High Expectations- Dog Friendly | Hot Tub | Stunning Views | Sleeps 10
Reasons to Book: Beautiful Mountain Views Rustic Cabin Theme Relaxing Hot Tub with Views Game Room with Pool Table and Foosball Dog Friendly and Fido Approved
If you have high hopes for your precious time away, High Expectations is the North Georgia Mountains cabin rental for you. This is where wishes come true and joyful memories are made, a place where your spirits will soar and a sense of freedom and fun is in the air.
Located just a short 20 minute drive to the wonderful shops, restaurants and wine bars of downtown Blue Ridge and a half hour to Murphy, NC, where you can try your luck at the Harrah's Casino, the cabin is perched on a mountain ridge, providing you with breathtaking vistas as far as your eye can see. Whether you're on the main level, in the bedrooms, out on the wraparound decks, or soaking in the hot tub that accommodates six, you'll take in up close and long range views of the mountains, each one worthy of a picture postcard.
Open and sunny with sky high ceilings and warm pine walls, High Expectations draws you in with its professionally decorated setting and wildlife motif, with fishing, bears, moose, and game themes greeting you in different areas throughout the cabin – right down to the family room's fish-themed rug!
Outdoor enthusiasts have come to the right place. There is always something new to do and see here. Go for a refreshing hike on a local trail, or traverse the hills on horseback. Grab your golf clubs and hit the links, or head down to the river for a day of fishing, swimming and tubing. Back home you can spend a lazy day on the deck's rocking chairs and porch swing, gazing out at the wide expanse of mountains and blue sky before you. Here in these beautiful surroundings, you'll feel far from the busyness of city living, hidden away in your own peaceful paradise.
If indoor activities are more your speed, you'll be right at home here too. Have fun all afternoon playing pool or foosball. Pair up in teams to play board games or cards, or go one on one with checkers and chess. Enjoy a ball game or movie on the large Smart TV. Or simply curl up with a good book in the cozy loft and lose yourself for hours in another world.
Later in the day, grill some fresh fish and have an early dinner out on the picnic table in the fresh air. Then spend a relaxing evening settled into an Adirondack chair with a cool drink and watch the stars appear in the twilight sky.
Ride off into the sunset in the Western-themed master suite upstairs with its custom log bed and private walkout porch. There's also a queen bedroom on the main floor that opens out to the deck, and a queen bedroom in the basement that opens to another deck and the hot tub. Each cozy, themed bedroom is situated on its own floor for added privacy, all with their own bathrooms.
High Expectations is a place for friends and family to escape, put aside their busy lives, and spend time enjoying each other's company; a place where relationships are built and strengthened among the natural beauty of the mountains. Bring the ones you love here for a vacation that will truly exceed your High Expectations.

Thank you for staying with us at High Expectations! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your kind review! We look forward to hosting you again soon!
This was our second stay at this cabin and we've already booked a weekend next year! It is a perfect getaway from the summer heat and chaos of urban life. The views are beautiful, the hot tub is a highlight, and everything is so clean and organized. It's small enough where family can spend quality time together but big enough for any one of us to get some privacy for a nap or quiet time.

The neighborhood and property were very nice. It was close to Blue Ridge and other area attractions. The cabin was well stocked and comfortable. Pool table and hot tub were great to have, especially when it rains and you cannot get outside.

The photos made me think cabin was sitting right on creek but it was high above creek with nice stairway to creek. Beautiful scenery off deck. Quiet neighborhood very close to town but seemed far away from every thing!

Thank you so much for staying with us at High Expectations! We are glad to hear that the space was great for your anniversary celebration. We appreciate your feedback and we will pass this on to the property managers for review. We hope to host you again soon!
We arrived at 4:30 and the place was still being cleaned. The lady cleaning was helpful but the house could use a good cleaning. The TVs were not working properly and the office sent someone to help the next day because it was after hours. The office staff was fantastic and took care of every problem. A big thank you to the staff. The beds were creepy but slept good and the house could use updating.
