We're glad to hear you and your family enjoyed your stay at Deer Hideaway! Thank you for being great guests - we look forward to seeing you back soon!
The cabin was as pictures showed. Spacious and clean with plenty of activities. The foosball table and pool table kept the grandkids occupied when we weren’t out and about. We have stayed at Coosawatee before and this cabin moved to the top of our list. The hosts were very easy to get a hold of and very responsive.

We are so glad to hear you enjoyed the cabin and your stay at Coosawattee this fall! Thank you for being great guests, you are welcome back anytime!
Three generations enjoyed a brief getaway in Ellijay. Plenty of room for us. Very quiet location (except for occasional barking dog next door). Owners were very attentive. One note: after sundown, the living and dining areas are quite dark—perhaps a couple of torchiere lamps could be added. Loved the outdoor fire ring and seating!

We're glad to hear you and your family had a wonderful time at the cabin! We appreciate your kind suggestion - we have now added an additional floor lamp in the living room. Thank you for choosing Deer Hideaway, we hope to see you and your family back again soon!
Place was as advertised. Loved talking to all the pretty ladies, I mean deer! Perfect set up for 9 adults and even more if the kids were little. Only adventures we had were the remote controls controlling the ceiling fans in both the Master and Living room. Great little welcome gift was a great touch. Would definitely do it again!

We were so happy to hear that you had a wonderful stay at Deer Hideaway. I’m glad your family was able to enjoy all the deer watching in the mountains! We truly appreciate you being so great with communication. We would love to have you back anytime.
Once again, thank you for joining our Deer Hideaway family!
Deer Hideaway is the PERFECT name for this stay! If you want to see deer, you will...EVERY day...without fail. The first morning we were there, we drove out to Dunkin for breakfast and passed (that we counted) 36 deer from our door to the guard gate!!! Being from Florida, this was heavenly for us! My 11 and 13 year old really enjoyed the pool table downstairs. It was very easy to communicate with the owners, and we used the amenities pass, which was very nice.
The cabin could have been better stocked and a bit cleaner, but overall, we had a wonderful stay!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Happy to hear your children enjoyed seeing the deer, we hope you'll consider us again in the future!
The cabin was nice. Beware of the driveway leading up to the cabin as it is steep. The biggest issue we had is that the TV's are very old. They do not allow you to add apps so that you can stream apps like YouTube TV. There is no cable or satellite either. So we were unable to watch traditional TV. Also, the pool table in the basement, is not full size. I will say that the owner was very responsive when I reached out for assistance. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but the TV's need upgrading.

Thank you for your feedback! We are thankful we were able to help regarding the TVs during your stay, as most commonly used apps such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, HboMax, and local channel streaming apps such as FuboTv, Sling, etc are available for your use at the cabin. We are happy you were able to enjoy your mountain getaway during this fall season as the changing fall colors are simply wonderful this time of year. Connecting with nature is such a blessing! Again, thank you for choosing Deer Hideaway and we hope to have you visit again!
Renting of property was easy. The owners replied immediately to our requests. Cabin is exactly as illustrated on website. Very large and roomy cabin. Loved being able to see deer in front yard.

About the host
Hosted by Akki
My wife and I live in Johns Creek, GA with our son. We love traveling, and exploring new places. We fell in love with the North Georgia mountain town of Ellijay, while searching for a cozy, relaxing getaway from the stresses of everyday life. Ellijay has so much to offer - tubing, kayaking, fishing, apple picking, hiking, just to name a few.
We love our mountain cabin, and can't wait to share it with you! We are not local, but will be accessible 24/7 for any needs that may arise.
