About this property

Buck Valley Lodge Home for 12

  • Summary:

    Escape to the peaceful beauty of the North Georgia Mountains at Buck Valley Lodge, a cozy cabin retreat within Coosawattee River Resort just minutes from the charming shops, wineries, orchards, and scenic trails surrounding Ellijay. Whether you’re here for seasonal festivals, waterfall hikes, or quiet evenings on the porch, this mountain getaway makes the perfect home base for embracing the slower pace and natural beauty of this beloved region.



    The Space:

    Step inside and feel immediately welcomed by the lodge’s warm, wood-accented living space, where tall ceilings and tree-lined views create a sense of openness and calm. A plush couch and loveseat gather around the indoor fireplace and smart TV—an inviting spot for relaxing after a day of mountain adventure. The kitchen and dining area sit just beyond, offering black countertops, warm cabinetry, and plenty of room to cook and share meals at the table for six. For fun and entertainment, head down to the basement game room where a pool table and second smart TV set the scene for friendly competition. A loft upstairs provides yet another place to unwind, outfitted with a sitting chair, futon, and smart TV—making it easy to use as its own cozy bedroom or simply a quieter hangout nook when you need a moment to yourself.



    Of course, life in the mountains is best enjoyed outdoors, and Buck Valley Lodge doesn’t disappoint. Fire up the grill for dinner with a view, soak in the private hot tub as the sun dips behind the ridges, or gather around the fire pit to toast s’mores under a blanket of stars. With mountain scenery all around, every moment here feels like a chance to slow down and savor the fresh air.

    Tucked into the rolling foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Ellijay and the surrounding North Georgia region offer a serene, storybook escape filled with natural beauty, small-town charm, and year-round outdoor adventure. Known as Georgia’s Apple Capital, Ellijay bursts to life each autumn with harvest festivals, cider tastings, and farm visits, while nearby Blue Ridge adds boutique shopping, cozy cafés, and panoramic train rides through the mountains. Outdoor lovers can spend their days hiking scenic trails to waterfalls, kayaking the Cartecay River, fishing mountain streams, or exploring endless forest roads that lead to sweeping overlooks. When winter settles in, the mountains trade their colorful canopy for misty mornings and crackling fireplaces, while spring and summer invite travelers to wineries, farm-to-table restaurants, and hillside vineyards where tastings come with ridge-top views. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or a little of both, North Georgia makes it wonderfully easy to slow down, breathe deep, and enjoy mountain living at its finest.

I love this cabin!

This home is truly beautiful, it is close to town which was really nice. The hosts are very sweet and really good at communicating fast. The view from the cabin is gorgeous, saw a lot of deer passing through the trees and you could see the beautiful mountains. They have a lot of kitchen necessities that made it easy to cook and the pool table was super fun.

Book this cabin it's excellent for a simple and relaxing getaway

The cabin was very spacious with olenty of room and the floorplan was great. Everything was very clean and well maintained. Its a great place for a realxing family getaway or vacation. You can sit on the porch and watch 100's of deer up close and occasionally a bear might pass within sight distance. Theres is plenty to do without leaving the resort such as swimming in the pools or river, going off many of the rope swings in yhe river, fishing or floating the river and much, much more. The kids loved it and we wished we could have stayed longer. We'll definitley be back again. We cant't say enough good things. Book this place you won't be sorry

Beautiful Cabin in a wonderful community

We loved our stay! There was a little confusion with the leasing agency at check in, but quickly resolved. The cabin had everything we needed to cook for the week, plenty of towels, and linens. We loved the amenities in the resort. We can’t wait to return this summer to enjoy all the other amenities opening up. Ellijay is a quaint little town. Be sure to go in and check out the Beau-tiful Art studio our kids spent 2 days creating there! We enjoyed the proximity to surrounding areas like Blue Ridge and also went to Carters Lake to see the nature center and do a little hike with the kids. The kids loved watching the many deer graving on the property some coming up very close to us to visit.

Friends’ Weekend Getaway

We stayed 2 nights and it was great! The house was really nice and had almost everything we’d need. If you are planning to cook and have leftovers, bring aluminum foil, Tupperware and/or ziploc bags. Also, we could not get the dishwasher to run on its own without having someone push against it so we had to do our dishes by hand. Other than that, the house is perfect. There are tons of fun activities to do in the area. We went tubing and to a winery and had a great time. 10/10 recommend!

Cabin very nice, communication not so much

Cabin was very nice and comfortable but some of the mattress need to be replaced, very uncomfortable. Kitchen was nicely equipped but when we wanted to have a glass of wine there was no wine opener. Sounds silly but very inconvenient at 7:00pm when we had to go to Walmart to purchase one, we did leave it for the next renters. The communication with the host/ management company was very poor and frustrating from the beginning but a few days before check in I spoke with someone directly who understood why I was so frustrated and went out of her way to explain the reasons and to make things right..

A Gem in Ellijay!

The cabin was great for our family of 9. Though we didn't bring our dog this place would also be great for pets. The cabin was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. We even did a pre- Christmas dinner with fixings and it was great. The rooms are beautiful and the terrace level feels like your own private space too. The only thing I wish we knew was that we have to constantly check in at the gate every time we come in and that was for each car. I also recommend AWD or 4WD because some of the roads are steep and gravel. The resort is over 5000 acres with multiple parks. Elijah is 20 minutes from Blue ridge. We also drove to Helen and Atlanta which was 1 hour and 30 minutes each. We visited Anna Ruby Falls which was great for the family including a toddler and stroller. Ellijay downtown is sweet and the shops have unique gifts for all. Everyone is so friendly and kind. We already want to go back for another amazing vacation.

Spacious, Clea, and Relaxing Lodge

We enjoyed our 4 night stay as a family of 6 at Buck Valley Lodge. The cabin was very clean , proved plenty of bath towels as well as towels for hot tub. Kitchen was stocked well for cooking, only thing I would suggest is some dish towels and more dish soap. All 3 bathrooms had shampoo, conditioner, and soap. May want to bring extra toilet paper and paper towels for kitchen, there is enough to get started. Our teens enjoyed the pool table, however we’re disappointed the advertised basketball game was broken and not workable. I would suggest taking it off the listing or replacing as it was one reason we chose the cabin for the boys to play while we were in the cabin. There are also marshmallow sticks provided for the fire pit. The beds were ok, not terrible but not the best. We had plenty of space to spread out. We really enjoyed watching all the deer farm the decks as well as throughout the resort. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this lovely space.
