Cozy Nature Escape at Coosawattee - Holiday Specials!
Welcome to "Deer Hideaway", the perfect place to make lifelong memories. This cozy cabin is great for families and friends looking to get away for a great mountain retreat. This beautiful 3BR/3BA + Loft cabin is located on 1.4 acres of land with tons of privacy inside Coosawattee River Resort - a popular, gated community in Ellijay. The mountain town of Ellijay, GA, prides itself in being the "Apple Capital of Georgia."
Enter through the main door into a great room adorned with a stacked stone wood burning fireplace, comfy couches, as well as a new 65" flat screen TV to enjoy a good movie. The fully equipped kitchen offers everything needed to create some great meals, and conversation to be enjoyed at the adjacent spacious dining area.
In the mood for dining alfresco? We've got you covered (literally). Our screened in deck offers additional seating, complete with multiple ceiling fans, an outdoor Weber grill and rocking chairs, perfect for sipping morning coffee while deer gazing. The property has a total of 3 porches, great for relaxing outdoors under a star lit sky. The back yard fire pit area provides a great place for telling ghost stories, star gazing and enjoying everybody's favorite, s'mores. Best to grab your favorite beverage and head on outdoors!
Our cabin has a bedroom with a smart TV and a full bathroom on each floor allowing the ultimate privacy for multiple families. The Master Bedroom and Bath is located upstairs with a door for privacy and a loft that overlooks the living room. The quaint loft area houses a twin over full bunk bed with a twin trundle that can sleep up to 4, aside a foosball and board game table, along with a wall-mounted smart TV, perfect for separate kids' quarters. We do provide tons of board games to enjoy. The main level offers a bedroom with a queen bed, a full bathroom and mudroom including washer/dryer.
Downstairs, you'll discover another living area with a full sleeper sofa, a 43" flat screen smart TV, and a 6-ft pool table! This floor also has a separate bedroom with a queen bed and a 43" smart TV, as well as a full bathroom with tub/shower combo. If you're in the mood for some outdoor fun, cornhole is available right outside on the lower deck.
Bring your kayaks/tubes and fishing gear to take advantage of the river and fishing ponds located within the resort. There are several walking trails to enjoy nature, as well as river access, again all located within the resort. The city's remote location and small-town charm provide a beautiful setting and a place to relax, refresh, and enjoy mesmerizing surroundings full of attractions and places of interest for you to visit.

Perfectly Named
Deer Hideaway is the PERFECT name for this stay! If you want to see deer, you will...EVERY day...without fail. The first morning we were there, we drove out to Dunkin for breakfast and passed (that we counted) 36 deer from our door to the guard gate!!! Being from Florida, this was heavenly for us! My 11 and 13 year old really enjoyed the pool table downstairs. It was very easy to communicate with the owners, and we used the amenities pass, which was very nice.
The cabin could have been better stocked and a bit cleaner, but overall, we had a wonderful stay!

3 night getaway
Three generations enjoyed a brief getaway in Ellijay. Plenty of room for us. Very quiet location (except for occasional barking dog next door). Owners were very attentive. One note: after sundown, the living and dining areas are quite dark—perhaps a couple of torchiere lamps could be added. Loved the outdoor fire ring and seating!

Fall getaway
The cabin was nice. Beware of the driveway leading up to the cabin as it is steep. The biggest issue we had is that the TV's are very old. They do not allow you to add apps so that you can stream apps like YouTube TV. There is no cable or satellite either. So we were unable to watch traditional TV. Also, the pool table in the basement, is not full size. I will say that the owner was very responsive when I reached out for assistance. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but the TV's need upgrading.

Deer Hideaway stay
The cabin was as pictures showed. Spacious and clean with plenty of activities. The foosball table and pool table kept the grandkids occupied when we weren’t out and about. We have stayed at Coosawatee before and this cabin moved to the top of our list. The hosts were very easy to get a hold of and very responsive.

Deer Hideaway = Perfect for us
Place was as advertised. Loved talking to all the pretty ladies, I mean deer! Perfect set up for 9 adults and even more if the kids were little. Only adventures we had were the remote controls controlling the ceiling fans in both the Master and Living room. Great little welcome gift was a great touch. Would definitely do it again!
