5 STARS Second year in a row staying here for our anniversary! Nice quiet place and not hard to get anywhere. Will definitely be returning. Date of arrival - September 15, 2023

5 STARS We only had a weekend to get away, and this place was perfect. Wonderful home and a great place to relax and unwind, (a much needed break). The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The host is friendly, communicative, and responsive. We will definitely visit again, hopefully, for a longer stay.

5 STARS This is ny far, one of the best places to stay in Ellijay, a real mix of rustic and luxury. To me, it felt like a slice of heaven or "Valhalla." The house felt brand new was spotless and situated at the top of a hill. So, you have a view forest and partial views of the river in the day time. Though you can hear the rumbling of the river at all times, regardless of which balcony you are on. From the master balcony, you can reach out and touch the towering oak trees. it also makes a good place to camp out, and we slept out there a couple of nights. finally, the wildlife around the cabin was amazing. you will be visited by no less than 5 deer in the mornings and in the evenings. The deer are friendly and come right up to you to eat corn that the host provides. My family and I will definitely be coming back

The hostess was super helpful too!

5 STARS We had a great time at Buck Watch Lodge. The cabin was big enough to accommodate all 9 of us! We enjoyed the amenities at the cabin as well as the amenities in the resort too. We seen so many deer too! The hostess was super helpful too! Date of arrival - September 1, 2023

5 STAR It was a great place, with plenty of room. It was clean, spacious and comfortable. They also left deer food so you can feed the deer that come around. We had no issues with checking in or out. I would definitely recommend! Date of arrival - September 2, 2023

4 STARS Cozy and clean... kids loved the fire pit, jacuzzi and the open space. The deers came out midday and evening, right on the property. Lots of deers in the whole community. The resort amenities were great...cool down after hot day of hiking.

5 STARS Great place to stay and explore North Georgia!

5 STARS The cabin was extremely clean and had everything we needed. The river sounds were very relaxing and made this an incredible vacation Date of arrival - July 22, 2023

5 STARS This cabin is wonderful for a large crowd. We had kids ranging in ages from 3 to 13 so letting them go down to the playroom to hangout was peaceful for the adults up stairs. The surroundings were beautiful. There were a couple of hiccups at no fault of the hostess and she was quick to assist. I would recommend this place to anyone who has a large group.

Family has a great time, cabin didnt look like it was cleaned but we can in the same afternoon as the prior guest left. Maybe the cleaning crew gave it a quick clean. Wasnt crazy dirty just a few minor issues. Great location, beautiful river side, overall a great vacation. Date of arrival - July 22, 2023

4 STARS Great peaceful private location on the river which is good for tubing and wading. Bring your water shoes, rocks are painful on feet if you plan to go in. Good current so floating down is easy. Cannot swim back. Shallow enough to walk back though. Place had everything we needed and was clean. Very steep roads throughout the community. Loved the access to pools, putt-putt, and tenis courts. Have to use your car to get around. Property management is very responsive! Date of arrival - July 26, 2023

4 STARS It was peaceful and beautiful inside. Driveway needs updating two vehicles of our group got stuck leaving out. 2nd floor shower did not work but baths are always good. Some dishes werent cleaned so we washed the ones we needed. Hard to fine even with directions on the narrow roads. It is a nice place to stay in once they get the driveway done. Date of arrival - August 4, 2023

5 STAR What a great place to stay! The house was cozy and comfortable and set up for all of our needs. The location was only 6 miles from Ellijay where we visited a beautiful winery and enjoyed downtown. We fished in the river during the day then sat around the firepit at night. The outdoor lighting illuminated the river and deck which made it easy to stay outside well after dark. We will definitely go back. Date of arrival - August 4, 2023

5 STARS Great cabin with lots of space for large family. We loved the outdoor deck and seating. Fun country decor. Date of arrival - July 29, 2023

5 STARS My boyfriend and I, along with another couple, planned a weekend getaway to Valhalla to celebrate a special anniversary. Little did we know that our experience would far surpass any expectations we held. The initial step into the cabin itself was an awe-inspiring moment that defied the images we had seen online prior. The photographs, while attempting to capture its essence, fell short of conveying the cabin's full beauty. The cabin exuded a fresh, new ambiance that was complemented by its immaculate cleanliness and large windows that created a seamless connection with the outdoors. A contemporary cabin vibe with an immediate feel of comfort created an eagerness to explore the property and its accommodations. The decor was sharp but blended well with simplicity. The space felt uncluttered, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the peacefulness we had sought out for in a relaxing weekend . The amenities available to us added another layer of excitement, and our quiet, romantic morning walks down to the Coosawattee River, situated just beyond the driveway, were reenergizing. Hand-feeding deer, an unusual opportunity for us, turned into an unforgettable highlight. Our iPhones were quickly filled with amazing snapshots of moments that ranged from deer nibbling from our hands to late-night jacuzzi sessions and competitive ping pong tournaments. Our experiences seemed endless, providing us with so many photo opportunities to share with our friends through social media. This property stood out as one of the greatest memories from all of our annual mountain retreats. The blend of nature's beauty, amenities, and activities left a mark on our hearts. It's safe to say that our return to Valhalla will be even sooner than anticipated, as this was one of our greatest trips to date. Jill H.

5 STARS Super location for tubing. 7/4/2023 at 6:55 PM

As a seasoned VRBO enthusiast to this area, I'm compelled to begin with the location of this beautiful cabin...a stones throw away from the Coosawattee River, the sounds of the current are simply mesmerizing. We arrived in the evening and the whole place was beyond or expectations, from the "contemporary cabin" feel, all the way down to the open floor concept featuring beautiful artwork. We slept like babies in the most comfortable beds and woke up to only the sounds of nature and found deer greeting us at our front door. 5 stars to this beautiful getaway retreat that provided my family the peace and privacy to return home rested!

Perfect little cabin! Spacious enough for 6 people. The creek located next to the fire pit allowed us to relax next to the fire while letting us to hear the sound of flowing water. The cabin has been remodeled and everything is beautiful. We loved the deer! Coffee in the morning on the front porch while watching the deer, and deer in the evening in the backyard became a favorite routine! We will be back!!

5 STARS A Wonderful retreat! The surrounding property offers so many activities on-site. From cooling down in the river, to swinging and enjoying sunset, the firepit, the deer, the geese, hot tub time, etc.! There is plenty to stay occupied directly on property. The house itself is a perfect mountain escape! Date of arrival - June 16, 2023

5 STAR Fabulous stay thanks bunches for a great weekend. We had great fun our pnly thing that sofas were more comfortable than the beds. This is not a cheap home to rent so i would expect better mattresses. King bedroom upstairs feals like plywood. Double beds in upstairs bedroom very noisy. This is just our suggestion of course everyone has their own preferences.

5 STARS We enjoyed our stay during our son's wedding weekend. We especially loved the deer visited us throughout our stay. We would love to come back again!! Thank you so much:)

5 STARS We had a great time, and it was very relaxing and clean and very spacious as listed would definitely book again the process was. Wry easy Date of arrival - April 22, 2023
