About this property

Luxury Cabin, Breathtaking Year Round Views a Quiet Retreat

Sun Dial Lodge is surrounded by thousands of acres of National Forest, which have many beautiful hiking trails, including the Appalachian Trail with both extensive hiking as well as a smaller local trail, which are very close to the lodge.
NOTE: A Weekly booking is required for Thanskgiving Holiday.

The Lodge offers spectacular mountain views from almost every room on both the main and the upper level with 30’ ceilings in the main room. The entire interior is constructed of beautiful yellow pine and has been tastefully decorated with the mountain theme. The oversize dining room table will seat 8 with plenty of room to spare.

The Master Bedroom has a comfortable King sized bed, a TV and a screened in private porch. The large master bath has a jetted soaking tub with a separate shower.

On the Loft you may wish to enjoy Billiards by the gas log fireplace. A large desk is situated on the loft for your convenience.

The Bedroom on the Main Floor has access to the main porch via double doors, and has a comfortable Queen sized bed, adjacent to the bedroom is the bathroom.

The Lower Level Bedroom contains 2 comfortable Queen size beds, and adjacent to the bedroom is the lower bathroom. Also on the lower level you have a video room with a High definition TV with DirecTV . You can enjoy the expansive porch on this level with access to the 2.5 acres and out door fire pit.

You will see much wild life in the area; you may spot deer from one of the porches, and sometimes turkey and an occasional black bear as well as humming birds and much more.

Conveniently located only 25 minutes to Blairsville, Downtown Blue Ridge and Ellijay, and about 1 hour from Murphy NC, and a choice of 2 rivers for white water rafting. Locally you will find any number of things to keep you occupied.

Dial is one of the most beautiful areas of the North Georgia Mountains, with the Toccoa River nearby, and beautiful pastures as well as the Mountains. You will feel as if you were a million miles from civilization and the area is extremely quiet.

Beautiful views, wildlife and spotless home

The is very close to outdoor hiking, fishing, etc and about a 30 minute ride to the town of Blue Ridge. The neighborhood is very nice with not a lot of density. There are deer and wild turkey all over the mountain and this home has a wonderful long range mountain view.

Beautiful view

Amazing stay at this property. Everything was perfect. Beautiful view of the mountains from the balcony and from the jacuzzi. Beds we’re comfortable. Everything you could need was there. 10-15 deer hung out in the front and back on several occasions. My son is 8 and he had a great time exploring out back. Lots of things to do all within 15-30 minutes of cabin.

30 Minutes from Blue Ridge, GA

This is a very well appointed property with a great view of the mountains, however the map on the VRBO site is misleading as it lists distances from downtown Blue Ridge, not from the property. I understand not wanting to show the actual address but the map should show distances from the general region of the property. We booked this thinking it was within walking distance of the town - it is not. The property is a 30+ minute drive southeast of town. When we were informed of the address we chose not to cancel, but be aware the map on the site is misleading at best. If you want a nice place a ways out of town this is perfect for that. If you want to be very close to Blue Ridge find another property.

Great Getaway

Beautiful land peaceful location. We enjoyed staying here with our family of 6. The lay out of the home was perfect for us. Kitchen was equipped for us to cook our Thanksgiving feast. Spa has a beautiful view and our children loved exploring the forest and watching wildlife! We saw turkeys, and deer. The beds were all so comfortable and the game room was a hit. The home was clean and cozy. We enjoyed local food and panning for gems. It was a perfect relaxing vacation for the whole family. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you!

We had a great time!

We loved the remote area and the cabin! There were many things to do or just relax and take in the view. Cabin was well stocked with all the amenities of home! The internet was spotty at times which did pose a little trouble for my husband who had to work a day ot two during our stay, but we managed. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home!

Cozy and toddler friendly

Went with my older parents and toddler and was great for all! I appreciated the lack of small knickknacks and the pack and play as well as how well the kitchen was stocked with tools and plates for a stress free cooking experience. Was an easy drive into Blue Ridge but we mostly enjoyed relaxing on the porch together. Our host was easy to communicate with and we appreciated their hospitality!

A slice of Heaven

My family, myself, husband, mother in-law and my 12 year old son booked a family getaway. After many days of looking at reviews and properties, we decided on the Sun Dial Lodge. This cabin will not disappoint you! The photos do not do justice for the cabin itself. The cabin is breath taking and the view is spectacular. Mrs. Elaine was quick to communicate and very pleasant. If you have elders going with you, I suggest putting them on the main level as the steps can get tiring for them. We have 0 complaints on the cabin and enjoyed every moment there!!

Simply Fantastic

Simply Fantastic!!!! Truly a Georgia Mountain Getaway. The property is in a great condition with all necessary amenities. Clean, well maintained 3 floor cabin. Plenty of space to move around, lounge on the balcony and or patio to take in the mountain air and endless forest with mountain views. Very serene and quiet location, gave us a chance to unwind and get plenty of rest. Located within short distance of waterfalls, hikes, wineries, and rivers and lakes. Plenty of things to do with the family, we were very pleased. And definitely will be back again! Just simply fantastic!!!

About the host

Hosted by elaine Mcdonnell

Host profile image
We purchased this property as a second home. It has been our dream to own a cabin in the mountains so our ever expanding family could get together and enjoy vacations together. When we walked in and saw the view and the beautiful great room and dining area, we knew that we had found our home. We have had some absolutely magnificent vacations here and looking forward to many more. We have seen most of the Blue Ridge area and have not found an area that we like more. We have a wonderful time exploring the trails and tubing down the Taccoa River. We hope that you will love the Sun Dial Lodge as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The location has beautiful mountain views with a pastoral feel with the goat farm at the bottom to the road to the pastures that line the Toccoa River. You can enjoy a private retreat and is only a 25-minute drive to downtown Blueridge.

What makes this property unique

The Red Berry Ridge homeowners association commitment to preserving feel of the rustic mountains but also having a upscale private community, with only 13 home sites in the development you will find only more luxury homes.
