Looking for a beautiful mountain view plus river access? Five Ridge Bluff has it all. Located in Cherrylog, Georgia, on 120 acres of private and SECLUDED land, between the picturesque mountain towns of Ellijay and Blue Ridge, Five Ridge Bluff boasts a splendid MOUNTAIN VIEW, abundant wildlife and native rhododendron, as well as over a mile of HIKING TRAILS along the Ellijay River. This site is named Five Ridge Bluff for the five ridges visible from the covered porch, the farthest being the Tennessee Valley Divide, commonly referred to as the "Blue Ridge". Truly a splendid view.
This 1200 square foot, Non-Smoking cabin has three bedrooms and two baths, with each bedroom uniquely decorated. The Georgia Coast, or master bedroom, houses a king-size bed, sitting area, and jacuzzi in the master bath. The Southwest bedroom contains a queen-size bed, and the Georgia Country bedroom has two twin beds. The wrap-around deck has a six-person hot tub and barbecue grill.

Fishermen can enjoy over 3/4 of a mile of available fishing along a native mountain stream, all on private land. Hike along the river and explore the native flora, have a picnic in the gazebo by the river, let the kids splash in the water at the island in the river, enjoy the private outdoor shooting range, or just relax on the covered porch and watch the sun set as the geese fly by on their way to Goose Island. It is not uncommon to see deer feeding close to the cabin during the early morning or twilight hours.
Convenient access to activities, including only ten minutes to the beautiful White Path golf range, or less than 45 minutes to Whitewater Rafting on the Ocoee River, site of the 1996 Olympics. Horseback riding, antique shopping, and fine restaurants are close by. Only a little over an hour from Atlanta or Chattanooga.

Map & Owner's Profile
Secluded Cabin - Mountain Views with Nature Trail Along River
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Blue Ridge
Beginning in 1972, we started building our home in the mountains to retreat from the frantic city life in Atlanta. We moved into our mountain home in 1977, and have never looked back!
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
At Five Ridge Bluff, you have the advantage of having a gorgeous mountain view plus access to the Ellijay River. A mile long nature trail goes from the cabin to the river and runs along its banks -- all on private property. Along the trail you will find spots to fish, play in the river, picnic, or sunbathe. Since it is all on private property, you have it all to yourself!
Owner's Map of Blue Ridge
We have lived in this beautiful part of North Georgia for 35 years, and felt a desire to share our 'piece of paradise' with others. So, in 2003, we built a rental cabin on our 120 acres. This allows others to share the pleasure of our natural environment in a secluded forest, away from the busy world, yet conveniently located to go to all those outside activites. There are no other rental cabins on our property. Your own private resort!

Absolutely perfect vacation! The cabin, property, and hospitality were great. Everything about the entire experience exceeded my expectations. My wife and I wanted a beautiful, mountain wedding venue and five ridge bluff was just that. The property made for a great ceremony and amazing pictures. I highly recommend you experience five ridge bluff.

We can't say enough about this wonderful place. This year marked our second (hopefully annual!) visit to Five Ridge Bluff. We loved it so much the first time that we couldn't wait to get back this year. We would have stayed longer if not for the weekend booking right after ours, but we were happy to take what we could get! It was the perfect place for our family of six to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy nature. Mike and Sharon have a rare gift of true hospitality; they have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible, right down to providing kid-friendly soaps for our little ones. The hiking trails and river provide plenty of activity without ever having to leave the property. Dixie and Buster are the icing on the cake. We lost our sweet lab this spring, and it hit our youngest boy so hard...Buster was the perfect balm for his broken heart. There are no words to describe how wonderful it was to see the joy on Jack's face as they ran and played. Thank you, Mike and Sharon, for the opportunity to share a little bit of your paradise!

My birthday present this year was a weekend away with my two young children (ages 5 and 3), my mother and my husband. What a FANTASTIC weekend it turned out to be. We were blessed with perfect weather for enjoying every part of this beautiful property. Hiking, fishing, target shooting, swimming in a sparkling and CLEAN river, and cooking food over an open fire, all with the comforts of a well appointed (and well thought-out) cabin with a breathtaking view to wake up to every morning. Even the northwesterly position of the back porch is perfect for watching the sunset in the evenings, as the sun casts shadows over the lush green mountains without shining directly into your eyes. And we couldn't keep the kids out of the hot tub! Buster and Dixie, the owner's beloved pets, kept watch over the cabin at night and were there to greet us in the morning. Saw two deer out of the kitchen window, only 10-12 feet from the house on our first morning there! This cabin was conveniently located (not far off of Hwy 515), while somehow still feeling "remote." Reasonably priced for a family weekend, and the owners are refreshingly welcoming. Note that because of the mountainous terrain some of the hiking is challenging, and might be tough for younger children (like my 3-yr-old) and seniors. Nevertheless, we will definitely recommend this property to friends!

