Luxury MtnTop Gated Home with AWESOME VIEWS Private AND convenient
Luxurious, private and secure, this gated Mountain-top Cabin is situated 13 miles from Helen and 6 miles from Hiawassee in The Chattahoochee National Forest. The amazing views of Brasstown Bald and the surrounding peaks are among the very best in GA . We have GIG-SPEED Internet + Wi-Fi plus 2) 50" & 1) 65" TV. There is Youtube TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime with Paramount, Hulu, Peacock and an Apple TV for streaming.
This is a VERY secluded setting, insuring you won't have to look into someone else's windows-- and they won't be looking into yours. Yet, it is less than 10 minutes to groceries, shopping, restaurants, a hospital, and so many other attractions. Perched high at the top on a beautiful ridge, the roads are paved all the way to our front door where you'll find covered parking for one car and space for two more. The Hot Tub deck with bistro lights and the lovely screened-in porch both overlook the Hiawassee River Valley and Brasstown Bald (the highest peak in GA) so you can soak up the breathtaking views and enjoy the cool breezes! A large gas grill with 5 burners and Food Prep station lie just outside the well appointed modern kitchen and make cooking a pleasure. ALL TOP QUALITY mattresses/linens/blankets/pillows/bath towels, etc... (you get the idea). This property is Picture Perfect and situated in an ultra peaceful spot in the heart of the N GA Mountains--- just right for a three day get-a-way or a three week escape. The downstairs is perfect for kids (Grown-Ups too!) and includes a media area, a bedroom area, and a half- bath (please see "amenities" for more details). Close to SO MANY THINGS TO DO! Go boating on Lake Chatuge, hike the Appalachian Trail, see Anna Ruby Falls, or visit Unicoi Park. Brasstown Bald is 8 miles away as the crow flies. High Shoals Falls is just 4 miles down the road. Or, see 4 states from atop Bell Mountain. There are also ongoing concerts at the GA Mountain Fair in Hiawassee. You can go fishing on the lake or fish one of the many trout streams that abound nearby. White water rafting destinations are close as well. And of course, there's shopping and sight-seeing in Helen just 13 miles down the beautiful Unicoi Parkway. OR SIMPLY RELAX AND DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in a private and extremely well appointed mountain top vacation home in a stunningly beautiful setting!
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

The house had an excellent view of the mountains. It was far enough off the road to block the road noise. We felt secure with the powered gate that controlled access to the house.

James and Melanie were amazing to work with. The communication was very quick and detailed. The house was perfect and better than advertised from the up to date high end appliances in the kitchen to the breathtaking views from the deck. They took into account every detail including the high end linen that is used on the beds, we are changing our linen at our house to these sheets now!! The road leading to the house and the driveway was a little steep but as they explained, just take it slow and in a low gear and you go right up them both with ease. Big props to the cleaning service because having hardwood flooring and allowing pets, the floors were spotless and the couches didn't have a single hair from pets on them!! We could not have asked for a more relaxing weekend. We will be back for again!!

Everything was excellent. My family enjoyed the hot tub after days of shopping and hiking in the surrounding areas. Location was perfect and the home was welcoming for the holiday season. All furniture and climate controls added to our comfortable stay. The magnificent views from all deck areas allowed for relaxing and a reminder to appreciate nature and all our blessings. The welcome baskets were a welcome surprise after our long drive and grand dog Dallas enjoyed his welcome treats. Granddaughter and family enjoyed the downstairs family area. It offered another gathering area as well as a private sleeping area. Overall a magnificent cabin in a convenient, private area and we hope to return in the future. Living in Florida it was a first time for a family member to visit mountains and waterfalls.

Great mountain views, comfortable homey feel, nicely decorated, clean, and easy to get to. Convenient entertainment whether you are casting your own music/shows/movies to the TVs or watching through the TVs themselves. Driveway was totally fine, the road getting there was actually steeper than the driveway but paved the whole way - no issues whatsoever with a 2WD sedan. The best part was the feeling of peace and solitude - the only sounds of life we heard were cows and the very infrequent cars on the road down below. Really feels like having your own private hilltop to yourself.

We loved our stay in this cabin! It was very clean, well stocked, organized and had the most beautiful views. We enjoyed the downstairs area with the games and hot tub! The cabin had plenty of room for our family of 5. The only thing that was only somewhat troublesome was the driveway. It is very steep and made me nervous each time we left or came back to the cabin. The owners left very specific directions for how to get up the driveway safely, but I would not have attempted it myself. My husband had to do all of the driving. Other than that, it was a wonderful place to stay for our family.

Jim and Melanie were extremely helpful. They provided a lot of helpful detail to make sure the check in process was smooth and that we were able to just dive into our weekend away without any problems.They have also thought of everything! They had everything we could have ever wanted in their home—they didn’t skimp on any amenities! We were welcomed with a basket of goodies and each room was well equipped with plenty of pillows, blankets, towels and washcloths. We were comfortable!The views are absolutely breathtaking! We arrived late at night and the next morning we woke up in awe of what we saw. Sitting on the screened porch, drinking my coffee and taking in the view was priceless. You will not be disappointed if you stay here!

James & Melinda were awesome! We had a question just as we were arriving and they got back with us ‘immediately.’ The view from of the mountains from the screened front porch was stunning. You could sit out there all morning and not be bored! The house was very comfortable and instructions were pretty ‘straight-forward.’ We would highly recommend this rental if you are meeting family, or friends. There are spaces in the house that enable you to play games, listen to music, talk, read or just marvel at the views. There are so many things to do in and around Hiawassee also. Would highly recommend this rental!

The views from the property are spectacular and the location is great. We were able to explore so much of the North Georgia (and NC) Mountains from this base camp.

Its a steep driveway at first but much easier the second time once you realize there is extra space at the top to maneuver into the carport. After that, everything is a breeze! Great floorplan, lots of space, amazing views from two balconies and lots of windows. Loved it. Can't wait to go back.

What a great place!
We enjoyed Melanie and Jim’s home tremendously, from the balcony’s sunset views of Brasstown Bald to the pristine cleanliness and tasteful decor. The home had everything we needed and more. The location was ideal - close enough to groceries and supplies yet secluded and private. The description was extremely accurate, and yes, the driveway is steep but not slippery (in May) even after a rain. We didn’t need the AWD at all. The drive looks more intimidating than it actually is. We were lucky enough to be there in firefly season and very much enjoyed the evening light show after amazing sunsets. This home gets five stars across the board, but only because we can’t give it a 10.
