This Georgia Mountain Cabin Will Make You Feel Like You’re in a Movie

An incredible view can elevate a typical vacation stay to one you'll never forget. I love hotels and Airbnbs with balconies or patios overlooking stunning views. They can have views of white sand beaches, serene lakes, butterfly gardens, horse pastures, snow-capped mountains, or lush forests. No matter the details, a breathtaking view can make a few minutes with a simple cup of coffee or glass of wine feel like a luxury retreat.

We've found a Georgia Airbnb with a view so unique that you'll never forget it. The River Forest Lookout in Blue Ridge is a one-of-a-kind Airbnb on top of a 60-foot tower overlooking the abundant 37,000-acre Cohutta Wilderness.

The tower is on 14 acres of remote wilderness, making the vacation rental private and quiet. To get there, guests park their vehicles about a mile away and take a Jeep to the tower. Guests note that the drive through the forest is an adventure in itself. A hoist basket transports bags to the top, so visitors don't have to worry about hauling their luggage themselves. As if its soaring location in the sky and treetop views weren't enough unique characteristics, this Airbnb is also crafted from two shipping containers. The containers have expansive windows, and guests can enjoy panoramic views from inside the Airbnb.

The Airbnb's interior is equipped for a comfortable stay, with running water from a well, electricity from solar panels, and propane wall heaters. It has a plush double bed, a small wooden stove, and a dining area for two. There's a kitchenette outfitted with a microwave, stove, refrigerator, coffee machine, and sink. A bathroom ensures guests have all the necessities, including a shower, toilet, hair dryer, and towels.

The River Forest Lookout also has a balcony off the kitchenette, with a grill and an outdoor dining area for two. Can you imagine having a romantic dinner or a decadent dessert on the balcony? Few places are so peaceful and remote. This Airbnb also has a rooftop terrace with plush seating and a gas fire pit. Guests can enjoy brilliant sunrises, sunsets, and starry skies from the terrace. They can also hear the sounds of a nearby waterfall.

The River Forest Lookout is about 25 minutes from Blue Ridge, Georgia, a scenic mountain town with about 1,200 residents. Blue Ridge has a lively art scene, with live music and art galleries.
