About this property

Buck Valley Lodge Home for 12

Summary:

Escape to the peaceful beauty of the North Georgia Mountains at Buck Valley Lodge, a cozy cabin retreat within Coosawattee River Resort just minutes from the charming shops, wineries, orchards, and scenic trails surrounding Ellijay. Whether you’re here for seasonal festivals, waterfall hikes, or quiet evenings on the porch, this mountain getaway makes the perfect home base for embracing the slower pace and natural beauty of this beloved region.



The Space:

Step inside and feel immediately welcomed by the lodge’s warm, wood-accented living space, where tall ceilings and tree-lined views create a sense of openness and calm. A plush couch and loveseat gather around the indoor fireplace and smart TV—an inviting spot for relaxing after a day of mountain adventure. The kitchen and dining area sit just beyond, offering black countertops, warm cabinetry, and plenty of room to cook and share meals at the table for six. For fun and entertainment, head down to the basement game room where a pool table and second smart TV set the scene for friendly competition. A loft upstairs provides yet another place to unwind, outfitted with a sitting chair, futon, and smart TV—making it easy to use as its own cozy bedroom or simply a quieter hangout nook when you need a moment to yourself.



Of course, life in the mountains is best enjoyed outdoors, and Buck Valley Lodge doesn’t disappoint. Fire up the grill for dinner with a view, soak in the private hot tub as the sun dips behind the ridges, or gather around the fire pit to toast s’mores under a blanket of stars. With mountain scenery all around, every moment here feels like a chance to slow down and savor the fresh air.

Tucked into the rolling foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Ellijay and the surrounding North Georgia region offer a serene, storybook escape filled with natural beauty, small-town charm, and year-round outdoor adventure. Known as Georgia’s Apple Capital, Ellijay bursts to life each autumn with harvest festivals, cider tastings, and farm visits, while nearby Blue Ridge adds boutique shopping, cozy cafés, and panoramic train rides through the mountains. Outdoor lovers can spend their days hiking scenic trails to waterfalls, kayaking the Cartecay River, fishing mountain streams, or exploring endless forest roads that lead to sweeping overlooks. When winter settles in, the mountains trade their colorful canopy for misty mornings and crackling fireplaces, while spring and summer invite travelers to wineries, farm-to-table restaurants, and hillside vineyards where tastings come with ridge-top views. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or a little of both, North Georgia makes it wonderfully easy to slow down, breathe deep, and enjoy mountain living at its finest.

The deer were a hit. The river was awesome. The home had enough room for us not to be cramped. Wish the area for the pool table was bigger. Still a great get away.

This was a very charming home with 4 bedrooms on 3 floors. We had 9 people staying and am happy to report the space was laid out well and felt roomy, the kitchen was well appointed with all the staple tools I needed, and everything seemed clean. This house is part of the coosawattee (?) Resort so there is also access to a pool, mini golf, tennis, and other amenities (this wasn't clear to me from the listing but IMO a big bonus). There is also the fact that you are near hiking and some town events. The location was overall gorgeous. you should be prepared for a little gravel road driving up and down steep hills. We had a great time and would love to return in the future. Thanks for an enjoyable stay!
