About this property

Mountain top overlooking lake, Hot Tub, Pickleball, Yukon Fire Pit, 5 STAR, PETS

We have 3 homes in the private gated lake community. We have over 450 reviews of 5 stars ***** on our three vacation homes!!! Please see the bottom of the listing to view our 2 other homes in the same private gated lake community.

New commercial cornhole boards!

Our cabin is not on the water front. It is on a mountaintop overlooking the lake. We have a dock slip at the marina if you want to rent our boat.

We have a Solo Yukon fire pit, just bring your own wood! Enjoy the outdoors next to a fire on the deck. We replaced the gas one with this smokeless wood pit. No need to bring your cornhole set, we have one in the backyard!

We have 4 newer resurfaced pickleball courts in the community!

Special pricing for 4-6 night stays (during off-peak season). The discount is already computed with 7 or more date inquiries. The discount is $112 for the 4th, 5th, AND 6th nights. You must inquire for the pricing before booking. The VRBO system does not properly price visits of this duration (4-6 nights). One week rentals and more are automatically discounted by the system (during off-peak season).

We can only fit 2 cars at the property. THERE IS NO PARKING ALONG THE ROAD. If you need a third car to use home they will have to park at club house or great festival park.

We can't wait for you to experience the beauty, nature, and peacefulness of Lake Arrowhead.

Please refer to the listing's map and photos which show the home's location in relation to the lake and community. We are on a mountaintop overlooking the lake- it does not have waterfront... it does have a boat slip and water access thru the marina and park.

We welcome you to enjoy our custom log cabin home (sleeps 6) complete with metal roof which is the color of oxidized copper. Although it is a newer home, we have done everything possible to bring the features back to a rustic - turn of the century style. We have 3 bedrooms and a sleeping loft, 3 full baths, hot tub, sauna, game loft, two decks with beautiful views, professionally decorated modern kitchen, newer electronics, linens, bedding, rustic real log furniture, etc.

Our mountain top cabin is nestled in the treetops of one of the highest ridges in beautiful Lake Arrowhead. Once there, you will enjoy the panoramic vista, which includes our pristine, spring fed Lake Arrowhead, Kennesaw Mountain as well as the lights of Atlanta in the evening.

BOAT RENTAL-

20' Bentley $250/day, $1495/week- BRAND NEW for 2025
24' Bentley $275/day, $1595/week

We have Bentley 20' and 24' pontoon boats available for rent for experienced boaters. If you do want to rent our boat there is a minimum 3-day rental during peak season, 2-day minimum rental off peak season. The rate includes a full tank of gas and you must fill the gas tank when finished. Sorry.... no tubing or any other towing. (insurance rules). Please reserve the boat early, we only have 2 boats for our 4 homes. First come, first served.

We do provide kayaks and a canoe for you to take to the lake marina and park area. Enjoy boating, fishing, swimming, sailing or relaxing on the water while you stay in the tree tops of the mountains.

Wifi is offered at our cabin so you can stay connected, if necessary. Once you enter the front door, we are sure you will want to disconnect. Land line phones are available for your use with free domestic long distance. Smart TVs (HUGE 75 inch in the living room and 40 inch in the master) offer both cable, movies, SONOS sound system, music and more.

The great room overlooks the beauty of our community as well as our pristine lake and onto the sights of the North Georgia mountains. There you will find a combination of rich chocolate leather sofas, rustic wood accents and a 75 inch smart, wifi TV, and stereo speakers. A wood burning stove is there for your nostalgic warmth and comfort.

Our state of the art professionally decorated kitchen is designed to bring you back to memories of the turn of the century. The antique camouflaged Elmira stove conceals a secret modern electronic appliance with glass top stove and oven. The kitchen cabinets are replicated to resemble oxidized copper panels, which are accented with black granite counter tops, appliances and stainless steel.

Our sleeping loft (capacity for two) encompasses a game loft. There you will find a shuffle board table, table and chairs and all of your favorite games as well as puzzles for your relaxation and enjoyment. This room overlooks the main level and shares the same panoramic view the main level enjoys.

Please take the opportunity to enjoy our community friends such as ducks, geese, fish, frogs, wild turkeys, bears, boars, lots and lots of deer (please be careful at dusk...they are everywhere), our own Bald Eagle, foxes, numerous species of birds, small land animals, etc. We have many visitors from Florida who rent with us and inquire about gators,..no worries...they do not reside in Lake Arrowhead! We have plenty of community friends.

We have very simple rules at our cabin...

Relax, gather with family, take long walks, please do not keep a schedule (we have no deadlines here), smell the trees, count the stars, skip rocks, watch eagles soar (look for our own Bald Eagle on the lake), hibernate, do not feed the bears (they do live in our community), listen to the brook, gather pine cones, take time to laugh, breathe deep and enjoy the fresh air, rest, relax and renew, make smores....enjoy the great outdoors...it is the perfect time to explore and enjoy...best of all, no dress code here!

