Experience bliss at our pet-friendly retreat with million-dollar mountain views, hot tub, fire-table, gas grill, WiFi, and unparalleled tranquility -STAR

Take a getaway to the breathtaking beauty of the North Georgia mountains with a stay at The Stargazer, a true one-bedroom cabin rental perched on the second highest privately owned peak in Georgia. With unparalleled views of the surrounding mountains from every room, this pet-friendly retreat offers the perfect setting for a romantic getaway or a memorable mountain adventure.

As you step inside The Stargazer, you will be greeted by oversized windows that frame the stunning mountain vista, creating a sense of tranquility and awe. Relax in front of the true wood-burning fireplace with your loved one and enjoy cozy evenings watching old movies or sharing a bottle of wine.

The kitchen, equipped with sleek black appliances and warm wood cabinets, provides an elegant space for whipping up a meal or hiring a private chef to do the cooking for you. Dine indoors or out, both with breath-taking views of the North Georgia Mountains. After dinner, unwind on the deck or soak in the hot tub and marvel at the hawks soaring over the valley below as you welcome the evening moon.

For some friendly competition, head down the spiral staircase to the game room, where you'll find a big screen TV, foosball table, darts game, and a comfy couch. Whether you're playing games or catching up on work, this quiet retreat offers the perfect space for relaxation and entertainment.

After a day of hiking the trails in Ellijay and Blue Ridge, retreat to the cozy bedroom with a king-sized bed and private bath. With tall ceilings, classic mountain décor, and a decorative fireplace, it's the perfect retreat for a restful night's sleep.

* King on Main with private bath

Wake up to the bright morning sun and start your day with a dip in the hot tub, overlooking the incredible mountain view. Keep your eyes peeled for deer or black bears making their way through the mountainside as you enjoy the cool mountain air.

Outside, the outdoor area features an outdoor fire table, gas grill, and seating for enjoying a delicious meal surrounded by the beauty of nature. Pull up a rocker, relax with a good book, and gaze at the twinkling stars lighting up the night sky.

Conveniently located just 15 minutes from both Ellijay and Blue Ridge, The Stargazer offers easy access to dining, shopping, and hiking trails, allowing you to explore the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains at your leisure. Whether you're seeking relaxation or adventure, a stay at The Stargazer promises an unforgettable experience in the heart of North Georgia.

A charming little cabin with a fantastic view. My husband and I were quite delighted with the rest and relaxation that it provided, and the drive up from the road is most fun adventurous, even if it did cause my ears to pop lol.We would love to plan a return visit.

Amazing View

Our stay at Stargazer was very relaxing, just what my husband and I needed. The view was nothing short of AMAZING!!!! Definitely GOD's beauty!!!! However, the cabin could use a little TLC. Inside needs a good deep cleaning, (cobwebs, dust in corners, and furniture either needs replacing or shampooing). The bed was a lot firmer than most people like (HARD). There were several places outside around the cabin that needs some attention. The deck has some boards that need attention. A lot of this stuff is just your normal TLC that has to been done with a house.

The cabin was clean and everything we hoped for. The view was awesome. The area is fantastic. Our mid size car made it up the mountain with no problem. Our little Yorkie was right at home there with us.

3 nite getaway @ Stargazer

We had a great 3 night stay in the cabin. Saw some awesome sunrises and great Mountain View’s. The gravel road is more suited for an suv or light truck and not mama’s Lexus. Stay here and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Amazing views!! Disappointing Accommodations!

The location and the view were amazing! Truly breathtaking! With that said, the cabin was run down and dirty. The gate was broken. The rocker on the deck broke when we sat in it. The kitchen was ill equipped for cooking. There wasn't even a spatula to flip eggs. The cabin was very dirty. Surfaces were clean, but corners and windows were thick with dust. Cobwebs were on the windows, hanging light fixtures and walls. The bed was incredibly hard. It was hard to sleep and there were bugs in the bed. Lots of bites!! We left after only two days and didn't finish out stay.

Only here for the views

Overall 3.5 out of 5 stars. Amazing views but the cabin itself was average. My biggest issue was the listing describes "luxuriously appointed with lots of extras" but it is not luxury - just your typical. Yes, it's a rough ride up the road but welcome to the mountains... put your vehicle in first gear and drive slow. Inside the cabin, a few upgrades here and there like a smart TV and garbage disposal could go a long way in my opinion. I appreciate the pet-friendly aspect and the quiet tranquility. All in all, I only picked this place for the view and it was exactly what I needed.

Had an amazing time at the Stargazer cabin. Rough & steep road heading up, but well worth it for the view! We always travel with our pets & I really appreciated the enclosed deck with the built in gate so our dogs could enjoy being outside with us! Also the cabin had dog bowls & a very comfy dog bed!

Great place to relax and unwind. Very nice property with great communication from the host. Luckily I drive a 4X4 because one is needed to get to the property. It’s a fun drive in the right vehicle. Also, bring your own firewood, wood provided does not burn. It’s weird but true. I highly recommend the property if you are looking for peace and quiet!

