Dreams really do come true at Mountain Waters Lodge! This is a custom built home, first time on a rental program. The home was built before restrictions were implemented that now prevent from building so close to the water. Backing up to 100,000 acres of Wildlife Management, your back yard is a paradise to behold! You are steps from hiking trails (Bear Creek & Pinhoti) where hikers and bikers alike, come back time and time again because of the beauty and the abundant nature in this area.

This 4,000+ Sq.Ft. home provides the perfect retreat for families, friends and leadership groups needing to find a place that provides serenity, beauty and relaxation. The huge Great Room boasts a 17' ceiling with a masonry wood burning fireplace, ceiling to floor windows and a 65" ROKU Smart TV. There is even a piano for those with the talent to play. Reclining furniture allows for a relaxing experience while watching a great movie with a big bowl of popcorn. Upstairs, you'll find another living room with seating and a large flat screen TV, the perfect place for the kids to watch their own movies, giving the adults some space of their own. The 2 large, screened in porches overlooking the creek is a favorite place to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors, the fresh mountain air and the sounds of the rushing creek. Walk out on the huge backyard deck where you'll find the large luxury hot tub, seating and dining area, all overlooking the creek of course! Grab the marshmallows and cross the little bridge to enjoy a campfire at the firepit. On a clear night, these sky's often delight with some of the brightest stars to be seen.

The creek is a favorite spot for children and adults alike to pull off their shoes and refresh in the cool mountain waters. It's quite possible to spend hours here, exploring, looking for gemstones or other items of interest that may tell a story of times past.

There is a game room which boasts a pool table as well as a ping pong table.

Another main feature of this home is the incredible custom kitchen. Truly a Chef's delight, the exotic granite counters, all stainless KitchenAid appliances, large cook/work island with 5 burner (Wolf) gas stove, provides the perfect environment to prepare and enjoy a variety of meals. Open to the dining room with a large table that seats 6 and a breakfast bar that seats 5, there is plenty of room to enjoy meals as a family.

The King Master located on the main level has it's own private bath with walk in shower and large tub. There is a Queen bedroom on the main with access to a screened in porch, and 2 more Queen Bedrooms on the upper level both with their own private baths.

This home has so many places that one can "escape" to for some alone time with a good book, or to focus on the important things in life that we sometimes take for granted. Mountain Waters Lodge provides the perfect location to renew the spirit, relationships, etc..

So....if you are in need of a place like "Mountain Waters Lodge", give us a call now or book directly from our website to experience this incredible mountain home!

Girls crafting trip
We loved our girl's weekend at Mountian Waters. Such a beautiful property with the creeks running through it!! The kitchen is very well stocked (except for a crockpot) The bedrooms are large and comfortable each having its own bathroom. The living room was great as a gathering place with a large fireplace and huge TV , and all of the nooks and places to escape to if you just wanted a minute to have a quiet time or talk on the phone was perfect. We did have a strong storm blow through and the power went out for a few hours during the night but we survived. All 4 of us are talking about renting again and bringing our husbands next time. Just so we have someone to stoke and keep the fire going. Haha

Beautiful Setting
Our stay was during Christmas week. The management company is a dream to work with. I contacted them because there was a storm due to come in the day we were to arrive. I was able to work with them on getting into the house the day before. The house is well maintained. It is a rental property, yes some things are dated but all in all it’s very comfortable. There is just one thing that should be specified in the description. The second bedroom upstairs is not really a bedroom, one wall is open. It’s more of a loft bedroom. We only needed three bedrooms for six of us, but if you’re traveling with four couples it could be an issue. There is an issue with a funky smell in the master bedroom closets but it doesn’t leak into the bedroom. We didn’t use them, thankfully there is more than enough drawer space. The kitchen is huge, with everything you need to make full meals. The house sits on a magical property. It’s beautiful. The surrounding creek, bridge and fire pit make it perfect. We were lucky enough to get snow, which turned it into a winter wonderland. We did buy a lot of wood to keep the fireplaces going, which did get very expensive. During warmer weather, there are a number of screened in porches to sit and enjoy the sound of the creek. There are neighbors but you don’t even realize they’re there. Yes there are some issues with the house but they’re minor. It was a great place to spend the holidays.

This home was as advertised and more! The pictures don’t do the lovely property justice. We had 4 couples in our party and had more than enough room to be together or apart. All the beds were comfortable and the living room accommodated all of us. Area with fire pit had enough seating and made for some fun memories! There is absolutely nothing missing in the kitchen to prepare food! And tons of storage. Our poodle was at home almost immediately and enjoyed exploring the grounds and creek. Cannot wait to return!!

I brought handicapped people.
The house is dated. Very humid in the master bedroom. The carpet was gross. No bath mats. I was told there were just a few stairs. The property was beautiful and many aspects of the house were nice. I was not told there was no cell service. I had to call the EMS through the house phone and then could not contact the hospital because it was long distance unless I drove done the road. It was not isolated and there were no trails. I was disappointed because this property was expensive.

