We had an amazing stay at this beautiful mountain house.  It easily accommodated 3 families with plenty of room to spread out.  The kids loved to game room to spread out. The kids loved the game room/loft area  It was close to downtown Ellijay and some great wineries.  Alex was very responsive whenever we had a question and checked in on us by text a couple of times.  I would not hesitate to recommend this place and hope to visit again in the future.

This was our second stay here and once again, we felt right at home.  The cabin is beautiful, exceptionally clean, and located in a beautiful resort area with lots of wildlife, and nearby Downtown Ellijay.  Alex is an amazing host and is so responsive and helpful. We will be back again soon!

It was a last minute search, and thanks for the accommodations.  Just hated that there was a burn ban during our stay and we couldn't use the firepit. The cabin itself was wonderful with lots of fun things to do. with the family.  I would definitely recommend it!

 Wonderful cabin and beautiful location. Loft worked great for kids. Pullout couch was kinda uncomfortable. Only issue we had that was negative was that hot tub was not working during time of our stay but otherwise a great location and host was readily available for any questions.

Thank you for the feedback! I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but due to it being the weekend, the repair part was not available. The spa specialist showed up on Monday to diagnose the problem & they diagnosed and repaired the failed heating element.

We enjoyed the cabin very much, specially the fire pit and how quiet and calm the area was. We enjoyed going out for walks by the river and loved the Christmas decorations. The place was great for our group of 16, the kitchen had everything we needed.   We loved our stay and had a great time! Also thanks for the baby chair and pack and play, I think this is what made us choose your place!

Amazing stay at Deerwoodslodge.com for our family.  Ample room for the 13 of us to enjoy.  Very peaceful area and so relaxing.  Although it is the end of December, family members enjoyed the hot tub. We were excited about the deer which came to the front of the home to visit us.  We all talked about the home setup which offers everything you could think of for a mountain getaway.  Thanks Alex for the beautiful Christmas tree, staircase setting and formal table settings.  We were really impressed.  I hope that my family could possibly return for a summer gathering, as it appears the community recreation center offers activities for such occasions.  This was a holiday for us to remember.

We met up with the family for an early Christmas celebration.  The DeerWoodsLodge.com cabin was very well appointed and beautifully decorated for Christmas!  Our whole family had a wonderful time.  Our host Alex was very responsive.  We needed some extra firewood and more was delivered right away.  We would highly recommend this listing.

 We had an absolute amazing time! Alex was very responsive home had everything we needed & it was clean! Everything was close by. Roads took a minute to get use to o. They are very curvy! But if you’re the driver it’s much different! Nothing but beautiful views and the deer 🦌 were beautiful and very sweet! Close to a lot of things to do, hiking, stores, restaurants, fast food, movie theater, stores, you name it! We definitely would stay here again!

We had a wonderful time at the cabin! In addition to enjoying a lot of college football, the fire pit was the big winner for us. We sat around it both Friday and Saturday catching up with each other and enjoying our company together.  One of the guys recently lost his wife , so in addition to having a great time, it was a time of healing for him.  All in all, it's a wonderful place that I will recommending others!

DeerWoodsLodge.com is in a peaceful location surrounded by woods and deer.  The cabin was clean, spacious. and comfortable.  Alex provided welcome snacks, deer food, and a book complete with restaurants, hiking trails, and nearby attractions.  He contacted me ahead of time to give me check-in information and quickly responded to messages.  This was the perfect cabin for our family and was close to everything needed.  Thanks for a fantastic home away from home for our Thanksgiving. Everything was perfect!

House was very nice and well stocked. We had a few minor problems but Alex was extremely responsive and helpful and everything went fine. The listing was accurate. There are 4 bedrooms and a sofa bed room and a large loft. Two of the bedrooms and the sofabed room are connected in a row so you have to pass through one to get to the other. All in all it was a great rental and I would recommend it without reservation.

The location is amazing! Tons of trees and in the woods but close enough to others to not be freaked out. Deer EVERYWHERE!!! They even provided deer food which was nice and the kids loved! The home was nice and cozy! Family gathered and laughed and it was great! The host was very kind and accommodated in such last minute since we were evacuating from the hurricane! I would for sure go back even if there isn’t a hurricane!

Well set up to host a large group, the layout was ideal for us. The kitchen was well stocked, everything felt very clean ( as this is a priority). The host was responsive and went out of his way to ensure we had a wonderful stay. There was several things to do within the area for a large group looking for outdoor adventure- Amicalola Creek ( 50 minutes) Clear Creek to Cartecay River ( 25 minutes) and Cartecay River Experience ( 20 minutes). There’s also a park right outside the subdivision that we played kickball and soccer at nightly. We never ended up using the amenities as they do take some time to get to. However, the cabin itself offered plenty of entertainment with plenty of games, fire pit and hot tub. We often had deer visits as well. The neighborhood is incredibly quiet as well ( never heard anything). The only thing to note is the roads in the neighborhood are steep and windy ( we had a minivan). It took this Florida girl some time to adjust.

