Beautiful Cabin with all the essentials. Jacuzzi, Fire Pit, BBQ, Two large Decks overlooking the river, Pool Table and many games. A lot of Deers and Squirrel's. Very Peaceful.
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
I took my wife here for her birthday. Totally amazing!! We had hotdogs and s’mores at the fire pit. There were deer everywhere and geese on the river. We will definitely go back.
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 !
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!
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.
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.
Directions to the property were precise and very necessary! The gate attendant asked for a "reservation number" which we did not have, but figured it out based on our name and property number, which had been supplies. The cabin was an older home but well-maintained and the layout of bedrooms and kitchen were perfect. Neighboring homes were quite close but still enjoyed being right on the river.Kitchen pots and pans were very worn and knives were really dull. Since we stayed in and cooked a lot, that was annoying. I should have remembered my knife sharpener! Otherwise a very pleasant stay! Loved the outdoor decks and porches!
Great spot for a family get away. Hot tub was nice to relax in with the river in the background. rooms were spacious and the game room loft was fun for all.
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!
We loved this property. The inside was spacious and had a pool table. Outside, we enjoyed the hot tub, river, and fire pit. We will definitely be back!
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.
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.
A few issues with the blinds of the home not working. Otherwise the property was exactly as advertised. Great location on the river with all the comforts of home.
Great house on the river! The house met all our needs and was exactly as advertised. My kids loved being in the hot tub with a view of the water. Would definitely recommend for a family of 4.
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!
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.
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!
