The Villas at Coosawattee River Resort

We were only planning to stay one night on a business trip, but the Villa was so nice and relaxing that I booked two more nights for my wife, her best friend, and me to enjoy.

The property itself is beautiful. The ride up to it is a nightmare. If I had of known what it took to get to this cabin, I definitely would have stayed elsewhere. I had planned to shop while my husband worked, my vehicle never left the small one space till the day we both left. I rode with him everywhere because of the confusing and twisting roads up to cabin. He was offered no help when he came in at night either by the lady in the “welcome” shack. I don’t think she knew either, she just handed him back the paper and said “it’s on there”. Had one nice man named Randy let my husband park his cargo trailer down the hill and he was always helpful. Found an old washcloth in cabin left behind and the door kept locking us out so we found if you had a credit card you could use it to open it back up. That sure isn’t safe. No deadbolts on either door. River is close by if you like that to float down or fish. The deck was nice but your neighbors to the left and right can see you from theirs. I’ve never understood why you pay to have it cleaned behind you but you have to clean it pretty much yourself before you leave. This is the kind of review I wished I would have seen before I booked this cabin.

This villa was a great weekend get away! We enjoyed the deck and views! We would definitely stay again!! ❤️

Cabin was very moist inside

Amazing beautiful senory

The overall property was amazing- so quiet and peaceful. We saw countless deer and were able to enjoy a stunning view of the sunset every evening. The villas are dated. Which is fine and do-able…however, the pungent mildew smell was more than I could bear. It is not only the smell but the toxins from either the mold or fungi that it’s coming from; my body began swelling, could not stop sneezing, eyes watering, etc. Would love to come back but please do something about this. It is simply hazardous for your guests to constantly breathe in these toxins.

by the river

The resort itself is very nice and beautiful. The roads are very narrow and dangerous. The villa itself was outdated, with dead bugs, spider webs, spiders and dust.

The place was very nice and relaxing.

It was just what one person needed, one bedroom , living room kitchen, bath and washer and dryer, perfect, on river, very quiet, the road going in was great , up and down the mountain , very beautiful drive , will stay here again

The nice lady at check in warned the WiFi was “spotty”. And no guarantee on the WiFi. Well, spotty is a very generous description of a place that had very little WiFi, no cell signal (our phones went to SOS mode), and had a landline phone that was purely decorative as there was no dial tone. They advertised “CABLE TV”, which is a lie. They supply a TV which is attached to the nonexistent WiFi. We tried for over half an hour to connect to our personal Netflix account, to no avail. You can’t keep internet for 5 minutes to establish the connection. Two lights burnt out in living area, filthy uncomfortable deck furniture, and uncomfortable couches made hanging out challenging. The bed was ancient and sagging in the middle and neither of us slept well. The hairdryer is a wall mounted one that has not been actually mounted to a wall, so you have this clunky thing to plug in and try to dry your hair with that. Not a single hook in the bathroom, and the one towel rack was so small that only one towel folded in half fits on it. No where to hang another towel or robe. This place is not cheap enough and should come with a warning that is it COMPLETELY OFF THE GRID. Pack a ton of books and a book light.

we liked the location right next to river didn't like the drive to get there, the directions given to us were not very precise

Beautiful area. The property was very clean and neat. It was dated but still comfortable for our short stay. Getting to the property the road was very very narrow and you had to be very careful.

This is my 7th time staying here and I love it. Staff is awesome and checking in with Debbie is a breeze.

Love the Coosawatee River, it settles ones soul to listen to the rapids and nature while sitting around the fire pit drinking local wine while looking at the stars with great friends!

Everything was perfect. Only complaints are no WiFi & half the electrical outlets need to be replaced in unit. Cords won’t stay plugged in. We made it work. Unit was very clean and comfortable. Will definitely be back for a third trip.

While they Villa itself was very nice, the kitchen equipment was minimal at best. We were unable to start the fireplace in the main room and there were no instructions to help us. We were also unable to make the televisions in the main bedroom or upstairs work.

Only negative was there was an outdoor shooting range and we heard loud gunshots all day long

Our girls trip was awesome. We had plenty of room and Debbie at checkin, as usual was so helpful and sweet. The weather was great and shopping, apple picking and wine tastings were plentiful. Villas at Coosawattee River is my favorite place in Ellijay.

I loved all the deer and it was quiet. It felt like it was far from town but was not. The cabin was very clean & exactly what was shown in pictures.
