The Summit is ideally located in the heart of the Aska Adventure area in Blue Ridge, GA. Specifically, The Summit is 1/2 mile away from the tubing/float drop in and gem mining; 1/4 mile away from the Toccoa River & Toccoa River Restaurant, in close proximity to hiking trail heads in either direction, yet very close to the Lake Blue Ridge Marina and downtown Blue Ridge.

Inspired by Southeast Asian travels, The Summit was designed with rustic elegance and as well as a focus on lodge quality comfort. The Summit uniquely offers 4 king master suites- each has a comfortable king bed, access to a separate full bathroom as well as the outdoors without entering the common area.

The Summit stands at the top of Bill's Ridge at an elevation of 2,365 ft., one of the highest elevations in Fannin County. It's easy to find though, as paved roads lead you all the way to the base of the mountain and continue about half of the way up the mountain. A few short minutes later, the road to the top of the mountain literally ends at this private and luxurious cabin. To add to the privacy, this mountain community is accessed by a coded gate entry and the back of the cabin and property actually adjoins the national forest. It's not hard to see why deer frequently meander through the property and are easily spotted from the deck around sunrise and sunset.

The cabin itself is constructed of hand hewn pine but the windows of this structure dominate as it boasts an enormous two story front gable and two gables on either side giving the living area and kitchen an abundance of light and awe inspiring views of the natural setting outside. A ten foot wrap around covered deck as well as an uncovered patio area allows for great enjoyment of the surroundings. Two fire places, one located on the outside deck, add to the over all warmth and charm. In addition, the deck includes two tables that both seat four comfortably for al fresco dining making it convenient to enjoy your favorite meal while enjoying the beautiful sunset. Breathtaking views as the sun sets over the mountains in the distance add to a wonderful dining experience. The cabin also boasts exquisitely hand carved teak furniture imported from Indonesia (including all of the bedroom furniture) and coupled with the hand scraped hard wood floors add to the rich feel and atmosphere of refined rustic flair. The cabin has four bedrooms which all include king beds, a high definition flat screen television, access to a separate, private bathroom with shower and/or tub and also access to the outdoors without going into the common areas to allow maximum privacy for each guest. The master bedroom has a separate shower and jetted Jacuzzi tub as well as it's own private and very spacious West facing veranda, a perfect place to enjoy the beautiful sunsets. In addition, each bathroom has been carefully styled with it's own blend of natural travertine stone which adds to the rustic feel of the cabin. The recreation room downstairs includes plush carpeting, thirteen foot ceilings, enormous transom windows, a championship billiard table along with a ping pong conversion set, television as well as a full wet bar with refrigerator and dishwasher. A six person fully jetted hot tub is located off of the recreation room outside and has gorgeous views of the surroundings. A 43' LG flat screen with center voice speaker in the great room allows you to enjoy your favorite movies and sports while on your vacation.

Most importantly, the location of The Summit is unsurpassed for all of your vacation needs. It can be reached by a short drive from the town of Blue Ridge down Aska Rd which is one of the most beautiful drives in the Blue Ridge area, or by Rock Creek and Stanley Creek Rd. which winds through a canopy of forest as it makes it's way through the Rich Mountain Wildlife Preserve. Excellent hiking and trail heads are 3 miles in either direction down Aska or Stanley Creek Rd., with a beautiful waterfall easily accessible from the Stanley Creek Rd. trail head. The entrance to the mountain where The Summit is located is within walking distance of the Toccoa River where an abundance of trout fishing and rafting are available. It's location is also less than 1/4 mile to the Toccoa Riverside restaurant which sits along side the river with great views of the rushing waters below, and specializes in freshly caught trout. Another 1/4 mile down from the restaurant is the Toccoa Wilderness Outpost which offers rafting gear, grocery supplies, as well as a full breakfast menu each morning and home made barbecue for lunch. Just on the other side of the river is beautiful Lake Blue Ridge. The lake can be accessed by boat launch 5 1/2 miles down Aska Rd or by driving another few miles to the marina. Pontoon boats and jet ski rentals are available by the day or half day. In addition, less than an hour away, the Ocoee River with class 3, 4, & 5 rapids offers some of the best adventure rafting and kayaking in the region. If adventure isn't on the agenda for the day, the charming town of Blue Ridge offers a beautiful setting to take in it's quaint shops and cafes and it is also the departure location for the famous Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. This cabin has a unique blend of refinement and unquestionable rustic charm which is complimented by it's one of a kind settings. It is our hope that this combination allows you to better feel the distinctive beauty as well as the rugged wilderness that are both hallmarks of the North Georgia Mountains and serve as the perfect site for this unparalleled get away that we call The Summit.

Perfect for friends weekend cabin getaway.
This house was perfect for our annual friends - 4 couples cabin & hiking weekend. Having 4 bedrooms with 4 kings beds was biggest plus. this cabin had all the amenities and was well equipped. Loved the outdoor and indoor fireplaces. The table and living space was a bit snug for 8 but we made it work. Would definitely recommend and plan to come back when in Blue Ridge.

Weekend Getaway
The cabin was very nice and clean. The owners were very professional and they stayed in contact with me throughout my stay to make sure everything was okay and they also notified us of a few changes that had been made. We would definitely book with them again. The only other thing that you should know is that the cabin is located at the very top of the mountain and there is a very sharp curve and hill right before u pull in the driveway so be careful bc you will spin your tires especially if it has been raining, but aside from that we definitely enjoyed the cabin.

Peaceful Christmas Retreat
Serenity at the Summit is appropriately named as our family had a peaceful and relaxing week during Christmas. The younger adults in our group had plenty to do and the elders had time to unwind and read by the fire or watch movies. This retreat is a little tough to drive up to but well worth it. Beautiful views all around. Owners were kind, patient, and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend.

Nice Cabin!!
Our party consisted of four couples, so having four bathrooms was great. The cleaner could have done a better job. We found empty water bottles on the couch and a better job dusting. With that being said, we would stay again. The host were very responsive. The view was phenomenal. We had a great time!!

Very Enjoyable Family Weekend
Party of 7 adults. We enjoyed the big porches and the gas fire places were amazing! Four bedrooms with their own baths were exactly what we needed. The living area accommodated lots of card playing and conversation. Great for a quiet getaway!

Why they chose this property

The Summit was designed and built with high end finishes. It is one of the only properties that offers four king master suites- meaning not only that each bedroom has its own comfortable king bed and access to a separate bathroom, but also offers access to the outdoors- giving everyone access to the beautiful outdoors without requiring entry into the common space. It is also ideally located in the ideal Aska Adventure corridor which provides our guests with convenience to the tubing/float rental (1/2 mile away); hiking trail heads in each direction, Lake Blue Ridge marina, the Toccoa River Restaurant (1/4 mile), downtown Blue Ridge, etc.

What makes this property unique

The building of The Summit was inspired by our trips to Southeast Asia. The wrap around deck, the raised ceilings and the bounty of views to the outdoors from wherever you sit are reminiscent of our experiences throughout Burma, Cambodia, Thailand and Laos. In addition, the cabin is equipped with classy, elegant furnishings handcrafted in and imported from Indonesia.
