Beautiful mountian cabin nestled in the woods of the Coosawatee River Resort. Enjoy a deck slide, hot tub, fire pit, game room and deer watching from the deck. Sleep comfortably for up to 8 guests, 3 full bathrooms & a kitchen equipped with all cooking needs! Community amenities- 3 pools, arcade, fitness center, tennis, basketball, pickleball, putt putt, riverside parks & playgrounds. We’re located in the heart of Ellijay and 25 min to Blue Ridge. Designed with families, couples & friends getaways in mind. Looking for that cozy cuddle-up cabin in the woods with all the comforts of home? This is the mountain escape you've been looking for! We affectionately call it the ‘Off Duty Deer Cabin’ because the deer are plentiful and the rest & relaxation are easy to come by after a fun-filled day exploring the beautiful Blue Ridge area.
The cabin has 2BR/3BA + loft that sleeps 8 guests. We have a King bedroom upstairs with an en-suite bathroom with shower and tub.

The upper deck has a gorgeous wooded view including patio seating, rocking chairs, and a ring toss game. It makes the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or wine from one of the many local vineyards.
A Porch swing is located under the deck which makes for great deer watching and taking in the fresh mountain air.

We’re located in the beautiful Coosawattee River Resort that offers access to a year-round indoor heated pool, kiddie pool, 2 outdoor pools seasonally, arcade room, tennis, basketball and pickle ball courts with provided equipment, putt putt, and picnic areas, playground, walking trails and best of all the Coosawatee River all within driving distance from the cabin. Guests bring your own water gear to enjoy access to the Coosawattee River.
A catch and release pond in the community is a 10 minute drive away so we keep two poles and tackle for you to use.
There is parking for up to 4 vehicles under the carport and driveway. It’s all paved roads to get to our cabin.
And one of the best parts is the beautiful nature that surrounds us including the deer that roam freely around the property. We’re not called the ‘Off Duty Deer’ for nothing.

This property was fantastic, and perfect for our family trip! Everything was perfect from start to finish, and a lot of details were used to show you everything you need to know about the cabin. We loved the deer sightings, and fed them regularly. We highly recommend this cabin to others looking for a relaxing getaway!
This property was incredible!! The location was perfect; we felt very secluded, but not completely off the grid. The fire pit and hot tub were amazing, and we loved the deer that visited every morning. Communication with the owner was great, and the overall experience was a 10/10!!
We enjoyed out stay with our kids and parents for fall break. This cabin fulfilled all of our needs and then some. Our 2 kids loved the game room, our parents loved the main floor bedroom, and all of our needs were met. We absolutely loved getting visits from the deer! Hosts even provided some deer corn. A possible suggestion for a cozier stay would be lamps in the living room for softer lighting. Other than that, no complaints! Would recommend to others.
My family had a blast at this large cabin in the woods. The community amenities were a nice perk. There was plenty of room for our five kids ages 5-14 to spread out and not annoy each other too much! Everything was clean and comfortable. We ran into one snafu when the Roku remote did not work. The owners had one delivered to us the very next day and included some treats for our inconvenience. All in all it was a great trip at an awesome place.
We had a great stay! It was SO clean and there were many fun amenities. We used the indoor pool at the rec center (bring your own towels!), the hot tub, and the little slide off the porch! There are truly so many deer and our kids loved watching them! There was an issue with the hot tub not heating but the owner was very prompt with addressing the issue. We didn’t realize that the twin beds were a loft and not a true bedroom like it says on the listing title but further down it does state that it’s a loft just as FYI for those needing a true third bedroom. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay again!
Wonderful time for all ages. If you don't like deer, it's not the place for you. Kids can't get bored with the game room and outdoors. House was perfect....the owners have thought of everything
What a beautiful home on a beautiful property and a perfect escape for two Florida families! The basement and all the games were perfect for the kids. We spent SO much time in the river, navigating the creeks, fishing with the kids, and hiking trails. The number of deer and the drive up is just gorgeous! We so appreciated all the little extras in the kitchen when we were cooking!
Micaela was so responsive and amazing when i had to shift plans and change guest names, she made everything super easy.
The place is obviously newly renovated and everything was beautiful. It was so homey and cozy enough for everyone to veg out in their own spaces.
You must stay here. You will love it. 🥰
The cabin is great for families. Very spacious and roomy. They have thought of everything to accommodate. The kitchen had a lot of helpful utensils as we had Thanksgiving dinner there. It was perfect. The game room was very entertaining for our girls. They loved the ping pong table and dart board. The fire pit was awesome for cooking S'mores and hot dogs. We loved watching the deer. They are everywhere. We actually bought more deer corn to feed them. Overall, I would definitely stay again. The hosts were great communicators as well! A+ stay!
More than we were expecting for our weekend getaway.
Loved that the place was stocked with everything we needed as far as linens, towels and dinnerware. Even had flashlights when the power went off from the storm. The host was so cordial and seemed eager to help with anything. We were just planning to get away for a stress free weekend and this place delivered!!! Thank you so much!!!