Property and house were beautiful. Everything was great and we enjoyed ourselves! We especially had fun in the hot tub, fire pit, and racing ducks in the creek. Thank you for labeling everything and providing the driving directions from Ellijay. We did have the ice machine break down on us and the ants in the kitchen and bathroom adjacent to the kitchen. I appreciated the property management letting me know what was going on. I just wished they had contacted me when they found out the pest control was not coming out instead of me having to reach back to them. A text would have worked too. Thank you for having us. Tracy

Amazing house for a large group
We stayed at Mountain Waters Lodge with our grown daughters and their partners and everyone had a blast. The house was clean and comfortable. The home had plenty of room and a fabulous kitchen. There were plenty of porches and decks to enjoy the views, no matter what the weather. The grounds were gorgeous! The pool and ping pong tables were a huge hit. We had a slight snag with one of the a/c's not working the evening we arrived (we stayed in July), but management went above and beyond to fix the situation by the next day. We were very impressed with the effort and very grateful for their attentiveness. We would definitely recommend this home!

We enjoyed the cleanliness of the house - in fact, one of the cleanest rentals we’ve ever had. We enjoyed walking around the loop surrounding the house and its neighbors. The yard was exceptionally beautiful and the stream was delightful. We enjoyed the hot tub which was very clean. The kitchen was great and the ice maker and extra fridge drawers in addition to the full size fridge came in handy. The beds were comfortable and the 4 bathrooms came in handy. The pool table and ping pong table were a nice addition. Cons: it was difficult to get the kitchen/dining area to cool off. The rest of the house was freezing just to keep the dining room and kitchen at a bearable temperature. The lighting in the house was dim and made it difficult to work in the kitchen. We had to ask for a repair to the freezer in the fridge and even after having a repairman come out, it still didn’t get cold enough to keep our ice cream frozen. All in all, a great stay because of the yard and the neighborhood and the cleanliness of the house.

Awesome location
This was a very fun stay. If you have kids that love to play outside by a creek you can't beat this pick. We enjoyed the grounds, the hot tub, and the wonderful screened in porches so much. The kitchen is also huge and well equipped. The rest of the house was good but not great which is the reason for the 4 star. The house isn't really a 4 bedroom as one of the bed rooms is in a loft over the kitchen. Luckily there is a bonus TV room where we were able to have the kids sleep instead. But if you really need 4 real bedrooms this isn't for you. Most of the bed were also not very comfortable and could use new linens. They were also the smallest "queen" beds I have ever slept on. There were a few light bulbs burnt out and the shower in the bathroom by the kitchen didn't work well, more water came out the tub spout than the shower head. The freezer also wasn't working right, RIP to our Blue Bell ice cream. All the issues are really easy fixes so hopefully the owners pay attention because this could easily be a 5 star stay.

Perfect Location but extremely dated
The location of the house was PERFECT. It's on a long dirt road that was fun for family walks. The property had the most beautiful clear stream curving around it with picturesque bridges. My kids spent HOURS and HOURS playing in the creek (we brought buckets, sieves, shovels, etc) and exploring the property. They also loved catching little fish with a net from the dock on the pond. We really enjoyed taking dips in the hot tub, but it didn't feel like it ever got really hot. The fire pit was great and the perfect setting for a campfire and smores with the peaceful bubbling brook nearby. It was a short walk up the road to a trailhead that leads to the Pinhoti Trail. A neighbor happened to tell us how to find the Pinhoti Trail, otherwise we would never have known this. We hiked towards the mountain and enjoyed a really nice trail and views. The house itself was very dated... like a time machine into the 1990s. There was so much old decor everywhere you looked. The house was big but the layout was a little odd. For instance, the kitchen was far from the family room and one of the bedrooms was really a loft over the kitchen. The bed mattresses were comfortable but the pillows were so lumpy and the comforters were really thin and old (one bedroom had a nice fluffy duvet, the others all and thin quilts or comforters). MANY of the light fixtures had non-working lightbulbs and it just felt like the place needs to be updated or at least maintained a little better. It was surprising that the kitchen had really high-end Kitchen Aid appliances (including a pellet ice maker and separate drink drawers) and a Wolf stove while the bedroom linens were so old and flimsy. Another thing to note is that the house has a huge selection of DVDs. Our kids combed through them, picked a few, and were excited to have movie night on our last night...only to discover that none of the DVD players actually worked. We thought we'd salvage movie night with Netflix, but the Netflix app was outdated and couldn't be updated, so we weren't able to log in and use it. One really nice thing is that the house came with firewood to use on the family room and kitchen fireplaces (although we used ours in the fire pit outside). Overall, I'd stay here again if we were guaranteed great weather to be outdoors the whole time. The yard/setting was so, so nice. Being inside was not as pleasant since it felt a little neglected. Just replacing all the burned out lightbulbs would go a long way.
