Blue Ridge Mountain Serenity at The Summit: Hot Tub, Tubing & Hiking Trails

The Summit is ideally located in the heart of the Aska Adventure area in Blue Ridge, GA. Specifically, The Summit is 1/2 mile away from the tubing/float drop in and gem mining; 1/4 mile away from the Toccoa River & Toccoa River Restaurant, in close proximity to hiking trail heads in either direction, yet very close to the Lake Blue Ridge Marina and downtown Blue Ridge for shopping, restaurants, etc.

Inspired by Southeast Asian travels, The Summit was designed with rustic elegance and as well as a focus on lodge quality comfort. The Summit uniquely offers 4 king master suites- each has a comfortable king bed, access to a separate full bathroom as well as the outdoors without entering the common area.

The Summit stands at the top of Bill's Ridge at an elevation of 2,365 ft., one of the highest elevations in Fannin County. It's easy to find though, as paved roads lead you all the way to the base of the mountain and continue about half of the way up the mountain. A few short minutes later, the road to the top of the mountain literally ends at this private and luxurious cabin. To add to the privacy, this mountain community is accessed by a coded gate entry and the back of the cabin and property actually adjoins the national forest. It's not hard to see why deer frequently meander through the property and are easily spotted from the deck around sunrise and sunset.

The cabin itself is constructed of hand hewn pine but the windows of this structure dominate as it boasts an enormous two story front gable and two gables on either side giving the living area and kitchen an abundance of light and awe inspiring views of the natural setting outside. A ten foot wrap around covered deck as well as an uncovered patio area allows for great enjoyment of the surroundings. Two fire places, one located on the outside deck, add to the over all warmth and charm. In addition, the deck includes two tables that both seat four comfortably for al fresco dining making it convenient to enjoy your favorite meal while enjoying the beautiful sunset. Breathtaking views as the sun sets over the mountains in the distance add to a wonderful dining experience. The cabin also boasts exquisitely hand carved teak furniture imported from Indonesia (including all of the bedroom furniture) and coupled with the hand scraped hard wood floors add to the rich feel and atmosphere of refined rustic flair. The cabin has four bedrooms which all include king beds, a high definition flat screen television, access to a separate, private bathroom with shower and/or tub and also access to the outdoors without going into the common areas to allow maximum privacy for each guest. The master bedroom has a separate shower and jetted Jacuzzi tub as well as it's own private and very spacious West facing veranda, a perfect place to enjoy the beautiful sunsets. In addition, each bathroom has been carefully styled with it's own blend of natural travertine stone which adds to the rustic feel of the cabin. The recreation room downstairs includes plush carpeting, thirteen foot ceilings, enormous transom windows, a championship billiard table along with a ping pong conversion set, television as well as a full wet bar with refrigerator and dishwasher. A six person fully jetted hot tub is located off of the recreation room outside and has gorgeous views of the surroundings. A 43' LG flat screen with center voice speaker in the great room allows you to enjoy your favorite movies and sports while on your vacation.

Most importantly, the location of The Summit is unsurpassed for all of your vacation needs. It can be reached by a short drive from the town of Blue Ridge down Aska Rd which is one of the most beautiful drives in the Blue Ridge area, or by Rock Creek and Stanley Creek Rd. which winds through a canopy of forest as it makes it's way through the Rich Mountain Wildlife Preserve. Excellent hiking and trail heads are 3 miles in either direction down Aska or Stanley Creek Rd., with a beautiful waterfall easily accessible from the Stanley Creek Rd. trail head.

Just on the other side of the river is beautiful Lake Blue Ridge. The lake can be accessed by boat launch 5 1/2 miles down Aska Rd or by driving another few miles to the marina. Pontoon boats and jet ski rentals are available by the day or half day.
