Beautiful place, Dave was very kind and waking up in the morning was wonderful looking out onto the sunrise.

"Airbnb Review #820350945376773955 #187756"

Incredible experience!

"Airbnb Review #818164899474408747 #187705"

Such a cool place with the perfect name of ‘ Viewtopia’. Its all about the amazing view!! You have a Complete sense of privacy and remoteness while maintaining convenient access.
The road accessing the property does require your attention and I would heed the warning to arrive in daylight - but it was not a problem even in a small SUV with no 4 wd and the top of the hill is definitely worth the incline!
Great extras like cozy throw blankets and fans. One highlight is a fantastic fully fenced -in deck surrounding the house so a perfect play- pen for children or a dog! Dave was great to communicate and work with.
Definitely a peaceful, well - designed and equipped get-away with an amazing view!

"Airbnb Review #815299440644842456 #187040"

We cannot say enough great things about viewtopia. The pictures in my opinion do not do it justice. The views are absolutely incredible and the sunrises were unbelievable! The hot tub and fire place were great amenities we used every day. Dave was a great host and was great at communicating and answering questions. This property should not be skipped over it was definitely one of the best experiences we have had renting anywhere we will definitely return. The one recommendation I would make is to follow the instructions and make your initial arrival during the day the road up to the cabin can be a little challenging at first but was easily navigated throughout the stay.

"Airbnb Review #810951838721732500 #186574"

We loved your cabin. Amazing views. Thank you so much for everything.

"Airbnb Review #798547508946140391 #185564"

We loved our stay at Viewtopia! Unfortunately it did storm two of the days we were there so lots of fog but it was still absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. The master bedroom is very spacious and the master bathroom is absolutely wonderful. We felt right at home at Viewtopia and were so so sad to go! The views are absolutely breathtaking! Be sure to wake up everyday you can for the sunrise... we've missed it so much!

"Viewtopia"

Amazing view! Beautiful house and so welcoming. They had snacks, wine, and even a bag of treats for our dog. The furnishings were comfortable and the wrap around porch was all enclosed so I felt safe letting my dog lose on it. The road up to the house is an adventure and my rav4 struggled a little but made it without 4 wheel drive. Communication was easy and kept us up to date with severe weather changes. I would recommend this property.

"Airbnb Review #793520009202533952 #183241"

What an absolutely wonderful place! We spent the week of Christmas at Viewtopia and made lifelong memories enjoying the spectacular view. Others have commented on the drive to the cabin, but it was easily accessible (and we came in following a winter storm!). The views cannot be beat and we had the unique experience of experience cold snowy days at the beginning of our trip and warm spring-like sunshine days at the end of our trip. The hot tub is a must enjoy, especially at sunrise! Highly recommend staying at Viewtopia to relax, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of the Blue Ridge area.

"Airbnb Review #788476638307527149 #182819"

Great place. Amazing view. Amenities are really. Fireplace, hot tub, grill, and really nice beds. Host was readily available when I had a question. Great stay.

"Clean and wonderful"

Everything is great

"Airbnb Review #768146668288644612 #181544"

We had a great time, I will say the view is definitely worth the drive….BUT if you don’t enjoy the drive, stock up on groceries and stay for the view!

"Airbnb Review #755120852232569001 #177079"

Everything as pictured. We grilled, used the hot tub, sat on the porches and saw some wildlife. The VIEW is amazing!!! Pictures don’t do it justice. The drive in from the road to the cabin gave me a panic attack. But in order to get the view you have to get up the mountain. The cabin itself is very nice, cozy yet spacious. Had everything we needed for our stay.

"three night getaway"

Viewtopia was wonderful. Excellent views. Well appointed. Good location. We loved it.

"Airbnb Review #743510944000296002 #174930"

I have been to the blue ridge many times but this was by far my favorite stay w the best view! The home was beautiful, clean and spacious! I can’t possibly even put into words how beautiful the view was! I would go back in a heartbeat and recommend this beautiful home to others!

"Great location"

We had a great time at Viewtopia. We spent 2 days sitting and looking out at the view. The information provided on local breweries was very useful as our third day was spent visiting local breweries and restaurants.

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ at minimum"

We really enjoyed our stay at Viewtopia. The view was phenomenal. The beds were very comfy. The kitchen was nice & had everything we needed to enjoy family meals at this fantastic property. The hot tub (with an amazing view) was one of our favorites. Viewtopia is close to great hiking, waterfalls, and other local attractions. 5 stars, at least.

"Fantastic Fall Getaway"

We had an amazing time at Viewtopia. The views are so amazing we hardly left the cabin. Very well furnished and the hot tub was perfectly placed. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

"Airbnb Review #729681474368221047 #172582"

Dave was a great host , great with communication very helpful with recommendations around the cabin. The view I do not believe can be beat. Very beautiful and peaceful place to relax and enjoy all the views. We would definitely recommend Dave’s place to anyone. Thanks again

"Airbnb Review #718092305533058685 #170542"

Best views around! Viewtopia is the perfect name for this place. Had an amazing time- loved the house and the wrap around porch with amazing stars at night, hummingbirds, and wildlife. Close to hiking and off road trails. Woke up to spectacular Mountain Views. Dave is very responsive and helpful. Will definitely come back.

"Amazing Views!"

This home is near the top of a mountain with stunning views of mountains in Georgia and North Carolina! Our favorite pastime was to sit on the porch watching the hummingbirds come to the feeders and look into the uninterrupted mountain views. The home was incredibly clean and perfect for our 2 week stay. The porch wrapped around the entire house and was closed off which made it great for our dog. No worries of him running off! We liked the seclusion. We couldn't see another house. Lots of wineries and we hit as many of them as possible. lol We will definitely visit this cabin again. Located halfway between Ellijay and Blue Ridge made it easy to reach both towns. Thank you Dave for being only a text message away and responding so quickly with any questions we may have had. Love this home!