Beautiful Mountain Getaway

I just spent a week at the cabin with my boyfriend and another couple. It is an incredibly beautiful setting--the cabin itself is spotless, comfy and just lovely. The surrounding view, nature trail and river a quite a marvel. The setting is so nicely secluded that you really feel that you've gotten to have a bit of paradise all to yourselves. The couple who own the property couldn't be nicer or more gracious. It's a heavenly place that is also close to a ton of attractions, such as white water rafting, shopping, horseback riding and restaurants. This cabin and it's surrounding beauty really provide for a great vacation at a really affordable price. It was hard to leave it all behind and venture back to Chicago! I would recommend this getaway most highly to anyone looking for relaxation and fun in a majestic setting that is truly unspoiled--you can't beat this!!!

We enjoyed the surrounding property so much with beautiful walks along the stream and spots to stop and sit or picnic and enjoy the beauty. The dogwoods were in bloom and so pretty. The house was very comfortable and clean. The drive into the property is fun too - going up the small mountain to where the cabin sits on top.

There are no words to adequately describe Five Ridge Bluff cabin. If you are looking for complete privacy and tranquility this is the cabin for you. The trail to the river is wonderful, and the private walk along the private stretch of Ellijay River is nothing short of magnificent. Mike and Sharon are gracious hosts and extremely respectful of your privacy. Their dogs, Dixie and Buster, make the cabin even more quaint if possible. Whether you are looking for a place to stay and relax in a hot tub on your private deck overlooking the five ridges or looking to catch some of the most beautiful trout in Georgia, this is the place for you. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Thank you Mike and Sharon for everything. I guarantee you will see us again! Pam & David

My wife and I rented Mike and Sharon's cabin for a week this past Jan. After the week had past, I was happy we got 8 inches of snow and had to stay a few extra days to let the roads thaw out. I was on leave from Iraq and wanted to find a secluded place to spend some much needed alone time with my wife. This place was perfect, 120 acres to yourself !! The view is amazing, and everything you could possibly need is there. I was amazed by the amount of work that Mike and Sharon have out into making this such a special place. I could not imagine how many hundreds of hours each year are spent on maintaining the nature trails alone. If you need anything Mike is there, but if you don't you would never know they were anywhere close. The dogs were an added bonus, they became like part of the family. We stayed 10 days, and other than a few store runs, never left the property. We are definately planning on more trips here for many years to come. I can't wait to go back when it is warm enough to take full advantage of the river. Thanks again Mike and Sharon for the perfect vacation spot.

Our stay here was very peaceful and relaxing. The cabin had everything you need. We enjoyed hiking around the trail and loved the bridge that went to the island in the middle of the Ellijay River. The dogs were so much fun to hang out with. I have never seen a dog that goes fishing for big river rocks! Just a quick trip from Atlanta.. this would be a great place to visit in the summer when you can get in the river as well. Thanks again for everything Mike & Sharon.

Perfect Family Vacation Getaway

Review Submitted: 01/28/11
Our families were coming from Texas & North Carolina. I spoke to Mike & Sharon through email & read the previous reviews & searched more homes within a few hours from Five Ridge Bluff. Since we were taking a long vacation, we wanted something very nice but also affordable. This home had it all & it was an amazing cost. We arrived late one night & only seeing with our car lights, the house was cute outside. Mike came to welcome us & immediately felt like he was family. We shared some Texas sausage sticks w him & just chatted. We checked everything out (board games, cards, soaps, shampoos, dish soap, laundry soap, amazing walking sticks, room comfortably for the 7 of us) & unloaded. Ahh.. finally there. We made a pot of coffee & relaxed on the amazing porch. Went to bed & woke to the most amazing view. Since the cabin is secluded, we ran around the yard & down to the river and trail in our pajamas & shoes like little kids. No one would know! During our week there, we did everything. My husband, father in law & 2 boys went to the shooting area & had a blast. We all went fishing several times while wishing it were warmer so that we could play in the river. It's absolutely beautiful. The different trees, rocks, trails, etc. You could spend forever just exploring. Most nights, we made a fire with the available fire wood. Don't forget stuff for smores! One day we went to old town Ellijay. Super cute town but not a whole lot there. There's a great teeny tiny coffee/tea store that you should check out. Another day, we went to old town Blue Ridge. Ahh.. I could live at Five Ridge Bluff & shop in down town Blue Ridge all day. Shops & cute restaurants galore! It was great knowing that we were going back 'home' to our welcoming cabin. Our children are all under the age of 15 & one thing they really wanted was to play in the snow. Well, we didn't get it all week until the last day, Christmas day, when we were leaving. We woke to a beautiful white blanket of snow & all of us, big & small ran out & threw snowballs, built a small snowman & did snow angels. Unfortunately, we had to rush out because it was coming down quickly. Our car/truck aren't made for snow so our savior Mike & his tractor saved us on Christmas day. He didn't have to spend several hours helping us to leave but he did. If Mike & Sharon were to ever rename the place, I'd recommend, "A Little Piece of Heaven" because to us, it truly was! I would recommend it to anyone!

We pulled in the 27th of December and didn't move our car until we left on the 30th. We ate, slept, hiked and played games in this delightful cabin with beautiful surroundings. Enjoyed the hot tub, the dogs, the snow. Everything was perfect for a time of relaxing and family togetherness.
