Location: Blue Ridge, Northwest High Country, Georgia, USA (90 miles north of Atlanta in the Aska Adventure Ar) View Map
Accommodations: Cabin, 4 Bedrooms + Sleeping Porch, 4 Baths (Sleeps 14)
River Dwelling is a four bedroom, four bath contemporary modern vacation home in the North Georgia Mountains that sits on a quiet stretch of the Toccoa River, across from the Chattahoochee National Forest and a short drive from Blue Ridge, Georgia. Sitting high on its concrete pedestal, River Dwelling guests are treated to the spectacular surroundings of old growth pines, oaks, and the hypnotic rhythms of the river.
Eschewing the standard 'vernacular' of the 'authentic' log cabin, the design team looked to create a sublime visual dichotomy between the verdant and the man made. With a moveable wall and large expanses of glass, the lines are blurred from that which is outside - wild, and natural, and the inside - clean, and machined.

Great location and a unique North Georgia Mountain Experience

Stayed at River Dwelling the last week of July, as a final getaway before school started back. The house is in one of the easist to get to locations in the area, no steep driveways, major hills, etc. Paved until the final drive, which is hardpack gravel. GREAT to be right on the river. The entire family enjoyed our time tubing, splashing around, using the chair-swing, etc. Make sure you bring your own tubes, as this is a fabulous place to enjoy a great float! Modern styling is different than anything we have experienced in Blue Ridge, but was an enjoyable and welcomed change.

I booked River Dwelling for a family trip this past July. The weather was beautiful and the memories we made during our visit will never be forgotten. River Dwelling is more than we expected it would be! Very modern, very clean and very comfortable. Plenty of space for everyone to do what they wanted. Our family spent lots of time every day tubing down the Taccoa River. We all took turns sleeping on the "Sleeping Porch". What a great experience, listening to the sounds of the night and most of all the river flowing past. We enjoyed beautiful mornings sipping coffee down by the river and lots of fun nights by the fire and in the hot tub. We took a day trip and went White Water Rafting down the Ocoee River which was only about a 30 minute drive. We spent a couple other days driving down the winding mountain roads to the various waterfalls in the area. Of course, taking a stroll in the little town of Blue Ridge and window shopping is always a must! We can't wait to visit River Dwelling again! I have sent pictures and the website to all of my family and friends and encouraged them to not miss an opportunity to make memories at River Dwelling. Thank you for sharing your special place with our family! We can't wait to come back!

Perfect Get-Away

My family and I have visited the Kaufman's cabin several times and each time we leave, we look forward to a future visit. The cabin sits right on the river and is so relaxing. We love the modern architecture and the open layout of the living space in the cabin. There are hiking and biking trails so close that you don't even have to get in the car to get there. A perfect place to gather with friends and family!

Two vacations in one

I have rented other cabins before and have been disappointed upon arrival. But River Dwelling is just as beautiful in person as it is in online! The cabin has the look and all the amenities of a modern home. Yet the scenery, the open-air garage door, and proximity to the river remind you that you're in the heart of the great outdoors. It's like taking two vacations in one! The property was very clean and well-maintained. The owner gave us recommendations on several hikes, mountain bike trails, a tube rental location, and nearby restaurants. Two of our favorite hikes were by the hanging bridge and Fall River Falls (great for kids- beside a waterfall). We also spent a lot of time just playing in the river right on the property. There is a sandy "beach" entrance perfect for the kids to play on and a fire pit area and hammock for the adults. The river was clean and fun to swim in. Our family voted unanimously to make this our annual vacation spot!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, girls getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers.
