You can walk down to the river, sit and relax and watch the tubers go by.
This is the view from the back porch. The sound of the rapids is better.
Deer are always visiting. Sometimes it's a dozen at a time.
Park right outside the front door.
Cabin with all the modern conveniences.

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.
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 river access and the river flows fast with deep parts so while it's fun to go in, younger kids need to be watched.

Peaceful & Relaxing
My mom and her cousin spent a long weekend at the cabin. They enjoyed their time sitting on the porch listening to the water, reading, and watching numerous deer. The back porch contains a lot of comfortable seating, as does the family room indoors. The hosts provided some chocolates as well as condiments in the fridge which was an extra nice touch. The only addition they would request to this cabin is some nonslip mats for the showers for those that are older. They had a fabulous time and will be going back next year.

Great mountain cabin
The cabin was clean and stocked with everything we needed. There are also river floats and pump available. The owner also leaves some corn to feed the deer that come by the cabin. The river area is a little rocky in some areas but there’s a nice sandy area that you can put in chairs and relax! The river is my favorite part of this rental! The water is less than knee deep in a good sized area where the current is nice and slow. On the other side of the river, it is deeper with a faster current. To get down to the river is a walkway through the woods with some stairs (about 5 or six flights), with areas in between that are dirt with some areas of uneven ground with some large tree roots. I actually like the walk down to the river 😜 but it is definitely not for people that can’t walk/ hike in uneven terrain. There’s so much to do in the surrounding area! We went apple picking and went to some wineries. Our dog loves it here, and so do we!
