Why the Owner Chose Blue Ridge
One day, I was reading an article stating that Blue Ridge, Georgia was listed as one of the 10 vacation spots in the nation. We did not have a riverfront property as yet in our portfolio, so we decided to jump on a plane from California over Thanksgiving holiday and spent a week looking for property in Blue Ridge. I can recall the drive up from Atlanta being so beautiful even in the winter and it took far less time than I thought. We spent a week viewing property and when we were shown the River Ridge Lodge cabin it was still under construction. The best feature as the views of the river but best yet I still had time to design the kitchen and make changes and make two master suites. The setting was just what we were looking for and all it needed was a large gazebo with fireplace at the river’s edge. We made the trip back out five months later and to our surprise the cabin turned out even better than we ever imagined. Blue Ridge is a very special place doing business with our contractor was for the most part done with a handshake and I can say for a fact that Southern Hospitality is alive and well. I will always have found memories of our neighbors brining over welcome baskets and so excited to hear that the cabin was going to be used as a luxury vacation rental.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
The best feature by far is the location on the Toccoa River with the large Gazebo and fireplace. This is a genuine log home that was crafted with real western cedar logs which gives you a totally different feel. River Ridge Lodge stays much cooler in the summer and is really cozy and comfortable in the winter because the logs hold in most of the heat. The private media room is a real plus as it has a projection TV. The kitchen and dining areas are a real favorite with guests that want to entertain in cabin. I under curved benches around a large round dining table with a lazy susan in the center so it makes it ideal for sharing a meal with friends and family. River Ridge Lodge is true luxury accommodations..we hope you will come stay with us so we can show you what true luxury is all about
Owner's Map of Blue Ridge
After spending 25 years in high tech procurement as a start-up company expert and entrepreneur I left that part of my life behind to become the Vacation Lady. In the early 1980’s I was having to make frequent trips to the Far East and experienced High tea at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. It was during this trip that the inspiration and entrepreneurial vision came to open Tea Salons in the US. In 1988, I founded a new specialty retail tea business. Created the concept, interior design elements and business plan model from a one-store operation to over 16 US franchised operations and two International locations in less than four years which placed us number 35 of the 100 fastest growing privately held companies in Silicon Valley in 1995. After 10 years in the tea business and spending stints in high tech start-ups I was ready for a new challenge. Since my husband and I enjoyed traveling and dabbling in real estate and nearing retirement age it seemed like the perfect fit. In 1996 we founded Vacation Holdings, purchased our first vacation home and set off to build a luxury vacation rental business using our properties as vacation rentals. It was such a natural progression as I could use my skills in purchasing, interior design and use the same disciplines required in franchising such as scheduling, creating instruction manuals for guests and tracking linen, towels and kitchen inventory. Basically, I was back in the Franchise business only this time we were creating turnkey vacation rentals instead of retail store fronts. My lessons learned from the service industry are applied every day in customer service and satisfaction. We are now up to 9 properties in various areas of the US and Virgin Island and I can say that this is the best time of my life as there is nothing more satisfying than helping to make a Dream Vacation come true.
