Highly Sought After TOTALLY Secluded 5Bed Luxury Lodge with Breathtaking Views

Nestled in privacy on seven TOTALLY PRIVATE acres and overlooking 500 acres of unspoiled wilderness and captivating mountain views, you know you have arrived at heaven’s gate. This is the luxury North Georgia lodge you have been dreaming about. With over 3,400 sqft and ample parking, this spacious cabin has something for everyone. Featuring all paved access and a gentle mountain climb, you arrive at this secluded retreat, one of pure uncomplicated bliss.

Heaven's Gate is a spectacular five bedroom, three and a half bath upscale cabin. It offers an open floor plan, majestic stone fireplace, and a wall of windows to enjoy conversations while taking in breathtaking long-range mountain views. This mountain getaway offers games for everyone, so why not host a tournament of pool, foosball, or air hockey or play one of the board games or the arcade. The media center boasts a 50" HDTV screen with surround sound, a PlayStation Game Console, an Xbox Game Console, and over 50 movies and video games ensure endless entertainment. There are seven HDTVs and unlimited high speed WiFi. Smart TVs and game consoles have Netflix/HULU streaming services.

Venture out onto the terrace patio and soak in the spacious hot tub or cozy up to the fire pit and enjoy s’mores and telling stories as the sun sets over the mountains. The wrap around deck featuring comfortable seating around a granite fire table is a great conversation place. An outdoor playground with climbing wall, swings, and pirate fort is also available for the little ones to enjoy nature’s beauty. The site is a certified wildlife habitat with the National Wildlife Federation for the naturalist at heart.

The cabin is family friendly and pet friendly. Please ask about the amenities for young children including a highchair, packn'play, bed guards, and baby gates. For your furry family member, we provide a dog crate, bed, food bowls, and fully fenced back yard. The pet fee includes one pet. An additional dog may be approved on a case by case basis.

Located nearby are spirited mountain bike trails, Bear Creek, Appalachian and Benton MacKaye trails, Lake Conasauga, Amicalola Falls, zip lining, horseback riding, golf, apple orchards, and local wineries.

Each floor has its own climate controls and a high efficiency washer and dryer are provided for guest convenience.

Each of the bedrooms, great room, loft, dining room, balcony, terrace, and the games room all have amazing views of the long range mountains.

When you are ready for a meal, the gourmet kitchen with custom cabinets, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances is fully stocked with all the conveniences and cooking tools the chef needs. There is a Keurig Coffee machine, drip coffee, waffle maker, slow cooker, griddle, toaster, and kettle to name a few. Just bring the provisions and let your culinary creativity flow. The dining area has table seating for eight with additional seating at the kitchen island. There is a stainless steel propane gas grill and charcoal smoker for the grilling enthusiast.

We had the pleasure of spending the MLK weekend with family and friends at this lovely cabin. It was close to everything but yet it was set apart, so you got the feel of being in a secluded cabin. The beds were comfortable, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. I loved the dining area. There is a huge square table that seats 8, it was good for eating, playing board games, and talking. The living area has a gas fireplace that kept the house nice and cozy. The kitchen was well stocked with everything imaginable including extra pots and pans, plenty of silverware, waffle maker, mixer and electric skillet ... everything! This cabin should be called Fun Times because there are games galore. There was a pool table, air hockey, foosball and even books, videos and board games. Outside there is a little fort area with a swing and rock wall for the kids. The fire pit was awesome. There is even a clear area out back, if you want to throw the football around. Simply put, this cabin has something for everyone. The owners are kind and accommodating. They want you to really enjoy your stay. They provided us with things to do in the area. They really took care of us. I would recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to have a carefree good time!

Amazing stay/amazing location!

We had family travel from South Florida and Oregon for a family weekend away in the mountains. This home was nothing short of perfect for our family! The only downfall is we wish we booked a longer stay. Beautiful views, and a beautiful home. Lee was also very communicative during our stay for questions we had. Highly recommend.

