Beautiful Mountain Views, Fast WiFi, No Pet Fees

Important Road Info

Our cabin is tucked away in a stunning, mountain-top location, and while it’s a peaceful paradise, a little less than 1/4 mile of the road is unpaved and does require a 4x4 or all-wheel drive vehicle to access comfortably. Think of it like a scenic drive—just a little more fun!
Please note that we cannot offer refunds for cancellations related to transportation issues. We want you to have a great time here, so come prepared and ready to enjoy all the beauty that awaits!
The space
The Gnome Retreat @ 2200 Feet

Escape to a serene and secluded cabin nestled in nature, where breathtaking long range mountain views and the sounds of a creek waterfall await. This cozy retreat features large windows that frame stunning vistas of lush mountains. Relax on the deck with your morning coffee or unwind by the fire pit under a canopy of stars.

This 2/1 mountain-top cabin has amazing long-range mountain views. But wait there’s more – you can hear the sounds of the creek waterfall from the back deck of the cabin and when it rains, you can hear another creek as well, on the other side of the deck. You'll feel like you're in your own secluded paradise. Bring your dogs, your boat, your fishing poles and all your toys. There's plenty of parking and we're only 13 minutes from Lake Chatuge and a few marinas. There are numerous hiking trails in the area and we're half hour north of Helen and one hour east of Blue Ridge. We are also 20 minutes from the Appalachian Trail and 25 minutes to the Brasstown Bald. There are countless adventures waiting for you.

How is the road to the cabin?
This cabin is on top of a mountain. About 1/4 mile of the road to the cabin is unpaved. If it rains, it may be difficult to comfortably drive up in a sedan. For this reason, although it's possible to drive up in a regular sedan if you have mountain-driving skills, we still ask that you come in a 4x4 or an all-wheel drive vehicle. Also, there are 2 ways to get here. One of the ways is very rough. Please follow the directions that will be sent to you after booking.

Are pets allowed?
We are a dog-friendly property and we have a fenced in yard, so you can let them run free. If you're allergic to dogs, please don't book. We allow up to 2 adult dogs. Puppies are not allowed. We are not charging a pet fee at this time, however, if your dog sheds, please be kind and leave a tip for our cleaner. The cleaning fee charged does not cover excessive pet hair removal. Also, dogs may not be left alone in/at the cabin. There are a few doggy daycares in the area that are very affordable.
