About this property

Jewel of the Woods - Magnificent Views from an Incredible Lodge!

** JEWEL OF THE WOODS Under New Ownership! **

Stay close to Clayton, Dillard, Mountain City, Rabun Gap and Highlands in this magnificent lodge with five bedrooms (four suites), and 4.5 bathrooms. This property is the right place to entertain up to 12 people, a family, or a grand destination for a couple looking for some R&R! You are close to hiking, rafting, canoeing, fishing and hunting, or just enjoying the mountains.

Need inspiration to work? Look no further! Magnificent unobstructed mountain views with your own blueberry field in the back, this property has close to seven acres of land surrounding it. A working fireplace completes the ambience.

Grill or smoke your favorite meats on the Green Egg with unforgettable views on a covered patio over 900 square feet in size.

Chef's kitchen with a gas stove and three ovens provide plenty of space to cook for a large crowd. A washer and dryer, and two hot water tanks (so you have PLENTY of hot water) will make this luxurious retreat feel like your home away from home. The kitchen is well-equipped with cookware and dining ware and has a full range of options for making coffee, along with an Insta-Pot and waffle iron.

You are in a for a treat with a Tempurpedic mattress in the main bedroom suite, complete with a view of the mountains.

Internet access allows for streaming videos, and for smooth Zoom calls.

Pets allowed with non-refundable $200 fee per animal.

**IMPORTANT** The road leading to the property is a private, winding and narrow gravel road with low tree cover in many places. It is not suited for low or large RVs, or certain sports cars. I have driven several cars to the property as I fly to Atlanta and rent a car to get to the property. The lowest car I have driven was a Kia Rio without issue. However, certain guests have reported challenges driving a low car. Remember - these are rugged, mountainous and wooded areas!

You may encounter wildlife on the property or on the roads. Please drive carefully and safely on all roads leading to Jewel of the Woods.

Loud music and excessive noise is strictly forbidden.

This five-bedroom house provides accommodations with laundry, kitchen, and air conditioning for your convenience. It features many amenities for guests who want to stay for a few days, a weekend or probably a longer vacation with family, friends or group. The house is near many of north Georgia's iconic mountain locations, while also convenient to airports in Atlanta, Asheville, NC and Greenville, SC.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Jewel of the Woods!
