About this cabin rental

This is our Hilltop Retreat which includes 20 acres & hot tub. Come experience the feeling of being pampered while also enjoying the wilderness.

This refined, cozy, and newly renovated mountain cabin property offers a touch of luxury in its three bedrooms and two bathrooms for 6 people, an expansive wrap around screened porch and 20 acres of wilderness for relaxing and exploring. Whether you come with your family for vacation or as a couple's getaway, you will find relaxation and tranquility in this quiet property in the wilderness.

Additional Notes:
The driveway to the Hilltop Cabin and the parking around the cabin is newly built and in good working order. However, the final approach to the Hilltop Cabin is a steep grade and it is recommended that you utilize 4-wheel drive. If this is of concern, you can look at our sister property, The Lakeside Retreat (www.vrbo.com/2342047) as this adjoining property has no steep slope concerns.


If you are looking to vacation with additional family or friends and want more space to spread out, you have the option to also book the neighboring property at the Lakeside Retreat which has exclusive access to our private swimming and fishing lake (Misty Morning Lake) and can host 8 people. www.vrbo.com/2342047

Please discuss with your host if the private access to our entire resort property is desired. Our entire woodland and lake resort spans 55 acres of hiking trails, picnic areas, swimming, fishing, boating, camping, RV parking, etc. If this is something of interest to you and your guests, please contact your host for details.


At the Hilltop Retreat Cabin, you will find a first-floor master bedroom with an amazingly comfortable king bed, two-night tables and closet for all of your belongings. From the first-floor master, you may access the screened porch from the sliding glass door.
Our first-floor living room offers a leather couch with recliners and TV & entertainment center for cozy movie nights. The kitchen is well equipped with pots & pans, dishes, blender, toaster, microwave, split oven and range, dishwasher, crockpot and coffee maker. Our laundry room has a full-size washer & dryer and minifridge for beverages. The downstairs bathroom has a beautiful sink, and glass sliding door into a custom shower with stone and tile and double shower heads. Our dining room seats 6 or move to the porch for another dining table to eat on a screened porch overlooking the front garden and forest.

Upstairs we have another living area with two leather recliners, a leather couch, a game table, and a large screen TV. You will find a custom-built bunk room with 2 twin bunks, chest of drawers and closet and a giant bean bag chair. The secondary master bedroom which is also located upstairs offers another luxury king bed, a desk for mobile working, chest of drawers and closet. We have high speed fiber WIFI for easy access to the Internet (we wager it matches or exceeds your home Wi-Fi speeds). Both bedrooms upstairs feature black out blinds to enjoy a great night's sleep. The upper bathroom has a large custom tile and stone shower and double vanity.

Each of the TVs in the two lounge areas are equipped with intuitive, single remote Roku devices for access to your streaming services. With our high-speed internet you will have seamless streaming options on your devices, computers or on our TVs.

We have a large, screened porch with additional seating for dining or conversation. Outside there is a brand new luxurious 6-person hot tub which overlooks the fire pit with Adirondack chairs for relaxing while taking in the woodland views. Watching the stars at night from the hot tub is amazing experience. We have very little light pollution and the number of stars that are visible to the naked eye is awe inspiring.

There is so much to do on the property or in the area for the outdoor adventurer such as hiking, mountain biking, fishing, or rafting and tubing. Visit the apple houses in Ellijay or Blue Ridge for all the harvest delights! There are wineries, breweries and tasty restaurants for the food explorer. Lots of fun shopping options in Ellijay or Blue Ridge for those who like to leisurely stroll and window shop.

Amazing on all fronts!! My wife qand myself work as property managers for over 60 vacation properties in the florida keys and i have been a hospitality manager with Hyatt for over a decade. This home and the environment Nicole has created is way above and beyond what we have experienced with cabins or rentals in the past. The home, the property, trails, and of course the owners were all out of this world. Just for example I was in the hospital for a few days during our stay with a slipped disc in my back and a hernia. I needed time to recover for our 15 hour drive home. Nicole extended our stay and gave us a late check out, its wonderful to know there is still good people in this world. We will be returning hopefully in October with the rest of our extended family to rent the Hilltop and the lakeside cabin so we can share this slice of pure bliss with the rest of our family. We are very very very excited to return. Wish I could give 10 stars instead of 5. Side note this is our first rental that was set up perfect start to finish. Amenities Cooking suppliesHouse was amazingly clean Property was pristine Tasteful decor Extremely comfortable beds and seatingYes the driveway is steep but WELL MAINTAINEDTHE SMORES AND PEEPS!!!!!Out of the 30 some odd cabins we've stayed at over the years this is the only one all 3 of us (wife(39yo), daughter (15yo),and myself 35) are eager to return to this property. And share it with the rest of our family!

Cabin was amazing and the land surrounding it - unreal! The hot tub was so relaxing, would definitely return.
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2026
This is a great escape for the weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed the property and just how quiet the surrounding area was. The owners are very informative of the property and surrounding Ellijay area. Our only gripe was the septic gas smell in the downstairs bathroom.
