A great covered back porch overlooking the river provides a great place to sit, relax, listen and admire the waters of the Coosawattee. On a hot day take a dip in the cool mountain waters or grab your kayak or tube and explore what the river has to offer. Of course many a fisherman enjoy throwing their line in the waters hoping for "the big one". Whatever brings you to this cabin, you won't leave disappointed.

We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was nice and clean. The staff was really great and thoughtful. They checked on us making sure we arrived and had everything we needed. Will definitely stay again, very peaceful and relaxing. Big shout out to staff and Beth the person getting cabin ready for the next guest. She found something we left and they are making sure we get it back. We really enjoyed river, deer, and the geese. Can’t forget about pool table, my kids enjoyed that. Again great experience.

Deer River Retreat was beautiful. The home is so perfect, it says can stay up to 6 I believe, Id actually say you could have up to 8 as theres two futon couches that are ridiculously comfy. Sitting in the hot tub and watching the river, the bird, the deer, the bonfire, the sunrise or sunset is seriously breathtaking. This place is amazing. Weve stayed at a few other cabins in the past, and all have their qualities. This one is spot on.

We really enjoyed our stay during the current Covid-19 environment. We hiked Tumbling Waters Falls one day and Fall Branch Falls the next. We ate in both Ellijay and Blue Ridge. It was everything it promised. It was spotless! Also, very well supplied with household essentials. We also appreciated that the add'tl pet fee was very reasonable compared to some other rentals. So, they enjoyed their time too. ๐Ÿ™‚

We are so happy we chose this property for our quick weekend getaway. It is located close to a river and has a nice lawn in the back. This was our first time renting a cabin for a vacation stay and we are so happy we rented this cabin through mountain oasis cabins. Very clean, appliances were great, fireplace and hot tub were already set up for us to use during a stay. We had a great time and we cant wait to go back. This cabin has everything you need for a cozy stay in the mountains of Georgia. Close to grocery stores, hiking trails, and other entertainments. If you want the neighborhood has great scenery and easy to walk if you dont want to go for a hike. The club house and playground was about 5 min walking distance from the cabin. The Peaceful surroundings and the cozy cabin made our weekend fantastic. You will not regret staying at this property and cabin oasis mountain staff were great and answered our questions and emails quickly!

If you are looking for a perfect get away in the Georgia mountains, this is the place for you. I spent hours sitting in the porch swing listening to the river. We have stayed at 3 of your rentals and they all were awesome. The staff is so friendly and helpful.

Perfect Cabin on river. This cabin has it all. and I mean all. I loved that there was so many signs in cabin telling you were things are. I will for sure be back if I can find someone to g0 that is not scared of the steep driveway. Other than the driveway you cannot find any fault in this cabin.

The knowledge of the staff on answering my questions about the cabins I am interested in and their friendliness over the phone. Seem like they enjoy helping people find the perfect cabin. The ease of booking and checking in with Mountain Oasis is also great. This cabin was very well done. The kitchen was fully stocked with items to prepare our meals with. I loved that it was so warm and welcoming when we opened the door. The lights were on and there was easy listening music playing on the TV. Also the beds were more comfortable than some other rentals we have stayed at with other rental companies. This is at least our second rental with MO and the beds have been better at both of these cabins. I hate spending that much money and feeling like I just slept on a piece of plywood all night and waking up sore.

Our cabin was perfectly rustic and equipped with everything we could possibly want. A herd of deer visited our yard several times a day for handouts. It was a delight to interact with them at such close range and we got great photos. Canadian geese also visited each day for treats. It was the perfect fall vacation for we Floridians.

What more could you ask for...a beautifully decorated, comfortable, clean and spacious cabin. We had anticipated good and received outstanding. The lovely cabin on the river had everything one would want for a tranquil stay in the mountains. Loved the 2 king bed option. We had a great time and appreciate all the love and thought that went into the beautiful home.
