What an incredible place! Absolutely beautiful and private. There are a couple of other properties on the same road but they are spaced out very well and you can't see another place at all from this one, at night you can't even see lights from another place. We loved it for several reasons, but one was because we were able to bring our dogs with us and they were able to run around on the porch out back and still be secure. This cabin is very well done, it's decorated impeccably and has literally everything that you might could need. There's a grocery store and restaurants in town which is a fairly quick drive, but once you get back up on the ridge it's like youre in another world. I just can't recommend this place enough. We will absolutely be coming back.
Wow! We needed a spot to land for Cress Creeks’ farm to table dinner and have usually stayed in Blue Ridge but wanted to be closer to the farm. My husband’s only request was a good mountain view. Well with Summit House, you get that and so much more. This is the epitome of a cozy mountain cabin. You go up a windy road (there are some bumps along the way and tight squeezes around some corners), hit a wooden bridge that was all decked out for the July 4th holiday & pass a mini bamboo forest. You’ll pull up directly to the cabin and immediately see the views. The wrap around screened in porch was a super treat so regardless of where you were, you had a view. The hot tub overlooks the expansive views as well. The porch along with the entire cabin is decorated in cozy cabin motifs. The rooms were about the same size & even included robes which was a nice touch. A for cleanliness and the cabin had everything we needed. Loved the dog run under the cabin too! Darrell was our point of contact & checked up on us and was super easy to get ahold of. I would highly recommend! This is very close to the Ellijay downtown and a 15 minute drive to Blue Ridge. We didn’t get an opportunity to hit up Roo Winery but it was very close to the cabin and on our list for next time.