"Perfect week in a remote, beautiful paradise"

The owners have spared no expense to make our stay a wonderful week. The views are even better than the pictures. The home is well maintained, and the cleaning crew does an exceptional job. Dave stays in touch and gives you a contact person in case you should need anything. The barbeque is first rate, and the afternoons on the deck with a glass of wine is a perfect setting for a relaxing week. Blueridge is only 8 miles and has all you need for food and supplies. We had to drive 12 miles to Ellijay for our liquor run, but that also was a 15 minute drive. Restaurants were a step back in time with excellent food. It took a couple of days to learn the radios in the bedrooms are Bluetooth, and when we did, they were on the deck, which made the days perfect. Waterfalls, and hiking trails are nearby, but we stayed on the deck most of our stay.

"Spectacular View!"

We enjoyed our getaway at Viewtopia. The house was very clean, well equipped and the views were amazing. I can't imagine what it must look during a snowfall. Brilliant stars at night, ever changing mountain views. Got up for sunrise one morning - simply stunning! Dave was a great host and so laid back. We were greeted with a bottle of wine and treats - such a nice touch. We really felt appreciated as guests which, of late hasn't necessarily been the case (we travel a lot). We did not get in hot tub - but it's huge! Beds were very comfy. The grounds were very well landscaped and beautiful. My only suggestion would be a fire pit for sure - for spring, fall and winter that would be amazing! Maybe a little more comfy cushions for the porch rockers and some alternative seating on front porch for the mornings. But it is really a beautiful home and we could tell the owners have really put a lot of love into it. Oh, and did I mention the hummingbirds??? WOW! Wonderful stay!

"Viewtopia lives up to its name."

A lovely cabin with plenty of balconies and windows from which to enjoy stunning and amazing mountain range and nature views.

"Airbnb Review #688362580191615082 #164662"

Breathtaking views! We enjoyed the grounds and hot tub immensely. Tip: 99-100 degrees was perfect hot tub temp for us. When we got there it was 104 and that was unbearable.

"Airbnb Review #683283012891586887 #163462"

Beautiful views! Beautiful cabin! Stellar host! Will be booking again soon!

"Airbnb Review #681148182091919673 #163030"

Place was amazing! Driveway can be intimidating if you have never been in the mountains before. But totally doable.

"A Little Piece of Heaven"

Viewtopia lives up to its name. My husband and I were there for a long weekend and did not leave the property at all. We watched the sunrises and birds (especially the hummingbirds), listened to the mooing cows, and appreciated not hearing cars nor seeing people. A wonderful rest - and our furry friend loved it, too.

"Incredible view"

This place is even better in person! The view is stunning. Clean cabin with everything you need. We enjoyed most of our time out on the porch. Would definitely recommend!

"Viewtopia Review"

I’ve never been big on completing reviews. That said, we had such an amazing vacation at Viewtopia I felt compelled to share it so others can read the review and make a more informed decision. First off the views are beyond amazing, we have stayed in the mountains before and I can say I’ve never seen views like what we saw from Viewtopia. Dave is great to work with and not only answered my questions but provided documents and web links to the various attractions and hiking points of interest we wanted to go to. It was only by chance that I met Dave in person during our stay, based on that brief interaction I felt like I’ve known him for years. I can honestly say this was hands down the best vacation I’ve ever done with my wife and daughter.

"Airbnb Review #651389082748309435 #156888"

Gorgeous views, well stocked kitchen and house. Close to town for grabbing lunch after hiking, etc. Very private, highly recommend.

"Amazing Vacation Rental ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

This vacation rental is amazing! The interior of the home is very roomy and allowed for all 6 of us to have our own space. We spent a lot of time away and exploring but the time we did spend at the house was good quality family time! Couldn’t ask for anything better! Only thing I can say about the view is WOW absolutely amazing, you’ve got to get up early and watch the sunrise and stay up to watch the sunsets! The hot tub at nights under the stars is nice and relaxing! I’ve already recommended this place to some of my co workers!!

"Airbnb Review #647745390056348884 #155991"

We loved our stay!!! This place is so beautiful and peaceful!! I will definitely be returning!

"Airbnb Review #638398204234655438 #154686"

Viewtopia has it all! Great location, views for miles upon miles, great house with plenty of space and well stocked. Couldn’t have picked a better place for a nice long weekend.

"Airbnb Review #632584764346607284 #153101"

The view is even better than the photos show. The house and grounds are very well-maintained. Overall a great experience and we will seek this property out next time we plan a trip to the Blue Ridge area.

"Airbnb Review #623139967886029749 #151759"

Stunning

"Airbnb Review #572473596876472556 #143617"

Jaw dropping view. This is the best place you can go to to truly disconnect and unwind. The pictures do not do it justice and the whole check-in/check-out process was seamless. I would definitely recommend that anybody come here!

"Airbnb Review #567394409735067063 #142595"

This is our second time staying at viewtopia and it’s as beautiful as I remember. Dave is great, prompt communication and even let us check out late so we could take a work meeting before we left.
The view is nothing short of amazing, you won’t want to leave the cabin. The view from the hot tub is equally as great. Definitely worth the drive.

"Airbnb Review #563073293542995263 #142341"

Dave is an awesome host and Viewtopia stands out not just because of the view! The cabin is very clean and homey the bed is very comfortable and so is the couch. The view from the bedroom in particular is something you could get used to waking up to every morning. The hot tub gets really hot and the jets works very well and there are also Bluetooth speakers in the hot tub. The location really stands out because you will pass a few cabins going up the mountain but had you not passed them you would never know they are there- 10/10 recommend Viewtopia!

"Airbnb Review #560188752988979592 #141675"

Viewtopia was a great get away for us and our two pups. The house was well stocked and centrally located to a ton of activities. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets!

"Airbnb Review #546394175270560651 #139625"

Excellent stay. Beautiful views and even prettier house. Will be back!

"Airbnb Review #537650671276164603 #138348"

The pictures do not do the place justice. The view was incredible and the cabin was exceptional. Dave was fantastic to communicate with and made everything simple and easy to navigate. Really look forward to returning in the future. A little slice of peace and heaven on earth!

"Simply Amazing"

Words can not describe how wonderful this getaway was. Communication with Dave and Roxann was on point. They made sure we were all informed before we arrived and during our stay. The cabin and view was breathtaking. If you ever need to disconnect from the everyday hustle, this is the place to be. We can’t wait to come back next year!

