"View on a Whim” Luxury Cabin with Breathtaking Views, Theatre, Hot Tubs, Hiking


This Private Luxury Cabin Retreat sits nestled on its very own unique ridge along the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. You can hear the nearby streams and waterfalls (hiking trails through three streams begin on the property). From the deck the nearest neighbors are hundreds of yards away for a truly secluded escape.

The ultimate mountain getaway with all the amenities to relax: outdoor hot tub, wood burning fireplaces, luxury master bath, outdoor fire pit table, outdoor green egg smoker, Blackstone Griddle, home movie theater, pool table, shuffleboard, arcade, and more.

Amazing views with a huge wrap around porch with over 2500 sqft. of total deck space.

Entertainment
Uniquely fun “SnapBack” shuffle board table (includes bowling pins)

77” LG OLED tv with 7.1 Dolby atmos surround sound. push button recline leather theater seating. Arguably better than the movies.

Retro/modern 20,000 game arcade with 4 player positions. Endless fun for the youth and non stop nostalgia for the young at heart.

Bent Tree’s Lake Tamarack. 110-Acre Lake Tamarack is a beautiful, scenic feature of the Bent Tree Community. Paddleboard or canoe the lake, fish from the house, swim from the large beach and let the kids monkey about the playground and volleyball courts.

Bent Tree Golf Course & Pro Shop (0.4 miles)
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the golf course at Bent Tree is one of North Georgia’s most beautiful 18-hole championship courses. The Joe Lee designed course meanders through the base of several mountains, past waterfalls, mountain streams, and brooks, boldly confronting the broad shoulder of Sharp Top Mountain. Golfing is an added expense to the visit if you so desire and reservations are recommended. https://golf.bent-tree.com/

Great Stay
Our stay in the mountains was perfect. We travel around each Spring to a different area of Blue Ridge Mountains to hike and relax. The Bent Tree community offers golf, tennis, and great hiking. There is a good trail right off the property. We visited the Main Street in Jasper for great local food. The view from the deck is great for sunsets and star viewing. We highly recommend this cabin.

25th birthday weekend
I booked this place for a small group of friends and I to celebrate my 25th birthday and it was perfect! The hot tub was a big hit and the kitchen was a great space for larger-volume cooking. The beds are super comfy as well! I definitely recommend this place for any group because there is something there for everyone!

We had a great time. The house was perfect for our family of 15. The surrounding was wonderful. We saw deer, beavers, and bears. On the property terrain was a lot to do. There was a lake with a beach, and fishing. The hiking trails were wonderful. City of Jasper was also very nice with enough to do and see.

Great
We had a wonderful stay. There was 14 of us; 7 adults, 7 kids & 2 one year olds and there was plenty of space for everyone. The game room & theater room was perfect for the kids. The kitchen was well stocked with everything one could possible need. Matt, the owner, was very gracious and made himself available even before we arrived. We would definitely come back.

Mountain wedding celebration
Stayed at this beautiful cabin for my niece’s wedding at a nearby venue. I can’t say enough on just how wonderful the experience was for us! The cabin is so spacious and comfortable and the views from the back porch are amazing. The owners are wonderful and the rental process was so easy. Jason ( one of the owners) is great with communication and extremely helpful if you need anything or have questions throughout your stay. I will definitely love to stay again during the spring or summer!!

Amazing Cabin and Spectacular View
Our family getaway was wonderful and the Cabin was beyond what we expected So cozy but with large spaces and plenty of room for the whole family. The kitchen was huge and perfect for all our gatherings. The outdoor deck was very nice with spectacular views of the mountains The master bedroom is so beautiful but I wish it would have had some window coverings. Hiking on the property was great and visited the local winery. All in all it was a week of making beautiful memories with our family Thankyou Matt for your service and quick response to our needs. Would definitely love to come back HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Fabulous friends weekend
A group of 5 couples and 4 small children had a perfect mountain weekend at this home! The kitchen was very well equipped for staying in and cooking, we especially enjoyed the big green egg. The hot tub(s) was also a huge plus! Tons of room for everyone to have their own space, but still spend time together. We’ll be back next year! Our only hiccup was a bit of trouble getting the code to the door at check-in, but I think that was an anomaly and it was quickly resolved.

