Leatherwood Lodge- Breathtaking Views | Hot Tub | Outdoor Fireplace
Set on the very top of Leatherwood Mountain with breathtaking 360 degree views that extend as far as the eye can see, including 5 mountain ranges, Leatherwood Lodge is your private vacation oasis with all the comforts of home located in Cherry Log, Georgia.
Rustic yet contemporary, with cathedral ceilings, huge windows and double decks that are perfectly positioned to give you an unobstructed view of the mountains, it's the kind of place where you can relax, unwind and see the sun set in a glowing red sky as red-tailed hawks soar overhead.
That spectacular view is yours from just about everywhere, from the comfortable leather recliners in the living room, from the hot tub, or a rocking chair on the covered deck, where you can throw a log on the wood-burning outdoor fireplace while you grill your dinner and enjoy it under the stars.
Inside, the cabin is handsomely furnished, with unique pieces from local antique stores—oil-brushed bronze fixtures and lighting, and ceiling fans in all rooms. The kitchen features custom cabinets, granite countertops, a breakfast bar, black appliances including dishwasher, electric stove, fridge, and microwave. The adjacent dining table seats six. There are two gas-burning fireplaces, one in the family room and one in the lower-level game room.
Leatherwood Lodge, which was built in 2015, can accommodate six guests in its three bedrooms. The upstairs principal bedroom offers a king; the main and lower-level floors have queen beds. The three bathrooms have live edge, wood counters, and double vanities; the principal is en suite, with a walk in, tiled shower. The main bath, also an en suite has a tub and shower. And there is a third bath downstairs with tub and shower.
For entertainment, the Wi-Fi equipped cabin has six Smart TVs with DirecTV, including a 50” Smart TV with DVD in the living room, a 42” TV with DVD in the game room, a 40” TV on the deck and a TV in each bedroom. Pool, foosball, a game table with seating for four, and games provide lots of family fun. But you'll also want to explore the many activities that the Blue Ridge area has to offer.
Hiking enthusiasts can find many nearby trails, like the one at Amicalola Falls—Georgia's tallest waterfall and includes the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail--or you can take a scenic ride on the popular Blue Ridge Railway. This cabin is perfectly situated directly in between the towns of Blue Ridge and Ellijay. It's just a five-minute drive to downtown Blue Ridge, with its many shops and restaurants, including Harvest on Main for farm-to-table fare, Grumpy Old Men Brewing for live music and beer and The Vine for wine lovers. If you drive in the opposite direction, you are in the lovely historic town of Ellijay with its many antique shops, and delicious restaurants like River Street tavern (if you go make sure to look up!) or grab some fro-yo at Abby's ice cream.
Leatherwood Lodge's other amenities include a fire pit, and basement laundry. But its most valuable asset is its incredible location, high above everything and worlds away from the stresses of daily life. For an unforgettable vacation, you couldn't ask for more.

We evacuated to this cabin last minute, from a Florida hurricane. It was exactly as described, with amazing views. Kids had a blast with the foosball table and hot tub. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfy. Note that the basement level bedroom does not have a window, however, that worked out great for getting our kids to sleep in later than usual. Only recommendation would be to upgrade the lounge furniture on the deck, but otherwise it was the perfect escape, and we would definitely return!

We are so sorry you had to evacuate to higher ground; however, we're so happy you were able to stay with us at Leatherwood Lodge. It's wonderful you were able to not worry about anything happening at home for the moment. We certainly hope you don't wait for another hurricane to visit us! We hope your home in Florida is okay and hope to see you again in Blue Ridge!
We had a fantastic stay!! The house is great with amazing views. It was well equipped, clean and very pleasant! Only issue was rental company did not provide gate code, and there was no cell signal at the gate, so we had to go back to the main road to call. Also, the driveway was hard to find in the dark (which driveway led to the house). The sign is really small. Overall 10/10!

cabin is very nice with 3 bedrooms but other than King upstairs beds are queen or smaller. tons of firewood for outdoor fire places. Nice hot tub. Fully stocked kitchen. only suggestion is clean windows form amin living area. Need blinds or
something also on those windows as afternoon sun intense. Can't
imagine heat it would
bring in summer. all in all
very pleased.

Thank you for your review! We are glad you enjoyed your stay! I have passed your helpful feedback along to our housekeeping team about those windows! We hope to host you again soon!
The cabin was clean, comfortable and had a wonderful view. We rented the cabin for our 51st anniversary. There were two thing that were a problem for us. First, there is a bedroom in the basement with no window in case of fire. We are residential builders in Alabama and that is a very important fire protection requirement. Second, we were so excited about having a glass of wine every night in the hot tub and watching the sunset. But when we got there the temp was 80 degrees and the jets did not work. The property management company did send someone out the next day. He thought he had repaired it but he did not. The jets never worked and the temp never rose over 89 degrees. We live on a lake and use our hot tub every evening so we are very familiar with how a hot tub works. If a hot tub is not a priority, and you are not planning to sleep in the third bedroom, I would highly recommend this property. However, in so much as it was a high priority to us we were very disappointed.

Thank you for your feedback regarding Leatherwood Lodge. We are saddened to hear that you were disappointed with your stay and have passed your comments along to the property manager. We truly appreciate your feedback and will use it to better improve the experiences of our future guests. We hope to host you again soon.
What a delightful stay! The cabin was clean, comfortably furnished (including the just-right king bed upstairs), quiet, had all of the amenities and gorgeous views, and we were visited throughout each day by hummingbirds.
We have stayed at many cabins over the past 20 years and this was definitely one of the best. We will visit again for a waterfall-hiking trip.
