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!!

This was the perfect cozy home for my husband and I with our one year old baby. The host truly thought of everything and I felt like I could relax and truly enjoy the space. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and the extra blankets everywhere was a nice cozy touch. I would recommend this home to any couple or small family for a sweet stay with a great view.

The home was clean and nicely decorated. The beds were comfortable. The place was also very quiet and relaxing. Crystal had a few bottled waters in the fridge for our arrival, and even waffle mix, syrup and coffee, which we took advantage of in the morning. We felt right at home. I wish we would have had more time to stay.

We had a wonderful getaway! The mountain views, secluded cabin and cozy outdoor space were perfect. The cabin was spotless and our hosts were incredible communicators, making sure we had everything we needed. The bed and pillows were SO comfortable which always feels like a gamble when traveling so we were very pleased! We loved this location as it was close to several different town centers and we could do much exploring, shopping and hiking.

This was a fantastic place to stay! Beautiful cottage, very homey and comfortable. One bedroom with a queen bed and a second bedroom with a twin size, full laundry, fire pit, wrap around porch. Just great mountain views and a very clean place. The driveway is quite steep; don't attempt with a low vehicle. Crystal, the owner was extremely friendly and helpful! Highly recommended -- we will definitely be back.

The cottage was immaculately clean and cozy. The hosts thought of every little detail. The view is beautiful, a rare find for a smaller cabin. We rented a truck with 4-wheel drive to get up there and I’m glad we did. The driveway is steep and made of gravel. But it’s worth it! The area around the cottage is flat, so parking is easy as is access to the fire pit. We have rented a few little cabins in the area and this was our favorite!

Misty Mountains, just beautiful! Best hosts I have ever come across. You feel really welcome by all the personal touches throughout. Checked all my boxes, such as good shower pressure, comfy bed, linens and great pillows. Well stocked kitchen. Centrally located with tons to do. After a rain, we saw 7 turkeys come out to dry their feathers. We didn't find the road too bad but can see why an AWD is recommended and no low riders. We will return )

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.

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.