Great getaway spot for family vacation

This is a great home for a secluded getaway vacation. The views were spectacular. Did some easy day trips to Chattanooga and Atlanta, and downtown Ellijay was lovely for shopping and eating out too. The house was great, lots of space of a large family (and a dog).

Wonderful Weekend Getaway with the Family

The cabin was perfect for our family to get together for the weekend. Everything was clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the large table in the dining provided plenty of seating. There was a beautiful Fall view from the deck, and the gas fire pit on the deck was great. We would highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a mountain getaway.

This home was everything and then some! We went a few weeks before Christmas with our adult children and their spouses and all were very impressed. The house was very spacious and the views were absolutely beautiful! The house was immaculate, very well equipped and decorated for the holiday with a beautiful Christmas tree with the view of the mountains behind it! The host was very accommodating.

Just what the doctor ordered :-)

We enjoyed our brief stay. Lots of room for a large family and full of things to do on a rainy day. We were close enough to town for convenience but far enough so we felt as though we were in a home in the middle of a nature wonderland ! The property is very well maintained and has all of the necessities that a large family would require. The owner responded promptly with any phone calls or emails and doing so while hurricane Irma was all around him.

Wonderful spring break getaway

We had a group of 2 families, 7 people total and had plenty of room for all of us. Our teenagers loved having their own queen size bed and the parents both had king size beds, all were comfy. The kitchen has everything you need, along with a grill and smoker outside too. It was chilly while we were there, but the temp in the cabin stayed warm all week. The view is absolutely amazing and spending time on the porch is a must. It's close to a lot of great places to visit. The roads and driveway are all paved which made travel easy. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful home!

We had an amazing time at the house! It was amazingly well-stocked for a rental home, extremely clean, and very comfortable. There was plenty of space for all of us. The kids loved the air hockey table and the pool table. The adults loved enjoying the shade out on the porch each evening. A lot of fun places to go were within 30-45 minutes. The owners were fabulous and communicated with us very quickly. I would highly recommend this house to anyone wanting a remote and peaceful setting.

70th birthday party for six people with two additional spouses.

And although we could not get the fire table to stay on, the downstairs fireplace was used both Friday and Saturday and work well with firewood that was provided and firewood that we brought. Heaven’s Gate is a treasure and we thoroughly enjoyed the indoor fireplace and gathering areas. The hot tub worked well and everybody had a great time. Lee, the owner, was very informative and splendid to work with. We look forward to using Heaven’s Gate again.

PERFECT FOR OUR FAMILY

For 15 years our family has shared an annual fall vacation. We have grown into quite a number so finding this gorgeous 5 bedroom home was a blessing. Lee is super easy to get in touch with and just strives for his guest to have exactly what they need. Our family mealtimes were made extra special with the large oversized dining table, it is much larger than in the photos. The beds and pillows are a dream to sleep on!!! The children had a blast on the backyard climbing fort and the view from every room in this home is magnificent. The fire table was a gathering place for us all out of doors!!! There are so many options to do at this home there is not need to leave. We already booked for next year!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our unforgettable weekend!

Lee's cabin served our family well, as we surprised my husband for his 70th birthday. The 4 day trip was planned with him thinking it was just he and I getting away in a small cabin. The look on his face when I pulled in the driveway was priceless as all our children and grandchildren were standing outside welcoming us. The 5 bedroom, 4 bath cabin served our family perfectly. The brand new washer and dryer came in handy. The kitchen was stocked liked my kitchen at home with nothing lacking. The view is gorgeous!!!! Plenty of games and toys for the young ones. The hot tub and the fire table was a big hit with our adult children. We treated the cabin as our own home and our deposit was returned in 1 day. We hope to visit again one day, as our stay was perfect!!!

Perfect location. Quiet. Beautiful vista. Plenty for room for our 5 couples. Suggestions: (1) comfortable chairs in upstairs bedroom- Our upstairs bedroom had only a small rocker & two stuffed floor level "beanbag-like" sitting supports. Not good for my wife with recent back surgery. (2) Mirrors for bedrooms (Ladies' suggestion.) (3) Eradicate small flying black bugs in kitchen area. (4) Luggage rack-- with limited closets, clothes remained in suitcase on the floor. Minor issues that did not detract from the enjoyment. William Watson

Perfect for a family vacation. Totally relaxing with plenty to do nearby if you wish!

