It was a great place to stay. We stayed 5 nights in October and loved it. Deer are everywhere and you must watch for them on the roads. I had one eating out of my hand. Thanks for supplying the mineral pellets for them. The house was beautiful and very clean. Wonderfully laid out for 2 couples or a couple with children. We loved everything about the cabin. Roads were very easily but slowly traveled. The host was very responsive and helpful. Great place to stay.

The cabin was beautiful. The drive to the cabin is a little windy but not horrible. The deer were plentiful around the whole resort.

This is our second stay here; we came last year and knew we wanted to come back. You won’t find a cleaner or more pristine cabin or nicer accommodations anywhere. The decor is lovely and the kitchen is stocked with anything you could need. You will want to feed the deer from the upper covered porch, so bring a bag of deer corn. Be sure to visit the Pink Pig. Their brisket tacos are delish!

This was the best cabin I have ever booked! It’s well stocked and clean! The beds are super comfy, having 2 master suites was perfect for our party. The deer are everywhere and feeding them was an extra fun bonus! We loved our stay! It’s conveniently located to lots of attractions with a short drive.

Very nice cabin!

My family and I just stayed here and we were so impressed! Everything is so nice and the owners really thought of everything. They were very thoughtful on what they left for the guests to use. Also, the deer are so friendly, they came right up to us and even ate out of our hands! We will be staying again!

What an amazing stay at this beautiful cabin. Very well appointed decor throughout the place! We loved feeding the deer by hand, sitting on the balcony and relaxing listening to the nature all around us! Best was soaking in the master tub and melting all my stress away! Quaint downtown with yummy food and wonderful shops!! Absolutely stunning so go book your next vacation here!

This property was exactly what we were looking for for this vacation. It was located centrally. We were able to do kayaking, Whitewater, rafting, and local wineries. The property was clean. And the deer were all around us. It was absolutely wonderful. It was close to local restaurants and shopping.

Awesome

From the moment we walked in to when we had to leave we loved this home and everything about it. The layout, furnishings,the extra touches and very well stocked with anything you might need. The back deck is amazing and that’s where we spent a lot of our time. Although it’s in a resort area it seems like you’re there alone, very peaceful. We will be back.

We enjoyed our stay so much! The cabin was lovely. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked and had everything you may need. The back porch was so nice and relaxing. Just sitting on the porch looking at the gorgeous Fall colored leaves, and listening to the little creek run was just what we needed! We also enjoyed watching the deer. My husband loved feeding the deer with the deer food that was provided. We just loved everything about the cabin and our trip. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!We would definitely love to come back again! Mike and Sherri

Best Cabin In 54 years!

Beautiful cabin; it was a well thought out floor plan. Cabin was supplied with anything you could possibly need. Deck was tree top high. We fed 50 lbs. of apple deer corn to the deer. One evening we had 13 deer. Hope we get a chance to return.

Excellent Cabin but Difficult Drive In & Out of Resort

Rustic Elegance was exactly as advertised; a beautiful cabin with a great floorplan and a luxury deck. Traveling in and out of the resort and within the resort can be frustrating even with the best GPS. Resort roads and both paved and graveled, very narrow with curves and elevation changes and abundant wildlife, especially deer, on the property. Allow extra time for traveling in and out of the resort to points of interest and for traveling within the resort.

Hello Tom, Thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful review of Rustic Elegance. We're glad to hear that the cabin itself met your expectations with its beautiful design and luxurious deck. We truly appreciate your understanding and patience regarding the challenges of navigating the resort roads. The narrow, winding paths and local wildlife can certainly make travel a bit more demanding, and your advice to allow extra time is very helpful for future guests. We hope that despite these travel considerations, you were able to enjoy a relaxing and memorable stay. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if we can assist you with anything for your next visit. We look forward to welcoming you back!

Beautiful quiet home nestled in the woods

Gorgeous home. Beautifully decorated with large bedrooms/bathrooms and comfortable beds. Lovely back deck to sit and enjoy nature and all the deer that would walk by. Sometimes stopping to eat (food provided). Games to play provided as well. Took advantage of the putt putt golf at the rec center. If we had more time we would have used the pool and other amenities offered. Oversell wonderful stay.

Best place for family in Ellijay!!!

Rustic elegance is the best place in Ellijay! I’ve stayed in a lot of vacation properties and this place is amazing. we live about 90 min away in Atlanta area and this was the perfect getaway for our family. If you were looking to find sometime to disconnect and enjoy the outdoors this place is for you. The home is beautifully decorated and in pristine condition. it was comfortable for our family of six. One of our favorite features of the home is the back porch and the fireplace. You will make some great memories and be back to visit and make it our regular get away in Ellijay.

The home was exactly as in the pictures. Inside the home was very clean. Unfortunately, the back porch had not been cleaned. We had to blow the back porch and wash the chairs ourselves in order to sit out and enjoy the fireplace. The sheets were paper thin and when we removed the sheets the mattress cover was urine stained. I have a picture I can share. We were only given one washcloth per person which was disappointing. We would stay again however I would bring my own sheets.

Rustic Elegance is a perfect name for this cabin!

Stayed for a quick weekend trip- cabin totally exceeded our expectations with location, style, comfort, and amenities. House is amazingly decorated and every piece in that cabin was thoughtfully selected. Cabin had everything that we needed; from kitchenware, coffee, towels, toiletries, blow dryer, makeup remover.. list goes on and on. The back porch and view was peaceful and beautiful. Great place to have my morning coffee next to the outside fireplace. Our favorite part was that there was a surprise jar of deer feed to give to the local deer, who were happy to be fed and apparently very hungry! Really added a personal, fun touch to this cabin-life. Can’t wait to go back!

This was our first visit and stay in the Coosawattee River Resort. The cabin facility was exactly as advertised; new with a great floorplan and a deck that was beautiful. The amenities offered by the host were very nice. We had four wonderful and comfortable nights at the cabin. What we did not expect was the size and difficulty of traveling in and out of the resort as well as traveling within the resort. It is massive with four different access gates. Even with GPS, it is difficult to move easily from place to place. The resort is full of beauty and wildlife, especially deer, making travel within the resort that much slower.