"Airbnb Review #534725928953225714 #137768"

Viewtopia is not to be slept or skipped on! This place is immaculate, serene and absolutely everything needed to relax, replenish and renew. The place matches the photos perfectly, and I had the best sleep while staying there—no dust, no details missed, no worries.

The view?! SIC!

Dave is absolutely SUPERB in care, consideration, communication and hospitality! I was so scared I’d gotten lost after running late and it falling dark on my drive up, but Dave stayed in touch, check in on my progress and walked me through (really rescued me lol) arriving safely with no issues. This place is so special and I’ll definitely be back!

(Tip: PERFECT place for getting over writers block or doing strategic business planning!)

Thank you, I’ll definitely be booking again!

"Peaceful Escape"

Easily 5 stars. A peaceful escape after several overbooked months. It felt therapeutic to sit with nature, cook, play board games, hang out in the hot tub, and cozy up by the fire. I stayed at many vacation rentals is this by far the most impressively stocked kitchen and cleanest dishes I’ve encountered. The whole place was spotless. So many tiny well thought out details were present throughout the cabin- like snacks, cozy blankets, conveniently placed cleaning items, bluetooth speakers with instructions, etc.

"Airbnb Review #519527152932035318 #135947"

Don’t think twice about booking viewtopia! Waking up every morning, sipping on a cup of coffee while watching the sun come up while overlooking the beautiful view!! Dave gave us recommendations on things to do locally such as trails, waterfalls, restaurants, etc. Any questions I had was answered with quick responses. We loved our vacation

"Blue Ridge Beauty"

Wow what a fantastic view!!! Wonderful rental and the management folks were outstanding.

"Airbnb Review #516658195929557919 #135454"

Great house!

"Airbnb Review #505768610892374324 #133674"

We loved our stay! My husband and I were joined for Thanksgiving by my mom and brother. Each of us had our own bed/bath on 3 separate floors. Helped everyone feel like they had enough space to step away from family time. The kitchen was well stocked and we did lots of cooking. Everything was very comfortable during our stay. My only complaint is we had to leave!

"Airbnb Review #502876583859929732 #133355"

Super stay. View is amazing. Three levels, bedroom on each floor. Great place to unplug and enjoy the space.

"Airbnb Review #492782783314386380 #132329"

Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend! The cabin and view is absolutely stunning. There is very detailed information that is available to answer any questions you may have. Dave was wonderful and very accommodating! We definitely recommend and will be booking with them again!

"Amazing"

Viewtopia has amazing views. We were very fortunate to catch the fall colors at their peak and view was amazing!!! Dave was very informative. Gave excellent area information and directions to cabin. We had GREAT time!!

"Airbnb Review #491222956635236876 #132082"

Viewtopia does not disappoint! It’s so secluded and private and just an amazing spot to enjoy some of the most spectacular views. The amenities were our favorite and the host was super communicative and friendly. Within a 20 min drive to nearby Blue Ridge and all it has to offer. Would definitely come back again to Viewtopia!

"Airbnb Review #486176152873585994 #132053"

This was our second time at Viewtopia this year. We originally visited back in the early Spring and immediately rebooked for the Fall because we knew the view would be spectacular. We weren't disappointed. It was fairly cold and drizzly for most of our stay, making the gas fireplace very welcome, but on the last day the sun was out and I took advantage of the Benton MacKaye trail being literally at the road turning onto the mountain. Can't wait to come back for another visit.

"Airbnb Review #481871110692157081 #131079"

The view is even better than expected. I don't believe there is a better one in the area! You are truly "in the mountains." There are no cabins nearby. The silence is so relaxing!
The location is convenient to everything. You are able to avoid the heavy traffic in Blue Ridge during apple season.
The property was as clean and well kept as you will find. You will not be disappointed!

"Airbnb Review #470278304716104776 #128761"

Gorgeous oasis that we cannot wait to go back to! It was even better than the pictures and absolutely spotless. An easy drive into town but you may not want to leave. Thanks again Dave - we hope to be back soon!

"Airbnb Review #465138681887254967 #127645"

This was hands down worth every penny! we chose this as the first stop on our honeymoon and we’re not disappointed. We were able to fully disconnect and just spent quiet time alone and also got to venture around town when we wanted. The view was incredible- easily can see why this is called Viewtopia!

"Absolutely Incredible"

My family and I stayed at Viewtwopia for three nights this past weekend. It was one of the best getaways we have taken as a family. The property is absolutely incredible and the name Viewtopia is much deserving. The cabin (luxury home) was perfect for the 5 adults and our 6-week old daughter. Dave was incredible throughout the entire process and left us with everything we needed to have an excellent trip. We can't wait to get back there again in the near future.

"Absolutely gorgeous"

We had a group of six and enjoyed everything about this cabin. The views were absolutely gorgeous. Dave was also very helpful with our activity planning. It was a very relaxing break. Looking forward to a return trip.

"Airbnb Review #450668041983859563 #125533"

The view is AMAZING! Decided to spend my 30th birthday here with my family and the cabin did not disappoint! Woke up every morning to the beautiful mountains and humming birds on the back porch. The cabin is located close by to both Blue ridge and Elijay in which we spent a lot of time in both areas. It was also close to some great hiking spots and waterfalls. If you have never driven up a mountain, I could see the drive being a little scary. I myself did not find it to be bad at all. 10/10 would recommend!!!!

"Airbnb Review #436931001841996936 #122912"

Appropriately named… Viewtopia, is heaven on earth! This is a three level gorgeous home with a bed and full bath on each level with the most beautiful Mountain View’s seen from every window and everyone has their own porch. PERFECT for a couple of families to vacation together. The drive up is bouncy and steep but So worth it!!! Town is only 15-20 mins away but you won’t want to leave once you arrive. We will be back to enjoy this paradise and relaxing home again.

"Viewtopia Bday Weekend"

Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful cabin. Driving up the hill toward the house is a spectacular moment. The views are amazing. The home is so warm and inviting. We had a very peaceful and serene experience. My best friend and I recently experienced losses of a loved one and it was very cathartic to getaway and relax and remember the good times and grieve. This will definitely be a place that we will visit again and again!

