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. A Bassett sleeper couch in the living room provides additional sleeping space. The wrap-around deck has a six-person hot tub and barbecue grill. An outside firepit is also provided, as well as a hiking trail which takes you through the woods, along the river, and wraps back around to the cabin. All conveniences of a family home are provided for your comfort ... and we pride ourselves on CLEANLINESS!
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, 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. For back to nature seclusion combined with convenient access to a wide variety of activities, come to Five Ridge Bluff!

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!

Homeowner Response:
We want to thank the Fenders for their comment. We always love to have comments from our guests. A little clarification -- the "creek" is really a small river. It is the waters of the upper Ellijay River. It is about a 5-10 minute walk to the river (depending upon how fast you walk), but you can also get to the river by a 2-minute drive down our private road for those who prefer not to walk.

Personal e-mail received by homeowner: Hi! We stayed in your cabin 9-25 - 9-26, we had a great time. But the more important thing was how CLEAN and homey the place felt. Everything was there that you needed, all you really need to bring is your clothes and walking shoes. We do appreciate the cleanliness of the cabin and the location, the river, the view, and the trails were great. We tried to treat the cabin the way you do and leave it clean. We only hope that everyone who stays there will do the same. Thanks for the use of your cabin.
