Lakeside Retreat: Explore 35 acres of wilderness and private lake, hot tub

Whether you are enjoying a small intimate getaway as a couple or are planning to take the whole family, we believe our Lakeside Retreat will offer an amazing experience for you in Ellijay in the south Blue Ridge Mountains. You will have private and exclusive access to Misty Morning Lake, our 3-acre fully stocked fishing (catch and release), swimming, and small boat lake. You will also have access to our numerous accessible and well-groomed private trails and roads throughout the forested 35-acre property. You can nature walk, hike, trail jog or mountain bike throughout. Or simply head to the hilltop, have a picnic, and marvel at the beautiful mountain view. You and your family will enjoy the comforts of the cabin, and we hope you will find many pleasant surprises.

If you need additional cabin space, for additional friends and/or family you can also investigate the adjoining sister property on an additional 20 acres at the Hilltop Retreat VRBO.com/3953069. Speak with your host after booking for more information.
