About this property

"View on a Whim” Luxury Cabin with Breathtaking Views, Theatre, Hot Tubs, Hiking


This Private Luxury Cabin Retreat sits nestled on its very own unique ridge along the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. You can hear the nearby streams and waterfalls (hiking trails through three streams begin on the property). From the deck the nearest neighbors are hundreds of yards away for a truly secluded escape.

The ultimate mountain getaway with all the amenities to relax: outdoor hot tub, wood burning fireplaces, luxury master bath, outdoor fire pit table, outdoor green egg smoker, Blackstone Griddle, home movie theater, pool table, shuffleboard, arcade, and more.

Amazing views with a huge wrap around porch with over 2500 sqft. of total deck space.

Entertainment
Uniquely fun “SnapBack” shuffle board table (includes bowling pins)

77” LG OLED tv with 7.1 Dolby atmos surround sound. push button recline leather theater seating. Arguably better than the movies.

Retro/modern 20,000 game arcade with 4 player positions. Endless fun for the youth and non stop nostalgia for the young at heart.

Bent Tree’s Lake Tamarack. 110-Acre Lake Tamarack is a beautiful, scenic feature of the Bent Tree Community. Paddleboard or canoe the lake, fish from the house, swim from the large beach and let the kids monkey about the playground and volleyball courts.

Bent Tree Golf Course & Pro Shop (0.4 miles)
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the golf course at Bent Tree is one of North Georgia’s most beautiful 18-hole championship courses. The Joe Lee designed course meanders through the base of several mountains, past waterfalls, mountain streams, and brooks, boldly confronting the broad shoulder of Sharp Top Mountain. Golfing is an added expense to the visit if you so desire and reservations are recommended. https://golf.bent-tree.com/

Hiking Trails
Trail located ON site (top of the driveway) to see streams, nature & beautiful water features.
Venture out to Fall creek falls off Tobacco Pouch trail on Burnt Mountain Rd (a few miles away).

25th birthday weekend

I booked this place for a small group of friends and I to celebrate my 25th birthday and it was perfect! The hot tub was a big hit and the kitchen was a great space for larger-volume cooking. The beds are super comfy as well! I definitely recommend this place for any group because there is something there for everyone!

This was such a great stay. Any issues were dealt with promptly by Matt personally. It was such a relief to have a great owner. The driveway was definitely steep so make sure you’re comfortable with that. The house itself was very comfortable for our group of 15. We didn’t feel like we were on top of one another. The kids loved the basement room, theater and game room.It was great having hiking trails right outside the door and not needing to drive somewhere else. We would definitely stay here again. The view is incredible and totally worth the driveway!

Great Stay

Our stay in the mountains was perfect. We travel around each Spring to a different area of Blue Ridge Mountains to hike and relax. The Bent Tree community offers golf, tennis, and great hiking. There is a good trail right off the property. We visited the Main Street in Jasper for great local food. The view from the deck is great for sunsets and star viewing. We highly recommend this cabin.

The host, Matt, was without question the most attentive and thoughtful host we've ever had. He went out of his way to supply us with needed items. He got back to us very quickly to answer our questions even tho he was on a cruise with his wife. Matt made us feel so welcomed! The cabin itself is lovely but be ready for a dramatic drive to your destination... which in turn gives you an awesome view with plenty of nature to enjoy. The trail heads at the end of the driveway were such a plus. Even tho you feel tucked up high on a mountain ridge, club house dining is only 10 minutes away. Our whole group enjoyed the amenities in Bent Tree resort even in the fall.

Fabluous Stay

What a beautiful setting and a great house for our family time. There was plenty of space for our family of 8 adults and 6 children. Everyone enjoyed the deck with the amazing view, the hot tub and the game room downstairs. The kitchen is also very well stocked. We loved doing the hike just off of the driveway to visit the scenic waterfall. Matt was super to work with and gave great communication before we arrived and made himself available should any questions come up during our stay. We would definitely reserve again!

We had a great time. The house was perfect for our family of 15. The surrounding was wonderful. We saw deer, beavers, and bears. On the property terrain was a lot to do. There was a lake with a beach, and fishing. The hiking trails were wonderful. City of Jasper was also very nice with enough to do and see.

Mountain wedding celebration

Stayed at this beautiful cabin for my niece’s wedding at a nearby venue. I can’t say enough on just how wonderful the experience was for us! The cabin is so spacious and comfortable and the views from the back porch are amazing. The owners are wonderful and the rental process was so easy. Jason ( one of the owners) is great with communication and extremely helpful if you need anything or have questions throughout your stay. I will definitely love to stay again during the spring or summer!!

Matt was an exceedingly communicative host - the kind you wish every rental had. We had a couple minor issues that were addressed immediately, and he made sure to encourage us to reach out if we needed anything else. The cabin was lovely, with tons of space for our large group. The kids barely wanted to leave the basement with all of its fun amenities and awesome bunk beds. You could tell this was a property owned and used by a family, not a large company taking all of the shortcuts for profit. The beds were very comfortable. The views were better than the pictures, and the back deck was huge with plenty of seating for everyone. The hot tub was clean and well maintained. The kitchen was extremely well-equipped - we held a Friendsgiving/birthday celebration and weren’t missing any cooking tools. This place was really great for a large group, and we appreciated the host’s hospitality.

Wonderful mountain gem

This was a quite lovely and well appointed home with a beautiful view. We chose it because it was a mountain experience but further south so we could also get to Atlanta for activities. We truly felt like this was a haven away for us and would consider coming back a second time. The host is kind and attentive and the home had a high end yet family feel. Excellent wifi compared to many rentals we have experienced. The gated community made us feel very safe. Thanks!

Fabulous friends weekend

A group of 5 couples and 4 small children had a perfect mountain weekend at this home! The kitchen was very well equipped for staying in and cooking, we especially enjoyed the big green egg. The hot tub(s) was also a huge plus! Tons of room for everyone to have their own space, but still spend time together. We’ll be back next year! Our only hiccup was a bit of trouble getting the code to the door at check-in, but I think that was an anomaly and it was quickly resolved.

Amazing Cabin and Spectacular View

Our family getaway was wonderful and the Cabin was beyond what we expected So cozy but with large spaces and plenty of room for the whole family. The kitchen was huge and perfect for all our gatherings. The outdoor deck was very nice with spectacular views of the mountains The master bedroom is so beautiful but I wish it would have had some window coverings. Hiking on the property was great and visited the local winery. All in all it was a week of making beautiful memories with our family Thankyou Matt for your service and quick response to our needs. Would definitely love to come back HAPPY NEW YEAR.
