About this property
Whimsy Way! Romantic or family mtn escape w/glorious sunsets from the porch!
Ideally situated for the perfect sunset between the quaint town of Elliljay and the enchanting town of Blue Ridge. Whimsy Way Chalet provides a respite from the madness of everyday life. Escape to this magical home where you can enjoy the serenity of being nestled in the mountains and the romance of roof top restaurants, wineries, hiking, and apple barns all within a short drive.
We can sleep 12 people, but that would include using 2 air mattresses located in the basement. We have 1 king on master, 4 single/twin beds in the loft which is upstairs via a spiral staircase, 1 queen sleeper sofa in basement w/a foam topper for comfort, and of course the 2 queen air mattresses. There are two full baths (one full bath is in the loft which is only accessed by a spiral staircase and has a crawl-through entry only to full bath-- more suitable for young and spry) and 2 half baths.
Our cabin is located approximately 2 miles up a beautiful mountain road. The roads ARE dirt, gravel, and very bumpy on the first incline. The steepest stretch of the road is paved. The road doesn’t require a 4-wheel drive, and one of our children even came in a small car.
