Cozy Mountaintop Cottage: Excellent Wi-fi, Beautiful Views, & New Stone Fire Pit

Mountaintop Memories Cottage

You are invited to come and stay at our little cozy cottage in the mountains. Make an escape from the chaos and travel the long winding well maintained driveway up the mountain surrounded by private property and US Forest land. Since our driveway is gravel and steep, we recommend that you drive a 4X4 or a vehicle with good traction. No low to the ground vehicles or motorcycles!! You will see that it was worth the drive upon arrival at your secluded and peaceful retreat where wonderful memories are waiting to be made!!

Walk up on the porch that wraps around three sides of the cottage. Grab a cup of coffee, sit on the porch awhile, and enjoy the views of Rabun Bald and Alex Mountain. Chances are you will hear the gobble of a turkey, the hoot of an owl, or the sweet call of a dove. Enter Mountaintop Memories Cottage with a keyless entry. This cottage offers 2 BR, 1 BA, a full kitchen, dining and living area, and laundry room with washer and dryer. The living area is open to the dining and kitchen with plenty of seating for lounging, eating, or playing a game. We have a good variety of books, games, and puzzles to enjoy!! Watch a movie or your favorite show on the 50" Roku TV that is visible from the entire living area. A bonus for our mountain location is that we offer Starlink Wi-fi to keep you connected with your devices. The kitchen is stocked with all appliances as well as a k-cup Keurig coffee pot, tea kettle, waffle maker, air fryer, cookware, serving dishes, cooking and eating utensils, and items for the outdoor gas grill located on the side of the cottage under the covered porch. We have included a beverage bar with a variety of coffee k-cups, flavor syrups and creamers, various teas, honey/sweeteners, and cold beverages in the refrigerator. Also provided are olive oil, salt, pepper, and various spices that you might forget to bring. Dish washer tablets, dish soap, hand soap, all-purpose cleaner, aluminum foil, clear wrap, and ziplock bags are provided for your convenience. Down the hallway, the main bedroom is located with a queen bed and a Roku TV. Located directly across the hall from the main bedroom is the second bedroom that includes a twin bed. Unfortunately, the cottage only comfortably sleeps 3 people. If you are traveling with additional children, there is room for a queen air mattress in the living room. Contact me if you have questions or need additional linens, I will be more than happy to accommodate you. Bed linens, extra blankets, and towels are provided along with complimentary soap, shampoo, paper products, and laundry supplies are all included with your stay.

Enjoy the cool evenings at the brand new stone fire pit area sitting in vintage outdoor furniture. You will get to enjoy the crisp mountain air, the smell of the fire, the sound of the katydids, and the feeling of peace and pure relaxation!!! Firewood will be provided for you under the covered shed in the dry. All you need is your S'more ingredients!! Located next to the fire pit area is a horseshoe pit ready for some friendly competition!!

Beautiful secluded get away!

This well-equipped, super clean property is a beautiful escape nestled in the mountains. Be aware that the access road and driveway to the property are gravel and quite a steep grade. The hosts were very responsive and friendly. We attended a wedding at the Vineyard at High Holly and this property was super convenient for that destination.

Great cozy cabin

The cabin is so great! Extremely clean and just the right size! Cozy and decorated immaculately! The heater fire place in the living area was perfect for those low light evenings. Highly recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle to get to it. But it’s VERY worth it for the views and privacy.

If you like beautiful mountain views, you will love this cottage. It is up a steep gravel one lane road. My large, two wheel drive SUV did okay with that but putting it in low gear helped a little more. You must go very slowly and watch for ruts and holes in the road. Thankfully, I never met another vehicle coming in the opposite direction as there are deep ruts on each side of the road. But the Fall colors were on full display and we did not want to leave. Beautifull cottage inside. Turning on the shower was a "challenge" as I had never seen a tub faucet turning on the shower that way. Visited mountain towns nearby and enjoyed every minute.

This property is the absolute cutest. It was well stocked and nicely decanted. Super clean and neat. Spectacular views, super comforterable, great WI-FI as mentioned in discription and such a quaint charm. We will be back for sure. The host was super responsive and went above and beyond for us as we had a tire issue on morning one of our stay. Consider this charming home if in the Scaly Mtn area.

Perfect Mountain Getaway

My wife and I were in much need of a getaway to the mountains for a few days and this cottage was an excellent choice for us. It was secluded with a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains and yet convenient to the various places that we wanted to visit. It was extremely clean and well equipped with everything that we needed to make our stay both enjoyable and comfortable. The owners were very accommodating in working with us when we had a problem booking our first night through VRBO. We give it an excellent rating and would book again in the future.

Beautiful getaway

We visited to celebrate my husband's birthday. Best part was the view of the stars!! It's on a mountaintop but has just enough tree clearance for a stunning view of the night sky. The trip was such a blessing & we're so grateful to have been able to stay here :) Note that since it is at the top of a mountain, consider driving a SUV or larger vehicle as it's a gravel road to get up!

A very nice secluded cottage that's not too far away from anything. WiFi was very fast and reliable when I had to interrupt my getaway to get a little work done while enjoying the view from the porch. Everything was clean and comfortable, I can't think of anything that would make this place more ideal.

Wonderful weekend

This mountain top cabin was perfect!! The house went above our expectations! Everything in the cabin was beautiful, neat, and clean. The amenities were above and beyond and made it such a great experience. We enjoyed grilling on the deck and eating a delicious meal surrounded by spectacular views. The porch was the best place to drink a cup of coffee and relax surrounded by God’s creation. The hosts were very prompt with communication. The drive up is very steep and you will need an 4-wheel drive with good tires, but it is well worth the drive! You will not be disappointed!
