Deer Watch Retreat in Coosawattee River Resort

Situated amongst the North Georgia Mountains, a timeless cabin awaits your arrival - perfect for families or groups of friends. Nestled in the Ellijay’s Coosawattee River Resort, a quiet gated community surrounded by the woods, this 3-bedroom cabin provides a private paradise. Guests will enjoy the secluded hot tub deck where you can leisurely unwind in the evenings. Steps away, a firepit is situated for cozying up under the stars while smores cook over the flames. The protected deer in the area will come up and eat from your hand. You’re sure to make the most of the natural beauty all around, but inside offers recreation options just as enchanting. Make use of the downstairs movie room and pool table for some family-friendly entertainment and fun. Then, head upstairs to the loft where you can challenge your friends to a game of foosball. Take the competition to the digital world with the loft’s smart tv, or simply relax with a favorite movie playing.

Back on the home’s main level, you have everything you need for the perfect getaway. Share quality time hanging out in the living room with gas fireplace, cook up delicious meals in the fully equipped kitchen, and dine at the table set for 6. Morning coffee and evening drinks alike can be enjoyed on the home’s balcony, complete with seating, grill, and tree-filled views. From here you can also watch the deer roam free.

GUIDELINES:
- Vehicle Recommendation: While AWD or 4WD vehicles are not necessary and you will be able to navigate this road we do recommended to travel the hilly gravel road leading to the house carefully and do not spin or cause your vehicle to throw of gravel and dirt. This is likely to ensure that vehicles have the necessary traction and control on the uneven surface. Caution should be taken to avoid spinning out. Drive safely and slowly
- Penalty for Spinning Out: There is a fine for any vehicles caught spinning out on the gravel road. This emphasizes the importance of careful driving and control while navigating the hilly terrain.
- Noise Level: To be considerate of nearby residents, especially with regards to music, it's advised to keep noise levels low. This helps maintain a peaceful environment and prevents disturbances.
- Respect Private Property: All properties surrounding the two lots are privately owned. Venturing onto these properties is considered trespassing. It's important to respect the boundaries and privacy of neighboring properties.
- Lights Out at 10:00 PM: All outside lights should be turned off at 10:00 PM. This helps maintain a natural environment and avoids unnecessary light pollution, which can be disruptive to wildlife and neighboring residents.
