Valley Above the Clouds

Bright hard-wood floored apartment with full kitchen, living room, separate bedroom & full bath. Small desk & office chair in living room. Queen bed in bedroom, daybed w/ trundle in living room. Private entry. Dog friendly. 3.25 acres shared with owners including field, charcoal grill & fire pit; amazing views and peaceful setting. Close to state parks & lovely mountain towns. Great for bikes, cycles, and artists or just to relax & enjoy clean air and water. See further details below We are dog friendly and your stay includes access to our large horse field (we don't have horses) to let your dogs run and play. Please feel free to enjoy the wide open space! ** Special Note: We recently had one guest note that the driveway gave a car some issues. We've never before had anyone unable to make it up the drive and do not have special vehicles ourselves, but the driveway is on the bumpy side. If you're worried about your vehicle making it up a bumpy (think back road with some pits and high points) driveway with an incline, please be aware of this. Guests have access to the field, charcoal grill and fire pit. We are also working on the barn and you are welcome to check out that space as well. It's beautiful and someday will be a space all in itself! We live in a detached home onsite. When you pull up you see the steps and entry to the apartment and, if you come on around the apartment and garage, then you'll see our house. The apartment was built for a previous owners daughter. It is close but very private with its own entry and yard. Sometimes we see our guest and hang out (particularly at the fire pit) but sometimes people come and go with little or no interaction. We leave that very much up to you! The roads are curvy and all roads cut through national forest; it's spectacularly beautiful and peaceful. the area is popular for motorcycles and road bikers as well as for fishing and hiking. there are lakes and cute little mountain towns in every direction but when you're here, you're very much in nature. _____________________________ Wineries nearby include but are definitely not limited to: Wolf Mountain Vineyard (25m); Montaluce Winery & Restaurant (22m); Three Sisters Vineyards & Winery (28m); Kaya Vineyard & Winery (17m); The Cottage Vineyard & Winery (31m), Frogtown Cellars (15m), and Paradise Hills Winery Resort & Spa (15m), Odom Springs Vineyard (28m), Serenberry Vineyards (25m), Mercier Orcards (36m) _____________________________ In terms of towns that are worth a visit (again, the list is limited, there’s more!): Helen is 32 miles Blue Ridge is 35 miles Blairsville is 20 miles Dahlonega is 18 miles Murphy, NC is 40 miles _____________________________ Then there are some additional nice outdoor areas (so much more than this!!): Meeks Park is 21 miles Brasstown Bald is 22 miles Blue Ridge Lake Recreation Area is 33 miles Water’s Creek Falls is 17 miles Nottely Lake is 30 miles Lake Winfield Scott is 3 miles Vogel State Park is 10 miles Helton Creek Falls is 13 miles Or you can hang and not leave. You can even pitch a tent in the field if you're feeling adventurous. We do not include meals. One guest said the listing noted we did breakfast but I can't find that notation to remove it so I thought instead I'd make special note that meals are not included. Sorry for any inconvenience or confusion!
