The knotty pine

Fantastic property. Cute cabin right on the Coosawattee river. Michael is a really nice guy who goes above and beyond to ensure his guests are taken care of. We had plenty of room for our stay with 2 adults and 4 teens. The Coosawattee River Resort has plenty to do like fishing, tubing or going to the pool or rec center. There are wineries, apple orchards, hiking trails, waterfalls etc within a short drive. You will love your stay here.
