Description Description
If you dream of a perfect ‘cottagey’ home nestled privately among the hardwoods, peeking out over spectacular North Georgia mountain views, then this is the cabin for you.  Once you arrive, this cabin, which sits on 2-1/2 acres, will actually rise “Above Expectations” to fulfill your most charming mountain getaway experience.  Even the drive to Above Expectations’ peaceful and secluded setting is idyllic, winding along and meandering by scenic pastures and old farm houses with weathered log fences.

Relax and reconnect with some of your closest friends or your family in this three-bedroom home featuring a red tin roof and welcoming front porch.  The photography enthusiast will appreciate this cabin as it is also intimately connected to nature and offers three wonderful private decks to soak in the views.  Romantic moments or family reminiscing are just a few sways away as several rocking chairs grace the outdoor areas.

Inside, this sweet home is unexpectedly high-end with friendly decor and a plush leather sectional in front of a cozy rock fireplace.  Just steps away is a dining table for eight and an open kitchen for everyone to enjoy while preparing meals.  Above Expectations is stocked with plenty of dishes and cookware and even offers a convenient kitchen breakfast bar.

Movies, games and Wii fun abound in the terrace level and this is the only cabin in our collection that offers a bumper pool table.  Try your hand and poker face at the combination card and poker table on a soothing rainy day.  The accommodations include choice of three bedrooms featuring either a king size bed in the upstairs master bedroom with a private bath and balcony to enjoy, a main floor bedroom offering a queen size bed and adjoining bathroom or the terrace level bedroom offering two twins.

The best of the Blue Ridge area is just outside the door so you can start enjoying this cabin’s gorgeous property leading to a day of wonderful mountain exploration.  Begin your evening with a soak in the hot tub or gather around the fire pit for a good old fashioned marshmallow roast.  End your day with stargazing and a toast to the realization of a mountain cabin experience that has risen above your expectations.

The size and amenities were incredible. So nice to see a home taken care of and everything working.
Randall S - 8/11/2024
We lucked out with amazing weather, so that we were out & about every day of our trip, but the cabin felt like we could have just stayed in & enjoyed ourselves as well. Property was great, we enjoyed the hot tub & the fireplace as well as the fire pit outside. The boys set out some bags outside & played a lot of games! This was a wonderful escape from dreary/cold Wisconsin. The drive in was beautiful, the cabin was ready to go, easy to just unpack & start the vacation. Loved being away from the noise & it was just so peaceful & calm.
Teresa H - 4/1/2023
The cabin was very very clean. The furniture was in very good shape and well kept. We loved the location and the view.
Joseph H - 3/19/2023
Well appointed home with everything we needed including kitchen utensils, linens, etc.
Elizabeth H - 11/30/2022
The hot tub was spacious and private. The cabin location is pretty private with nice views from upstairs. There's lots of room in cabin, it was clean and toiletries provided, the grill was in great condition, the gift provided was nice, and recommendations for hikes were nice too. We also enjoyed the fire TV. We love the company's organized site, lots of options, and discount offered to returning customers.
Beliza H - 9/26/2022
We enjoyed how clean the home is. The view from upstairs bedroom is amazing. We also loved the oversized porch swing upstairs
Ingrid H - 9/5/2022

Beautiful scenery and peaceful serenity!
Debra H - 11/28/2021
Nice furnishings, very nice lot. Nice floorplan!
Joan H - 10/6/2021
Very secluded and quiet. Nicely furnished. In past visits, we had cabins in Blue Ridge. We liked the location of Morganton for accessibility to other towns. We really enjoyed the tin roof when it rained.
David H - 9/26/2021
The view, the amenities, the surrounding area and things to do. The cabin provided a great area for us to all hang out and socialize.
Maegan H - 7/23/2021

Cozy and spacious all at the same time.
April H - 11/5/2020
We celebrated Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and a family elopement... and the kitchen was fantastic for all that cooking. Loved the view as well as that it was so cozy. It was about midway driving distance for our far-flung family, and in this era of social distancing, it was a fantastic option.
Danielle H - 11/1/2020
Spacious with a great view.
William H - 10/3/2020
Excellent location!
Robin H - 8/30/2020
We love the view. We love that it is quaint yet modern and convenient. We love the location relative to grocery shopping and activities in and around Blue Ridge.
Jason H - 8/3/2020
The deck, the decor. The cabin is gorgeous.
Rhonda H - 7/28/2020
It was comfortable and well equipped. Quiet area and somewhat central to a lot of the amenities in the region. Really enjoyed sitting on the porch of the master bedroom - beautiful and relaxing view. The red male cardinal that came to visit all day and fell in love with the mirrors in our car was a definite plus. We (especially granddaughters) enjoyed watching him everyday!!
Belen C. H - 7/24/2020
This was a beautiful cabin with very nice appointments and well stocked. There were only the two of us, but thought it was an excellent place for families.
Deborah H - 7/18/2020
Everything was wonderful, that's why ya'll are a 10
Jerri H - 6/20/2020
So well equipped with kitchen needs and entertainment. House is beautifully decorated and the view is amazing. Our family truly enjoyed staying here and will try and look forward to staying again. Truly enjoyed our stay at Above Expectations!!!!.
Dolores H - 1/5/2020
Very clean cabin; pet friendly; loved the fire pit kitchen well equipped
Susan H - 10/14/2019
The Cabin was extremely clean. Furnishings was so nice. We've stayed at several cabins in Blue Ridge but none with all the little extra's (Goodies with cooler),that were provided by Escape to Blue Ridge. I can't tell you enough how much we appreciate your company. We had took a wrong turn and was stuck in the clay. Called the company and Felicia came out to help us. She went so far out of the way to help us. She called the maintenance man to pull us out many thanks to him also!!!! My handicapped mom was really upset and tired. Felicia even helped me get my mom in the cabin and make sure we were settled. God Bless everyone at Escape to Blue Ridge for making it a wonderful experience for my mom and our family. Thanks so much!
