Built in 2008, the Summit stands at the top of Bill's Ridge at an elevation of 2,365 ft., one of the highest elevations in Fannin County. It's easy to find though, as the road to the top of the mountain literally ends at this very private and luxurious cabin. To add to the privacy, the back of the cabin and property actually adjoins the national forest. It's not hard to see why deer frequently meander through the property and are easily spotted from the deck virtually every day around sunrise and sunset.
The cabin itself is constructed of hand hewn pine but the windows of this structure dominate as it boasts an enormous two story front gable and two gables on either side giving the living area and kitchen an abundance of light and awe inspiring views of the natural setting outside. A ten foot wrap around covered deck as well as an uncovered patio area allows for great enjoyment of the surroundings. Two fire places, one located on the outside deck, add to the over all warmth and charm. In addition, two tables that both seat four comfortably for al fresco dining make it convenient to enjoy your favorite meal while enjoying the beautiful sunset which occurs right off of the Western deck where the outside tables and dining is located. Breathtaking views as the sun sets over the mountains in the distance add to a wonderful dining experience.
The cabin also boasts exquisitely hand carved teak furniture imported from Indonesia (including all of the bedroom furniture) and coupled with the hand scraped hard wood floors add to the rich feel and atmosphere of refined rustic flair. The cabin has four bedrooms (two kings and two queens) each having their own private bathroom with shower and/or tub and each bedroom has their own television. The master bedroom has a separate shower and jetted jacuzzi tub as well as it's own private and very spacious West facing veranda. Each bathroom has been carefully styled with it's own blend of natural travertine stone not just in the showers/baths themselves but throughout all of the bathroom and vanity areas making each a unique feature to the bedrooms they accompany.
The recreational room downstairs includes plush carpeting, thirteen foot ceilings, enormous transom windows, an exquisitely detailed eight foot billiard table as well as a full wet bar with refrigerator and dishwasher. It also includes a comfortable sitting area with television that can be viewed from all areas of the rec room. A six person fully jetted hot tub is located off of the rec room outside and has gorgeous views of the surroundings.
A 40" Mistubishi LCD 1080p high definition flat screen with center voice speaker in the great room allows you to enjoy your favorite movies and sports while on your vacation. Also, the entire cabin is complimented by an ipod friendly audio system that is wired throughout the house and includes robust speakers in the main living area, outside decks and dining area, hot tub location and of course the entire rec room is wired for sound as well, making sure you are able to hear your favorite music wherever you are inside or outside of the cabin. Speaker volume controls in each room/location make it convenient to adjust the sound depending on your specific needs.
Most importantly, the location of The Summit is unsurpassed for all of your vacation needs. It can be reached by a short drive from the town of Blue Ridge down Aska Rd which is one of the most beautiful drives in the Blue Ridge area, or by Stanley Creek Rd. which winds through a canopy of forest as it makes it's way through the Rich Mountain Wildlife Preserve. Excellent hiking and trail heads are 3 miles in either direction down Aska or Stanley Creek Rd., with a beautiful waterfall easily accessible from the Stanley Creek Rd. trail head. The entrance to the mountain where The Summit is located is within walking distance of the Toccoa River where an abundance of trout fishing and rafting are available. It's also less than 1/4 mile to the Toccoa Riverside restaurant which sits along side the river with great views of the rushing waters below, and is arguably the best restaurant in the county specializing in, you guessed it, freshly caught trout.
Another 1/4 mile down from the restaurant is the Toccoa Wilderness Outpost which offers rafting gear, grocery supplies as well as a full breakfast menu each morning and phenomenal home made barbecue for lunch. Just on the other side of the river is beautiful Lake Blue Ridge. The lake can be accessed by boat launch 5 1/2 miles down Aska Rd or by driving another few miles to the marina. Pontoon boats and jet ski rentals are available by the day or half day. In addition, less than an hour away, the Ocoee River with class 3, 4, & 5 rapids offers some of the best adventure rafting and kayaking in the region. If adventure isn't on the agenda for the day, the charming town of Blue Ridge offers a beautiful setting to take in it's quaint shops and cafes and it is also the departure location for the famous Blue Ridge Scenic Railway.
This cabin has a unique blend of refinement and unquestionable rustic charm which is complimented by it's one of a kind setting. It is our hope that this combination allows you to better feel the distinctive beauty as well as the rugged wilderness that are both hallmarks of the North Georgia Mountains and serve as the perfect site for this unparalleled get away that we call...The Summit.