"Airbnb Review #423897369797231178 #120102"

Great stay! The view was amazing. The cabin was clean and well taken care of. The host was very attentive throughout the entire stay. Definitely coming back.

"Airbnb Review #415917790733814724 #118565"

This cabin is incredible. Truly secluded and private, breathtaking views, lovely landscaping, and the interior is very homey and well put-together. Our dogs loved exploring and running around, and we loved sitting on the porch watching the endless hummingbirds fly about. This property is something out of the movies— worth every penny!

"Incredible!"

"Amazing views"

Family had a amazing time. House had everything needed to relax and enjoy views and hot tube views too! Also enjoyed town, we hiked, went tubing, zip lining & white water rafting. Really enjoyed GA

"breath taking!"

Two words, breath taking! From the minute we pulled up to the cabin we were wowed. The view is amazing! This was the most relaxing vacation I have ever taken. The host created the perfect atmosphere to enjoy the cabin. He checked on us throughout our stay and provided so many useful suggestions and tips before we even arrived.The cabin was really clean. It also had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It was like staying in a hotel with top notch amenities but 10 times better. We were able to prepare a steak dinner in the fully stocked kitchen. Wash our clothes and towels after soaking in the jacuzzi at night with pods that were provided. Make coffee that was provided and enjoy the sun rise from our balcony. The bed was very comfortable. We slept amazing and woke up to the beautiful view of the mountains, and blue skies. I loved all of the glass windows everywhere. I was able to see the views from almost every room in the cabin. We spotted deer all three days we were there. We also saw fire flies at night. It was just so serene being out in nature. The only thing we probably will do differently next time is rent a truck or something sturdier. Our nissan altima made it safely but we would have made it up much easier in a larger vehicle. Overall this was the best trip ever. I really enjoyed the cabin and can not wait to go back. Thanks Dave for giving us a amazing experience.

"One of top 2 places to stay in the mountains"

View view view!!!!

"Magnificent"

All I can say is that I hope we can return soon. Best stay ever.

"Makes me want to come back - permanently"

Literally felt like we were at. The top of the world during our visit. The climb was worth it from the Mountain View’s, the peace and serenity of waking up each day to looking at the mountains and valley below and having everything we needed at our fingertips. Great amenities, steps to the hot tub and far away, but close enough to everything to make it a true vacation.

"Amazing stay!"

Amazing stay! Great location with an amazing view and still close to Blue Ridge for shopping and other excursions, lots of space!

"Wow"

When you pull up to the cabin, the view will take your breath away. The cabin is perfect and you don't want to leave it. Dave is so attentive and makes sure your stay is everything you want it to be. We cannot wait to go back and spend even a longer time!

"stunning views"

Beautiful place with stunning views, very clean and well taken care of. It feels very peaceful and private. We absolutely loved our time here! I'm not sure our car (small, 2 wheel drive) could have handled the last half mile or so if the weather had been bad, but fortunately it was lovely, and ultimately it was well worth it.

"Amazing!"

Dave’s place was amazing! My husband and I rented this cabin for my 30th birthday. Viewtopia is the PERFECT name for this cabin. The views were breathtaking. We sat outside most of the time and soaked in the beautiful mountains. We grilled everyday and really enjoyed the hot tub. The foosball table was also a nice touch! Also fun if you like animals and enjoy deer watching! We had an issue with the air conditioner, reached out to Dave, and he sent someone right away! We were cooled off in less than an hour! Super fast response time on this and all of our other questions and needs. We will definitely will be visiting viewtopia again! Thanks Dave!

"Amazing place!"

Amazing place! Unreal views, super clean, well maintained property and we had everything that we needed during our stay. Definitely coming back!

"Absolutely amazing cabin!"

Absolutely amazing cabin!! A beautiful view and local to many cute small towns. The hill is a little steep up to the cabin at one point, so if you have a smaller car, just make sure you have good tires and you should be fine. 🙂 Dave went above and beyond and helped us so much. Definitely would recommend this cabin for any trip up to northern Georgia!! We will definitely be back.

"Appropriately named."

This stay is appropriately named because the view is amazing. The day we arrived I messaged the host about extending our stay and mostly because of the view. My new wife and I were staying there alone for our honeymoon so the place was grossly too large for us. We never even went downstairs at all. But for a larger family or a group of friends it would be so perfect to be together but have some separation with all the bedrooms on different levels of the home. The kitchen is nicely stocked with all the utensils and pots and pans needed to cook at home, but there sure is some good food in both Blue Ridge and Ellijay. The drive up the mountain is a climb, but our little Corolla did just fine. Internet is slow, but who cares with all those views and all the outdoor things to do in the area. We've already rebooked to come back in the Fall.

"Viewtopia indeed"

Viewtopia indeed. This place is incredible - you won't want to leave. We had some sunny days and some rainy days - both offering uniquely beautiful sights and sounds. The BMT is just beyond the driveway and the scenic mountain drive is a great preview as you roll in. The house itself is super cozy, stocked with everything you'll need for your stay. The large windows and multiple balconies offer 360 degree views that you'll find it hard to pull away from. Our dog loved the property, the trails, and the local neighborhood dog friends. We'll definitely be back in the future.

"Hidden gem"

This place is a hidden gem... highly recommended!!

"Great House, Amazing View, Kind Owner!"

I rented the cabin for my elderly parents for a covid friendly getaway with their dog. They house was great for older folks with a bed/bath/kitchen/deck all on main level, and just a few steps into the house. Owner was aware of the situation and was willing to check in on the power and roads before they arrived when a storm went through the night before they’re arrival. Bonus point for having actual toilet paper you’d use at home for the house and tons of extra kitchen bonuses (spices/aluminum foil)! The only thing I’d mention to potential guests is that the water was a little smelly/off tasting, so bring a few gallons of drinking water with you. We will be back as a family soon I hope!

