About this property

Viewtopia | 180° Mountain Views, Hot Tub, Dog-Friendly & 9 Miles to Blue Ridge

  • Viewtopia is a spectacular mountain-view cabin with sweeping 180-degree views, direct trail access, a private hot tub, dog-friendly amenities, and a convenient location near three favorite North Georgia towns: Blue Ridge, Ellijay, and McCaysville/Copperhill.

    Set beside 100,000 acres of National Forest, Viewtopia offers the kind of view guests remember long after the trip is over — unspoiled short-range mountains, layered long-range ridgelines, sunrise skies, and changing light throughout the day. With four bedrooms, three full baths, multiple outdoor spaces, a hot tub deck, foosball, family games, and room to spread out across three levels, this cabin is ideal for families, couples, friends, and guests traveling with dogs.

    What You’ll Love

    180-degree short-range and long-range mountain views
    Direct trail access and National Forest surroundings
    Private hot tub with mountain views
    Dog-friendly
    Four bedrooms with views
    Three updated bathrooms
    Private balcony off the primary suite
    Foosball and family games
    Gas-log fireplace, available October through April
    Outdoor dining, rocking chairs, yard, garden, and decks on three levels
    Close to Blue Ridge, Ellijay, and McCaysville/Copperhill

    The Main Level

    Step into Viewtopia and you are immediately welcomed by a large great room with a wall of windows, comfortable leather furnishings, HDTV, Chromecast for streaming, and big mountain views. The open layout makes this level ideal for gathering, dining, relaxing, and enjoying time together.

    The great room includes a gas-log fireplace, available seasonally from October through April, and opens to a large porch with rocking chairs and a picnic table for outdoor dining. The kitchen shares this open space and is well equipped with granite countertops, stainless appliances, and everything needed for easy meals at the cabin.

    From the main level, you also have access to the covered back porch and decks, where the views expand into both close-range mountains and layered long-range ridgelines. Morning coffee here may become one of your favorite parts of the stay.
    The main level also includes a king bedroom with mountain views, a full bath with tub/shower combo and double vanities, and a washer/dryer set for guest use.

    The Upper Level

    Upstairs, a dramatic staircase leads to the private primary suite, one of the most memorable spaces in the cabin. This king bedroom offers big views in two directions — through the great room’s wall of windows and from the suite’s own private covered balcony.
    This is a beautiful place to watch the sunrise, moonrise, or changing weather move across the mountains. The private bath includes a tub, separate shower, and double vanities, giving the upper level a true retreat feel.

    The Terrace Level

    The terrace level adds more room to relax, play, and spread out. Here you’ll find two additional bedrooms, one with a queen bed and one with a full bed, along with a third full bathroom featuring a tile shower.
    This level also includes a comfortable second living area with a smart 4K TV, foosball, and family games, making it a great hangout space for kids, teens, or guests who want a separate place to unwind.

    Outdoor Living

    Viewtopia was designed to make the most of its mountain setting. The cabin offers multiple outdoor spaces, including decks on three levels, a hot tub deck, yard, garden area, covered porches, rocking chairs, and outdoor dining space.
    Start the day with sunrise views, spend the afternoon exploring nearby trails, then come home to soak in the hot tub or relax on the deck as the mountains shift through evening light. With National Forest land nearby and direct trail access, Viewtopia is a great choice for guests who want both comfort and outdoor adventure.

    Location

    Viewtopia offers a private mountain setting while still keeping you close to the area’s best towns, restaurants, shopping, and outdoor activities.

    You’ll be approximately:
    9 miles to Blue Ridge
    9 miles to McCaysville/Copperhill
    13 miles to Ellijay

    The cabin is located in the Cashes Valley area, close to horseback riding, zipline tours, tubing, rafting, hiking, scenic drives, wineries, orchards, and mountain-town dining. Viewtopia is also near our Heaven on the Waterfront, Creeksong, and Dancing Waters cabins, which can be helpful for larger groups booking nearby properties.
    The cabin sits at approximately 2,470 feet elevation and faces east-southeast, making sunrise and morning light especially beautiful.

    A Mountain View Stay to Remember

    Viewtopia is made for memory-making: coffee with sunrise views, afternoons on the trail, evenings in the hot tub, family games downstairs, and quiet moments on the private balcony. With panoramic mountain scenery, dog-friendly comfort, direct trail access, and a convenient location between Blue Ridge, Ellijay, and McCaysville/Copperhill, this cabin offers a true North Georgia mountain escape.

