Great cabin and location

The location and cabin were great. Loved the yard for our pup. Enjoyed the view and canoeing on the lake. Great location between Elijay and Blue Ridge. The only downside was the driveway is very steep and the pool table is in bad shape. If you are a pool player the table will be disappointing but we still had fun with it.

Morning Breeze Cabin rental

It was everything we expected. It was spotless, well appointed and a beautiful view. Lake and dock were easy to get to, nice fire pit. The steep gravel driveway was a bit of a challenge.

Relaxing Getaway

We had a wonderful time at the Mountainview Lake Retreat. We came with 3 teenagers who spent most the time outside kayaking/canoeing, fishing, grilling and using the hot tub. It was perfect! The highlight of the trip for our 18 year old was catching so many fish off the dock and using the canoe. Our dogs definitely enjoyed being part of the weekend. The only difficult part of the trip was getting up the steep gravel driveway to exit. Would definitely come again!
