Cozy and inviting!
My family has been staying in vacation rentals for over 20 years and this is absolutely one of the best homes we've ever stayed at! It was so inviting, cozy, comfy, relaxing, clean, and well-appointed. Mattresses were plush and very comfy, hall bath has a handheld shower head, and kitchen has great range of cookware and appliances. Chris was easy and prompt to communicate with and has thought of everything to ensure a comfy and relaxing stay for her guests! We stayed 5 nights and didn't want to leave! Wonderful experience and would absolutely highly recommend and we eagerly hope to return in the future!

Great stay, the home is clean, beds comfortable and we felt instantly at home. We enjoyed the neighborhood amenities like fishing in the pond and river and swimming in the pools. We plan to stay again!

Deer Galore
We enjoyed our stay at Coosawatti River Resort very much. The VRBO unit was beautiful and very accommodating. I have never seen so many deer in one community. Each evening we would see ten to twenty roaming around freely in our yard and the surrounding area. It was the perfect blend of country and community. We enjoyed visiting the towns nearby and had a great time picking blueberries at a nearby orchard. We ate delicious food at local spots and highly recommend Southern Charm in Blue Ridge. Our host was great and took care of all our needs. We can't wait to return ! WD, Jacksonville

Mountain trip with our mom
My sister and I brought our mother (79 and does not see) to The Cottage In The Woods and loved everything about the house. The house was so clean and decorated with wonderful taste. Kitchen was our favorite. Stocked with everything to cook with ease and still be able to visit with family in the living room. Loved the screened in porch and all the deer every night. Would recommend to anyone wanting a quiet place close to Ellijay!!!

Charming cottage
We stay in Ellijay every year and this cabin is by far our favorite. The decor is charming and it is very well equipped. Christine was awesome and answered all of our questions quickly. We spent a lot of time visiting the winery’s in the area….Ott is especially nice. We enjoyed our stay so much we booked again for later in the year.

Peaceful
This property is in a very quiet resort area. I think we saw two people in 3 days. House was very comfortable and just a short drive away from Elijay First time as a VRBO customer and process was very easy.

Cozy Cabin
This was my 1st experience with VRBO and Christine did not fail to make it a memorable. I came across this listing and loved the aesthetic. The cabin looks just as good in person. Chris put a lot of thoughtful touches on the place and even built a teepee. The location is not far from downtown Ellijay. This cabin is great for a small family. More than likely this will be my go to cabin throughout the year.
