Brand-New Cabin · Endless Mountain Views · Hot Tub · Amber Ridge Retreat

Welcome to your brand-new mountain retreat in Cherry Log, Georgia. This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom cabin was built for slowing down, with miles of mountain views, breathtaking sunsets, and plenty of space to spread out indoors and out.

Amber Ridge Retreat offers a clean, thoughtfully appointed mountain basecamp balancing relaxed sophistication, authentic warmth, and central access to mountain trails and town dining. An intentional focus on substance, clean modern mountain aesthetics, and dedicated host care that rejects outdated rustic tropes and photo-only facades.

- Long Range Mountain Views (facing west)
- Wood Fireplace
- Hot Tub
- Unbeatable location
- Newly Constructed Log Cabin

The main level has a fully equipped kitchen with brand-new appliances, a dining room for up to six, and a cozy living room with a wood-burning fireplace and large QLED Smart TV. The living room also has a Koala sleeper sofa that is comfortable enough for real overnight guests and converts to a queen bed. Just off the kitchen, the dining room is surrounded by windows, so you never miss that beautiful sunset (trust us, it never gets old).

The primary bedroom has a Brooklyn Bed Co Queen bed and an en suite bathroom. The guest bedroom has a Brooklyn Bed Co King bed and easy access to a closet.

Outdoors, the main-level patio is the spot for sunsets and mountain views. The main-level deck includes a bench-seat-for-two for enjoying your morning coffee and a Blackstone griddle for outdoor cooking. The large lower deck has a hot tub, a gas fire pit, a cozy sectional sofa, a farmhouse table hand built in Ellijay, and family fun games. An outdoor staircase leads down to this lower level, your own private hideaway for soaking, fireside evenings, and game nights.

The driveway fits 2-3 cars and has room to turn around - making for an easy trip back up the drive.

The cabin is easy to reach and only minutes from town. Because it's so accessible, you may catch the sound of passing cars from the decks during weekday commute times and occasionally on busy weekends. Evenings settle into an easy mountain calm, perfect for unwinding around the gas fire table or soaking in the hot tub.

Stay connected with high-speed Starlink internet, so streaming, video calls, and remote work are no problem.

Guests have full access to the cabin, including both bedrooms and bathrooms, the kitchen, living and dining rooms, the main-level patio, and the lower deck with the hot tub and gas fire pit. The driveway is also yours for parking.

Both bedrooms are set up for you to unpack and get comfortable, with a luggage rack and cabinets in each room. The guest bedroom has a closet for hanging clothes, and the primary bedroom has a wardrobe rack for the same purpose.

The only areas that are not available to guests are the primary bedroom closet and the unfinished basement.

I'm happy to answer questions before and during your stay. The best way to reach me is through Vrbo messaging, and I respond quickly.

Cherry Log is a small, quiet mountain community tucked between Blue Ridge and Ellijay, and Hidden Lake is one of its most peaceful corners, with paved roads, wooded surroundings, and mountain views.

You're also close to plenty to do. Downtown Blue Ridge and Ellijay are both a short drive away, with boutique shops, farm-to-table dining, wineries, and seasonal festivals. A few local favorites:

>Pink Pig BBQ: Cherry Log's own barbecue spot, just down the road
>Fall Branch Falls: an easy hike to a waterfall in Chattahoochee National Forest
>Blue Ridge Scenic Railway: a classic ride through the mountains
>Mercier Orchards: fresh apples and baked goods, especially fun in the fall
>Bear Claw Vineyards & Winery: local wine tasting
>Ellijay River Vineyards: local wine tasting
>Blue Ridge Tubing

Atlanta is about an hour and a half away, so the cabin works well for a weekend escape or a longer stay.

The cabin is in the Hidden Lake community in Cherry Log, between Blue Ridge and Ellijay, and a car is the best way to get around. Downtown Blue Ridge and Ellijay are both a short drive away, and Atlanta is about an hour and a half away.

The driveway has room for 2-3 cars and space to turn around before going back up the drive. Hidden Lake has paved roads, and the community is not gated, so you can drive straight to the cabin. Your check-in message will include the full address and directions.

We recommend using apple maps to navigate. Mountain areas can have spotty cell service, so download our driving instructions before leaving. The cabin has Starlink Wi-Fi, so calls and messages work over Wi-Fi once you're inside.

The view is the reward for a little mountain driving! The property sits up a fully paved mountain road with some steep stretches, and the driveway is steep, and paved, too. Most guests find it easier to make their first trip up in daylight, so they can enjoy the scenery and get a feel for the road. You may meet a car coming the other way now and then, but there are plenty of pull-offs, and by your second trip it will feel like second nature.

No four-wheel drive or truck needed. The driveway is paved and scored concrete but may make some nervous due to the steepness. We want to notify you prior to booking if you think the steep drive may make you uncomfortable. Any regular vehicle does just fine, unless snow or ice is in the forecast. In that case, we recommend four-wheel drive. Trust us, it's worth it!
