Our girls trip was awesome. We had plenty of room and Debbie at checkin, as usual was so helpful and sweet. The weather was great and shopping, apple picking and wine tastings were plentiful. Villas at Coosawattee River is my favorite place in Ellijay.

Loved the location on the river with a great enclosed deck to view it from. Swing and rapids relaxed us like a meditation. Even for two nights this place recharged and refreshed us. Wineries and Hitching Post pizzas were the adventure and the fire pit a great place to watch river floaters and wild life.

Gorgeous setting in nature by the river.

Beautiful place overall… especially the area it’s located in and outdoors surrounding the place; the house is dated and needs a bit of taking care of and updating; has all that is needed to stay comfortably; beds are squeaky and not really comfortable although they sleep fine.

Cabin was nice and had everything we needed. Only downside was the long, curvy narrow roads to get to the cabin. Hard to get back to your cabin at night when it is dark, until you get used to where your cabin is. Other than that, a nice stay.

Everything was perfect. Only complaints are no WiFi & half the electrical outlets need to be replaced in unit. Cords won’t stay plugged in. We made it work. Unit was very clean and comfortable. Will definitely be back for a third trip.

Beautiful views of the River, secluded area far from town. If you are a nature lover, this is your place. We really enjoyed seeing all the Deer! This property is very outdated on the inside. Needs a fresh coat of paint and new furnishings. The mattress was so loud and squeaky to the point that it kept me and my husband awake all night, and it had a bad sag in the middle.This place would be amazing if it was updated. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

The property is nice and spacious but the lady bugs inside were beyond insane they were everywhere to where you could not relax could leave the porch door open. To many dead bugs in the bathroom and living room this was to much to relax

Nice spot- bad mattress.

The Villa was nice and clean. The bed mattress had a hole in the middle. I didn't notice but my wife said it sucked her downhill towards me all night(I sleep soundly). The only other gripe is that trees blocked much of the view of the river; disappointing. But the deck overlooking the trees next to the river was outstanding, and we still had a great time.

Overall, a very nice place to stay.

We stayed at the "Villa" on the river. Overall, our place was really nice. It was clean and had everything we needed. My only complaints were that the sheets were polyester. I can't sleep or wear polyester because it actually burns my skin. I had to go out and buy a cotton blanket to sleep in and put a t-shirt around a pillow. The little single bed is really hard but the main queen bed is nice. There is also a little trundle mattress under the single bed. I am not sure that there is room to pull it out all of the way, but it would be convenient if you need it. I also think that they ought to have salt and pepper in the cabins. We left a little laundry detergent and ketchup packages in the drawers for the next person should they need it. I don't know if it will be allowed to stay.

Not clean

Our cabin that was described (pictures shown on website) was not the same cabin. The cabin had roaches (killed over 15 that we could get to) and when called to complain I was told there was nothing they could do. I had to wait until the next day to get another place to stay. Poor communication with staff (my complaint wasnt forwarded). We spent the extra money to have the cabin feeling and not what we ended up getting. No apologies given for the inconvenience. When we were moved they acted like they were doing us a big favor. Still didn't get what we paid for or refunded.
