for. The cabin we were given was named the Lydia. This is NOTHING like the website, only 1 cabin of the 3 river cabins have that “perfect” view of the river. That cabin is the Makilo by the way, so if you book a river view and it’s not that one, here’s your view. Also, I think my partner and I can take partial blame for not researching burn bans, but it would’ve been nice if Getaway informed us prior to arrival and we would’ve accommodated to the change easier. The fridge smelled really bad and should be cleaned out. Also the cabins are VERY close and there’s not really a sense of privacy that you’d expect. Cell service is spotty which I can’t complain because I didn’t need my phone. It was super quiet, occasional dog barking but no complaints. Overall, I was really excited about this place and can’t believe how disappointed I was, especially when extra money was paid. I do like that the other reviewers had a great experience unlike my partner and I.

The cabin was clean and well-stocked with necessities, which was great. However, it was disappointing that we couldn't light a fire in the fire pit because a burn ban was in effect. It seems like this restriction isn't just for a few days but lasts throughout the late fall to winter every year. It would be helpful to inform customers about this on the website so they can plan ahead when making reservations. Also, be cautious of pests like mosquitoes and mice.

They should’ve informed us that there was a fire ban going on, we were really looking forward to using the fire pit. Also we paid extra to have a river view cabin and we basically couldn’t see the river due to the trees. Only ONE cabin has the river view that’s shown on the website, the others don’t so beware when booking. They also need to separate cabins for those with pets because our cabin smelled exactly like a dog and the fridge could use a baking soda cleanse. Beds are firm and the shower lasts only 5 minutes. Also this place is money-hungry, lots of $500 fees for violations so make sure you read! My partner helped the trip be worthwhile but we won’t be coming back again.

Tried Getaway for the first time to celebrate our anniversary and we were not disappointed!!! We enjoyed the tiny cabin experience. It was stocked with everything you need to cook a good meal..you just bring the ingredients..We had a cabin with a little view of the Coosa River and it was so relaxing and rejuvenating..We thought not a having a TV was a total bust but nah!! We played a couples connect game that was left for us..made s’mores and I even cooked outside over the campfire for the 1st time in my life!! Lovely experience!!

I rent a getaway tiny cabin every year for my birthday. I love my time in nature and will continue visiting different outposts. The only complaint I had is I didn’t have hot water the entire time. They came out twice to fix the water heater and it didn’t work. It was over 100 degrees every day I was there so that made the cold showers tolerable.

I was actually surprised with a three day stay and loved it. I would recommend for couples, friends or singles. Bring your pets. They even provided treats for our fur babies.

Beautiful place. The only thing I want to say is if I book a cabin with the river view I should have gotten that, but there was no river view .This was my second time visiting a getaway cabin and it’s always a pleasure.

Went to the Tennesse location last year, which was nice. So I was excited to see there was a location close to home. Did a birthday trip here and it was absolutely wonderful. The views were beautiful. I actually came back home relaxed and rejuvenated. Definitely plan to go back in the summer!

Absolutely love it. We booked the outdoor suite and gave us more space and shades from sun and rain. Location was great it was just muddy due to rain but it doesn’t stop us our camping. My dogs love it especially the trails and river walk. Definitely coming back. Miss it already

My dad and I took a 4 night trip to the getaway at the coosa and it was the best thing! The knot between my shoulders went away and I felt so relieved to be back in nature. Coming home from this trip, I don't feel like I need another vacation. It was so un-stressful and wonderful. I'm already planning my next getaway!

My wife and I stayed two nights at Getaway Coosa River and had a great time! The cabin was clean, beautiful, and had everything you might need for the weekend. Perfect weekend for those who are new to the outdoors and for those who want some privacy. Neighboring cabins are close but out of sound and site. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants to getaway and relax for a weekend!

A wonderful stay. Highly recommend getting a river view cabin, had an amazing view. Also loved the nature path on the property. No issues with the cabin at all.
