About this property

Deer River Retreat - River Front, Hot Tub -

STR LICENSE# 003420
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 rec center 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.

Deer River Retreat is just waiting to make your North Georgia getaway experience one that you'll never forget! So don't wait, pack your bags, grab some grub and come on up to experience everything this cabin has to offer.

The cabin was cozy and the listing should really be updated to state 2 master suites because both bedrooms were really master bedrooms. The automatic fireplace was great and the two decks couldn't be beat!

The house was just as advertised! We were 2 couples so having 2 king suites was nice. The house was spacious and clean. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, playing pool, and watching all the deer in the neighborhood. Dog friendly with gates you can use at porch entrance. House was close to lots of fun things to do.

Perfect Getaway

This place was a beautiful getaway for my wife and myself. Great views of the river out the back windows and off the back deck. The fire pit was great for sitting around at night and just enjoying the outdoors. We had deer visit daily, and even had them come within about 10-15 feet while we were sitting outside. We would 100% stay here again.

This was our yearly “friends” cation! It was the perfect stay for the 4 of us! Beautiful riverside cabin that had everything you need to make your time there wonderful! I loved sitting in the top deck looking at the river every morning! And of course the pool table and hot tub are awesome touches to the cabin. Check in was stress free and check out the same

Property was beautiful and quiet

We really loved our stay here, got away from everything and even our children were peaceful. There are houses close by, but it was still felt very secluded. The river is gorgeous, the hot tub was a favorite. There is SO MUCH wildlife! Deer and geese every day!

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.

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!

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 !

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!

Great Stay

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.

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.
