High Life Lodge- Riverfront, Fiber, HotTub, Fish, DogOK, Game Room, Movie Room

Escape to your own private paradise at our exquisite riverfront luxury cabin on Mountaintown Creek. Nestled amidst breathtaking natural beauty, this enchanting retreat offers unparalleled serenity and seclusion. Immerse yourself in the soothing sounds of the river as you unwind on the spacious deck, or indulge in pure relaxation in the cozy interior. With elegant furnishings, modern amenities, and stunning views from every corner, this is the perfect destination for an unforgettable getaway.

DOG- While we do allow ONE dog it must be 50 pounds or less and at least 2 years old. We require the completion of our Dog Form which includes uploading a Vet Health Certificate confirming the dog's breed, age, weight, and that its vaccinations are current along with a photo of the dog. Note that there is a pet fee of $35/night with a $70 minimum charge per stay. Also, we reserve the right to restrict certain breeds.

Enjoy all this from a five-star cabin that includes details such as professional hair care products by Paul Mitchell, luxurious bedding and towels, a fully stocked gourmet kitchen, a game room with Shuffleboard and Foosball, an outdoor game room with Ping Pong, a movie room with a 65" Smart TV/Sound Bar/DVD/Blu-ray player, two fireplaces(one firepit) to choose from, a wide assortment of board games, poker set, cards, a luxury Bull Frog Hot Tub with lounge seat, 3 king masters with balconies overlooking the river. You simply will not find a nicer cabin in a more idyllic setting.

The game room on the lower level along with the loft gaming area provide two additional twin size day beds with trundles in each location.

You will enjoy access to the entire home and nearly 1,000 feet of private riverfront as we own two additional lots and three adjacent homes. This includes a large grass area with a horseshoe court!

Note that our base rate is for 4 people and that the rate increases $15 per night per each additional Guest up to 8 total Guests or an additional $60 per night. This allows us to offer a more reasonable rate for smaller parties.

If you would like to rent more than one of our cabins, please see our listings Douple Up Mountaintown or Double Down Mountaintown. Please DO NOT book more than one cabin individually at the same time as this type of reservation does not allow guests to intermingle in each other's cabins. Only Registered Guests will be allowed in any individually rented cabins.

We now have Fiber Internet allowing speeds that will keep all guests connected and happy!

Please note that while access to the cabin is generally easy(we drive a Hyundai Sonota Hybrid), the last ~1/3 of a mile is on a community maintained gravel road. Parking is off-street and there are only three steps down to enter the cabin.

Finally, any reservations made within 48 hours of the arrival date will be subject to a $25 priority processing fee that is required by our security department.

We will be available to help at any time during your stay. We have lived in the area for years and are happy to help in any way we can. From restaurants to activities, our Welcome Book which will be provided covers many details of the area.

Beautiful getaway from the city
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The High Life Lodge! The house was perfectly appointed with everything we could need, extremely comfortable, and the views and location can’t be beat. Our host was easy to contact and very helpful with the check-in process. It was the perfect getaway from our busy life, and we cannot wait to return!

Birthday Getaway
The host was easy to communicate with and everything was as described. It’s a great size for several people with plenty of extra space if people want to just be in a quiet spot to read or enjoy the decks. He was also very accommodating for pets. Bring good hiking shoes or boots for the walk down to the river. The hot tub also got a lot of use and was very clean. And do not pass up on the apple pie if he offers… it was really good.

Beyond Impressed - Best Vacation Ever!
The cabin in Ellijay, GA, was absolutely perfect in every way. Before I go into the cabin amenities, I would like to note that the host, Brad, was great to work with, communication was top-notch, and everything was detailed to the "T" to ensure a pleasant, stress-free experience. The cabin was clean and had an outstanding balance of modern style and a traditional farmhouse cabin feel. Outside of food and drinks, literally everything you needed was provided. The beds were very comfortable, and there were plenty of sleeping options. My kids, 12 and 8, really enjoyed the playroom, separate living area, and hot tub. The cabin's backside and the river views were nothing short of breathtaking. If you're a nature lover, this cabin is a dream come true. We found ourselves drawn to the river three times a day, captivated by its beauty. The river and the views were like a living, breathing Thomas Kinkade painting, a sight to behold. Lastly, the little things will make your trip enjoyable, like the friendly folks in town, the neighborhood dear that will greet you daily, and the fresh southern apple pie on your arrival. If you need a specific call to action after this review, here it is... book this cabin!

Family Get Away
This home is amazing! There was so much to do! My husband and two adult children planned a trip to Ellijay for my birthday and I could not have been more pleased! The house was huge! We all had our own space with king beds and private bathrooms. The kitchen was enormous with everything you could need to cook. The view was beautiful with the river just below. This trip was very relaxing! We even had some deer friends come to visit and one let us hand feed him apples! We will definitely be booking again in the future!

3 Days at High Life Lodge
Had a great time at the Lodge with friends. Quiet and peaceful. Well stocked kitchen and nice gas grill on main deck. No need to leave lodge to eat in Ellijay as long as you pre-plan what you will be eating for your stay. Walk down to the river was a little steep, but the path had railing to help along the way. Will definitely consider booking again in the future. BTW, Deer greeted us when arriving and saw us off when leaving. Almost like they knew our schedule :)

The Perfect Getaway!
The owners have thought of everything in this gorgeous property! Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen,extra speakers- there wasn’t a moment during the weekend where we had to say that we wished we remembered something bc they had already thought of it. Brad was great with communication and very understanding with some last minute changes. We have stayed in many homes in the Ellijay area and this one can’t be beat. We enjoyed the sound of the River, the visiting deer, games, campfires, and just the overall beautiful accommodations. This is truly a place made for relaxing.. thanks so much for a fabulous weekend.

Definitely a 5 star
We can not say enough about how wonderful this place is. The communication is the best we’ve ever had. The user guide you get before your stay is so helpful and filled with so much info. The cabin is just a listed/pictured. Great touches with all the “extras” they provide. We’ve never stayed somewhere that provided tissues, foil,baggie, etc…. so nice to not have to pack all that stuff. Kitchen very well equipped. We even baked with the kids. The walk down to river is steep but it’s beautiful. If you’re not up for the steep walk Brad has 3 other properties right along the river you can inquire about. Highly recommend staying at one of Brad’s properties.
