We stayed at the mountain cabin in Ellijay, Ga and it was a fantastic experience. We saw deer every day and they came up really close. You could spend hours relaxing on the front porch.There are plenty of amenities on the cabin property which we were able to enjoy. The host (Danette) was extremely responsive and answered all of our questions very quickly. She also provided a wealth of knowledge about her favorite activities in the Ellijay area.In conclusion, we very much enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this location and host for staying in the Ellijay area. Thank you.

Why they chose this property

We are blessed to share our beautiful cabin with you in peaceful Coosawattee River Resort. We named it "Once Upon A Deer" because we fell in love with the stunning deer roaming around the homes and resort. After several visits, we decided to purchase a home in Ellijay, known as the apple capital of Georgia. A quintessentially charming and welcoming town.

We are so happy to share our special getaway with you. Please treat it with the same respect as you would do your own home. We hope you'll make the most of this cozy cabin, its amenities, and your opportunity to relax and visit the surrounding area(s).

Thank you in advance for being a super guest! Please travel safe and come visit us again, anytime you're back in Ellijay.
