The house includes a smart TV and high speed Fiber internet for those who just want to relax indoors as well as some board games and books. The main floor has a spacious living area, dining area, and 1 King bed/1 bath. The lower floor is finished with 2 bedrooms /1 bath and a bonus room. One bedroom has a King bed and the second one has Queen beds also a bonus room with a twin bed . All bathrooms are stocked with paper towels, towels, soaps, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. There are plenty of restaurants close by. Otherwise you can cook in the fully stocked kitchen or outdoor grill aside the outdoor fire pit(wood not provided). The kitchen is well sized with 2 bar stools and gas stove. There is also a good sized laundry room with washer and dryer on the lower floor.
The back porches are our favorite part! They are wide and expansive with plenty of seating and beautiful views. The road to the cabin is accessible by all types of vehicles, however the carport is not large enough for oversized trucks.

Lovely cabin with spectacular view!

This cabin was lovely with a spectacular view! Double deck had great chairs/swing. Cabin decor was new and well appointed. Bedrooms were large and comfortable. Owner was very communicative and friendly. Overall this is the best mountain cabin that we have rented on VRBO. We would definitely stay here again.

Million Dollar View

Very pleased with this accommodation. The view from the back porch is spectacular. The kitchen is well equipped to handle any of your cooking and serving needs. Google Maps was better than Waze for getting you up to the cabin. The paved road to the cabin is steep and narrow so if it is wet out you need good tires. We will be back next fall. John & Alexis

Nicely equipped cabin (especially kitchen) with a spectacular view.

Very relaxing place to kick back and do nothing. One of the only things we had a problem with was the TV, which was very hard to figure out. Printed instructions for the TV would have been most helpful.

Mt Stay

This beautiful cabin sits high upon Ivy Mt Road. The kitchen is stocked with everything you would need plus more. We found the inside of the cabin very clean. The bedrooms on different levels make it easy to share with family or friends. Max and Sophie were very easy to work with. When some issues arose they were prompt to help us.

Wonderful View

The cabin was very comfortable, well stocked with all things needed and little extras, very clean and Sophie was great. The view was magnificent both day and night. Only one very minor suggestion is to use light bulbs with a dimmer switch for the living room. We would not hesitate to recommend Pura Vida to all our friends.

Great getaway on the ridge

We had a wonderful stay at this great cabin on the ridge in Hiawassee with an exceptional view of Lake Chatuge. The deck has a nice table and chairs for dining out, a swing, and 2 raised Adirondack chairs for easy viewing. It was very clean, inside and out, has a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and good Wi-Fi and tv service, The road up to the house is very narrow but we didn't have any problems. We were also appreciative that it was pet friendly for our little pup. I would definitely recommend this house and would stay here again!

We had a Wonderful stay

We stayed at Pura Vida Cabin over the weekend with another couple and we had a wonderful time. It was very quiet and peaceful. House had everything we needed. Comfortable beds. We really enjoyed sitting on the upper level deck at night and having conversation. Wonderful views. Side note: not alot of space for parking and the road to get to the cabin is steep and narrow. We drive an f250 truck and it was tough with parking Beautiful place. We had fun. 10-10 recommend.

Great place for a weekend getaway

We came into town for a concert and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It was clean and exactly as described. The host was responsive when we reached out. We did not have anyone with mobility issues on this trip however if we did the main floor of the cabin is perfectly suited for someone with mobility needs the shower had handrails and the entrance way was flat so if you are taking someone who needs accommodations and can't do stairs very well the first floor again will accommodate perfectly. I also loved all the little extras that they had in case we forgot anything from home again it was a great stay I would come back.
