Poolside Mountain Retreat- Family-sized, pet-friendly, pool, hot tub, private
Poolside Mountain Retreat – Relax, Reconnect, and Recharge Escape to this beautiful mountain retreat tucked away on six peaceful, wooded acres just outside of Ellijay, Georgia. With a private pool, cozy outdoor spaces, and plenty of room for the whole family—including your four-legged friends—this spacious cabin is the perfect place to relax and unwind.
Spend your days lounging by the pool, exploring the surrounding trails, or casting a line in one of the nearby lakes. There’s even a trail that leads straight to Carters Lake, where you can rent a boat or bring your own for a fun day on the water. In the evenings, gather around the firepit for s’mores and storytelling under the stars, or enjoy a quiet dinner on the deck while the sun sets behind the mountains.
Inside, you’ll find a warm and inviting living space with high ceilings, wood accents, and all the comforts of home. The fully stocked kitchen is a dream for cooking and entertaining, with bar seating at the island and a custom dining table that seats 8–10.
The cabin includes four spacious bedrooms:
* King on the Main with private bath with a jetted tub, stand up shower. Deck access with a gorgeous mountain view plus a Smart TV * King on the Terrace level with a private shower/tub bathroom, Smart TV and patio access * Queen on the Upper with a private bath, and Smart TV * Queen on the Upper with a pool view, and Smarth TV
Downstairs, the game room is set up for fun with a pool table, foosball, air hockey, a bar area, and another smart TV. It’s a great space for movie nights, weekend sports, or letting the kids have their own hangout area.
The hot tub sits on the main deck with a beautiful view—an ideal spot to relax after a day of hiking, swimming, or exploring nearby Ellijay. Downtown is just a short drive away with local shops, restaurants, and seasonal festivals. You’ll also find orchards, vineyards, and family-friendly activities like tubing, horseback riding, and more within easy reach.
Whether you’re planning a summer vacation, fall getaway, or just need some time in nature, Poolside Mountain Retreat is the perfect home away from home.