"Excellent and thoughtful host"

Excellent and thoughtful host. Great communication and the view lived up to its name. Just an amazing experience. Would love a return trip in the future

"Had a blast"

We had a blast at Dave's cabin! Such a beautiful place. The views are amazing! Cabin has a jacuzzi and a nice layout for multiple couples to cook together and lounge around relaxing. Stores are close by 15-20 mins. One of my personal favorite parts was driving up the driveway roads... the girls were scared but after a couple times it was nothing but fun.. You will not be disappointed with this cabin.. we are already planning our next trip back out here. Thanks Dave!

"Loved this place."

We loved this place will definitely be back. Drive to the cabin isn’t bad at all and gps worked perfectly, we used Waze and it brought us right to cabin. Just as pictured, the Benton mackaye trail is near the end of the driveway and Dave answers any questions you may have. Such a beautiful place and excellent host

"Perfection"

This place is actually perfection. While the drive up the mountain is very intimidating, everything is worth it when you turn the corner and see the cabin and the view. Truly our entire group was speechless. The cabin is gorgeous. The view is stunning. Be mindful that the cabin does have a lot of ladybugs everywhere so you just have to be ok with that. This place is worth every penny.

"5 stars"

Great place for a long weekend getaway.

"Perfect name"

Viewtopia is a perfect title to this property. Our family had a wonderful time. The cabin was super clean and welcoming. We are already discussing our next trip!

"Beyond Beautiful"

Beyond beautiful views! We stayed on the porch all day and enjoyed the peace and quiet. I definitely suggest buying groceries to cook your meals and enjoy the view. Also worth waking up early for the sunrise!! We definitely will be making a trip back here!

"Amazing experience"

Viewtopia was an amazing experience all around for us and we could not say enough good things about this cabin. The view is amazing, the location is perfect, and the feel of the cabin is cozy and inviting. The cabin was equipped with everything we needed and more. It’s relatively close to tons of falls and trails and is right down the road from downtown BR. Staying at this cabin was a blast and we definitely plan on coming back.

"Fantastic!"

This cabin is fantastic!! The views are amazing, the couches comfy, and the peacefulness astounding. It’s an easy drive into Blue Ridge, but even better, you can walk to the Benton McKaye trail for a fabulous hike. Even had a neighbor dog guide us for about 2 miles, lol! The hot tub is perfect for star gazing in the cold evening. We’ll be back 🙂

"5 Stars"

Peaceful, quiet, and one of the best parts about it is written right in the name. Very easy to get to, and had absolutely no issue on the gravel road or driveway leading up to the cabin. Get there during the day if you can, because the view that hits you as you approach the cabin itself is one of the best parts about the experience. We were just as impressed by the quality inside as well, and even took some pictures of a few things we'd like to pick up for our own home. I also didn't realize how close the Benton MacKaye Trail was, but a short walk to the end of the driveway basically puts you right on it. Couldn't have been more convenient, and a really nice hike with great views in the winter when the leaves are off the trees. Dave responded very quickly and was always helpful and knowledgeable which helped make our stay that much more enjoyable. Without a doubt, this will be one of our go-to cabin rental destinations moving forward.

"5 Stars"

Incredible view, very clean.

"Gorgeous Views"

This property was very nice and the views were gorgeous. Plenty of room for a large family. This cabin is centrally located between Blue Ridge and Ellijay in Cherry Log. We had a wonderful time!

"Location, Location, Location!"

Location, location, location! The view at Viewtipa is stunning. Everything was superb-from the beautifully decorated cabin, the hot tub in the snow, super comfy furniture, and our pooch hanging with us curled up by the fire. We can’t wait to stay either here again or one of Dave’s other cabins in Blue Ridge and Cherry Log.

"Can't wait to come back"

It’s hard to put this place into words... I just don’t know how it can be beat. The drive up is scary, yes, but doable! With those views there’s no point in ever leaving. Thanks Dave! We can’t wait to come back.

"Absolutely incredible!"

The view was absolutely incredible!

"Memorable White Christmas!"

We had such a memorable Christmas at Viewtopia! The first time you see it and the first sunrise are breathtaking! The drive up the dirt road was a bit scary; I would recommend going a steady 15 mph and don’t stop! Stargazing, the hot tub, sitting on the porch, it was all so serene. The kitchen was very well stocked and we were able to cook meals each day. I definitely recommend this home for some peace and nature! Dave had immediate suggestions and responded always. He was a great host and the property was beautiful!

"Absolute Dream"

This cabin was an absolute dream and the only downside was having to leave. The views were just unreal and the bath tub was **chef's kiss**. I highly recommend stocking up on groceries before driving up so you don't have to leave for a while and make sure to check out the sunrise and sunset from the balcony. Also be prepared for a steep, winding drive on the way up! While it was just the two of us on this trip, this cabin would be great for a family or a group of friends to stay. I hope to return soon!

"Beautiful scenic views from dawn to dusk"

Viewtopia has beautiful scenic views from dawn to dusk. Much thought and attention to detail was taken to make this cabin comfortable, warm and livable. I love the wrap-around deck with the large gate...we left our poodle on the deck, gate closed of course, so he could run around and enjoy the outdoors with fear of loosing him. If you love hiking, hot tubs, the woods, nature, outdoor activities and love coming "home" to a warm, cozy cabin, this is the cabin for you and your family.

"Amazing"

The Cabin was amazing and definitely had amazing views! We are planning our next trip already and hope to stay here again. Also, Dave is a great host and super attentive before, during and after!

"Perfect"

Everything was perfect.Great view. Dave was awesome and helpful for everything we needed.

"Exceptional"

Viewtopia was an amazing experience. Dave has a beautiful cabin and the views were exceptional. The cabin was spotless and had everything we needed and more. It was also a short drive to downtown Blue Ridge and Elijay. The cabin is perfect for anyone looking for a romantic getaway! Dave was a great host and provided great directions and tips for things to do in the area. We will definitely be looking to return!

"6 Star Review!"

I’m sorry there’s not a 6 star review !! We always defer to superhosts when we book and Dave is an mvp. We had snow in the forecast so temps were below freezing and Dave figured this into our stay and it was awesome . I will say that the drive up the mountain was the beginning of our grand adventure and one of the best experiences ever . There are so many useful instructions in the cabin that your questions are answered before you can think of them and that was a plus for sure “viewtopia will see is again !

