"This is one of the only places I've found that I can truly relax and recharge from the stresses of life.” - Brandon

Nestled atop Allen Lake and situated in Cherry Log (population 120!) between the charming towns of Blue Ridge and Ellinjay in the North Georgia mountains, it’s almost impossible not to relax into the tranquil atmosphere of our Lakeside ‘Treehouse’.

"…it’s a bit of luxury tucked away deep in the woods on a quiet lake, and just down the road from a beautiful waterfall." - Rebecca

LIVING SPACES:

"This is one of the most beautiful cabins that I have ever laid eyes on!"- Maxim

Open the door to this quaint cabin and you realize every inch has been carefully and professionally decorated - from the stunningly gorgeous vaulted ceiling and richly polished tree-trunk coffee table, to the brand new designer kitchen and the luxe bedroom suites, each space is more beautiful than the next! The open floorplan starts with a decadently cozy living area and romantic fireplace hearth – complimentary firewood and flat screen smart TV provided! You can also enjoy the fire from the formal dining area, which seats 6, or from the kitchen island counter, which seats 3 and is the perfect perch at the heart of this home!

"Stunning kitchen and cozy bedrooms. We made such priceless memories with our family here and will be coming back for sure!" - Danay

KITCHEN & DINING:

- Suite of stainless steel appliances

- Fully stocked pantry- Keurig Coffee Station

- Separate spacious Laundry Room

In the kitchen, the immaculate stainless steel appliances and the woodland view make every meal prep a pleasure. You will want to grab your first mug of morning coffee and head out onto the deck though – to watch the mist rise off Lake Allen to reveal the memorable tree-filled vista!

"I loved waking up every morning to drink my coffee and enjoy the beautiful lake view." - D.M.

BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS:

-Bedroom 1: 1st Floor King with ensuite bathroom

- Bedroom 2 (2nd floor): King with ensuite bathroom

The first spacious bedroom has a king bed with its own full bathroom, and the 2nd main bedroom suite boasts a cozy king bed and flatscreen TV. Attached to that is the main bathroom with his and hers sinks and a frame-less walk-in shower.

OUTDOORS:

The truth? You’ll be spending as much time as you can on the huge wrap-around deck, enjoying every moment of the lake! Enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an afternoon game of chess - in any kind of weather, or escape to the soothing hot tub and revel in the view.

"…the gorgeous view of the lake from the hot tub can’t be beat." - Jessica

Later on you can head out to the picturesque firepit and stargaze while your dinner sizzles on the 5-burner grill (propane included). Perfection!

**Caution, steep terrain and paths to the lake, outside main deck is 60' above, not suitable for small children.

Around Town:

Although you won’t want to leave your “little slice of heaven”, there's no shortage of activities in this wonderful area. Ellijay and Blue Ridge are both incredible small towns with antique shops, taverns, breweries, farm-to-table restaurants, and more. There’s truly something for everyone in these beautiful mountain communities. Tour the award-winning vineyards (Engelheim, Ellijay River, Cartecay, Serenberry) or all the surrounding breweries and orchards like Mercier Apple Orchard. Visit Fall Branch Falls or bask on the water with plenty of tubing, fishing or boating. Maybe cross that water over the famous Toccoa Swinging Bridge! Conquer the mountains on breathtaking hiking and mountain biking trails. And seasonally, enjoy the Blue Ridge Railway, local festivals and other activities. Feel free to drop us a message when you’ve got your dates booked and we can let you know what’s happening during your stay. And just a note, you can’t take a trip to Cherry Log without dropping by The Pink Pig - our favorite spot for BBQ – or the Bigfoot Experience – both just down the road!

Guest access

Guests have access to the entire home and outdoor area. There is parking for 2-3 vehicles at the bottom of the drive by the cabin. The driveway is partially paved and partially graveled. It is a bit steep on your way up as you are leaving the cabin. A bit of momentum is helpful starting at the bottom of the drive as you ascend. AWD or 4WD vehicles will have an easier time but are not required.

Other things to note

The walk down to the lake is steep, but worth it! Waiting for you is a restful bench, or an adorable rowboat. And the fishing is great!
