Deer River Lodge

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Set on two-and-a-half wooded acres with 200-feet of riverfront property, this spectacular lodge is ideal for your next large family vacation in the North Georgia mountain town of Ellijay. Take in views of the Coosawattee River from every room of this two-story, four-bedroom vacation rental as well as off the furnished deck complete with a wood-burning fireplace, or from the lower deck that boasts a private hot tub.

Inside, prepare everyone's favorite recipes in the upscale, island kitchen with stainless steel appliances (including three ovens) and gorgeous granite countertops. Enjoy formal meals or family game nights at the large dining table for up to 10 guests, or head outside to the patio for an al fresco dining experience at the table with six chairs. Back inside meet up in the main living area to watch TV in the glow of one of three gas fireplaces found throughout the home.

Upstairs, kick back in the furnished loft to watch TV or play Ms. Pac-Man at the cocktail-style arcade game. An adjacent family room includes another TV, a pool table, coffee bar, and a convenient mini fridge.

For outdoor fun, take the steps down to the custom-built firepit near the river, or cast a line and fish directly off the dock. For even more adventure, go tubing or kayaking right from your yard with the provided kayaks or two-person tubes, or head over to the community club house to enjoy the many deluxe amenities offered through the Coosawattee River Resort including indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center, mini golf course, arcade, and sports courts.

Carolyn F.

High expectations, dissapointing results.
Good view, nicely decorated and room to spread out. That is the only positive thing that can be said about this property. Most of the features that sold my family on this property for were not provided or broken, which left my kids' quite disappointed. Arcade machine broken, hot tub with brown smelly film, no tubes provided or firewood starter pack provided as promised. The bed spread was not cleaned, and after a long day of travel, we crawled into a urine soaked bedding. Vacasa was responsive t I that ussue and sent out new sheets same day which was a holiday. Good appliances available in kitchen but pans falling apart and no good utensils for food prep. I would not stay here again.

You won't regret this choice
This place was very nice with beautiful views! We had plenty of room for our family of ten. It was awesome to see deer daily around the property and the water views from every window was very relaxing. You must say hi to the friendly neighbor dog Jersey! She came to visit us every day. We used the fire pit as well as the fireplace outside on the porch, which were very nice for us to gather around on chilly evenings. We could have used additional wood as we had fires all four nights, but some wood was provided. Family members did test the frigid water for a polar plunge and then to the hot tub to warm up! The kayaks were a nice touch at the dock area (lots of stairs) and our adult sons used them. I wouldn’t let children try them though as the current is strong. The kitchen was fully equipped with many appliances and utensils (we cooked most meals). The only thing we were missing was a countertop dish drainer. We had a few minor maintenance issues and the local Vacasa staff was prompt in dispatching Heath to address them. The gas fireplaces in the home were also a nice touch. The pool table upstairs was used and enjoyed daily. We are a TV-watching family when relaxing at bedtime and it would have been nice to have a television in each bedroom; only one had this feature. Overall, I would highly recommend Deer River Lodge. We hope to return for another visit later in the year to enjoy all the outside activities in the towns nearby.

Incredible view! Beautiful home!
My experience in Ellijay, Georgia at the Deer River Lodge was nothing short of amazing. The view of the river from the living room and bedrooms was breathtaking. The fireplace on the back porch was a great way to spend an evening with friends taking in the spectacular view of the flowing river. Every corner of this beautiful house was decorated with tasteful furnishings that complement the natural beauty outside. The attention to detail in the decor added a touch of luxury to the cozy, relaxed ambiance. The house was impeccably clean which made the stay even more enjoyable. I would recommend anyone looking for the perfect blend of nature, comfort, and beauty to stay here. This house was perfect in every way.

Magnificent home on the river!
My family and I vacation in Ellijay or Blue ridge every year. Our stay at Deer River lodge was by far the best experience of any home we’ve ever stayed at. The river views from every room in the house are spectacular and the roar of the river is impressive!! The chefs kitchen is stocked with every possible appliance & gadget you could possibly ask for which made nightly dinners home a delight. The furniture in the house is just beautiful and it’s obvious it was professionally decorated. The 4 huge bedrooms in the house provided plenty of privacy for the 12 of us while also the upstairs family/game room, living and dining room was large enough for us all to congregate for family fun. In addition the multiple outdoor patio areas off of every room was ideal for the evenings next to the fireplace, lounging or for dining Al fresco. We also spent a lot of time down by the river enjoying the fire pit and the eight person jacuzzi which was so relaxing and fun. An abundance of deer visited nightly and so did many chipmunks and squirrels which we all loved. Our week in this home with our friends and family was truly magical! We already booked our return vacay here next year!
