Misty Valley Retreat's Story...
Welcome to Misty Valley Retreat, your exquisite riverfront home away from home.
As soon as you arrive you hear the softly murmuring Toccoa River. Taking a deep breath of fresh mountain air, a sense of nature-inspired tranquility settles over you like a cool breeze on a hot day. A deer wanders into the large open yard and begins to graze, utterly undisturbed by your presence.
It is then you decide that you and your family or group of friends are about to have an unforgettable north Georgia getaway.
Inside the house, you and up to nine guests enjoy a meticulously curated luxury aesthetic. From the knotty alder beams and hand selected pine mantels, to antique repurposed industrial design pieces and stone fireplaces, there is a flowing, organic comfort that envelops you in its coziness and style.
You go to sleep and wake in a beautiful valley: regardless of which direction they’re facing, each of the four bedrooms affords you a terrific view of what north Georgia is famous for — rivers and mountains.
Misty Valley Retreat was painstakingly designed and built for sharing with loved ones; it is a haven for fun, relaxation, and connection with your whole family or friend group. Spend countless hours on the property, enjoying the creature comforts… or take off on a group adventure to the many attractions this part of the state has to offer.
Guests can indulge in the best of North Georgia's offerings. Outdoor activities abound with full access to the Toccoa River, a stone fire pit at the river's edge, and world-class trout fishing opportunities (exclusively with professional guides arranged by host). The two-wheel adventurous types can spend entire days carving up the mountains.
The home features a spacious deck with an outdoor living room, cozy fireplace, hot tub, and dining area — perfect for relaxing and enjoying the stunning surroundings. Additionally, a bar with an ice maker adds a touch of convenience and luxury to this idyllic retreat.