The house was spotless when we arrived. It was beautiful and spacious, with plenty of room for the 8 of us and our dog! The outside areas were even better than the photos. We especially loved the covered area by the fire table. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with plenty of plates/bowls and flatwear as well as serving dishes and pots and pans (much to my kids’ disappointment we couldn’t find all the parts of the advertised milkshake maker!). The owner Lee was extremely helpful, contacting us before the trip with extra information. The house had an easy to understand binder with information and directions about anything and everything in the cabin. That, combined with the emailed information we got about the area and arrival instructions, really answered every question we had. The owners obviously went above and beyond to make sure renters had all their questions answered and had an enjoyable stay! We had a wonderful time and would love to return someday! Definitely recommend this property.

Our two week vacation at Heaven's Gate was picture perfect! Started with 4 and ended with 9 people and everyone agreed that our stay was perfect! Gated, but totally private with well paved roads was a relief for us Floridians. Beds were very comfortable and layout gave everyone plenty of privacy. Kitchen was well stocked and family dining was enjoyable ending with many games being played around the table. Kids loved the activities downstairs. Lee was a pleasure to work with and easily accessible when needed. Our adventures included daily trips to Atlanta, Ellijay, Blue Ridge, and Dahlonega with some favorites being Carter's Lake(pontoon rental,) Lucy's,(fried chicken) Smith House, (fried okra) Joe's BarBQ, Amicalola Falls, R&A Orchards and seeing a Braves game in their new stadium. Seeing the wildlife and making s'mores in the fire pit was truly memorable. We highly recommend this lovely cabin rental and would love to return. Hope to include river rafting/tubing and zip lining on our next visit. We enjoyed the area so much, we even contacted a local realtor while there. Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven with us.

Absolutely wonderful

The beginning of the rental process for this property is the beginning of a wonderful vacation. The owner was very responsive, welcoming and kind. (And remained that way throughout the whole process) All questions were answered promptly and in a way that made me feel that he was genuinely glad to communicate with me. The directions to the property were excellent and cabin itself was exactly as presented online. The cabin was extremely clean, comfortably furnished and spacious, with personality. Not just an overgrown motel as some properties tend to feel like. And the view was amazing. Coffee on the deck watching the sun come up over the mountains was truly the high point of each day. (The bear by the garbage can was an eye opener too! He moved on after deciding that bear proof really meant bear proof) My family came away from the stay at the cabin feeling rested and refreshed. And anxious to come back for another visit. Thank you so much Lee. We will certainly be back.

About the host

Hosted by Lee

Host profile image
We are easy going and love the outdoors. Thank you for considering our cabin.

Mena & Lee have rented and owned cabins in the North Georgia Mountains for over 15 years. We used to vacation in the Gatlinburg, TN area, but over time found it to be too commercialized. On our search for a new vacation destination, we quickly fell in love with the quaint North Georgia towns of Blue Ridge and Ellijay and the friendliness of the locals.

We would like to welcome you to our cabin and hope you will have an amazing stay. We created Heaven's Gate to be more than that home away from home. It was designed to be super comfortable and well equipped so that guests could relax and reconnect. The cabin is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is only minutes from downtown Ellijay and boasts privacy, where nature and wildlife are only steps from your door.

One of the things we pride ourselves on is being accessible to our guests and future guests, so feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Why they chose this property

Nestled in privacy on seven TOTALLY PRIVATE acres and offering a wall of windows overlooking 500 acres of unspoiled wilderness and captivating mountain views, Heaven's Gate Lodge is 3400 sqft with all paved access and 10 minutes to town and 90 minutes from Atlanta.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, privacy, privacy. Waking up as the sun greats you is truly something to treasure. The cabin is located in a upscale gated community with all paved access and end-of-the-road privacy. The cabin overlooks 500 acres of unspoiled wilderness. This is where beautiful memories are made.