"Best views of any cabin"

Best view out of any cabin I’ve stayed in, in... period. The cabin itself was new, well kept, beautifully decorated and with every necessity. The awesome bluetooth speakers in the living room sounded great. We used the hot tub both nights and it was wonderful. We played hours of foosball, cooked a couple of fabulous meals and enjoyed the sunsets in the evening. Even better, it was dog friendly and boy did he love it too. It’s awesome that the house is so high on the mountain and that the property borders a national forest. Thanks so much Dave. I’ve never rented the same cabin twice, this place will be an exception

"Just what we needed!! We will be back!!"

The property is wonderful!!

"Great place to stay!"

Beautiful house and mountain views. Great place to stay near Blue Ridge!

"Breathtaking"

We enjoyed a 3 night stay at Viewtopia and it was everything we had hoped for. The road/driveway was very easily accessible, we have a truck (No 4 wheel drive) and the view as you pull into the driveway is breathtaking. The cabin is amazing, and felt like home. You should wake up early and watch the sunrise on one of the 2 balconies! Dave was a great host touching base with us to ensure a great stay. You are 15 minutes away from downtown Blue Ridge, while you are down there, you should check out Blue Ridge Ziplining!

"Excellent property"

Clean, beautiful house and essentially perfect location and view. Well appointed. Everything is exactly as depicted in the listing.

"Can't praise Viewtopia enough"

Can’t praise Viewtopia enough. The photos looked stunning but it was even better in person. With demanding jobs and 3 children, nature is where my husband and I recharge and boy did this place deliver. The whole area is restorative and felt magical. Viewtopia feels like you have the entire mountain to yourself, but an easy drive to town (if that’s your thing). For us, we started each morning with coffee on the balcony, then a hike either onsite (property connects to the BMT) or drove to others, then back to the cabin to relax in the hot tub and grill dinner. Cabin had everything we needed and was super clean. We are already planning to return!

"Loved it"

Loved the location, the space, and the view!

"Exceeded Expectations"

Viewtopia exceeded our expectations. The views were incredible and the place was perfect for a weekend getaway. The host Dave was quick with responses and even made sure we had ESPN for Saturday game day. From coffee on the wrap around porch to soaks in the hot tub, such a perfect relaxing weekend, the pictures do not do it justice.

"One of the Best!"

Viewtopia is one of the best vacation rental properties we have experienced. Our party included two adults, two high school boys, and a dog. We stayed for 12 nights in June-July 2020. Viewtopia has the best views we’ve seen in Georgia or North Carolina - unspoiled and unobstructed. From the main deck, Bushyhead is close by to the left of center. To the extreme left there is an extended view to the area north of Blue Ridge. Straight out, the southeast view is layered with three distinct ridges receding to the horizon. It changes hourly, sometimes minute by minute. We never tired of it. The photos on the listing are great, but they don’t capture it. There are six rocking chairs and a picnic table on the main level deck, plus two chairs on the private deck off the master bedroom. All of us spent time on the decks reading or just watching the view change. We had most meals at the picnic table. There are two hummingbird feeders and they were visited often, even when we were sitting only a few feet away. The house was very comfortable for four people. All the beds were great. Heavy drapes can block out the morning light if necessary. Three full baths were spotless. The main living area has a sofa with ample room for three and a large armchair. There are stereo Bluetooth speakers. The game room on the lower level has a futon sofa and a big TV (great for teens), along with its own full kitchen. The primary kitchen is well stocked. We cooked at “home” more often than we typically would on vacation because of the pandemic. There was plenty of cookware, implements, and serving items. There is a large grill on the deck, which we used several times. A feature not played up in the listing — the deck goes completely around the house and has a single gate that can be securely closed with a latch. We were able to let our dog roam out to the deck and lounge in the sun knowing he would not disappear into the woods! One of our party used the hot tub nearly every day. It has almost the same view as the deck. The house is well managed. Dave provided lots of information before our rental, including turn by turn directions with photos for the last mile. They really go that extra step. This is a well maintained property. Two items that are useful to know. (1) The private access road is gravel (common in this part of Georgia) with one particularly steep section that was difficult to navigate in our rental minivan (with admittedly aging front tires). We wished we rented an SUV. Dave mentioned that they’ve had cars as diverse as a Porsche Panamera and a Prius access the house, and I don’t doubt it. But driving to this house requires more attention than usual. (2) The wireless internet is slow, at well under 1 megabit per second. We relied on our phone hotspots for data. Both Verizon and AT&T wireless had good coverage. This was important to us as my spouse needed to work and the house internet would have been a problem if we did not have good cellular data. This is a house we would recommend to family and friends.

"Spectacular"

Spectacular view, comfortable cabin, perfect wkend getaway. Especially enjoyed watching the hummingbirds on the porch, curling up in front of the gas fireplace, exploring the area with Dave's excellent recommendations.

"Amazing Time in Blue Ridge"

Our family had an amazing time in Blueridge. The house was excellent and had the most amazing view! Dave is a great host. Very responsive and accommodating to all of our needs! Thank you!!!!

"Spectacular"

The views are spectacular and the cabin is very comfortable. Definitely worth the trip!

"Absolutely Spectacular"

My family and I spent 4 nights at Viewtopia and it was absolutely spectacular! The views are even better than we expected! Dave was very informative and whenever we had a question he responded almost immediately. When at the cabin, it feels like you are the only one on the mountain and it is peaceful and picturesque, with hummingbirds always flying around out back. We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more and hope to return.

"Blew my mind"

Wow what can I say this place was amazing. It looks awesome from the pictures but is even more beautiful in person. The amount of thoughtful touches Dave put in place blew my mind. As someone who's stayed in a lot of airbnb's having everything labeled and an actually stocked kitchen was so nice. The view is KILLER! We saw widelife including a black bear all from the back porch where we spent a lot of time. Our dog loved the wrap around patio that locks at the front giving him the freedom to roam and soak it in with us. The beds are comfy the water is hot and you have everything you need to unwind and relax. Games on the patio, grilling out and soaking in the view were out favorite times. We cannot wait to go back. Blue Ridge also seems amazing but we didn't venture out too much because of Covid but if you come make sure to check out the apple farm and the Rum Cake lady! Thanks again Dave!

