My family had a great time staying at the cabin. The kids played in the woods and my husband and I relaxed on the decks with the breathtaking views. There was so many things to see and do. We went tubing, antiquing, visited amazing waterfalls and just had a blast. The cabin is very clean and well maintained and the owners are great. I would recommend this cabin to all of my family and friends.

We stayed during Memorial Day weekend, and had a great time. The cabin is comfortable, clean, and slept four adults and two kids with room to spare. The views are beautiful. We had a nice time tramping around the woods and road, as well as driving to Helton Creek Falls and Lake Nottley. Even on a popular holiday weekend, it was incredibly quiet, and no one was around. This was also VERY reasonably priced for such nice accommodations.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers.

Stephen, we are so looking forward to returning to your cabin this April 2011 for our 3rd time. Everything is always so neat and clean. The views are beautiful and the piece and quiet are great. Young Harris is a nice little town and the drive to Hiawassee for shopping is scenic. Barb and Debbie, The sisters from Michigan

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin very much. The amenities made our stay feel as if we were at home... Great location - about 5 miles from Young Harris College campus one direction and 5 miles from Lake Nottley in the other direction . The website photos don't do it justice, but it is everything the website promises and more. Be prepared for a very steep incline to get to the top of the mountain. Some cars might not be up to the challenge... But once you get there, and get settled in - you may never want to leave!

The name of this cabin fits it perfectly! You really are above the clouds! The views from all 3 decks are breathtaking and surrounded by mountains, the view changes constantly with the cloud movement and light. its very dramatic. its very well furnished and comfortable. We visit there regularly to reconnect with nature and ourselves and hope to keep continue visiting there. Highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for an escape from the city. It really is a perfect escape!
