Our little slice of heaven, Cherry Log Mountain Retreat, is on top of a mountain in quaint little Cherry Log, GA. Situated halfway between the other lovely mountain towns of Blue Ridge and Ellijay, Cherry Log is just an hour and 15 minutes north of Atlanta, yet a world away.

Every season here holds something special for the visitor: rejuvenating spring with its dogwood, mountain laurel, and rhododendron; the greenery of summer, which can be either lazy or active—your choice; glorious autumn with its magnificent array of colors; winter, with the coziness of a wood fire and, yes, we do get snow!

Cherry Log Mountain Retreat has the distinction of having completely paved access—all the way to the top of the mountain and up the driveway to the door of the cabin!

Another unique feature is that we have DSL, we have a wireless router for your laptop, and—ta! da!—we even have a desktop in one of the bedrooms in case you don’t want to lug your laptop here!

Of course, we have a wood-burning fireplace, but we provide all your wood free!

Of course, we have a front porch, but we have both rockers and swing!

Of course, we have a gas grill, but we leave a spare tank of gas!

Of course, we have a 6-person hot tub on the bottom deck, but we installed romantic rope lighting leading down to and around it, and it’s drained and sanitized between all bookings!

Of course, we have a fully stocked kitchen, but we also have a washer, a dryer, and a dehumidifier!

See lots of other features and extra touches in the CABIN RENTAL AMENITIES section.

We also have a direct oceanfront home in a small, gated complex in St. Augustine, FL.

Our cabin rented originally for $130 a night, but because everyone’s feeling the economic pinch, we’ve reduced our rate to just $99 a night for 2010!!  We’re not going to fiddle around with specials and free nights—we’re just going to offer a rock-bottom price on every day, all year.
