Ready for the perfect mountain getaway? Imagine waking up at over 2,000 ft. elevation in a modern yet rustic log cabin, to spectacular and endless mountain panoramas that will leave you feeling blissful and inspired. Whether you visit as a couple, as a family, or a friend’s trip, our elegant, mountaintop Chalet is the perfect retreat for up to 6 guests.
Inside, you’ll be greeted by decorator touches like crystal chandeliers, a chic wine area, a wood-burning fireplace, an open kitchen, and panoramic windows that frame the breathtaking views. The fully stocked kitchen has everything you need for home-cooked meals, to build the perfect charcuterie board, or to grill out while enjoying our stunning mountain backdrop.
When it’s time to sleep, sink into the plush bedding of the king bed in the boho-chic main bedroom, and the two queen beds in the oversized second-level bedroom, perfect for kids or a second couple. Want to curl up with a good book or need to work from home? The second-level loft boasts a comfy reading nook and a handmade Amish executive desk, overlooking a view that will inspire you to produce some of your best work.
Step outside to enjoy the 1,200 sf. of outdoor decks and soak in the awe-inspiring vistas of the Rich Mountain Wilderness…our sunrises and sunsets will leave you breathless! Listen to the sounds of nature and to the outdoor waterfall while keeping an eye out for deer and all kinds of birds. Love to hike? The Benton MacKaye Trail runs through our mountain and is easily accessible right from our front door!
At night, stargaze from one of your favorite decks, relax and soak in our Jacuzzi hot tub with a glass of local wine, or build a fire and make smores in our cast-iron fire pit (seasoned fire logs complimentary!). And as a special treat, during the months of April through September, you can enjoy the fabulous experience of an outdoor shower against the backdrop and privacy of the mountains! Trust us, there’s nothing like it!
And when you’re ready to explore the local flavor, we’re only a 15 minute ride to downtown Blue Ridge, and 20 to Ellijay where hiking, waterfalls, restaurants, shopping areas, wineries, apple orchards, and more, are waiting to be discovered.
The best views in Blue Ridge and so much more await you at Top of the Ridge Chalet! Book your stay today!
