Deer River Retreat - River Front, Hot Tub, Dog Friendly/ Minimum Age Requirement

This property is located in the Coosawattee River Resort which means you are able to utilize the amenities of the resort including the Rec Center with indoor olympic size heated pool, exercise room, arcade room, tennis courts, basket ball courts, putt putt golf, picnic areas at various parks within the resort and the 3 outdoor swimming pools (during summer season) at no additional cost to you for authorized groups up to 8 people. Please note, it is out of control should one or any of these amenities not be available during your stay and there should be no expectation of any refunds should this occur. None of our properties are within walking distance to the resort and depending on location, could be a 2 minute to 15 minute drive.

Deer River Retreat - with 2 king bedrooms located on separate floors, it makes for a perfect couples retreat. A great covered back porch overlooking the river provides a great place to sit, relax, listen and admire the waters of the Coosawattee. On a hot day take a dip in the cool mountain waters or grab your kayak or tube and explore what the river has to offer. Of course many a fisherman enjoy throwing their line in the waters hoping for "the big one". Whatever brings you to this cabin, you won't leave disappointed.

The living room hosts 2 sofa's, a 42" Flat Screen TV, DVD, gas log fireplace and views of the beautiful river. The king bedroom on the main level has back porch access, a jetted bath tub, a walk in shower and a 32" TV. The upstairs king bedroom has a 32" TV, a private bath with tub/shower combo and your own private balcony overlooking the river.

There is a spacious loft that has a brand new pool table, dart board, and board games for those looking to have some indoor fun.

Apple Festival Stay
The stay was very good. However , we received one small bar of soap for two people for 5 days. The soap was gone on day three. It would have been nice to have a chair or luggage rack in the bedrooms. One bedroom had several roaches. Overall , We enjoyed our stay and the property. It was close to Ellijay and other attractions..

Unlucky Weather
We weren't able to enjoy the property/river like we had hoped due to hurricane Helene coming through. It was nice having a pool table and dart board so we had something to do while it rained. And we were still able to visit a few wineries. I would like to stay here again and hopefully have better weather.

Fun long weekend.!
Very cool wooden cabin that gives you that log cabin feel .Beautiful river views from most rooms and from the balconies. Nice pool table , darts and games.Very convenient to grocery stores, hiking and downtown activities. We enjoyed playing fetch with the dogs in the river , a little too chilly for though !! Maybe we will come back and float in the river later this summer!

Wonderful, Quiet Location
The cabin was just as expected, and, as mentioned before, the driveway was very steep. The driveway is angled in the opposite direction of the way you come in, but there are other ways to get in and out and other places to turn around. The river was wonderful and calming. The hot tub was a huge bonus. We also utilized the recreation center with an indoor pool, tennis, basketball, and pickleball courts. There were some cobwebs because of very high ceilings but it was otherwise clean. The owner was prompt in responding to inquiries. It was a great vacation for us, and we would happily return.

So peaceful and so many deer
We highly enjoyed our stay. There were so many deer in the neighborhood. The water was easy to get to since it has flat ground in the back yard. Place was very clean. Driveway was not my favorite but every cabin we have ever stayed at I haven’t been fond of lol. Overall. Great stay !

Needs lots of Updates and more thorough Cleanings
We will not rent this place again and do not recommend it to anyone until the owner gets does more to make this place what it could be. We arrived and the place apeared to be clean, but it was not. There were cobwebs and dust and dirt on floors and counters etc. The kitchen had worn out pots and pans that must have been 15 years old. The non-stick was completely scratched and the pans were warped so badly they would not sit flat on the stove. Since we enjoy cooking and ate most our meals at the cabin this was annoying and a turn off. The cleaning service sucks. They barely did their job prior to our arrival. The appliances were also very dated. not an issue because they did work properly. The gas grill worked great but was so dirty when i first used it that the grease in the grease catch pan under the burners caught fire and flames were coming out the back of the grill and almost scorched the wood railing on the decking. I moved the grill away from the railing and remove the aluminum drip pan and replaced it with aluminum foil. Decking was clean but the patio chairs were broken and two of them were so broken we could not use out of concerns they would crash while sitting in them. The view was amazing of course and the river was nice and close to the house. Tv's stopped working about mid week but not an issue for us. I could add a lot more to this list. Bottom line, the owner needs to pump some money into the place to continue to ask for current rates. Overpriced.

