About this property

Welcome to the Hilltop Retreat at Misty Morning Lake Resort!

This is our Hilltop Retreat at Misty Morning Lake Resort which includes 20 acres & hot tub. Come experience the feeling of being pampered while also enjoying the wilderness.

This refined, cozy, and newly renovated mountain cabin property offers a touch of luxury in its three bedrooms and two bathrooms for 6 people, an expansive wrap around screened porch and 20 acres of wilderness for relaxing and exploring. Whether you come with your family for vacation or as a couple's getaway, you will find relaxation and tranquility in this quiet property in the wilderness.

If you are looking to vacation with additional family or friends and want more space to spread out, including access to our private swimming and fishing lake (Misty Morning Lake), you have the option to also book the neighboring property at the Lakeside Retreat at Misty Morning Lake which can host 8 people. www.vrbo.com/2342047

After booking, please discuss with your host if the private access to our entire resort property is desired. Our entire woodland and lake resort spans 55 acres of hiking trails, picnic areas, swimming, fishing, boating, camping, RV parking, etc. If this is something of interest to you and your guests, please contact your host for details.

At the Hilltop Retreat Cabin, you will find a first-floor master bedroom with an amazingly comfortable king bed, two-night tables and closet for all of your belongings. From the first-floor master, you may access the screened porch from the sliding glass door.
Our first floor living room offers a leather couch with recliners and TV & entertainment center for cozy movie nights. The kitchen is well equipped with pots & pans, dishes, blender, toaster, microwave, split oven and range, dishwasher, crockpot and coffee maker. Our laundry room has a full-size washer & dryer and minifridge for beverages. The downstairs bathroom has a beautiful sink, and glass sliding door into a custom shower with stone and tile and double shower heads. Our dining room seats 6 or move to the porch for another dining table to eat on a screened porch overlooking the front garden and forest.

Upstairs we have another living area with two leather recliners, a leather couch, a game table, and a large screen TV. You will find a custom-built bunk room with 2 twin bunks, chest of drawers and closet and a giant bean bag chair. The secondary master bedroom which is also located upstairs offers another luxury king bed, a desk for mobile working, chest of drawers and closet. We have high speed fiber WIFI for easy access to the Inernet (we wager it matches or exceeds your home Wi-Fi speeds). Both bedrooms upstairs feature black out blinds to enjoy a great night's sleep. The upper bathroom has a large custom tile and stone shower and double vanity.

Each of the TVs in the two lounge areas are equipped with intuitive, single remote Roku devices for access to your streaming services. With our high-speed internet you will have seamless streaming options on your devices, computers or on our TVs.

We have a large, screened porch with additional seating for dining or conversation. Outside there is a brand new luxurious 6-person hot tub which overlooks the fire pit with Adirondack chairs for relaxing while taking in the woodland views. Watching the stars at night from the hot tub is amazing experience. We have very little light pollution and the number of stars that are visible to the naked eye is awe inspiring.

There is so much to do on the property or in the area for the outdoor adventurer such as hiking, mountain biking, fishing, or rafting and tubing. Visit the apple houses in Ellijay or Blue Ridge for all the harvest delights! There are wineries, breweries and tasty restaurants for the food explorer. Lots of fun shopping options in Ellijay or Blue Ridge for those who like to leisurely stroll and window shop.

Additional Notes:
The driveway to the Hilltop Cabin and the parking around the cabin is newly built and in good working order. However, the final approach to the Hilltop Cabin is a steep grade and it is recommended that you utilize all-wheel or 4-wheel drive. If this is of concern, you can look at our sister property, The Lakeside Cabin at Misty Morning Lake (www.vrbo.com/2342047) as this adjoining property has no steep slope concerns.

Pets are prohibited at the Hilltop Retreat. However, the Lakeside Retreat does allow for an outside fenced in yard for pets to play and be protected outdoors. Call your hosts for more details.

About the host

Hosted by Nicole John

Host profile image
We are a husband and wife (Clinton and Nicole) from Marietta, GA, who have acquired a little slice of heaven in Ellijay, GA. We are so happy to host amazing guests, such as yourself, at our Misty Morning Mountain Retreat. We work tirelessly to ensure every element of the property is welcoming, enjoyable, and relaxing. We want you to build memories here that last a lifetime and help you recharge and revitalize away from urban life among our natural wonders in the mountains of North Georgia.

Why they chose this property

This is a remote and highly private forested lake property which is still highly accessible being less than 8 miles from downtown Ellijay. You can enjoy serenity, quiet, and dark star gazing nights, while still making day trips to many popular destinations. Many of our prior guests have spent their entire visit on our property, hiking trails, relaxing in hammocks, playing games, swimming in the lake, catching fish in the lake, and soaking in the hot tub. We are so pleased to now have two Cabins available to the public for rent. Both offer affordable and luxurious accommodations with everything provided. Please read our reviews on "www.VRBO.com/2342047". We take such pride in serving our guests and earning our 5-star ratings.

What makes this property unique

You can relax in the creature comfort of one of our two Cabin properties. You can bring a tent and camp at one of our designated camping locations. Bring your fishing pole and arrange to use one of our boats or kayaks on our own private lake. Use one of our hammocks and nap and bask in the beauty of nature. Hike on our well-groomed, mapped, and marked private trails which span the entire 55-acre campus. Nature watch. Play games with your family and friends. Have campfires in our designated fire pit areas. Make memories for a lifetime.
