Dog-Friendly Forest Cabin with Hot Tub, Shared Pool, Game Room, Two Decks

Bucky and Doe Doe's Place

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Surround yourself with wildlife and tranquil forest landscapes at this two-bedroom Ellijay cabin, a cozy and welcoming home with an abundance of mountain charm, a private hot tub, shared pool, and firepit, and a basement game room to provide hours of family fun.

This three-level, dog-friendly retreat is part of the Coosawattee River Resort in North Georgia, which is just three miles southwest of downtown Ellijay. The home sits in a mountain valley that is well-traveled by white-tailed deer, allowing guests to enjoy frequent sightings of the local wildlife.

Admire wonderful alpine details as you enter the living space, which features hardwood floors, exposed tongue-and-groove on the walls and ceiling, and a beautiful stone hearth. Turn on the gas fireplace, take a seat in the leather recliner, and use the WiFi to plan tomorrow's adventures.

As your kids retreat to the den to watch a few shows on the flatscreen cable TV, get a head start on dinner in the kitchen, where you'll find stainless steel appliances, a five-burner gas range, and a center island with two bar stools. Light the gas grill to barbecue chicken and sit down to eat at the six-person table.

In the spring, summer, and colorful autumn months, you'll have two covered decks with cushioned lounge furniture, Adirondack chairs, and views of the surrounding valley. And no matter the season, you'll enjoy a five-person hot tub on the lower deck and an outdoor firepit in the backyard.

Spend your evenings sipping wine on the front porch, watching the sunset over the ridge line, and taking your dog for long walks (please note that an additional nightly fee applies). Your kids will also delight in the basement game room, which offers Ping-Pong, an ESPN Quick Shot, sofas, and another TV.

With two bedrooms and three bathrooms, Bucky and Doe-Doe's Place can sleep as many as eight guests. On the main level, you'll find an inviting bedroom with a queen-size bed, while the upstairs room offers two double beds and a private bathroom. The living room, den, and game room also have a queen-size sofabed and a futon.

Additional amenities at this cabin include private laundry facilities, shared pool, a collection of puzzles and board games, and a bin of corn to leave for the deer in the yard.

Whether you're planning a family vacation full of outdoor adventures or a relaxing retreat with your loved ones, you won't find a more serene escape than the mountains of North Georgia. Take a short drive into downtown Ellijay, the quaint town that has hosted the Georgia Apple Festival each October since 1971.

You'll also be only 18 miles from Carters Lake, where you can hike along the 62-mile shoreline, rent a pontoon boat at the marina, or drop your fishing line for spotted bass and walleye.

Experience the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains in every season - begin planning your Ellijay vacation today!

Great family-friendly cabin close to Ellijay
This three-level home was perfect for a family getaway - lots of room for teenagers to spread out and have their own space, particularly the large TV in the basement which also had lots of games (ping pong, darts, basketball). Two large deck areas and a hot tub were also perfect for enjoying the beautiful fall weather and occasional visits from deer. The cabin was a very short drive to Ellijay, which has a lot of choices for dining and shopping (especially antiques). All in all, a great experience. Some areas in need of attention - new mattresses are sorely needed on the beds and the cookware is quite worn out.

Wildlife all around you.
Great house, everything works, comfy beds up stairs. Yet good enough for teens I think. Great place for a family with little ones. No hiking trails, huge community, but lots of wildlife to see. Deer in pack fulls, racoons, squirrels and birds of a plenty. The pool and jacuzzi was awesome, and their game room was very fun too. Were just tall people and needed things for tall folks. LoL. Toilets, mirror's and things. But great stay! Excellent communication the whole time. They had everything for any situation too. Loved it. Thank you for the great getaway!

Overall a nice stay
Overall this was a great stay and a very nice cabin. Secluded and quiet, spacious enough to accommodate our family of 5 and two dogs. It wasn’t super clean but it’s a cabin. We will likely book again for next spring.

Amazing place, Would recommend
This place was just amazing! The game room was so cool and my kids liked the collections that they had down there. The hot tub was just perfect, the view you had was amazing. I also loved the dear that would show up every time we looked outside. The kitchen was amazing because it had all the dishes and utensils for us to use. The gas fire place was so easy to use just while watching movies. All of the beds and rooms were amazing and had no issues yet the beds were a little squeaky. It was a little hard to first get near the house because the driveway was very narrow and steep. Overall the place is amazing and would recommend for any families.

Great Mini Retreat
My daughter, her friends, and I had a wonderful experience at our cabin. It was super clean and just about had everything that you can think of. We enjoined seeing deer each morning and used the firepit all three nights. What a great getaway. We're already talking about coming back again next year.

A wonderful little getaway!!
We had such a lovely time at Bucky & Doe Doe’s!!! The cabin was very clean, up to date appliances. The kids loved the games and ping pong! Hot tub was nice and hot and relaxing! Even though it rained nearly the entire time we did not mind at all because there was plenty to do (or not do). The dogs loved exploring the gorgeous backyard and it is so sweet how dog friendly the cabin is!! Also, again I cannot stress how lovely and clean everything especially since y’all allow fur babies! Thank you so much, we will definitely be back!

We are still talking about our stay!
For a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of a new school year, the weekend trip was just what we needed. And the house was the perfect fit. Great place, great location (Tumbling Waters trail was nearby and an incredibly awesome day playing in the waters there). The kids loved the games and entertainment available in the house. We enjoyed the quiet back porch. And the deer! The deer were parading through the back yard area, as close as the uppermost grass terrace. We sat in the hot tub and watched the families of deer wander by. Only critical part of our stay was the beds. So noisy when tossing and turning on them. Made sleeping a bit of a challenge for the restless sleepers in our family because you can hear every movement on the mattresses. Overall though, we loved the place!

A little slice of nature, centrally located to a lot of fun activities but, carved out of a quiet area making you feel like you are all alone with the deer.

Great cabin and view. However...
Very nice cabin and location. Two things to improve: Replace mattresses they were extremely noisy and cheap feeling. Get gate info correct. The code given never worked. Had to call security each time. The code given was wrong it was to end in # sign tot an R.. It is also a 5 digit code not 4. As shown in email info which is further confusing

We love Bucky and Doe Doe's Cabin
The neighborhood was full of beautiful scenery, lots of wild life and friendly neighbors. We seen lots of deer every day. The cabin was very nice and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with all kinds of pots and pans. We were able to cook full meals every night. The kids enjoyed the game room both in the cabin and at the rec center. The staff were very friendly. Overall would definetly go back again and recommend to others. Only things we had a little complaint of was there wasn't firewood at the house and all the tree branches that were outside were very wet so it took a long time to get the fire started so make sure to bring wood with you. The house is not sound proof at all so you can hear every move lol and we didn't have corn for the deer but they still came every day. We loved it all so much though so these are not to shame the place at all its more so people are prepared when they come.