"Breathtaking"

Breathtaking location! Truly 180+ degree views. Fairly steep road getting up to the house (probably a prerequisite for getting these views). Made me nervous at first but all was well, even in the rain. 4wd would be great but our 2wd SUV was fine. Host has thought of everything, and little things like sugar packets, coffee creamer, and foil make a big difference. It was just two of us in a house that holds 8, but I was nice and cozy. Easy trip into blue ridge with a scenic drive. Highly recommend the Blue Ridge train!

"Absolutely Amazing!"

This property is definitely one of a kind and I was absolutely floored on how amazing it was from the minute we pulled in to the drive way in front of the garage, breathtaking! The property itself is well kept and all of our guests that stayed or came to visit was very impressed. We have stayed at a few cabins in the area over the years, but I think we will stop looking and keep coming back to this one over and over again.

"Even better in person"

The view is even better in person. The place is spacious and has everything you need. Directions were accurate and there are signs with arrows indicating where you should go. Would go back!

"Great"

Things that are great about Viewtopia: View Deck Jacuzzi Dave’s hospitality Trail just down the driveway Recommendations & Things To Know: The Black Sheep restaurant in Blue Ridge: great wine, service and food; especially the lamb chops. Chateau Meichtry Winery Mountain Valley Farms for local meat was recommended to us but we didn’t make it there before they closed.

"We will definitely return!!!"

We still talk about the view from this wonderful home on the mountain!!! The view was definitely the hit and we know, it will be hard to beat somewhere else. Waking up to it, or just enjoying the view while grilling or in the hot-tub was amazing. The home was specious, clean and had a nice flow. The kitchen was very well equipped too. But what really stood out compared to other locations, was how the host was always very responsive giving us good tips and answering all our questions prior and during our stay. We will definitely return!!!

"Incredible!"

This listing was incredible!! It was even better than described. Compared to other cabins we have stayed in this listing had the best view and also the easiest path for reaching it. The road was paved most of the way and even when it wasn't there was enough payment to help get you started up a hill, which is much more than I can say for other cabin we have stayed in. We had so many great mornings and evenings eating meals on the porch looking at the mountains as the sun rose and set. Highly recommend this listing for anyone looking for a quiet, picturesque, and comfortable mountain getaway.

"Truly Beautiful"

Viewtopia is truly beautiful. The view will take your breath away, I had the pleasure of staying there while the moon was full and seeing the moon rise over the mountains is something that I will never forget. The cabin is stocked with everything you need, including flashlights! The deck is entirely enclosed by a gate in front so if you bring a four legged family member they are able to roam on the deck! The beds are comfortable and also have amazing views of the mountains! I hope to come back when Covid is no longer an issue to explore more of the surrounding areas and restaurants etc. Thanks to Dave and the beauty of Viewtopia for a much needed mini vacation!!!

"View is Amazing!"

View is amazing! Cabin is just as described and very clean. Perfect for a quiet family getaway. Dave was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions.

"Truly Outstanding"

Our stay at Viewtopia was truly outstanding, and Dave’s hospitality, communication, and helpfulness was tremendous. The cabin itself is simply gorgeous inside and out. I researched hundreds of cabins in North Georgia, and one thing I loved about Viewtopia was that it not only has a stunning view of the mountains but is also so beautifully landscaped. Many similar cabins are only surrounded by gravel, but Viewtopia had such beautiful landscaping, grass, flower bushes, and scenery around the grounds. We enjoyed sitting in the swing and just relaxing around so much visual beauty. We also loved watching the hummingbirds come to the feeders hanging from the porch... they came often and were very entertaining. The cabin was stocked with all the basics, and we had everything we needed. It was also sparkling clean, and the housekeeper does an amazing job! We hope to return again in the future. It was a memorable vacation time together as a family. I’m not sure any other cabin in North Georgia can top Viewtopia. It is pretty much the complete package! I can not recommend it highly enough.

"All about the View"

It really is all about the view at Viewtopia. As many have said the pictures don't do it justice. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay, Dave was a great communicative host and we're looking to come back soon.

"Wonderful Getaway"

A wonderful getaway for my daughter's birthday. The cabin is easy to find, comfortable, and there is plenty of beauty to enjoy. All the rental steps were easy and the owner was friendly and accommodating when I had to make a last minute changes to my guest list. We all had a wonderful time and took advantage of the adventures nearby such as rafting the Ocoee and going to the swinging bridge at the Toccoa river. Highly recommend this property.

"10 Stars"

We would truly give 10 stars if we could. This far exceeded our expectations. Even in rain and fog at times, the views were still amazing. Such a perfect secluded mountain cabin, and we can’t wait to revisit.

"Loved our stay!"

We loved our stay here! The view really is amazing and it is very secluded. Dave was very helpful and responded quick. Be prepared to cook or drive a little for restaurants. We would love to come back and sit on the porch.

"Best ever"

This property is, by far, the best mountain rental we have ever stayed in! The house is designed, constructed and maintained very well. All of the three levels have magnificent views, and the grounds are beautiful, which is a first for us. We wished there were televisions in the bedrooms but that was a small deal in the grand scope of things. Fantastic time for all!

"Truly Excellent!"

Truly excellent! The pictures don’t do it justice - the views are breathtaking and Dave’s home is lovely. Everything was clean and easy to navigate. We will definitely be coming back.

"Great stay"

We had a great stay at Viewtopia. The views were stunning and the pictures don’t do it justice. Dave was a great host and very responsive!

"Breathtaking"

Breathtaking view!!!

"Hands down the Best Views!"

The views are hands down the best in the area. Dave was a fast communicator and eager to lend tips and local recommendations. The cabin is clean and cared for. As beautiful as Blue Ridge and the surrounding areas are, we found ourselves eager to get back to Viewtopia. Thanks for a memorable stay, Dave!

"Amazing View"

Amazing View. You will really love it! This home is private and secluded. It is a great spot for a quiet and relaxing getaway.

"Beautiful Home with Stunning Sights!"