Nice cabin, all as described & well equipped. It's about a 15 minute drive from the resort entrance to the cabin.  There are some some steep and windy roads that are all mostly paved depending on which of the 3 entrances and exits you use.  Get your groceries before you head in.

Family first vacation, and to be able to stay in your lovely home made it even more special!  Having all of us under one roof was just what we wanted!  The large family dinner table for meals and board games hosted several nights of laughter and memory making for us!  The amazing fire pit hosted a first roasted marshmallow experience to almost 22 month old!  We all enjoyed the deer and tossed corn to them from the balcony-so fun!  Thank you for making your beautiful home available so we and others can make amazing memories to last a lifetime!

 Alex was an incredible host. Extremely responsive and friendly. He has a prepared booklet of things to do in the area and other great suggestions. The check-out list made the process a breeze. We had 2 couples and 10 teenagers and we fit in the place with ease. The boys brushed up on their poker skills, the girls fed the deer that came at all hours of the day (the host even provided bags of feed for the deer!), and we all enjoyed the campfire and amenities. Putt putt golf and pickleball were the favs. The house was fully stocked.  Thank you for the great detail you put into your rental. It made for a great family spring break the kids won’t forget.   Highly recommend.

We booked Alex’s DeerWoodsLodge.com cabin for a small wedding (17 guests, 12 that stayed overnight). My husband I went up Thursday and were amazed by how warm and inviting the place was! It looks very similar to the one we are building just a few miles away and the decor was nearly identical to what we have purchased for our new home.
We took 2 tubs of decorations, as well as tableware, glasses, cleaning supplies and brought food and incidentals. We did not unpack half of a tub of our items (pictures, sentimental “Knick knacks” and flowers) everything else was there and went with our rustic theme.
When they say only bring your clothes and what you plan on eating believe it!!!
The cabinets were full of nice white dishware as well as plates for kids. There were 2 full cabinets of assorted cups and glasses and a cabinet full of spices and seasonings. We had an abundance of towels including large ones for the hot tub. If you were planning a special event or vacation this is the place!!!
PS. Feed the deer💍🦌💖

 Alex was a wonderful host and this rental was absolutely beautiful! It accommodated our large family and was a great place for us to gather and connect. The house was clean and perfectly stocked, all we needed was the food we were cooking. The loft with all the games was perfect for all ages. A pleasant surprise was that the house was already decorated for the holidays! Alex provided prompt communication and went above and beyond my expectations with the customer service he provided when I informed him of a very minor inconvenience. The community was sprawling and the wildlife was abundant. I would absolutely book this house again and recommend this rental to anyone looking for a great getaway!

It was absolutely great having our three kids with their kids at DeerWoodsLodge.com. The cousins getting to spend time together was enjoyable. Feeding the deer and the fire pit were the favorites. We live beachside in Florida so the winding roads and all the wooden terrain made for an exciting time. Highly recommended for a little getaway.

I just can’t put into words what a wonderful property this is. We had an amazing experience at the DeerWoodsLodge.com cabin! Everything was so cozy and clean, it felt like a home away from home. The details to everything made it extra special. The loft was stocked with lots of games, setting a great atmosphere for family bonding. The hot tub was clean, and the fire pit was stocked with a wood supply making it amazing! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals together. Every bed was comfortable and had a heated blanket which allowed for a great night’s sleep. The owner was fantastic, keeping in great communication with us. The attention to detail from the adorable treats left for us upon arrival and amazing organized cabin book with details about the cabin, resort, and fun things to see and do in and around town, to the toiletries in the restrooms, and beach towels left for use with the hot tub! We highly recommend this cabin to our family and friends, and also to our own future brides and grooms at our wedding venue we own in this town also, you won't be disappointed, rent this cabin today for your family get away!

This DeerWoodsLodge.com home was perfect for our large group, including multiple children and adults. The space was well thought out. The kids loved the loft area with arcade games and space for them to spread out and enjoy themselves. The kitchen was well appointed with all the necessary cooking instruments for making meals for a large group. There was even a little coffee area where they provided a handful of pods for the Keurig, which really came in handy.

The fire pit was great to sit around in the chilly evening, and we were so grateful for the abundance of firewood provided. It was perfect for making s’more's.  The community itself had plenty of activities to entertain everyone of all ages. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!
