Poolside Mountain Retreat – Relax, Reconnect, and Recharge
Escape to this beautiful mountain retreat tucked away on six peaceful, wooded acres just outside of Ellijay, Georgia. With a private pool, cozy outdoor spaces, and plenty of room for the whole family—including your four-legged friends—this spacious cabin is the perfect place to relax and unwind.

Spend your days lounging by the pool, exploring the surrounding trails, or casting a line in one of the nearby lakes. There’s even a community hiking trail that leads straight to Carters Lake. You can also rent a boat from the marina or bring your own for a fun day on the water. In the evenings, gather around the firepit for s’mores and storytelling under the stars, or enjoy a quiet dinner on the deck while the sun sets behind the mountains.

Inside, you’ll find a warm and inviting living space with high ceilings, wood accents, and all the comforts of home. The fully stocked kitchen is a dream for cooking and entertaining, with bar seating at the island and a custom dining table that seats 8–10.

The cabin includes four spacious bedrooms:

* King on the Main with private bath with a jetted tub, stand up shower. Deck access with a gorgeous mountain view plus a Smart TV
* King on the Terrace level with a private shower/tub bathroom, Smart TV and patio access
* Queen on the Upper with a private bath, and Smart TV
* Queen on the Upper with a pool view, and Smarth TV

Downstairs, the game room is set up for fun with a pool table, foosball, air hockey, a bar area, and another smart TV. It’s a great space for movie nights, weekend sports, or letting the kids have their own hangout area.

The hot tub sits on the main deck with a beautiful view—an ideal spot to relax after a day of hiking, swimming, or exploring nearby Ellijay. Downtown is just a short drive away with local shops, restaurants, and seasonal festivals. You’ll also find orchards, vineyards, and family-friendly activities like tubing, horseback riding, and more within easy reach.

Whether you’re planning a summer vacation, fall getaway, or just need some time in nature, Poolside Mountain Retreat is the perfect home away from home.

***The pool is open seasonally from May 1 through September 30 for your enjoyment. Please note that the pool is not heated, and service is scheduled every Thursday.
If you'd like an additional cleaning during your stay, we’re happy to arrange that for an $120 fee. You’re also welcome to use the skimmer and vacuum provided if you prefer to do a quick touch-up yourself.
