The Arcade at the Rise Retreat

Summary:

Gaming-themed cabin in Blairsville with arcade consoles & foosball



The Space:

Gaming enthusiasts will feel right at home at this two-story cabin in the woods of Blairsville, whimsically decorated in an arcade theme throughout. This is a place to spend your days hiking and fishing, and your evenings playing Pac-Man, Terminator, and Ridge Racer via the provided arcade consoles.



This hillside home sits 11 miles south of downtown Blairsville, giving you easy access to the conveniences of town in a serene, rural setting. In this beautiful pocket of North Georgia, you'll be within a five-mile drive of Vogel State Park, the Appalachian Trail, Sosebee Cove Scenic Area, and DeSoto Falls Recreation Area.



The house was designed for hours of at-home entertainment, beginning with the combined primary bedroom/rec room upstairs. In addition to Terminator and Ridge Racer, you'll find three TVs set up for gaming and a foosball table for breaks in between. Downstairs, even the bathroom is outfitted in a charming gaming theme.



Begin each morning with coffee outside on the wraparound deck and breakfast prepared using stainless steel appliances in the open kitchen. In the evenings, play board games at the breakfast bar, watch movies on the living room TV, and snuggle up in the warmth of the gas fireplace. Central AC and complimentary WiFi are provided as well.



During your visit, enjoy access to a wide variety of shared amenities including a large covered and furnished deck with an outdoor gas fireplace, two firepits, and a fun-filled, lower-level game room with classic arcade games, vending machines, a TV, full-size pool table, virtual reality area, ice machine, and poker table.

Great place

It was clean and the place was awesome will all the games my son loved it. The upstairs room does get hot maybe if there was a way to get air up there that would be cool but other than that we loved it.

Good getaway and fun games

There were a few things that didn’t work like the volume on the downstairs tv remote and the game gun 2 on the terminator game, but otherwise it was great with lots of fun games and a very comfortable bed.

Great getaway

There was some false advertisement, such as a common/rec room that was supposed to be available for use plus the view that we thought was from our cabin was actually from the lodge which was being renovated so it cannot be used. Other than that we enjoyed our stay

THE Mountain Experience

The home itself was super fun filled with bright colors and tons of arcade games for all ages to enjoy! A lovely, easy to operate gas fire warmed up the home quickly during our cold weather stay, all while having a fully functional heating/air unit if the fire ever became a tad much. Not to mention, it was nestled in a quiet mountain community having almost immediate access to Vogal State Park and a very short drive from a beautiful waterfall! We are more than happy to have chosen the Arcade Cabin for our family Thanksgiving trip!

Video Game Galore

Three kids under 7 without games back home found this cabin a blast. Hiking during the day and gaming at night provided an adventurous yet fun time with fun things to do back at the cabin. This has proven to be one of our best vacations thus far. Only thing that could make this better would have been a washer/dryer on site. Aside from that, this cabin was immaculate upon arrival and the on site team was extremely responsive with any questions/concerns we had.

Clean, Comfortable & Awesome Location!

What a cute, fun themed cabin! Everything down to the pillows was decorated game themed. Cabin was spotless, nice stainless steel appliances, cute little coffee station with keurig & coffee provided. The bedding was the most comfortable bedding we have ever slept on - even the kids raved about it! I would love to know where the linens and pillows are from so I can purchase for my own home!!! Kids had a blast playing upstairs and especially loved the 3 tvs. You can tell a lot of time and energy went into designing and decorating. Perfect location right next to Helton Creek Falls and Vogel State Park. Beautiful views, waterfalls, hiking. Love the beautiful story of why these cabins were created - a place for families to retreat, connect and enjoy God's beautiful creation. That's exactly what we did. Thank you for sharing your cabin with our family!
