Hilltop Cabin at Bison View Lodge is just past the main lodge about “100 yards up the hill” as we like to say. While Bison Lodge has a “lodge chic” vibe, the cabin is more "rustic elegance" with lots of wood, iron beds, and three covered porches.

 

For your corporate or family retreat, the covered pavilion is a great place to host an outdoor meeting, live music, or just grill out safe from the rain that occasionally pops up in the mountains. The front porch has long range views and you can see Athens, GA in the distance. On Saturday night, if you look close enough, you can see the lights from the football stadium!

 

You can take in all these views from the hot tub that seats five, and there’s porch seating for a lot more. The back porch is an introvert's dream with its single hammock tucked in the corner, about as far away as you can get and still be on the property. Perfect for reading that book you’ve wanted to finally get to. And if you’re quiet enough, this is the best place to spot wildlife. Scampering baby bears have been spotted, as well as the most amazing birds and plants. The back porch is the secret spot of Bison View Lodge. Shhhh….don’t tell anyone OK? It’s our little secret.

 

Hilltop Cabin is just under 4,000 square feet. 3 stories including the terrace level with 2 bedrooms on each floor. The 2nd story features two bedrooms with on suite bathrooms. The main and terrace level each have a hall bath served by two bedrooms. The baths feature beautiful, earth tone tile showers, sinks, and vanities. 2 family rooms allow people to gather indoors without feeling too crowded.
