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!
Enjoyed our stay and your beautiful cabin was very clear and had all the comforts of home. The pool and club house are very nice. Hope to return in the future.
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.
Loved the cottage and the layout. Easily accessed and close to check-in gate. Well equipped cabin and lots of deer to feed. Circle driveway & fire pits in front & backyard. Loved the location. Will return! Host was amazing.
Clean and comfortable with nice decor. Loved fireplace! It’s in a good location and easy to go so many places. We went in a different direction each day. It made our anniversary really special. We also had half dozen deer come visit our front yard. Would definitely like to return.
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!!!
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 location. Only a few minutes from town. Cottage was beautiful & clean. Neighborhood is quiet. There were houses close by but we never saw or heard anyone. Deer came right up to the back porch! The drive is easy.. gated entrance to a paved road, to a gravel type road that’s not scary steep or winding. Host is super nice & easy to communicate with. Everything we were looking for in a rental. Will definitely book again on our next trip! 5 stars!
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 !

We absolutely loved The Cottage in the Woods! So peaceful and relaxing. The beds were super comfortable. The amenities were amazing. The hostess had decorated the cabin for Xmas and even left snacks for us in a basket. We highly recommend this cabin and resort and would definitely stay there again.
We had an amazing stay. It was just what we needed to unwind in a hectic world. We watched deer from the patios, cozied up on the couch and had a big kitchen to cook. Everything we needed for a home away from our home. We will be back.
Absolutely beautiful home...comfortable and homey...every thing you need. Quality accommodations.Amazing roadways throughout. So many interesting places to check out..we visited 3 state parks, all beautiful! And..the resort itself offers an abundance of amenities. Would love to visit again. We've never been to this side of Georgia. An awesome surprise!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There was everything that we needed and some. It was easy getting in the gate, with the attendant or calling for entry. We plan on staying here in the future.
