Escape the hustle and bustle of the city with a stay at Lucky Stars Lodge in the Coosawattee River Resort minutes from downtown Ellijay. This spacious lodge is located on 2 acres of land providing privacy and seasonal views of the Blue Ridge mountains. Watch for wildlife while relaxing in the hot tub or while lounging on one of the many screened in or open decks. Make s'mores and tell campfire stories while gathered around the fire pit. If you'd rather stay in doors, take advantage of the pool table in the loft or the air hockey, foosball table, and x-box system (with access to a catalog of free games) in the game room
When pulling up to the house you'll first notice an outdoor patio with rocking chairs and swings invoking images from movies of the perfect peaceful getaway. Upon entering the house, you'll find a great room flooded with natural light and stone fireplace. For nights you want to cook at home, take advantage of the fully stocked kitchen and bbq grill for meals at home. For those who struggle with stairs, the main floor has two bedrooms and two bathrooms each with a king bed. Downstairs you'll find another bathroom, one bedroom with a king bed and the bunk bedroom just off of the game room. For the outdoor lovers, we have three screened in porches to help avoid pesky mosquitos as well as 3 open porches, each bedroom having its own porch. Just in case you have a large party we have an additional bed in the upstairs loft where you'll also find an antique pool table.
While the house does not have direct access to the river, you are welcome to access the river for floating, fishing or kayaking at the resort community's river entrance. For security, the property has two cameras in the front of the house and one in the back of the house.
Guest access
The community is guard gated and requires a list of the names of all guests ages 16 or older. Please provide the list of names soon after booking so I may submit them to the community. We also need to know the number of cars that will need entry into the neighborhood. Please be aware, guests will be denied entry into the community if their names are not on the list. The driver may be required to show his/her driver's license upon entering the property. A number for the guard house is provided if you would like to have food delivered to the property.
The pools, community arcade, mini golf, sports courts, and recreation center in the photos are accessible to guests for a fee. Guests may purchase amenity access cards from the community during their stay. Each card costs $59 and allows up to 4 people to use the the community amenities during your stay. Use of community outdoor parks, the fishing pond, and the river access are free of charge.
Just as a heads up, the roads in the community can be steep and are often windy. While the area does not often receive much snow, if there is snow or ice you may need 4 wheel drive or tire chains to access the house. Most of the roads are paved, but the house is on a gravel road.
Other things to note
The property is treated monthly by pest control on the first Tuesday of every month. Unfortunately, pests are a part of life in the area and some do sneak into the house in spite of our best efforts. Please keep doors closed and food stored or in a closed trash bin to assist with keeping pests out. If you see an abundance of pests, please let host know. There are no refunds for seeing pests in the house.
Pets are allowed on the property and in the community, but they must be leased and observed at all times while outside per the community rules. Deer and other wildlife are frequently found on the property so we want to protect both pets and the wildlife. Please pick up after your pet.
There are security cameras located on the outside of the house only. There are two in the front of the house and one in the back of the house.
The fishing pond is a catch and release only pond. A fishing license is required to fish on the river.
We do not provide firewood. However, we do keep a stockpile of firewood left from previous guests. You are welcome to use the stockpile if there is any wood available.
The home is self-catered. You are provided with a starter kit of toilet paper, paper towels, laundry/dishwasher detergent, soap and trash bags. Should you run out of any of these items you may purchase them at the local walmart or grocery store.