Magical Weekend in the Woods
Our stay at this massive cabin in the woods was truly exceptional. The stunning views of the surrounding nature were absolutely breathtaking, and the cabin itself perfectly blended rustic charm with modern comfort. The spacious layout provided ample room for our group of 16, and the large windows throughout the property showcased stunning vistas. The hot tub became our favorite spot, offering a perfect vantage point for enjoying morning coffee and stargazing at night. The well-equipped kitchen, cozy fireplace, and movie theater added to the overall experience. The host's attention to detail and excellent communication made our stay seamless. This cabin is an ideal retreat for those seeking a perfect balance of nature and comfort. It's a gem we can't wait to return to. Thank you to the host for sharing this remarkable space with us! ⛰️🌲✨

Great for a Large Group
While the House was what we needed for our event, there are lots of issues with the lighting and ceiling fans. None of the fans could operate without having the fan light on - not good for the bedrooms or in the main living room. Many fixtures in the kitchen were missing bulbs or they were burned out. Also, there are no window treatments or blinds in the primary bedroom. But overall it is a nice house with lots of space.

Amazing property
Everything about this beautiful home was absolutely perfect. We had a large group of adults and children and there was plenty of space for everyone. Everything was sparkling clean. The beds were comfortable with fresh linens. The kitchen was so well stocked! There was plenty of firewood available on property. Everything was in working order. The only thing we struggled with was getting the tvs and video game to work but we are not big technology people. The trail on property was so pretty and we absolutely loved going down by the lake and exploring the trail there that ran along the creek. The owner was very easy to communicate with. We’ve been taking trips to the mountains with this group for 10 years and this is the first time we all agreed to try to rent the same exact cabin next year. Such a fabulous vacation for a large group!

Wonderful mountain gem
This was a quite lovely and well appointed home with a beautiful view. We chose it because it was a mountain experience but further south so we could also get to Atlanta for activities. We truly felt like this was a haven away for us and would consider coming back a second time. The host is kind and attentive and the home had a high end yet family feel. Excellent wifi compared to many rentals we have experienced. The gated community made us feel very safe. Thanks!

Overall a good stay but not worth what we paid
- The cabin was overall a decent stay and very spacious, however not to standard for what they are charging. We travel to the Georgia mountains as a family every summer and have stayed at some really nice cabins so we were slightly a little disappointed. We had 16 of us so we had plenty of room. We all had beds to sleep in and it is well stocked with kitchen necessities, towels, blankets and all the things! The owner and IT manager were very responsive and helpful. The movie room and game room a nice and plenty of room. My husband and kids liked the community golf coarse. On the down side of things, The staff in the office was not helpful. When we asked for information and details on what there was to do on the property, they basically pointed to the map and that was it. The front and back patios need to be cleaned, the patio furniture is very dirty, we were not able to use the outdoor dining table, lounge chairs or anything due to the cushions being so dirty and moldy. The fridge needs to be replaced, the upper part of the fridge does not cool we had to throw out our dairy products and kept our meat on the bottom shelf. The grills were very dirty, we had to clean out before we cooked on it. The hot tub was on the dirty side, family used it but I would not go in. The pool is not included in your stay, it’s $35 per pass. Overall a decent place that holds up to 16 people, but maybe we’ve been spoiled by the condition of the previous cabins we’ve stayed in.

WOW- Amazing Views
All I can say is this cabin does indeed have the best views! We really enjoyed our week at this cabin. We had everything we needed. We explored to nearby local favorites. Amicalola Falls is a pretty sight. We wish we would have explored the community amenities more, we found the "beach" the last day we were there and that was a cool little area for the family. The tavern had an amazing lunch. All around very satisfied. The owner was very quick with any questions, thank you Adam. For you flat landers out there coming to the mountains, the driveway is a bit intimidating, it's super steep. But with that said, I think it's just because we're from Florida and not used to it. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Better than the pictures
10 of us stayed comfortably here and could easily have fit a few more people. The place was incredible. The views were spectacular. We decided to stay at the cabin for the entirety of our trip so we didn’t go out or eat elsewhere. The kitchen comes stocked with really anything you could need for cooking. They have the staple spices as well. There are a lot of cabinets but they’re all labeled which helps make things easier to locate. We went on a hike that started right at the top of the driveway and it took us down by a beautiful creek and some small waterfalls. The house is in a really nice neighborhood and feels nice and secluded. We are considering making the trip a yearly thing. Loved being able to celebrate my birthday with friends in such a great place!

Great Weekend Getaway
Our group had a great time here at View on a Whim! Obviously the view is the main attraction, but the cabin itself was fantastic as well. Two large TV areas and ample seating prevented any argument between movies and video games - we had both going on. The game room was lots of fun, and the hot tub was extremely relaxing. The fire table added a nice ambience for lounging on the deck. The kitchen was well-stocked and perfect for cooking large meals, and we made good use of the Big Green Egg to make pork BBQ, smoked salmon, and other grilled deliciousness. We had lots of room to spread out, and plenty of beds. The owners and gate staff were friendly and helpful with clear instructions for our stay, and nothing at all was lacking from the property. Just a terrific place overall, I would return here in a heartbeat. Thank you again for hosting us, it was an absolute pleasure!
