About this property
Exclusive private mountain and lake vacation in the Cohutta wilderness
Stunning private mountain and private lake retreat nestled in the north GA mountains, surrounded by the Cohutta Wilderness Wildlife Management Area. Just fully renovated, this lovely western style cabin boasts all the amenities and luxuries you would expect from the best resorts and properties, but also extremely private. This 4 bedroom, 3 full and 2 1/2 baths, home is nestled on a mountain overlooking a 7-acre private lake, mountain views and the sounds of the Mountain Town Creek rushing past your open doors and sprawling decks. Enjoy quiet sunsets on the lower flagstone patio and fire-pit area. Cook your meals on the Green Egg or large stainless steel grill at the outdoor kitchen area, just off the upper deck. Stroll down to the lake and enjoy the abundance of wildlife including the occasional bald eagle, or take one of the kayaks and a fishing pole where you can catch trout, bass, and brim. If you are a nature lover or mountain bike enthusiast, the entire property (7-acres) is surrounded by the 100,000 acres Cohutta Wilderness Management Area. You can hike the Mountain Town Creek trail (about 7 miles) up to Doublehead Gap, the whole way following and crisscrossing Mountain Town Creek, which is full of native brook and rainbow trout. You may see black bear, wild turkey, deer, and many numerous bird species. The home is located approximately 15-20 minutes from the cute and historic town of Ellijay, where you will find antique shops, restaurants, coffee shops, and other interesting destinations.

Why they chose this property
If you have ever visited Cohutta Bear Retreat Cabin (CBR), then you know without a doubt that there is simply nothing else like it anywhere in North Georgia. Cohutta Bear Retreat Cabin sits inside a privately owned and gated (private access gate) tract of land that is surrounded on all sides by the Cohutta Wilderness WMA (approx. 100,000 acres). CBR overlooks a private and stocked 7 acre lake that is full of trout, bream & bass. CBR is perched on the side of a mountain and has stunning views of the Cohutta Mountain range, the private lake, and sits above the babbling and incredibly beautiful Mountain Town River. Every evening and morning sunrise, you can sit on the wrap around porches and enjoy world class views and nothing but the sounds of nature and calming noises of the river below.
What makes this property unique
Upscale, private, secluded, secure, safe, incredibly beautiful and one of a kind. And comes with all the modern amenities and expectations of your own home, but nestled in the middle of the Cohutta Wilderness.