Perfect Stay

My husband and I did a weekend trip up from Florida and are so happy that we decided to stay at Viewtopia. The cabin itself was well stocked and clean. We felt right at home once we walked in. The views are amazing! Great and peaceful location. Plenty of birdwatching and we even had deer out foraging in the yard during our stay. Host is very responsive and quick when you need him. We will definitely be back to this one!

Breathtaking

My gf and I recently stayed at Viewtopia on our first trip to the Blue Ridge area. The views of the mountains are absolutely incredible! The property is very well maintained and well stocked with everything needed for us to enjoy our stay. Everything was within a 30 minute drive, great hiking trails, Horseshoe Bend Park (my pup’s favorite), and stables for horseback riding. The host, Dave, checked in regularly and made us feel at home. Can’t wait to go back!

Peace at Viewtopia

Best view we've ever had and we stay in BR quite a bit. We loved that there was plenty of room for the dogs to run around outside. The cabin was just beautiful, honestly went spent most of our time on that wonderful back porch. Again just an amazing view. Our time there was much needed and we got exactly what we were looking for....Peace!! And we got it and couldnt be more grateful for the visit to Viewtopia

Amazing Views!

Overall the place was amazing in/out! This trip was just me and my dog Luna and more than we needed but no regrets!! The only negative I could really give is access road in is a bit of a challenge but this is a mountainous area so an all-wheel or 4wheel drive vehicle would give you more confidence! I will definitely be coming back! As advertised and again the Views!! :)

A perfect escape!

My husband and I stayed at Viewtopia Cabin, and had an amazing, relaxing escape. The cabin is really beautiful, inside and out. We loved sitting on the porch, taking in the views, bird calls, and fresh pine scented air. We enjoyed the fireplace in the evenings, and on the one rainy day. It was perfect. The view is gorgeous, and wraps around the cabin, which is unique. Sunrises and sunsets, fog in the valley, with the mist rising...we were content to stay in and enjoy all that, but we did venture out to take some scenic drives. When it was time to come back to the cabin, we were happy to be back there! We will stay here again!

The most amazing experience

First I have to say we booked the cabin for the view and the fire place. Communication with everyone was excellent and prompt. We originally had planned to find different places to eat dinner every night but after the first few minutes in the cabin we through that out the window. We made dinner and ate on the porch every night and enjoyed the view. Coffee in the morning by the fire place and on the porch were unmatched. Hiking trails mid day and hitting the shore for dinner each night to get back and enjoy the property. It was so peaceful, comfy, and it felt like home. I wish this was my property ! Thank you so much for such a great time. We look forward to staying again in the future. Nick and Kaylee

Winter escape

The view is amazing!! The master upstairs is great- bed was awesome. The bedroom on main floor and the larger one downstairs were really nice. It would be nice if the tv upstairs could be updated and larger. The drive up/down the mountain to the cabin was at first an issue but once we learned how to navigate it we could do it on our van. The kids loved the hot tub also. We could see the sunrises and sunsets so that was especially nice and beautiful! The manager was very helpful and took care of things as needed. He helped us up the mountain the first night which was a perfect storm for us- pitch black, rainy and front wheeled drive full van. He got us up without an issue. He tried to fix the fireplace -gas logs-for us but couldn’t get repairman out til after we were gone- he gave us a discount for not being able to have a fire. That was very nice. I would stay here again. The view was outstanding!

Way more than I expected

My wife and I booked this cabin just for a getaway work trip. Change of scenery. I saw the pic’s and reviews online but, they did not do Justice for what we actually experienced. This was way more house than just my wife and I needed but, it made us not feel cramped at all. The views are just amazing. You can sit on the porch or in the hot tub and watch the sun rise over the mountains in the east. The 2nd level porch goes all the way around the house. The gas grill was very conveniently located and we used it just about every night. Inside, you have 3 levels to the house. The master is very large and has a deck of it’s own. The main level has the living area, kitchen and another bedroom. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need for a long stay. The lower level is a great place to send the kids. It has 2 bedrooms and a living area with a large screen tv. Now, the drive into town takes a minute so make sure you have what you need but, I think that’s why we rent cabins anyways so that we can get away. Just a beautiful place. We will be renting this cabin again.
