Had a great time at Higher Ground Thanksgiving week. The cabin is beautiful and so tastefully decorated. There was a gorgeous Christmas tree in the living room. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, fire pit, pool table and fireplaces. We made great memories! Host was so responsive. Just a great experience!!! Highly recommend this cabin!

Great spot

The house was beautiful and all the pictures were exactly what we got. The bedrooms were all perfect for our group. My only complaint was that the house needed a good clean. Since we choose not to leave the house much, I just wanted a little more detail to the clean.

Amazing Mountain House

We had an awesome stay at Higher Ground. The house itself was amazing; indoor pool, hot tub, fire pit, etc. The communication and service from the hosts was also spectacular. Very close to Ellijay too!

Great getaway, beautiful house!

This was a great house for our yearly friend’s Christmas getaway! The kitchen was extremely well equipped for all our cooking needs. The house itself is beautiful. We did have an issue with one of the indoor fireplaces, management was very attentive and it was fixed temporarily but then went out again, which was a bit of a letdown. There was plenty of room for our group of 9 adults, with everyone having their own bathroom, which was great. The neighborhood is quiet, hiking trail across the road was fun. We did have an issue with next door neighbor leaving their outside lights on ALL night. The master bedroom only has partial window coverings, so the upper windows allowed in all that light. The bunk bed room has no window coverings whatsoever which we felt was a bit odd. The house was in a great location.

40th Birthday Girls Getaway

I chose this property as we have stayed here previously for a Bachelor party weekend. It was my girlfriend's 40th Birthday and we booked this weekend with 12 of her friends from different time periods of her life. This house accommodated all 14 of us very nicely. Enough room for everyone. Indoor pool was nice for rainy days, and the hot tub for cooler nights. Safe to say the outdoor fire place seating area was everyone's favorite place to be. Will definitely keep Higher Ground in mind for future trips!
