Dog-Friendly Forest Cabin with Hot Tub, Shared Pool, Game Room, Two Decks

Bucky and Doe Doe's Place

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Surround yourself with wildlife and tranquil forest landscapes at this two-bedroom Ellijay cabin, a cozy and welcoming home with an abundance of mountain charm, a private hot tub, shared pool, and firepit, and a basement game room to provide hours of family fun.

This three-level, dog-friendly retreat is part of the Coosawattee River Resort in North Georgia, which is just three miles southwest of downtown Ellijay. The home sits in a mountain valley that is well-traveled by white-tailed deer, allowing guests to enjoy frequent sightings of the local wildlife.

Admire wonderful alpine details as you enter the living space, which features hardwood floors, exposed tongue-and-groove on the walls and ceiling, and a beautiful stone hearth. Turn on the gas fireplace, take a seat in the leather recliner, and use the WiFi to plan tomorrow's adventures.

As your kids retreat to the den to watch a few shows on the flatscreen cable TV, get a head start on dinner in the kitchen, where you'll find stainless steel appliances, a five-burner gas range, and a center island with two bar stools. Light the gas grill to barbecue chicken and sit down to eat at the six-person table.

In the spring, summer, and colorful autumn months, you'll have two covered decks with cushioned lounge furniture, Adirondack chairs, and views of the surrounding valley. And no matter the season, you'll enjoy a five-person hot tub on the lower deck and an outdoor firepit in the backyard.

Spend your evenings sipping wine on the front porch, watching the sunset over the ridge line, and taking your dog for long walks (please note that an additional nightly fee applies). Your kids will also delight in the basement game room, which offers Ping-Pong, an ESPN Quick Shot, sofas, and another TV.

With two bedrooms and three bathrooms, Bucky and Doe-Doe's Place can sleep as many as eight guests. On the main level, you'll find an inviting bedroom with a queen-size bed, while the upstairs room offers two double beds and a private bathroom. The living room, den, and game room also have a queen-size sofabed and a futon.

Additional amenities at this cabin include private laundry facilities, shared pool, a collection of puzzles and board games, and a bin of corn to leave for the deer in the yard.

Whether you're planning a family vacation full of outdoor adventures or a relaxing retreat with your loved ones, you won't find a more serene escape than the mountains of North Georgia. Take a short drive into downtown Ellijay, the quaint town that has hosted the Georgia Apple Festival each October since 1971.

You'll also be only 18 miles from Carters Lake, where you can hike along the 62-mile shoreline, rent a pontoon boat at the marina, or drop your fishing line for spotted bass and walleye.

Experience the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains in every season - begin planning your Ellijay vacation today!

Great wooded views and space for the family
Loved the multiple outdoors spaces, games for family entertainment, and the daily visits from lots of deer in the backyard. Beds are a bit creaky but were comfortable. Sofa bed mattresses are new.

Overall a nice stay
Overall this was a great stay and a very nice cabin. Secluded and quiet, spacious enough to accommodate our family of 5 and two dogs. It wasn’t super clean but it’s a cabin. We will likely book again for next spring.

Great Space!
This is our second time booking this cabin. We LOVE it! Plenty of space and i nice secluded spot to really decompress. My only feedback is that the gas stove cooks low and slow and was challenging so we went out to dinner the next night. But definitely would recommend this spot!

Let it Snow
Our first day was snowing, it was beautiful. We were five, so ample space for everybody. Plenty of towels and sheets. Nice gas chimney and good stock kitchen. Some cups were put away dirty. Some of the furniture should be replaced.

Wildlife all around you.
Great house, everything works, comfy beds up stairs. Yet good enough for teens I think. Great place for a family with little ones. No hiking trails, huge community, but lots of wildlife to see. Deer in pack fulls, racoons, squirrels and birds of a plenty. The pool and jacuzzi was awesome, and their game room was very fun too. Were just tall people and needed things for tall folks. LoL. Toilets, mirror's and things. But great stay! Excellent communication the whole time. They had everything for any situation too. Loved it. Thank you for the great getaway!

Nice cabin, but needs improvements
The cabin is cozy with a nice forest view. The hot-tub was clean and at temperature when we checked in. There are some things that didn't write work for us. The kitchen's silverware is "dollar tree" quality and there are no sharp knife or butcher's knives. The beds were all quite uncomfortable.

Amazing place, Would recommend
This place was just amazing! The game room was so cool and my kids liked the collections that they had down there. The hot tub was just perfect, the view you had was amazing. I also loved the dear that would show up every time we looked outside. The kitchen was amazing because it had all the dishes and utensils for us to use. The gas fire place was so easy to use just while watching movies. All of the beds and rooms were amazing and had no issues yet the beds were a little squeaky. It was a little hard to first get near the house because the driveway was very narrow and steep. Overall the place is amazing and would recommend for any families.

Great place to stay!!
At first glance when you walk in, it seems a bit of a tight space; however as you get acclimated it is just the right size!! We had 3 adults and 2 children and it was perfect! The downstairs game room was perfect! There were plenty of silverware, dishes, glasses, etc. We did not encounter any issues. The place was clean... oh yes... the only thing, there was no trial size laundry detergent for a quick wash of the kids clothes and we did not think to bring any. However, the cabin is very easy to find and is in close proximity to anything you need. The best part is we got the chance to see a multitude of deer on a daily basis!! they are right in the back yard and also in the front .. came right up to our car (we were in the cabin..lol). Anyway to sum it up...we loved the cabin! it was quaint and cozy!!

Great family-friendly cabin close to Ellijay
This three-level home was perfect for a family getaway - lots of room for teenagers to spread out and have their own space, particularly the large TV in the basement which also had lots of games (ping pong, darts, basketball). Two large deck areas and a hot tub were also perfect for enjoying the beautiful fall weather and occasional visits from deer. The cabin was a very short drive to Ellijay, which has a lot of choices for dining and shopping (especially antiques). All in all, a great experience. Some areas in need of attention - new mattresses are sorely needed on the beds and the cookware is quite worn out.

What a great homebase for our family vacation! With 4 preteens it's not always easy to find accommodation that meets everyone's needs. Bucky and Doe-Doe's gave everyone space, indoor games, and outdoor exploration. Nothing was fancy but everything was clean and comfortable. Perfect spot for our family!
