Description Description
It took the owners three years of searching the North Georgia Mountains for the perfect spot for their cabin. It had to have paved access, privacy, and of course, spectacular mountain views. No easy task. But they found a Blue Ridge location for their Mountainside Retreat, and it’s there today, beckoning you to come and enjoy nature’s glory and all the amenities it has to offer. 

From the moment you arrive, you’ll be transformed: the peaceful surroundings will put you in a tranquil, stress-free frame of mind. The majestic two-story cabin is the epitome of rustic elegance with all the creature comforts you desire.  Built from hand-scraped stained wood throughout the interior and exterior of the cabin, it features designer lighting, high end furnishings, a chef-inspired kitchen, granite countertops throughout, and extra-large picture windows in the family room and terrace level that optimize the grandeur of the majestic mountain landscape.

The cabin’s walls and ceilings are all tongue-and-groove wood, finished to accentuate natural knotholes. High-end rustic furnishings and mountain décor with wildlife, pine trees, and landscape themes make the rooms comfortable and inviting. You can relax and stream your favorite programs on in each of the three bedrooms or on the Smart TVs with DVD in the family room and game room, all equipped with satellite and accessible inputs for game systems and laptops (don’t forget your cables!)

In the game room, you’ll also find a regulation billiards table, a stone gas fireplace, game table, and bar with refrigerator, wine rack and specialty glasses for your favorite libations. There‘s plenty of fun to be had outdoors too. 

The main level screened-in porch boasts a wood-burning fireplace and plenty of seating.  There is a gas grill on the main deck to enjoy a barbeque and the terrace level has a five-person hot tub where you can soak your cares away. Both decks have plenty of seating, allowing you to settle in and take in the scenery.  The master bedroom has a private deck where you can enjoy morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. At Mountainside Retreat, sunrises are spectacular; many mornings have clouds in the valley below, making it seem like you are floating above the clouds, and the red sunsets give the mountains a fiery appearance. 

Inside, the modern kitchen features granite counter tops, raised bar with bar stools, stainless steel appliances, refrigerator with crushed and cubed ice, five burner gas stove with convection oven, and microwave vent-a-hood. The adjacent dining room comfortably seats six.

There’s sleeping space for eight in the cabin’s three bedrooms--each with a king bed and luxurious pillow top mattress—and the full-size futon in the game room. The log or pine beds and coordinating furnishings, mountain-themed quilts, decorative pillows and velvet blankets ensure your sweet dreams.  

Mountainside Retreat’s three bathrooms are lavishly appointed, starting with the tub and tiled rain-style shower, double vanities, rustic cabinetry and granite counter tops in the master bath. The terrace level bathroom features an oversized tile walk-in shower and laundry facilities are in the main level bathroom closet.  

If you want all the comforts of home in a setting you can’t get anywhere else, Mountainside Retreat is the perfect place to spend the vacation of your dreams.

This cabin is very well maintained inside and outside. The owners take very good care of it. The kitchen has everything needed to prepare meals. Our family enjoys preparing meals in the cabin and always has everything we need. Enjoy the basement pool table, hot tub, mountain views, rocking chairs on porch, large gas grill, large dining room table to play games and eat with our family of 8. We've stayed here several times and always emasculate and has all the garbage bags, toilet paper, dish pods and soap, etc we need.

Proposal!
We walked downtown Blue Ridge and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. My daughter who was proposed to by her fiancé’ and his family who stayed in a cabin close by. Thank you for a beautiful stay, always a pleasure coming up to Blue Ridge. We have done this for 6 years now but stayed in another cabin, thank you!!! After my daughter was proposed to we were all (our family and our future son-in-law) at their cabin to surprise her and celebrate with them.

Perfect!
Perfect! This cabin is beautiful inside and out! Amazing views and while it is not secluded it has tons of privacy. Mountain view is spectacular. The home has everything you will need and everything has its place which makes for an easy clean up upon departure. While it is at the top of a mountain it is a nice paved road.

We love Mountainside Retreat and have rented it a number of times. The owners of the house did an amazing job. The location, the house itself and the mountains. We treat the house like it is our own. We love the new living room set, garbage can, the new artwork and signs, new cookware (hurry), new pillows in the living room, and on the patio. We love the new area on the top of the steps, the chair, table and rug. Great addition.

The home was beautiful and well appointed. The fireplaces, decks, and game room were wonderful. The views felt like we were the only ones on the mountain, no other cabins to make us feel closed in. The photos of the house were exactly as the house was when we arrived. The staff was so helpful and friendly with lots of information of the area. Would recommend to anyone coming to the area and will will use you again.
