If you are looking for an upscale north Georgia mountain experience “The Mount Yonah Castle” is the place for you. Located in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains, our home has an open floor plan with a spectacular views. We are in a gated community between the towns of Cleveland and Helen, GA. So many activities in the immediate area or just stay at the house and relax!!
Mount Yonah Castle will capture your heart from the time you walk up the flagstone walkway to the grand entrance to the time you leave with cherished memories of your getaway. There is a flagstone walkway that meanders around the house to an inviting patio where you can enjoy the view and the chirping birds along with a fire pit and seven person Hot Spot Rhythm hot tub.
Inside the home you can relax on one of the sofas or chairs and enjoy a warm fire. Or, go out to the deck to do a little star gazing. It's a great place to enjoy the mountain air and the open sky. We have several comfortable seating and dining options available on the deck. Pets will enjoy the freedom to roam around in our fenced in back yard.
The master bedroom is on the main floor and has vaulted ceilings, a spectacular view, and access to the deck through sliding glass doors. It has a comfortable king size panel bed. The private bath includes a jetted tub, double sinks, and a separate shower.
The two spacious bedrooms upstairs have a king size sleigh bed and a king size panel bed with the same comfortable mattress as the master bedroom and they have their own private bathrooms as well. One of the bedrooms upstairs overlooks the mountains in back and the other overlooks the garden and forest.
Additional sleeping options include a day bed (with trundle below) in the great room. We also have 3 roll away cots that would be suitable for smaller adults or children and could be set up in the hallway or in one of the bedrooms. And we have a Pack N Play for your infants. For maximum comfort we recommend no more than nine adults per family or group.
The clean and bright white kitchen with white granite counter tops make it a pleasure to spend time in the kitchen. The cottage style dinner table has room for 10 family members and friends. There is also a six person and a two person table on the deck if you prefer to dine outside.
The fire pit on the patio has six Adirondack chairs where you can go toast marshmallows or sip some wine by the fire or you can take a relaxing dip in the hot tub overlooking the valley.
There is a half bathroom in the foyer for anyone who may be sleeping in the great room.
In the morning there is nothing like having your coffee on the deck in a rocking chair or one of the lounges while watching the sunrise come over the mountains. Even storms are amazing at Mount Yonah.
If you like wildlife keep an eye out for the local deer and other critters. We have an abundance of song birds and there are even bears in the area if you are lucky enough to see one.
