The Space:

This charming cabin is waiting to welcome you to the perfect country getaway. Perched atop a scenic hill, this easy-access cabin is situated to showcase amazing surrounding views. The covered deck comes furnished for all-day outdoor leisure.

The views from this rental are just breath taking. It’s very serene and so wonderful to wake up to, either from the bedroom windows, or living room. We didn’t need the fireplace, but I imagine that would be even more relaxing on cool evenings. The hot tub was wonderful after a long day hiking/out on the town. The only down side was the spiders all over outside. But thankfully they had spray, which we used and did help. The kitchen was stocked that we were able to make our meals there for the week. The bed was comfy, AC/heat worked great, and the showers had decent pressure. It was a wonderful stay and I highly recommend this rental!

What a wonderful review, and thank you so much for taking the time to share it. We're thrilled the breathtaking views made such an impression, whether you were waking up to them from the bedroom or relaxing in the living room. It sounds like the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind after your hiking adventures, and we're so glad the well-stocked kitchen made it easy to enjoy meals during your week with us. We'd absolutely love to welcome you back anytime to enjoy those serene views again. The VueStay Team

Excellent stay

Had a long weekend here with my son and we enjoyed our time. There's a nice mountain view from the porch which you can also see from the living room and master bedroom. The beds are comfortable and kitchen had everything we need. We enjoyed playing Battleship while waiting out a storm. The location is close to all the places we like to visit so it worked out well!

Perfect Getaway from Atlanta

Distance wise, this is the perfect weekend getaway. Beyond that, nothing beats the glass window panels to appreciate the view from the comfort of the bed. The cabin is equipped with anything you might need for a weekend, and in a quiet and tranquil area. Its been our favorite mountain stay in a long time.

Mountain getaway

We really enjoyed our stay. It was very clean, cozy and quiet. The view was very nice as well. They have everything you need (besides food).Our only complaint was the hot tub wasn’t in operation and we were really looking forward to using. Otherwise A+ property.

An absolutely amazing view & cabin! I had the best time with my 7 month old & my friend! The cabin is beautiful with a beautiful layout. Cutest decor and very nice feeling. They have everything you could possibly need! If you want to cook there's plenty of seasonings & dishes. More than I've seen at most places I've stayed. They have movies, books, & games! We didn't hardly need to leave the cabin. The master bedroom has the biggest sliding glass doors with the most clear view looking right out into the mountains. The hot tub was clean & big!! I would hands down stay here again!