Viewtopia definitely lives up to the name! Beautiful home with stunning sights. Unfortunately it rained most of our stay, but the little we did get to enjoy from the view was great. Dave the host is very helpful and easy to communicate with.

"Couldn't ask for better"

Couldn’t of asked for a better host or cabin to stay at. We had a blast and would highly recommend to anybody.

"Spectacular Views!"

Spectacular views!! Dave’s cabin is not only spacious, comfortable & clean but I really cannot imagine finding a cabin with such beautiful views!! We were very impressed!! My husband, our son and I had a very relaxing, wonderful time.

"Best getaway Ever!"

This cabin is everything you could want. Ive stayed at many cabins in the past but this was my favorite! The view is amazing for every side of the cabin. There is very comfortable couches and beds and everything was very clean! The hot tub view was something to behold as well. I brought my pups with me and that was definitely a perk. They felt right at home. This place is definitely kept up and taken care of. I had no issues the entire trip and the manager made sure to send a message offering any kind of assistance if need be. The gas fireplace was amazing...push to start and you're night just got a little more cozy. I hope to rent this place again in the future. Thanks David!

"Most Amazing Trip Ever!"

My sister and I stayed at Viewtopia for 3 nights. It was the most amazing trip we have ever taken. First time seeing mountains let alone driving on them. The views are everything. Waking up in the morning to the crisp mountain views, walking out on the deck and having a cup of coffee. I cant wait to come back.

"Stunning"

You can expect a clean and cozy cabin with absolutely stunning mountain scenery. The cabin is a great size and can easily accommodate 6 people. Loved the style and touches throughout the cabin and Dave made it super easy to find the cabin and inform us of things to do in the area. The only negative thing I would have to say is bring your own coffee (there were filters) and cooking oil. Everything else was fantastic!

"Better than the Pictures!"

The view is better than the pictures can convey! It was a great place for me and my two coworkers who needed a quick getaway from our stressful work life. We all had our own room and bathroom which made things easier and the cabin provided a few games and foosball (which I’ve learned can get intense lol). Downtown blue ridge isn’t too far, which is the most charming little area with some great local shops. It is a pretty steep drive up the mountain but we were able to make it in a tiny little Honda Fit without any issues. I do think that next time we’ll rent a 4wd vehicle just to be on the safe side.

"Amazing"

If you're looking for a place in the mountains look no further than Viewtopia! The cabin was amazing and every room exceeded our expectations (big comfy beds, nice towels, clean). The views are truly incredible and we loved cooking in the well-appointed kitchen. My friends and I are already talking about returning next year. Dave was a great host and was very accommodating of all of our requests.

"One of the best, unbelievable views"

We go to Blue Ridge frequently and this is one of the best places we have stayed. The views are unbelievable.

"STUNNING"

The cabin is beautiful and very clean. It is very private and perfect if you just want to relax in a quiet space. The beds are super comfortable and cozy. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the equipment you could need. The furniture was nice and comfortable. The hot tub was very clean and worked well. The bedrooms are on different floors, so if you come with a group everyone can have their own space. The porches are a great place to sit and enjoy the view. We were there over New Years and were able to see fireworks in the distance. The views are STUNNING. You really couldn't ask for more. While the cabin is well worth it, if you are an inexperienced mountain driver or an anxious driver in general be aware that the drive is steep and twisty partially on a gravel road. We were fine in our all wheel drive vehicle.

"Spectacular!"

Great property. Great location. The view is spectacular!! Would stay there again and highly recommend.

"Exactly like the description"

Dave was awesome!! The place was beautiful. Exactly like the description. Couldn’t have asked for a better trip.

"Great Views and Wonderful Cabin!"

Great views and wonderful cabin; everything you could need to move in and stay for days without leaving! Definitely want a four wheel drive car or a good sense of adventure to drive the last quarter mile on the curves and steep incline but it’s the trade off for amazing views and the road is mostly paved, adding some confidence to the drive!

"Everything advertised, and more"

Viewtopia is everything it says it is. Close to Blue Ridge and Ellijay. Dave was a perfect host. We will definitely be back again. Kristen Allen

"Great Place to Escape!"

Great place to escape away from civilization without leaving the comfort of a well equipped cabin, highly recommended not only the place and the cabin but Dave the host who was awesome with his attention to detail and with fast and clear communication.

"Pictures don't do it justice!"

The pictures don’t do this cabin justice. Love the personal touches like the wine and bag of goodies as a welcoming gift. Dave was very responsive. Me and my family were in awe of how beautiful and how welcoming this cabin was. Will definitely be staying here again!!!!!

"Stop Looking"

Stop looking for a better view than this! You have found the best view for sunsets, moonrises and everything in between! Linens are nice and beds are comfy so you will also rest well here. The whole place is very private and quiet and it’s really just you, the birds and the bears (which we didn’t see but saw evidence of) at the top of the mountain! If you enjoy taking photos, you will find endless photo ops here. We also enjoyed being in the treetops with the birds for watching their behavior at higher elevations. Buy some groceries and settle in because you probably won’t want to leave for morning coffee and breakfast as the sunrises were spectacular. We cooked meals easily in the kitchen as it was well appointed and the appliances were nicer than what we have at home. Our favorite spot was the living/dining/kitchen room on the main floor in front of the fireplace and mantle. Loved the remote controlled fireplace and candles. We also had a fun movie night downstairs and enjoyed playing foosball. The view from the loft bedroom is the highest in the house and unique, but there is no bad view from any bedroom here. Even the upstairs bathrooms have a pretty view. It was just me, my husband and our dog this trip, but there was plenty of space for a larger group to spread out and not be in each other’s way outside or inside. We didn’t get to use the brand new hot tub (which looked so nice) due to a bear destroying the cover before we arrived and a plumbing leak prevented us from using the 3rd floor jetted tub, but don’t let those things dissuade you from staying here as everything else is perfect and based on how hospitable and seriously Dave takes his job as host, I’m sure these issues are already resolved. There is also a great cabin info book with tips on attractions and the history of the area that I found interesting during our stay.

"Viewtopia is Amazing!"

Viewtopia is amazing! The view is incomparable and the house is amazing. It had everything we needed and Dave was super communicative! Great experience!
