A second stay

We first stayed here in 2024 and when we planned a return to ellijay/blue ridge we were happy to find the cabin was available again! It's spacious, well equipped, prime riverfront location and easy drive inside coosawattee and to the surrounding cities. We will definitely stay again if we make another trip to the area.

Restorative place

Brought the family here for the week. Being from Florida it was a great place to get away from the heat. Warm enough to get in the water and play in the river. It was great to enjoy nature without mosquitoes. The lightening bugs put on quite a show every night. I saw more deer in one week than I have seen in my entire life. This is truly a special place. Hope to get back soon!

Wonderful cabin in the woods

We loved staying at this cabin! There was plenty of room for our group to eat and enjoy an evening around the fire. The beds are comfortable and 3 bathrooms made getting ready very easy and quick. We mostly enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the river go by and the numerous deer that came by each day. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Perfect “Family Fun” Cabin!

We could not have stayed in a better cabin for our family of three couples and fur babies! This was the cleanest dog friendly cabin we have encountered on VRBO!The owner, Mauricio went above and beyond with his communication and answered any, and every question that I had. Loved that each couple had their own level of privacy with the sleeping arrangements. We soooo enjoyed the deck overlooking the river. We played multiple card games, had several meals out there, enjoyed our morning coffee there, and as previously mentioned, other reviews, we saw many deer. some of my family members actually fed the deer from their hands. Night time consisted of playing pool in the basement along with karaoke from one of our daughter’s portable karaoke machine. That was quite comical. Really enjoyed playing in the river by the rapids and our son-in-law‘s enjoyed the fishing. Had tons of fun taking our tubes down the road a bit and putting in at the river and floating back to our cabin. The cabin was in great proximity to many places to visit/explore! Enjoyed hiking at Tumbling Waters Trail with our dogs and playing in the river there.We visited a few vineyards that we’ve never been to, one being Grapes and Ladder, which is less than 2 miles from the resort entrance. Buckley’s vineyards was amazing with their food trucks, live entertainment, and fireworks. Biguns barbecue was amazing and not far from our cabin. Downtown Ellijay was close by as well as liquor stores, Chick-fil-A, and Walmart.

Beautiful Cabin Retreat in Coossawattee

I cannot say enough things about this cabin. It is beautiful and located in one of the most peaceful areas of the Coossawattee River Community. The owners are very accomodating and kind. The communication with the them was always good, and questions were answered promptly. There is a lot of deer around for your family to enjoy! To sum up, I highly recommend this cabin. You will not be disappointed! Thank you!

River Retreat

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cabin. There was plenty of room for my our family of 5 (14, 15, 16 yo kids), the kitchen and baths were well stocked, house was clean, beds comfy, in a quiet and secluded place along the river. River access was a big plus as it allowed us to do some fly fishing when it wasn’t raining. The porches are amazing with fantastic mountain and river views. The owner was very communicative and pro active with sharing information. Pet friendly with easy check I /out instructions. Coosawatee river is one of our favorite spots!

Place and location was perfect. Waterfront, awesome backyard with amazing river views. Deer just about everywhere you look. Loved the 2nd level deck! We spent a lot of time on the deck.

River vacation

We enjoyed this cabin very much. There was plenty of room, the porch was great to sit out and enjoy the sound of the river. River access was nice. We had one issue with the hot tub not heating up but I messaged the host and he responded right away with how to fix it, which worked, so we were happy. I would definitely stay here again, we love this area as well!
