Perfectly Named
Deer Hideaway is the PERFECT name for this stay! If you want to see deer, you will...EVERY day...without fail. The first morning we were there, we drove out to Dunkin for breakfast and passed (that we counted) 36 deer from our door to the guard gate!!! Being from Florida, this was heavenly for us! My 11 and 13 year old really enjoyed the pool table downstairs. It was very easy to communicate with the owners, and we used the amenities pass, which was very nice.
The cabin could have been better stocked and a bit cleaner, but overall, we had a wonderful stay!

3 night getaway
Three generations enjoyed a brief getaway in Ellijay. Plenty of room for us. Very quiet location (except for occasional barking dog next door). Owners were very attentive. One note: after sundown, the living and dining areas are quite dark—perhaps a couple of torchiere lamps could be added. Loved the outdoor fire ring and seating!

Fall getaway
The cabin was nice. Beware of the driveway leading up to the cabin as it is steep. The biggest issue we had is that the TV's are very old. They do not allow you to add apps so that you can stream apps like YouTube TV. There is no cable or satellite either. So we were unable to watch traditional TV. Also, the pool table in the basement, is not full size. I will say that the owner was very responsive when I reached out for assistance. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but the TV's need upgrading.

Deer Hideaway stay
The cabin was as pictures showed. Spacious and clean with plenty of activities. The foosball table and pool table kept the grandkids occupied when we weren’t out and about. We have stayed at Coosawatee before and this cabin moved to the top of our list. The hosts were very easy to get a hold of and very responsive.

Deer Hideaway = Perfect for us
Place was as advertised. Loved talking to all the pretty ladies, I mean deer! Perfect set up for 9 adults and even more if the kids were little. Only adventures we had were the remote controls controlling the ceiling fans in both the Master and Living room. Great little welcome gift was a great touch. Would definitely do it again!
