About this property

The Lakeside Cabin at Misty Morning Lake. Explore 35 Acres and a Private Lake!

Whether you are enjoying a small intimate getaway as a couple or are planning to take the whole family, we believe our Retreat at Misty Morning Lake will offer an amazing experience for you in Ellijay in the south Blue Ridge Mountains. You will have private and exclusive access to Misty Morning Lake, our 3-acre fully stocked fishing (catch and release), swimming, and small boat lake. You will also have access to our numerous accessible and well-groomed private trails and roads throughout the forested 33-acre property. You can nature walk, hike, trail jog or mountain bike throughout. Or simply head to the hilltop, have a picnic, and marvel at the beautiful mountain view. You and your family will enjoy the comforts of the cabin and we hope you will find many pleasant surprises.

If you need additional cabin space, for additional friends and/or family you can also investigate the adjoining sister property on an additional 20 acres at the Hilltop Cabin VRBO.com/3953069. Speak with your host after booking for more information.

In the master bedroom, we have a comfortable queen bed, night table and 9 drawer chest to store all of your belongings. In addition, we have a closet for your hanging items. Our work station with monitor, keyboard, and mouse are ready to plug in your laptop in case the need arises. We have high speed fiber internet access and WIFI that reaches out to the fishing deck. The master has a connected bathroom with a corner shower and vanity with plenty of storage shelves.

There is a second full bathroom with large shower, vanity, plenty of storage shelving and full size laundry available.

In the second bedroom, also known as the bunk room, we have 2 twin beds over 2 queen beds able to sleep 6. There is a 9 drawer chest and closet for storing all your belongings.

Each bedroom and the living room has a Roku equipped TV to access your streaming services.

In the living area we have a couch, rocking chair and armchair for lounging around, watching TV or enjoying the cozy wood burning stove. We have selection of DVDs for children and families as well as board games, puzzles and playing cards for leisure indoor time.

Our kitchen is fully equipped with supplies to create meals for your family (pots and pans, crock pot, Instant Pot, Vitamix blender, griddle and more). There is a coffee pot and electric water kettle to start your day with a warm beverage.

We have a large, screened porch with additional seating to view the lake and outdoor activities. Outside there is a 4-person hot tub and fire pit with Adirondack chairs for relaxing while taking in the views. Watching the stars at night from the hot tub is amazing experience. We have very little light pollution and the number of stars that are visible to the naked eye is awe inspiring.

We have a canoe, 2 single person kayaks and a small rowboat for use on the lake. Or you can just jump in and swim. It is so refreshing on a hot day! On the far side of the lake is a very large deck for relaxing on the waterfront or for catch and release fishing. Have a seat in the swing overlooking the lake for a peaceful spot to read. There are multiple seating areas around the lake and on the hilltop for conversation and fun!

There is so much to do in the area for the outdoor adventurer such as hiking, mountain biking, fishing, or rafting and tubing. Visit the apple houses in Ellijay or Blue Ridge for all the harvest delights! There are wineries, breweries and tasty restaurants for the food explorer. Lots of fun shopping options in Ellijay or Blue Ridge for those who like to leisurely stroll and window shop.

Exceeded Expectations

We had the best time! The boys had a blast fishing, kayaking and even swimming(crazy) in the cold water. I had a few questions that were very quickly responded to. My son has Tourette Syndrome so it is very seldom we go places where he is at peace and comfortable. He wanted to fish, but he wanted privacy so he did not have to worry and it was perfect for him and all of us. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

An Unforgettable Stay!

There are truly no words to describe how amazing this property is. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The home itself is beautifully maintained and incredibly well-equipped—everything we could possibly need was provided and thoughtfully labeled. The surrounding trails and the serene lake added even more magic to our stay. One of the highlights was the scavenger hunt, which was so much fun and a unique touch that made our time here even more memorable. Whether we were exploring the trails, relaxing by the water, or enjoying the cozy comfort of the house, every moment was perfect. We can’t wait to come back!

We had fun fishing, kayaking, canoeing and swimming!! Kids were in heaven to where the only thing we had to leave for was to get more fishing bait!! We will definitely be back and recommend this property to everyone!!!

Lovely property!

This is the second time we’ve stayed at the lakeside cabin and it was just as wonderful the second time as it was the first! 10/10 recommend! So much to do on the property and feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere but you’re only approximately 15 minutes from town. Love this place and Nicole is a dream to work with! We will definitely be back!!

Great Getaway

The cabin and property are well worth the 5 star ratings. The furnishings are excellent, The kitchen was the best equipped we have rented. The property is beautiful and the fishing is fine (I caught three fish in the first four casts with my drop shot). We didn't take advantage of the trails, but they seem to be very well kept. The communication with the host was great. I highly recommend this property.

Wonderful Nature Escape

Wife and I wanted a few days to re-charge and connect with nature. Could not have picked a better place. The property is exactly as described but mere words are not adequate to describe the awesome tranquil experience. The cottage layout and included amenities fulfills all your needs. The fishing was exhilarating and bountiful. The serene beauty of this property needs to be experienced by anyone looking to re-connect with nature.

Cabin trip

We had such a great time staying at the cabin. We wanted to feel like we were secluded out in the mountains and thats exactly what we got. The cabin was so cozy, clean, and smelled amazing when we walked in. There was plenty of things to do just on the property, we fished and swam mostly, but did explore the hiking trails the owners made. It felt like our own private state park. Definitely recommend to others.

We absolutely love this property. 4th time visiting and it just keeps getting better. The view is incredible, there’s no reason to have to leave the property, plenty to keep you busy. We would stay here several times a year if we could afford it. But twice a year will suffice. 😊

Perfect Weekend Getaway

Everything about this property was perfect in every way and listing is very accurate. Every amenity has been well thought out and the owners have gone above and beyond to accommodate anyone. Any questions you may have are already answered with all provided. Rules and information posted around the lake in several spots was convenient. The hot tub was great at night and comfortably fit all four of us and could have easily fit a couple more. The goal of the trip was to relax and fish and this hidden gem did not disappoint. When the listing states the lake is stocked it is very accurate as we stayed two nights and ended up catching over 20 bass! Taking my wife and kids out one at a time in the provided Jon boat was a real treat to hit those sweet fishing spots. What’s better than catching a 1lb bass? Watching a 10lb bass trying to steal the lure out of its mouth while you’re reeling it in! Caught it on video! My only regret is forgetting to sign the guest book before we left. But that’s okay, we’ll just sign it twice when we return because we WILL be back! Thank you for the memories.
