Above the Pines is the perfect place to escape from the hustle and
bustle of everyday life, whether adventure or relaxation is what you
desire. We can offer the best of both to you!
This secluded cabin is perched high on a mountainside, surrounded by a
forest of hardwoods and pine trees. It is located in the heart of the
Rich Mountain Wilderness and Aska Adventure Areas of Blue Ridge,
Georgia. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Blue Ridge
Mountains while relaxing in a porch swing or rocking chair on any one
of our three oversized covered decks.
The area is renowned for its miles of hiking and mountain biking
trails. An easy hike just down the hill from the cabin will take you
along Stanley Creek to Falls Branch Falls. If a longer hike is in you
plans, the Benton MacKay Trail is walking distance from the cabin’s
front door. During much of the year, visitors can be spotted canoeing,
tubing, and fly-fishing on the Toccoa River or playing in and around
Lake Blue Ridge, both just minutes from Above the Pines.
After a day full of adventure, Above the Pines is the perfect place to
retire. Soak aching muscles in our 6-person hot tub while watching the
setting sun cast shadows on the surrounding mountains. If cooking a
delicious dinner is in your plans, we have a fully functioning
kitchen, gas grill, appliances, and even a handful of spices to assist
you. All you have to provide is your food of choice and beverages!
Late evenings can be enjoyed listening to crickets and the distant
creek beneath a canvas of stars while roasting marshmallows in our
outdoor fire pit. The landscape can also be viewed from the vaulted
great room’s “wall of windows” while a fire burns in the inviting
2-story, stacked stone gas fireplace. The cabin is equipped with
satellite TV, VCR/DVD and movies to enjoy. Challenge your cabin mates
to a board game, cards, or a round of foosball before retiring to your
room where luxurious bedding and 300- thread count sheets await. Above
the Pines comfortably sleeps 6 guests. The 3 bedroom suites are
furnished with plush queen size beds. The master suite on the upper
floor has its own bathroom and private balcony while the 2 main floor
bedrooms share a generous size bath.
Come for a weekend get-away or a week-long vacation escape. We would
love to welcome you to our home-away-from-home.
