    The Space:

    Part of the amenity-rich Coosawattee River Resort, this modern cabin is perfect for friends and family. Sip morning coffee on the picture-perfect front porch or curl up with a good book in the sunroom. Host a cookout on the patio then gather round the firepit as the stars come out!

Nice Home

This home is very spacious, so many doors twist and turns but overall great for large groups. It was clean and smelled really nice. The deers was a nice addition to this beautiful property. The Downside is the garage and rooms downstairs were extremely cold and even with the heat all the way up it never really warms up and lastly (this part has no reflection on the property owner or property manager) The caucasian gentleman working the gate was extremely rude to all of us, so my advice to guest of color is to beware of that.

Perfect vacation spot!!

We absolutely loved our time staying at this cabin!! We had 2 families, with a total of 4 young kids, and we had plenty of room! The rooms are very spacious and the open floor plan with the back patio makes it feel even bigger. What we enjoyed most about this cabin is that while it was quiet and really felt like a secluded location, we were close enough to a grocery store, restaurants/bars, and were able to spend some time exploring downtown Blue Ridge! The kids loved the games that were available to play with, and making s’mores in the back yard. Truly the perfect vacation spot!! I highly recommend this cabin for bigger groups and/or families!!

Beautiful Area

The area was beautiful. Lots of deer that come right up to the porch. The house is not as big as it appears in the pictures. It will sleep ten but no way can ten people gather in the living/kitchen area comfortably.

Trip with the Guys

9 of us guys got together to hangout and have a chill weekend. Absolutely perfect place to be with your friends or family and just hangout. The rec is really fun and the staff are super nice. The house has a lot of amenities and things to keep everyone busy. Very comfortable and clean place to stay. Highly recommend. It is also not a tight squeeze for a group of 9 or 10.

It's the little things that count

The house was very clean. The beds were so comfortable. The kitchen utensils plentiful and like new condition. Pump hand soap at every sink, extra dishwasher packs, even real salt and pepper shakers. The deer came to visit each morning. Lovely neighborhood.

Awesome Retreat!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our only drawbacks were probably on us. We had a hard time figuring out which light switch worked what and the beds has a sheet and summer comforter, not really warm enough for December. We got in late Friday night after a wedding and probably just didn’t look hard enough. It was a great place. If we make it back that way, we would definitely book this place again!

The space was roomy and comfortable. If you want to cook, bring your own cookware because the set here was beat up, dirty and in very bad shape. Also, had issues with a toilet running constantly in the master and it wasn’t clear how to get this repaired. Also, suggest that the dozens of light switches be labeled to help cut down on light switch bingo.

Beautiful cabin

The cabin was beautiful. Overall pretty clean. There were some things that could have been cleaner. I did have to contact vacasa to change guest list, which was an unpleasant experience. Took 2 conversations to get it sorted out. Everything else was pretty smooth.

The place was ok but it had some problems. My family was already in Elijay when I received a text that our cabin would not be ready until 5:30 that afternoon. They had not finished cleaning it. I said fine but I expected a later check out because of it. Both of my texts asking for a later check were ignored. The master bathroom lights over the sink does not work.
