BREATHTAKING VIEWS MTNTOP LOG CABIN HOT TUB WIFI STOCKD LAKES HIKING DOGS OK

We spent a week at this cabin in the mountains of north Georgia. The cabin was quite comfortable for the four of us. All the appliances worked well, the television was appropriate (although we didn’t watch much except an occasional news program about the approaching stormy weather), and the router gave us access to the Internet for email and other searches. The porch gave us a beautiful view to the west, so that the early morning sunrise painted the opposing hills a bright yellow and the sunsets presented pink and blue clouds just above the hill tops. The road to the cabin (Maggie Chapman Drive) had thick asphalt pavement, as did the driveway up to the cabin. Because our car (Sienna) is long, I had to back down the drive onto Chapman--and that was a slow, careful process. We hiked a few miles on the MacKaye Trail which runs just beside the cabin. We enjoyed watching the grey squirrels, the pileated woodpeckers, and the deer as they played and grazed on the lot. From the cabin, we had easy access to Blue Ridge with its interesting shops and Rexall drugstore and to Ellijay with its Walmart and other chain businesses. We drove to Gibbs Gardens, which is a lovely place to visit and to the Georgia Aquarium, which was a special delight. These sites were only short drives away--about an hour to Atlanta. We enjoyed our time at Cherry Log Mountain Retreat and recommend it for those who want quiet retreat time and access to more urban activities as well. On our last day we visited Mercier Orchard and found its fried pies superb--we heartily recommend an early visit to that business.

The cabin was beautiful! It began to snow so the beautiful and cozy fireplace was perfect for the weather. We enjoyed the hot tub, and there's a perfect background for a romantic soak! I would definitely stay here again!

In planning for a romantic getaway, my husband and I started searching in September for a cabin in North Georgia. We could not find anything available that fit our timetable, price range, location where we wanted to be or what we had in mind as far as amenities, etc. Just before Christmas, my husband found this cabin and presented the details in a "wrapped up scroll" as part of my Christmas present. Within a few days after Christmas, we had this one booked. The trip and the cabin were all we hoped it would be - beautiful scenery, clean and well equipped, well maintained and made for an awesome romantic getaway. We enjoyed visiting Ellijay and walking in and out of the shops in Blue Ridge. It was close enough to the Amicalola Falls for a ride to and hike up for that beautiful view. We also took a trip (and a pretty intense hike) to Brasstown Bald and also visited the quaint Bavarian town of Helen. We accomplished and saw a lot in 2 full days. So thankful we found this cabin and can't wait to come back. Thanks for the memories!
