About this property

Hilltop Retreat- quiet and private, hot tub and 20 acres of wilderness.

This is our Hilltop Retreat 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, you have the option to also book the neighboring property at the Lakeside Retreat which can host 8 people and includes exclusive access to our private swimming and fishing lake (Misty Morning Lake). www.vrbo.com/2342047

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.

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 Retreat (www.vrbo.com/2342047) as this adjoining property has no steep slope concerns.

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 Internet (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.

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.
