Cozy Mountaintop Cottage: Excellent Wi-fi, Beautiful Views, & Perfect Location!!

Mountaintop Memories Cottage

You are invited to come and stay at our little cozy cottage in the mountains. Make an escape from the chaos and travel the long winding well maintained driveway up the mountain surrounded by private property and US Forest land. Since our driveway is gravel and steep, we recommend that you drive a 4X4 or a vehicle with good traction. No low to the ground vehicles or motorcycles!! You will see that it was worth the drive upon arrival at your secluded and peaceful retreat where wonderful memories are waiting to be made!!

Walk up on the porch that wraps around three sides of the cottage. Grab a cup of coffee, sit on the porch awhile, and enjoy the views of Rabun Bald and Alex Mountain. Chances are you will hear the gobble of a turkey, the hoot of an owl, or the sweet call of a dove. Enter Mountaintop Memories Cottage with a keyless entry. This cottage offers 2 BR, 1 BA, a full kitchen, dining and living area, and laundry room with washer and dryer. The living area is open to the dining and kitchen with plenty of seating for lounging, eating, or playing a game. We have a good variety of books, games, and puzzles to enjoy!! Watch a movie or your favorite show on the 50" Roku TV that is visible from the entire living area. A bonus for our mountain location is that we offer Starlink Wi-fi to keep you connected with your devices. The kitchen is stocked with all appliances as well as a k-cup Keurig coffee pot, cookware, serving dishes, cooking and eating utensils, and items for the outdoor gas grill located on the side of the cottage under the covered porch. Also provided are olive oil, salt, pepper, and various spices that you might forget to bring. Dish washer tablets, dish soap, hand soap, all-purpose cleaner, aluminum foil, clear wrap, and ziplock bags are provided for your convenience. Down the hallway, the main bedroom is located with a queen bed and a Roku TV. Located directly across the hall from the main bedroom is the second bedroom that includes a twin bed. Unfortunately, the cottage only comfortably sleeps 3 people. If you are traveling with additional children, there is room for a queen air mattress in the living room. Contact me if you have questions or need additional linens, I will be more than happy to accommodate you. Bed linens, extra blankets, and towels are provided along with complimentary soap, shampoo, paper products, and laundry supplies are all included with your stay.

Enjoy the cool evenings at the fire pit area sitting in vintage outdoor furniture. You will get to enjoy the crisp mountain air, the smell of the fire, the sound of the katydids, and the feeling of peace and pure relaxation!!! Firewood will be provided for you under the covered shed in the dry. All you need is your S'more ingredients!! Located next to the fire pit area is a horseshoe pit ready for some friendly competition!!

Peaceful privacy
This was an absolutely perfect weekend getaway experience! My wife and I agree that this is our new place to sneak away to. It's ideal for a couple or small family. There's indoor table games for rainy days and also horseshoes, yard darts, cornhole and an outdoor area to hang out with a fire pit.. the wraparound porch has a gas grill, patio furniture and INSANE mountain views! The property is in close proximity to Clayton Ga. and Franklin N.C. if you want a nice night out.. I can't say enough good things. We love it and can't wait to go back!

Fun and Peaceful Getaway
My boys (9 and 12) and I came to Scaly Mountain for the Bear Shadow Music Festival but also wanted a break from the city and get away from it all. This place was perfect. We loved our entire stay and only wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the property more. To be honest we enjoyed the property so much we were bummed to leave to the music festival each day and not just relax and hang out by the fire pit. The house was clean and had everything we needed and more. We spent as much time on the porch enjoying the view and by the fire pit playing games, roasting hot dogs and marshmallows as was possible. We saw lizards, turkeys, all kinds of birds, and so many stars. My boys and I were able to create some amazing memories here that I will never forget. There are a ton of activities we found nearby that we still need to do and more memories to create so we are definitely planning another trip here when we can. Do yourself a favor by escaping to this beautiful property in the mountains and just get away from it all.
