About this property

Escape to the Mountains - Fall in love with Blue Ridge!

The Mountain Dove Family Cabin, is located halfway between Blue Ridge and Ellijay, and sits at the top of one of the best mountains the North Georgia mountain range has to offer. Our authentic log cabin provides breathtaking, long range mountain views from our over-sized multi-level deck, our large screen porch or open fire pit area. Enjoy the ever-changing colors of the evening sky over the mountains while sitting on the porch, in the hot tub, rocking in the glider or cooking out on the grill.
Our family log cabin has the eclectic rustic décor one would imagine of a custom family home, not just another rental property. The open interior of the main level pairs soaring beamed ceilings with warm leather tones, layered rugs over newly refinished pine floors, custom artwork and a warm and inviting stone fireplace. With just a touch of a button, the addition of a new, top of the line, propane fireplace adds to the mountain ambience, while maximizing heating efficiency in the winter. Two story windows provide awe-inspiring views and the canopy of trees surrounding the home provide the feeling of space and privacy in the woods. Three levels of bedrooms and bathrooms and dual living spaces make this home perfect for multiple couples or two families. Hang out in the lower level at the card table playing poker, competing at our professional level foosball table or one of the many board games provided. Throw some darts, recline on the new sofas watching a movie, or hang out around the whiskey barrel bar having a cocktail. There is ample indoor and outdoor dining, and a well equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and gas stove will please the gourmet cook of the family. Sit and rock in one of four rocking chairs or quilt covered swing on our large screen porch. The oversized deck provides for multiple seating options, a hot tub, space for grilling, dining and a propane fire pit for those preferring this solution to the lighted log burning fire pit area on the property.

The large property allows for plenty of space for kids to explore outdoors and a long private gravel drive with ample parking. We are at the top of the loop with two routes to access the property. When you reach the top, there is a "Private Drive" and a "No Rentals" sign. We are the first drive on the left and the only rental beyond that point. Please note, our community road is not a paved road. It is a gravel, single lane one mile drive. You can't get a view like this without having to travel to the top of the mountain. The view is definitely worth it, but if you're not comfortable with the idea of driving up a one-way gravel road, please find another cabin. An all-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicle is a plus, but not a must during most months. However, during the winter months and during freezing temperatures, 4-wheel drive is a necessity.

Peaceful retreat
We wanted a house big enough for three families, to be able to spread out and come together for meals. This place was perfect. Well equipped kitchen, including spices, and pantry items. Lots of throw blankets for those cool nights in front of the fireplace. Very quiet area. Nice ambiance lights on the decks and porches, plenty of firewood for the log fire pit. Our only complaints were, you can hear everything and everyone in the house, in the second and third floor bedrooms. The mattresses were slightly uncomfortable, but bearable. And lastly the washing machine smelled bad, it’s a front load and I think it’s because the door needs to be left open when not in use to keep mold from growing on the rubber ring, but with the laundry set up the way it is, you can’t leave the washer door open and close the laundry closet door. We had a great relaxing time, the one way drive did not bother me, but others in our group were a little reluctant to go up and down even with small SUV’s, my Accord went up and down with no issues.
Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2023

We are a family of four and a dog who purchased our cabin with both sides parents! We are all from Florida and enjoy experiencing the cooler evenings and change of seasons. We spent the first two years renovating, updating and refreshing our mountain getaway. We have also explored the family friendly area, hikes, restaurants, wineries, breweries and neighboring small towns. Just ask for suggestions!

Why they chose this property

Welcome to a perfect location between Ellijay and Blue Ridge. Laurel Mountain is a beautiful community with many full-time residence. Our breathtaking long range views are from the top of the mountain. Please note, our road is not a paved road. It is a gravel, single lane one mile drive. Although not at all required, we would recommend a SUV - no need for AWD or 4WD unless in the winter and only when the weather gets ugly. Depending on the time of year, you may experience our wonderful wildlife, beautiful Mountain Laurel blossoms, or outstanding fall foliage. Only a short fifteen minutes away, downtown Blue Ridge offers upscale restaurants, food tours, shopping, local breweries and wineries, and a vibrant arts scene with galleries, a theatre, and live music on weekends. Ellijay, known as the "Apple Capital of Georgia" is about twenty minutes from the cabin. Ellijay holds an annual Georgia Apple Festival in October, and a quaint downtown full of shops, restaurants and antiques. Explore numerous beautiful vineyards and fun breweries in the surrounding area or venture out to the local orchards. We are situated near 300 miles of hiking trails, as well as cycling and mountain bike trails. The Benton MacKaye Trail runs right through our community. This trail offers is accessible year-round. Our cabin is also close to nearby Ocoee River rafting. There are five 18-hole golf courses close by and skiing is only 2 1/2 hours away, with the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport only 90 minutes away . Our community is dedicated to maintaining our roads, but weather can cause the road to rut, making some sections bumpier than others. You can't get a view like this without having to travel to the top of the mountain. The view is definitely worth it. If you're not comfortable with the idea of driving up a one way dirt road, please find another cabin.

What makes this property unique

We not only have the outstanding views, but we have ample outdoor area where kids can explore and play. The layout of the house is perfect for a couple of families sharing multiple levels of living spaces. Walking around the neighborhood and trails is a great way to experience the beauty of the area. There is parking available at the base of the mountain to walk this section of the Benton MaKaye Trail.
