Description Description
Now is the time to make the most of your vacation!  Come and enjoy and create memories at Carpe Diem!  From stunning panoramic views to high-end amenities and a prime location, this magnificent private hideaway offers everything you desire in a Georgia mountain vacation. If you want to escape the stresses of daily life, you’ll find the perfect getaway with this oasis in the woods. Here, you can unwind, relax and share good times with your loved ones as you take in spectacularly stunning mountain views from sunrise to sunset.

Located in the Cohutta Mountain Ridge, the cabin is just 15 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge, and close to a wide variety of fun activities, including horseback riding at Cowgirl Up Stables, hiking the trails of the Aska Adventure area, boating on Lake Blue Ridge, enjoying wine and live music at Bear Claw Vineyards or taking in a movie from your car at the Swan drive-in. 

Newly renovated in 2021 and beautifully designed inside and out, this home is decorated in a mountain/wildlife them. The cabin is the epitome of rustic elegance, with an all-wood interior, a mix of comfortable modern-meets-traditional furniture and a warm, welcoming ambiance. 

The airy open-plan main level, with its lofty ceiling and wall of windows to showcase the amazing view, includes a living area with leather sofas, handwoven Persian rugs mixed with authentic cowhides, a stacked stone fireplace, and DISH Network. The spacious kitchen is a cook’s dream, boasting ample cabinet space, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including a gas stove/oven, a refrigerator with icemaker/ice trays, a microwave, blender, toaster and drip coffeemaker. There’s seating for eight at the dining table, plus four at the island.

If you’d rather dine alfresco, there’s a gas grill on the main deck, a wood burning fireplace and plenty of outdoor seating including an outdoor high-top table to enjoy spectacular views and a full outdoor dining area. You can take in the view from a rocking chair or from the six-seat hot tub as you soothe your muscles and soak your stresses away. There’s a level playing area for the kids that includes a large fire pit with Adirondack chairs, two driveways and all roads to the cabin are paved. 

For drier pursuits, the downstairs family room has fun and games for all ages, with a billiards table, ping pong, foosball, board games and TV with DISH, next to the stacked stone gas fireplace. There is also a beautiful full bar featuring a live wood carpentry, a drink refrigerator and plenty of storage. 

The four bedrooms, each cooled by ceiling fans, include a bunk room that sleeps 4, and two master suites located on the main and upper levels. The main floor master features a king bed with beautiful inlaid headboard, deck access, and a spacious master bath with a large walk-in tiled shower, double vanities and separate soaking tub.  The upstairs master also has a king bed, vaulted ceiling, and private bath with an enormous shower for two people and tub.  On the lower level, the bedroom features a beautiful log post queen bed, and an adjacent separate bath and laundry facilities. 

Whichever bedroom you choose you’ll wake invigorated, relaxed and ready for another magical day in the mountains with your family or friends, including the canine ones. At Carpe Diem, you’re welcome to bring your dog with you, as long as they stay off the furniture!

Beautiful Cabin!
The cabin was beautiful. It was nice to have the fire pit plus the outside covered fire place when it rained. I would recommend this cabin to other people

Carpe Diem is an amazing home with a million dollar view. It had plenty of room for our entire family. The bathrooms were super nice! One of our favorite things was the fireplace on the porch.

Spend Time with our Neighbors!
This cabin was AMAZING! Our family had a great weekend and, we will always remember this trip. We loved how there was already firewood provided. We spent a lot of time sitting by the fire and watching Collage football. Our family loved all the space of this cabin. The mountain views were so pretty. We loved watching sunrises and sunsets over the mountain. It was wonderful! Thank you.

Family Get Together
This makes my second trip down this way. I want to thank you for our pleasant stay. The living quarters are always clean and equipped for what we need. Again, thank you for a fantastic voyage. The most memorable was having no TV in my room. This led me to stay in the living room much of the time here. Again, thank you for bringing my family together to have the chance to enjoy one to another. I look again to return with all my children and friends. We all had a very nice time. The view was the best.

Carpe Diem was perfect for our family, it had the rooms spaced out over the house giving privacy to our grown children and because it rained the whole time we were there, the game room was well liked and used. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware. Loved the wood burning fireplace on the covered porch since we couldn't use the fire pit due to the weather. Overall we really loved the house. Just wish we had better weather.

The CLEANLINESS was exceptional throughout the entire home. The presentation of towels, toiletries, kitchen items, etc. really gave it a personal touch! The home is beautifully decorated and the beds are very comfortable. The paved concrete driveway is a huge bonus considering the angle.