Amazing cabin right on the river
This quaint cabin is tucked away in the north Georgia mountains, right on the Coosawattee River. We thoroughly enjoyed the property, which was well equipped for a relaxing weekend. The highlights of the amenities included an outdoor private hot tub, two levels of decks overlooking the river, and a firepit right on the shoreline. We highly recommend this cabin for a relaxing weekend getaway.

Amazing long weekend get away!
My husband and I enjoyed our long weekend get away at Deer River Retreat. The cabin's location on the river was the perfect spot for us to escape and unwind and the cabin was furnished with everything we needed so we could just stay there and enjoy each other and the beautiful, tranquil setting of cabin. We were hoping for some snow but mother nature had other plans...haha. Thank you again for sharing your cabin with us. We definitely hope to visit again!

Wonderful place on the River
We went with another couple and found the property to be as good as advertised. There does need to be clear instructions in to how to operate the gas logs and and TVs so you can watch regular cable. Another easy chair in the living room would be nice. In cold months bring extra blankets. The driveway is steep and I used my 4 wheel drive at the top a couple of times. We saw deer and geese swimming the river. We enjoyed a fire in the firepit a couple of nights. Overall a great place to stay.

Beautiful and relaxing
Upon entry of the gate our first thoughts were OMG! We were not aware of the narrow/steep roadways (paved and gravel). The driveway is very steep from the street down to the house. But we made a game out of it coming and going each time lol. The house itself is beautiful! The bedrooms were very large. The master bath room is very large. Both bedrooms have nice size walk in closets. The kitchen had all the dishes, pots, pans, glasses and silverware. Also 2 coffee makers, although we only used the Kurig. With the river right out back we enjoyed the geese flying thru in the mornings. There are many deer of all sizes through out the area and the yard :-) We really enjoyed our stay! Family, kid and pet friendly! Our dog slept the whole way home …..LOL Our only issue was a smoke detector battery died and it beeped and beeped. We contacted the property manager and she responded quickly and a tech was out to replace it within an hour or so. Great communication!

Everything was as advertised. Great riverfront cabin. Only problem was our name was not listed at the gated entrance but it was cleared up and wasn't a problem during the trip. Dog Bed and water bowls was a nice touch as was movable gate on the balcony to block dogs from going down to the yard. Nice location for tubing. You can put in up the street at the park and float 30 min. to the cabin or go to park in Ellijay and float back to the cabin in about an hour.and a half.

Clean Home + Nicely situated on the river
Home was clean. While the property manager attended to the leak under the kitchen sink promptly and corrected the leak, it was disappointing that it was not handled prior to our visit. It was apparent that someone knew about the leak and just failed to fix it. In addition, it would have been nice to have more basics in the kitchen than salt and pepper. The first floor master shower was extremely small and difficult for my 6’3” partner to navigate. Overall, property management was great and the home was clean.

Beautiful cabin, but horrible roads
Loved the cabin, but getting to the cabin on terrible roads was not ideal. Loved the deer and geese. Didn't used the bird seed that was in the garage, because it was moldy and wormy. You need to throw it out and buy fresh, or not have it at all. I went to use Waffle Iron, and it was dirty from previous use(some sort of syrup or jelly left on it). Also there were spider webs mostly outside, but some inside that should be removed. I don't know what can be done to correct the TV freezing in the down stairs bedroom, but it's annoying. Other TV's were fine. Nice cabin though and loved the river view.

River View Vacation
We enjoyed our stay ate the cabin. The cabin was clean and is close to the river. We enjoyed the fire pit at night as the weather turned cool. The back porch could use more comfortable chairs. The back steps need some lights on the steps as it is vey dark at night. The steps were wet and full of leaves and I slipped and fell down the steps injuring my ankle and back. It is a nice cabin and the location is close to town.