Great view from the deck - had a mouse run across the floor from the dishwasher to the stove - road was very bad...had to rent a 4x4 to get to cabin - did not mention it was that steep. Description of the road was not accurate. Shower was too dark to see good.

Beautiful view

There is a beautiful view from the deck with a hot tub. The bed was very comfortable and we cooked every night. The ride up the mountain is very steep and very bumpy. I think that you need to drive a 4 wheel drive suv for the climb. It would b very hard to go back down the mountain to eat dinner out as I would not want to make the climb back at night

Had an amazing weekend getaway. The drive up to the cabin is a lil steep and bumpy but well worth it! Enjoyed the hot tub and stargazing every night. I didn’t dock stars but it is good to be aware there are an occasional daddy long leg in the bathroom and a mouse that found our dog food. The cabin is smack dab in the middle of the woods so it is expected a few get thru! If you’re not a fan of critters tho I’d find something more urban! Overall a wonderful stay and I highly recommend it!!!

Great Cabin

We had a great stay at the Stargazer for my wife's birthday. We were able to bring our puppy and she seemed to have a blast as well. The deck is enclosed with a gate making it easy to hang out outside with her off leash. The property manager was extremely helpful and suggested a nice hike with waterfalls for us to visit and was always prompt in responding. After the falls we made a quick visit to a dog friendly brewery in downtown blue ridge, which was nice as we didn't want to leave her at alone. This would be a five star review, but the batteries in the TV remote did not work and there were a lot of dead ladybugs near the lamp on the bedroom dresser. Don't let this detract you from considering the stargazer as everything else was in great condition and clean. Some of the reviews mentioned the gravel steep path up to the house, but it was no problem for our little Hyundai Accent (even in the rain). We will definitely consider visiting again.

Fantastic view. Several excellent amenities such as hot tub, fire pit, and gas grill.

Hat tip to managment company for allowing us to check in a few hours early while we tried to escape Hurricane Michael. Much appreciated! Getting up the mountain was a bit of a challenge but once there the view is absolutely stunning. Really enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor fire pit. Although provided note in kitchen advertised first morning coffee on them, none was provided. If you want ANYTHING consumable for the kitchen, except salt and pepper, bring your own: ketchup, mustard, tea, coffee, mayo, peanut butter, etc. Also bring, toilet tissue, hand soap, and dish washing soap. Soap provided was small bottle of heavily watered down dish soap. Several little notes and signs throughout threatening fines for uses/misuses was off-putting: smoking $350, fireplace $100, thermostat $???, frankly I stopped reading them. Guess the owners had some negative past experiences. This is the mountains and not Disney World so wildlife is for real. Be prepared to deal with roaming bears and aggressive yellow jacket bees. (Got stung by one.) We stayed prior to fall leaf changes but that would be spactacular, I am sure, and would be an ideal time to visit. All-in-all a pleasant stay in a well maintained facility.

Somewhat disappointed in cabin

I have hesitated to give a response because I do not like to be somewhat negative. Yes, we enjoyed the beautiful view from the deck but was somewhat disappointed in the cabin. It is a ways up a very curvy, narrow road, but we adjusted to that. I will just get straight to my feeling on the cabin. There is a leak under the kitchen sink that needs fixing. A dirty rag was left in the kitchen sink. The cabin was surface clean but needs a deep cleaning. Since we stayed 6 nights I needed to make some adjustments like where will I put my hair products and makeup. The bathroom has no vanity. I used the narrow table in the bedroom that had a mirror above it. Not much space nor light but I adjusted. Clean pillows on sofa would have been nice. More kitchen counter space would have been nice. We needed a regular size coffee pot. The king size bed had two regular size pillows. I went out and got two pillow cases for two extra pillows I found in closet. This made pillows all across the bed. The basement was only used for washing and drying clothes. The basement TV must play the same channel as the upstairs so I saw no use for using it. The picture upstairs had one clear channel; therefore nothing else to choice from. We were out of water for a while but it soon was running again with very rusty water. This cleared up in a few days. I would say clean the artifical flowers around or toss them out. The vent under the black kitchen cabinet really needs a cleaning. I realize this is a rural and rustic cabin made for two, but I guess I was expecting a little more modern conveniences. For a couple staying a few days then it may well be the cabin they want. It does have an awesome view. Some things cannot be changed and we realized that, but also we expected a few things better for a more enjoyable stay.I have tried to give my honest experience.

Amazing view!

We had a great time at this cabin. It was clean and had all the amenities one could ask for. Everything was working. It was very cozy and relaxing. We used it as out hub to go in mountain biking trips. I would score my stay a 5 if it had not been for the steep and rocky gravel road we had to use to drive up to the cabin. We were glad to had gone in the pick up truck and not in the regular car. Out regular car would not have made it up there.
