About this property
Deer Dreaming Cabin on the Coosawattee River
While relaxing on the huge deck overlooking the river, you will hear the roaring rapids, see the abundance of wildlife and be wowed by the breathtaking views. This 3-bedroom, 3-bath cabin sits on 1 1/2 acres that will give you a rustic feel with modern conveniences. The moderate hike to the river will lead you thru the woods and past many additional river viewing spots. There are two fire pits available to make your smores and memories.
The space
The cabin has 2 bedrooms (2 queen) on the main level and the master (king) upstairs. There is a full basement with a washer/dryer and game rooms. It also has central heat & air. There is a full bathroom on every level and 2 walkout decks overlooking the woods and river. The kitchen has recently (5/2023) been redone with all new cabinets and granite countertops.
Guest access
It is in a gated community with 4 access gates. We recommend coming in the main gate only. It is a huge resort with lots of twisty roads. We are located about 3 miles from that gate with only 5 turns required. Most roads are paved, only the last one is gravel. We have a driveway where you can park next to the house. Additional parking also available within short distance.
The cabin is in a resort, and we will provide 2 access cards to the amenities. Each pass will allow 4 guest in. We have 2 outdoor pools and a rec center with an indoor pool, workout space, tennis courts and putt putt.
Other things to note
We are kid friendly, but not necessarily 100% "kid safe". Our kids are grown so we don't have the special furniture (unless you consider our outdoor swing one). It is on the side of a mountain so the terrain can be steep. We have steps to make it easier and safer. It does have 300 ft of river access. On our side, the river is shallow and great for wading. In the middle, the river flows fast with deep parts so while it's fun to go in, younger kids need to be watched.