We recommend trip cancellation insurance. Protect your vacation. When we reserve your rental we turn dozens of other customers away while holding the property for you. If someone cancels on us it is hard to find another renter on short notice. When my family goes on vacation we purchase trip insurance, it has saved us a few times.

We do empty the water and clean the hot tub after each renter for your hot tubbing enjoyment!

The minimum age to reserve the home is 30.

Stayed for my Dad’s 100th birthday celebration.

Great place. Very comfortable. Wonderful views. Bring a smaller vehicle, as the driveway is tight and steep! We had a 13 passenger van and I aged three years every time we had to drive out.

Really enjoyed our stay. Our family is from the area so the location was ideal for us . House is spacious and filled all of our needs. Any visitor should know that the driveway and parking is quite unique and a bit challenging if you have larger vehicles.

Amazing retreat

We had an unforgettable family retreat at this wonderful home. From the start, the owner was incredibly responsive and ensured everything was perfect for our stay. The house itself is stunning, with a beautiful view that adds to the relaxing atmosphere. We found it well-stocked with appliances and amenities, making everything easy and convenient. The hot tub was a particular highlight—clean, spacious, and so relaxing. We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable escape, and we’d love to return someday!

Summer 2024

We had such a wonderful time. We celebrated a few things on this trip. A Honeymoon, a college graduate, and a high school graduate and the family summer vacation. The house had everything we needed and the boat rental was a huge hit. We caught a ton of fish and had the best laughs. Thank you for such a lovely home to offer our family. Lake arrowhead is a beautiful destination.

Great home but remote from everything

The home was absolutely beautiful but the location is not anywhere near any restaurants, stores, etc. To get out of the private lake took ~15min drive then an additional ~15min min drive to any restaurants/stores. Wish this was communicated openly before booking.

Family Trip

We came to Georgia for our son's baseball tournament at LakePoint. If you're looking for a place to stay with family/kids, Lake Arrowhead is wonderful. When we weren't at the baseball fields we were enjoying the pool and parks. The house was beautiful and comfortable to stay in. We wanted a house with a mountain view and we got exactly that! The views from the deck are amazing and we even got to watch fireworks from the deck. One thing to be aware of if booking this property is the driveway. Its steep and has a sharp curve making it a little hard to maneuver. My midsize SUV did okay but if you have a large truck you might have trouble.

Perfect escape to nature!

The pictures don't do this home justice! The views and wildlife are amazing. We enjoyed watching the sunrise and saw deer right off the deck every time we looked. The hot tub was perfect for the colder evenings we experienced during our stay. We spent some time working remotely and had no issues with the Wifi. The kitchen was very well stocked and in good working order. We look forward to returning!

Exceeding Expectations!

A great vacation home. Throughly enjoy our stay. There was plenty of room and we really enjoyed the decks. Beautifully appointed and relaxing. If getting away from it all is what you're looking for and having some quiet time, this is it. At the same time the location is great for watersports on the lake, golf, shopping within a short distance and fantastic restaurants. Overall this house offers the best of everything. A very gracious host!!!

Family Vacation

Very nice cabin. Lots of room to be together or be on different levels for privacy. Kitchen was well stocked. I didn't see it in the pictures, but there was a keurig as well as the automatic coffee pot. My (adult) boys liked this cabin better than any of the others we have rented. Like the others have said, very steep drive/roads and lots of deer. I also liked that they have a suggestion box in the living room for the owners. It was a bit rainy so we took advantage of the games supplied for guests. Lots of stairs, 3 levels. Not a tourist town. Very Peaceful setting. Sat w/my coffee on the upper deck each morning, listening to the birds and wildlife rustle in the trees/woods.

About the host

Hosted by rob leyden

Host profile image
We are two hard working entreprenuers with two very young children. We bought this property as an investment for our future and to be able to get away from the city life and retreat to a much more relaxing environment. Lake Arrowhead brings us to a place where we leave the stress behind and focus on family and the outdoors.

Why they chose this property

If you love being outdoors, Lake Arrowhead is the place for you (golf, swimming, boating, tennis, hiking, fishing, etc). Imagine a day waking up to a beautiful sunrise overlooking a tranquil lake, with deer visiting in your back yard. Enjoy breakfast outside on the deck with a beautiful view. Rent a boat and take a ride on a pontoon boat for a few hours or the week. Travel an hour away and take in an Atlanta Braves game. Then visit some of the finest restaurants in the United States in Buckhead.....what a perfect day!

What makes this property unique

The view is the best in the entire community. We installed a hot tub. Enjoy a glass of champagne or cocktail while overlooking the lake and the city of Atlanta in the distance. Finish off the day with a steam in the new Sauna.
