Lake Vista Lodge

Welcome to Lake Vista Lodge, a 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom mountain home hosted by A Blue Ridge Vacation. Set inside the gated Bent Tree community — just 60 miles north of Atlanta — this completely updated North Georgia mountain home delivers an impressive combination of luxury finishes and all-new furnishings, two full levels of living space, and walking-distance access to Lake Tamarack’s beach. It comfortably sleeps up to 14 guests and is the kind of property that spoils every group that walks through the door.

Step inside and the main level opens up with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and a bold stone wood-burning fireplace at the center of it all. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances — electric range, French door refrigerator with ice and water, dishwasher, microwave — plus a large quartz island with seating for four, a Keurig and drip coffee maker, and everything you need to cook comfortably for a crowd. A crystal chandelier hangs above the main dining table, which seats six to eight with chairs and a bench, lending the whole space a polished but welcoming feel.

The primary suite is genuinely stunning. A king bed sits beneath vaulted ceilings with a dramatic arched window, and the en suite bathroom features a freestanding soaking tub, a glass walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling blue marble tile and gold fixtures, dual vanity with backlit mirrors, and a walk-in closet. Three additional queen bedrooms on the main level and a double queen on the lower level are all thoughtfully furnished with TVs and access to beautifully designed bathrooms — each one uniquely tiled in marble with quality fixtures. Downstairs, the rec room is a gathering space unto itself: leather recliner sofas, a big screen TV, exposed wood beam ceilings, a wet bar with a beverage refrigerator, and a second dining table for six. A sleeper sofa there accommodates extra guests easily.

The outdoor space works across two levels as well. Relax on the upper deck with outdoor dining and sweeping wooded views, then wind down in the Sundance hot tub on the lower deck while rocking chairs sit close by. Lake Tamarack is visible through the trees in winter, and the community beach is truly just a short walk away. A gas grill and ample parking complete the picture.

Beyond the home itself, Bent Tree’s amenities are a vacation within a vacation — championship golf, swimming pools, horse stables, hiking trails, pickleball courts, and full access to 110-acre Lake Tamarack for fishing, boating, and swimming. When you’re ready to explore beyond the gate, Jasper is minutes away, Ellijay offers orchards and cider houses just down the road, and Blue Ridge is a short drive north for mountain dining, boutique shopping, and the famous scenic railroad.
