Cozy Cabin with Rushing Creek and Mountain Views

Quiet and secluded hillside cabin with 180 feet of frontage along Fightingtown Creek in the middle of the Chattahoochee National Forest on the Georgia Traverse. Creek is across the narrow street but easily accessible and viewable from the porch. Less than 20 minutes to downtown Blue Ridge and Ellijay.

This new construction cabin features modern furnishings, rough hewn wood floors, walls and cabinets and a thirty foot long deck looking over the creek, where you can sip your morning coffee or enjoy a glass of wine while listening to the soothing sounds of the stream rushing past. Or open the windows at night and enjoy the natural white noise produced by the babbling creek.

The cabin is professionally decorated with high end furnishings, dishware and luxury linens.

Inside the front door is a deluxe Samsung stainless steel kitchen with a full size refrigerator and a four seat high top dining table. High end Pottery Barn dishware is provided, along with Calphalon pots, pans and a lobster pot for your low country boil in the mountains.

The plush living room has a leather couch and matching chair, modern coffee table and end tables. Now with high speed fiber internet for unlimited streaming and downloads! Kick back and watch the 60" big screen tv with YouTube TV and NFL Sunday Ticket or your favorite streaming service in 4k. The TV is on the mantle of a soaring rough mountain stone fireplace complete with vent free gas logs with remote control for those chilly mountain nights.

The main bedroom has a king bed with plush memory foam mattress, luxury linens and quilts as well as chic throw pillows. There is a wide 6 drawer dresser, luggage rack and hanging rods attached to the maid's closet. A separate 42" smart LCD tv rests atop the dresser with streaming apps. There is an en suite full bath with luxury towels and travel sized body wash, shampoo and conditioner provided. This is also the main floor bathroom with separate entry. A Westin curved shower curtain rod is installed for extra elbow room in the standard sized tub/shower combo.

Up the rough hewn stairs is the second sleeping area/loft with a king sized memory foam mattress, luxury linens and pillows, plush quilt and throw pillows. A separate reading nook is located at the top of the stairs containing a twin sized bed and twin pull out trundle bed. A six drawer dresser is also provided along with a luggage rack at the foot of the king bed. The loft overlooks the kitchen and den areas and also has multiple windows for enjoying the sounds of the creek. There is an en suite 3/4 bath also containing luxury towels and travel sized toiletries.

Out the back door, there is a wide covered deck overlooking the stream with cedar tongue and groove paneling, ceiling fans, lighting and string lights to enjoy those cool mountain evenings. A 4-piece sectional, two seat gliding rocker, child sized rocking chair and additional game day foldable chairs are provided for your relaxation. There is also a four burner propane grill with side sauce burner to complete your mountain dining experience.

Halfway down the driveway is a stone fire pit with Adirondack chair seating and string lights to guide your way on the star filled nights in Cherry Log. A plentiful supply of chopped hardwood is on a rack behind the cabin to keep your fires going long into the night. Fire starters and kindling is located in the bottom shelf of the rack and lighters are provided in the kitchen.

Note that the road traverses our lot, and the stream is located across the quiet street surrounded by foliage. Bring your waders and fly rod to try and catch some of the stocked trout in Fightingtown Creek. The property has 180 feet of frontage along the creek, extending from the driveway of the neighbors down to the blue stake on the side of the road.

Notes

- We just had a concrete driveway installed up to the firepit. Please disregard older reviews stating difficulty with the driveway as the old gravel driveway required 4WD to get up.

- Insects are plentiful in variety and quantity on a wooded property in the mountains. We pay for a variety of pest control services for the cabin which are very effective. An exception to this is ladybugs. Unlike most insects, ladybugs do not respond well to insecticides. Their presence is not a sign of lack of pest control or lack of cleaning, simply that you are in North Georgia during certain seasons. Please do your part to keep them out by keeping doors shut when not in use. There are screens on all windows except the two in the loft facing the creek. Please keep those windows shut.

- Make sure you have WiFi calling turned on to make phone calls. There is no cellular signal in the valley.
