This charming mountain cabin, complete with a vast porch offering breathtaking views throughout the year, epitomizes the essence of mountain living. The cabin is beautifully furnished and nestled in a serene mountain setting, yet it remains conveniently close (15-20 minutes) to the vibrant downtown Ellijay, with its quaint shops, rafting facilities, and an array of orchards and vineyards. The cabin features two master suites and a secondary family room on the terrace level, ideal for movie nights or engaging in a thrilling game of Pac-Man. It also includes a full bath, a bonus room leading to a hot tub, and a pathway to a large fire pit perfect for s'mores. The main level boasts an expansive, screened porch for outdoor dining beneath the stars, complemented by a wood-burning, stacked stone fireplace, wood-paneled walls, and a cathedral ceiling. Abundant natural light floods in through two sets of sliding glass doors and large windows, highlighting the wooden beams and offering the picturesque mountain views that make this property so desirable. Each master suite features a private bathroom and walk-in closet, located on both the main and upper floors, which also houses a cozy loft area, ideal as a reading nook. All furniture and accessories, thoughtfully selected by a designer, are included with the cabin. The community adds to the charm with amenities like picnic tables, a fire pit, a pavilion, and a babbling brook with swings, all within a short walk from the cabin.
