Lords and ladies, welcome to your castle away from home. Whether you're seeking a romantic tryst, a friends' weekend, or a memorable family celebration, Castle Ridge provides a royal retreat from everyday life.

This cozy yet spacious North Georgia cabin rental features soaring stone and timber architecture; laurel staircases; knotty pine tongue-in-groove throughout; art glass fixtures; and an eclectic mix of comfortable, 'country cabin' decor. Its main feature, the great room's stunning prow-front wall of windows, offers panoramic vistas of the mountains and the town of Blue Ridge.

Nestled among trees in a mountaintop community, this palatial setting is only minutes from Lake Blue Ridge, the Toccoa River, the Aska Adventure Area, and downtown Blue Ridge. And while there are so many activities close by, you can also simply enjoy the views from your Adirondack chair, relaxing on the sun deck.

The full-sized kitchen and dining area are ideal for entertaining and hosting special occasions. Or dine al fresco on the covered deck, surrounded by serenity and beauty.

There's plenty of indoor fun awaiting you in the game room. Enjoy some ping pong, challenge a friend to play Xbox, choose a movie from the vast DVD library, or listen to music. There are also numerous books, board games and a toy chest filled with children's favorites.

There's no better place to reconnect and rekindle the home fires than Castle Ridge. The romantic great room, with its mood lighting, is ideal for late night conversations by the beautiful wood-burning stone fireplace. Or, on a starlit night, both the hot tub and the fire pit can keep the chill away while providing an optimum place to end a perfect day in the wonder of nature.

This intimate retreat floor plan was designed for privacy. Each floor offers a large bedroom, bath and sitting area, and the loft provides a fourth way to sleep in style. Settle into the master bedroom upstairs - a spacious, richly decorated room with a sleek, contemporary, platform bed, and gaze out at the stars. Snuggle up in the loft with a good book and more breathtaking views on the twin daybed, which is also perfect for children with their parents right nearby. The charming, antique-themed main floor queen bedroom welcomes you with a dainty beaded and quilted comforter — step out on to the deck to watch the sunrise. The lower level's luxurious king bedroom features custom, rustic furnishings and plenty of windows.

Treat yourself to an escape among some of the most breathtaking scenery in the country. Spending a few days at Castle Ridge is sure to make anyone feel like the king or queen of the world.
