Once you’re here, you’ll understand why Suches is called, “The Valley Above the
Clouds” — and why our beloved chalet is your mountain oasis.
With the goal of creating an airy, open feel and an eye for a simple and tasteful
aesthetic we designed this gorgeous lodge to be our little hideaway, a home away
from home... and as soon as you walk through the door that’s precisely how you will
feel: at home.
Well appointed, comfortable, and inviting, Grand View is perfect for romantic
getaways or small family- or friends’ trips to the mountains.
We love to cook and it shows: whether you’re scrambling a few eggs for a pre-hike
breakfast or crafting an elaborate multicourse supper, you will love our fully
equipped kitchen. Enjoy chef-grade cookware, such as an Emeril LaGasse air fryer,
complete set of Henkel knives, brand new top-end pots and pans, a roaster, and a
Cuisinart veggie steamer and rice cooker. We also just got new glass stemware for
the wine lovers (I mean, can you imagine a plastic wine glass on that deck? Eeeww
no) and our Ninja coffee maker is absolutely bad*ss. And if you’re one of those
in-the-mountains-we-are-meant-to-cook-over-a-fire-the-way-our-ancestors-did
people, don’t worry, we got you covered: there’s a sweet new gas BBQ grill outside
on the veranda.
Savor your meals and good company in the open plan living/dining room, or enjoy
an unforgettable al fresco experience on the veranda or sunken deck. When the
stars come out grab your s’mores supplies and head down to our remodeled firepit
at the woods’ edge.
Speaking of decks, this one is a beaut. We recommend having a moment to yourself
there in the early morning, steaming cup in hand, as you take in the majesty of the
landscape and the day’s beginning. In the evening, sitting around the fire table,
sipping wine from a local vintner as the setting sun paints the sky flaming
vermillions and plum purples, you’ll feel that very specific type of peace that you
can only get when surrounded by loved ones in an awe-inspiring natural setting.
When you’re ready to explore ( if , you’re ready to explore, that is — God knows
we’ve spent countless days enjoying Grand View without ever venturing out), the
quiet community of Suches is known for its breathtaking views and abundant
outdoor activities, making it an ideal and central jumping-off point for your
adventure. Hike the Appalachian Trail, paddle your way down the Toccoa River, eat
your weight in barbecue, or spend the days carving up the pristine roads on your motorcycle (Rider Magazine ranked this region #6 on its Top 35 Bucket-list Rides)...
and fall in love with North Georgia.
Whenever you’re ready for an unforgettable experience in the mountains, Grand
View and Suches are waiting for you.
