Stayed Dec 20, 2025We stayed at the mountain cabin in Ellijay, Ga and it was a fantastic experience. We saw deer every day and they came up really close. You could spend hours relaxing on the front porch.There are plenty of amenities on the cabin property which we were able to enjoy. The host (Danette) was extremely responsive and answered all of our questions very quickly. She also provided a wealth of knowledge about her favorite activities in the Ellijay area.In conclusion, we very much enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this location and host for staying in the Ellijay area. Thank you.

Stayed Oct 10, 2025Once Upon A Deer was just the right place for our little get away. It was immaculately clean and had all the important things you needed in a kitchen. We enjoyed the hot tub and having s’mores around the fire. Our hostess was amazing and readily available to answer any questions. We had a wonderful time and will visit this home again. Laughrie

Stayed Dec 21, 2024We had a fabulous time staying at Once Upon a Deer. Danette was very responsive and accommodating. The cabin was clean, cozy and a quick drive into Ellijay. We very much enjoyed the deer that would come right up to the property. Danette had the cabin decorated for Christmas which made us feel like we were right at home. Would definitely stay here again.

Stayed Jun 26, 2024From day one speaking with Danette, the trip was good. Danette was so kind and quick to get back with us when we had a question. She is a wonderful host. Everything was so clean . The inside was decorated so pretty. You had everything you needed in the kitchen. The beds was so very comfortable, plenty of towels. The front porch was wonderful so nice and peaceful. The deer came to visit every day. It is a great place to take your children they had different things for them to play with . A great firepit area to set around. Thank you for a great place to get away ,close to places to eat and Walmart. I would give Danette and her home a 5 plus

Stayed Jun 15, 2024Beautiful gated mountain community with lots of surrounding wooded area. Feels safe and private. Cabin is ideal for those with mobility issues. From the covered parking area, you can access the back door with no steps involved. The cabin had everything needed for a weeks stay. The downstairs bedroom not only had a jacuzzi tub, but also a walk in shower. The front porch was a favorite during our stay. Comfortable rockers, chairs, and a porch swing. A great place to view the resident deer. Ellijay has many attractions. The downtown has some cute boutique stores and restaurants. Several are dog friendly if you like to have your pooch with you for lunch. Best mountain retreat we have found. We’ll be back .
