Welcome to Elevated Escape, formerly The Matterhorn, where breathtaking mountain vistas, upscale comforts, and unforgettable moments come together in one extraordinary North Georgia retreat. Perched high on the north side of Yonah Mountain, this beautifully crafted all-wood cabin offers spectacular long-range views and the perfect blend of rustic elegance and modern luxury.
Designed to comfortably accommodate families and groups, Elevated Escape features two bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and additional bunk accommodations in the lower-level game room, giving everyone plenty of space to relax after a day of adventure. Start your mornings with coffee on the expansive covered deck as the sun rises over the Blue Ridge Mountains, then spend your day exploring Helen's charming Bavarian village, hiking scenic waterfalls, floating the Chattahoochee River, or touring North Georgia's award-winning wineries. When the day winds down, return to your own private mountain sanctuary.
The lower level is an entertainment destination all its own. Challenge friends and family to a game of pool on the slate billiards table, tee off on Golden Tee 3D Golf, relive your favorite classics on the multi-game Pac-Man arcade, or gather around the bar area for drinks, laughter, and friendly competition. Afterward, melt away the day's adventures in the walk-in cedar sauna, the perfect way to relax and recharge.
Outside, fire up the grill for dinner, gather around the outdoor fire pit beneath a canopy of stars, or simply soak in the peaceful mountain surroundings from the spacious covered deck. Every space has been thoughtfully designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of the North Georgia mountains.
Whether you're planning a family vacation, couples' retreat, golf getaway, or weekend with friends, Elevated Escape offers the perfect combination of luxury, comfort, and entertainment. From sunrise mountain views to evenings filled with games, laughter, and fireside conversations, every stay is one you'll remember long after you've returned home. Come experience the mountain getaway you've been dreaming about—where every view inspires, every moment is elevated, and every stay becomes a cherished memory.
