When the sun rises you will often be treated to a giant lake of fog just below fed by Lake Nottely. At an elevation of 2,200 feet above sea level, we have a panoramic view of the tallest mountains in Georgia including Brasstown Bald and Blood Mountain.

The main floor includes a guest room with king-sized bed, full bathroom with bidet, laundry closet, open floor plan with fully-equipped kitchen, dining room, and living room with gas log fireplace. The living room has a large power reclining sofa and loveseat, 65" 4K OLED HDR Smart TV, and Blu-ray player. Internet is 50mbps+.

The top floor features a private primary suite with king-sized bed and large bathroom with bidet and separate tub and shower.

The basement features 100-year-old reclaimed wood for an accent wall and two barn doors. The bathroom features a fully tiled walk-in shower. Bunk beds are in their own semi-private space. The private bedroom on this floor has a queen-sized bed.

You can also step out onto the lower level wrap-around deck and enjoy the views.

Our cabin is situated on a mountain ridge. Access is easy for any typical vehicle except in very rare extreme winter weather. You will be far enough away from town to not hear any traffic but within reasonable driving distance of three towns with grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, and other necessities. A 20-minute drive will take you to Blue Ridge, Blairsville, or Murphy, NC.

Best View in Georgia - Even in the Rain!

We had a wonderful weekend at this house even though it was cloudy and we didn't get to see the sky - which is why we booked the place. But we will be back when the weather is better. I can only imagine what they sky will be like from the top of that mountain. I think the house was the cleanest rental I've ever seen. It is very nicely furnished and is very comfortable. We had a quick mix up on the door code and had to contact the owners. We got an immediate response. The house and location are both incredible. Since it was cloudy and we couldn't see the night sky, we spent all of the daylight hours sitting on the deck watching clouds pass through the valley and over distant mountains. When the cool wind and threat of rain chased us off the exposed deck, we went to the covered deck and built a fire. Thanks, Chuck and Christine! We will definitely book again if we can find clear weather!

NYE Trip

This was an amazing cabin to be able to escape and enjoy time with friends to ring in the new year!!! It has plenty of room for everyone and was extremely clean! The property is secluded enough but close to plenty of places. We took a day trip to Blue Ridge and then the next day took a trip to Murphy to the casino!! We are already looking to stay again!!!

Gorgeous View

We had a fabulous time at this cabin. The Mountain View was just gorgeous. The cabin was well stocked and there was plenty of room with three floors of bedrooms. We totally enjoyed the outdoor fireplace. It was a great place to gather and talk or read a book in front of a nice warm fire. We actually ran out of firewood but Chuck managed to get that restocked for us. The only issue we encountered was getting the access code for entry. We didn’t have it on the day we were supposed to check in and we had to contact Chuck to get it. I like to have the code a little more in advance just in case the cell service is spotty on the trip there and we have trouble communicating. But overall we had a great stay.

Clean, cozy, and accommodating

Our family of 6, ages range 1-11, were very comfortable in this cozy cabin. The hosts were very communicative and accommodating. Cabin had everything we needed, but nothing cluttered which was nice for having small kids around. Kitchen was well stocked, but not much space for pantry items, so keep in mind if staying awhile and eating in. Lots of cozy blankets, easy to follow instructions for fireplaces and TVs. (We should have brought a baby gate due to staircases.) They had a great collection of games, cards, movies for all ages. Streaming movies buffered a lot, so the dvds came in handy. There are two houses on either side, but we never saw or heard anyone else on the mountain. Cabin is about a 30 minute drive to downtown blue ridge. We recommend this cabin!

THIS IS THE PLACE TO STAY.....

The property was better than advertised. The beds are 5 star. Every conceivable kitchen item was provided. It was 10 degrees while we were visiting: the home keep us warm like a big thermal blanket. The outside fireplace and grill are well maintained along with extra bottles of propane. This is the place to stay!

Perfect weekend in the Mountains

The Overlook is perfect - gorgeous views, and amazing fireplace on the porch. The weather wasn’t cooperating on day 2 of our stay so we spent most of our time inside, where this cozy cabin had everything we needed. We will be back again!!!

Breathtaking

This cozy but spacious cabin is situated on a quiet road with views that are breathtaking from your first glimpse and continue to be for the entire stay. Whether your eating indoors or enjoying the outdoor under-cover fireplace, there is plenty of room for everyone! The cabin has everything you could want. We did some sightseeing in the area, but just having quiet family time at the cabin was best! We can’t wait to go back!

About the host

Hosted by Chuck & Christine

We'd been renting cabins in the North Georgia Mountains for over 20 years and we finally decided it was time to call one our own.

Christine is a native Georgian, having grown up in Carrollton. She is a pediatrician currently looking after newborns at Atlanta's baby factory, Northside Hospital. In her free time she likes to whip up creations in her craft room.

Chuck is originally from the Chicagoland area, but has spent most of his life in Georgia. He works for Cox Automotive designing websites, mobile apps, and more. In his free time he's probably doing something home-improvement related.

We have two awesome kids. Joshua is attending UGA studying mathematics and education, and Cody is attending George Mason University studying ecology.

We have two rescue dogs - Lucy and Kenzie have discovered they like the mountains as much as we do. They join our cat Apple (she's a stay-indoors-at-lower-altitudes type) to round out our family.

When we're not in the mountains we are just under two hours away in Peachtree Corners, Georgia.

Why they chose this property

The views from our place are nothing short of spectacular. We can't wait to spend time here and enjoy the views whether it is with a cup of coffee in the morning or a nice glass of wine at night. If you've never seen the Milky Way just wait until dark on a clear night and it won't disappoint. You're almost guaranteed to see some shooting stars.

We have a lot of criteria when finding a place in the mountains, and this cabin checked all of them - great view, peaceful, comfortable rooms, a good place to cook a meal, easy (but not too easy) access, a cabin (not a house!), hangout space (for the adults *and* the kids), outdoor fireplace, and easy access to nearby towns.

The basement is a great place to watch a movie. One of our family traditions when in the mountains is playing board/card games (Risk, Cataan, Canasta, and more) on the large game table there.

What makes this property unique

Have we mentioned the view? The night sky is spectacular. It's also unbelievably peaceful.

You're just 20 minutes away from anything you need - restaurants, shopping, activities, and more. But once you're here we don't think you'll want to leave.
