The shore of Lake Blue Ridge is 202 feet from the cabin. The walk is basically level via a wooded path. There are five steps when the elevation of the path changes. There may be a few steps to the walkway of the dock depending on the level of the lake.
The dock is 10 x 30 – 10 feet wide and 30 long. There is mooring for two boats on either side of the dock and a swim ladder at the end of the dock. Canoes, floats, kayaks, and inner tubes may be used on the lake. Bring your own or ask about rental opportunities. There is one marina on the lake. It sales gasoline for boats and rents pontoon boats by the day. There are four public boat launches on the lake. You cannot launch a boat from the cabin.
There is parking for six to eight cars or six cars and a boat trailer.
The cabin is non smoking and only those animals that call the national forest home are permitted on the premises.
In non swimming months, why not enjoy some fun with family and friends relaxing by a fire at the outdoor fire pit or shooting a game of billiards? Explore the exposed lake bed or enjoy a refreshing walk through beautiful mountains.
Shopping or exploring, the nearby towns provide ample opportunity, while the nature lover will never be able to see and do everything.
Designed to host families, Blue Ridge's Bench & Bar is located adjacent to the National Forest. Less than five miles to the scenic town of Blue Ridge, the cabin offers the perfect designation for those seeking to escape from day to day activities and enjoy family, friends in the peaceful North Georgia Mountains. Its nearness to Blue Ridge makes it ideal for those desiring to explore this great mountain town, or its nearby neighbors of Ellijay, McCaysville or Copperhill, Tennessee.
If you enjoy mountain biking or hiking, step out the door and enjoy the trails of the world famous "Aska Adventure Race."
If you have a special request or need, let us know and we will be happy to either arrange it for your or direct you to a source.
The cabin is designed to be fun and functional, but not fancy. There is space for you to gather as a group or enjoy a few quiet moments on the sun porch.
We welcome responsible college students and small groups as well as families.

Mindful of the economy, we have priced our cabin to offer you a competive family friendly vacation option.
Why the Owner Chose Blue Ridge
We designed this cabin to host families. It is not fancy. It is functional and enjoyable. If you want to have a fish fry or make a great hamburger -- come on. The lake is easily accessed and just waiting on you to jump in, float, rent a boat or simply sit and enjoy the view from the dock.
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin
Lake Blue Ridge is located in historical Blue Ridge, Georgia. An hour and a half from Altanta, the area offers many venues for family enjoyment -- the scenic railroad; horse back riding; white water rafting or tubing if you prefer a calmer ride.

Great Christmas
Guest: Austin

Date of Stay: 12/23/10
Review Submitted: 01/02/11
A great Christmas was had by all, We so enjoyed our stay - which was extended by the snow. Thanks for your understanding when we couldn't get out. The decorations were great and the twins loved the toy man. We all enjoyed the fire ring until we lost it in the snow, but then we enjoyed the snow. With all the snow we felt like we were in a Frost poem, which made the Christmas gathering even more special. Warm and cozy with room for all of us. Thanks for the decorations and recommendations for dineer too. The hamburgers at Sue's were great. Like we talked about, we hope to have the whole family back when its time for water skiing.

Not what I expected

Review Submitted: 11/29/10
I was very disappointed in the cabin. Our first impression was that it was not clean and in need of several repairs. I don't mind rustic but when the carpet is dirty and very worn that is something else;you walk on the floors and socks turn brown.Everywhere you looked there was something in need of repair. Location of pool table prevents playing from all angles. It was listed as a 5 bedroom but the lower level had 6 twin beds in two rooms connected. The fire ring is nothing more than a place in the back yard that has had a fire. The grill area on the deck is covered in ash and grease. I would not recommend this cabin.
Owner response:It is our policy to address all questions or concerns. We live within five miles of the cabin and all renters have our cell number. Having been at the cabin when the renter arrived early, I greeted them as I completed servicing the hot tub. They seemed perfectly happy with the cabin. Receiving a request for pool cue chalk and batteries within an hour of their arrival, the same was immediately delivered. The cabin is located in the woods and in the fall, there will be leaves on the porch. When the renter complained that they had had to resweep the porch, I offered to bring them a full refund. The declined and elected to continue their vacation. Having not heard anything further, I was unaware of their dissatisfaction. The cabin is serviced by the owners. We want our guests to enjoy their experience. I know that the cabin is clean -- I vacum out the stove. We have this cabin available for family and friends and when it is not in use, it is available for rent. We maintain it in excellent condition. This guest was offered the opportunity to receive a full refund.

We really enjoyed the cabin. The walk down to the lake was beautiful. The pictures from the web site did not do the place justice. We will look this cabin up again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place."
