Dancing Waters is a rare creekfront escape set at the water’s edge on Fightingtown Creek in Cashes Valley. The cabin sits beside an 80-foot-wide stretch of rushing water, where large boulders, native hemlocks, whitewater sounds, and a private island create one of the most memorable waterfront settings in the Blue Ridge area.
This is the kind of cabin where the setting becomes the experience. Soak in the hot tub perched just above the creek, relax on the screened porch, listen to the water move around the boulders, or settle in by the Solo Stove after a day exploring the mountains. With its lodge-style interior, king bed, fast fiber internet, wood stove, and easy access, Dancing Waters is ideal for couples, solo travelers, remote workers, and guests looking for a peaceful dog-friendly retreat.

Dancing Waters is located in Cashes Valley, one of Blue Ridge’s hidden gems. The cabin sits along Fightingtown Creek, a trophy trout stream known for clear water, natural beauty, and the sound of rushing current moving over rocks and boulders.
Large hemlocks and giant creek boulders give the setting a Pacific Northwest feel — right here in the North Georgia mountains. The private island and natural whitewater make this property feel especially unique, peaceful, and tucked away.

This place was absolutely fantastic. Went on a bunch of great hikes not too far away and just read a book and relaxed listening to the water. I did some yoga out on the rocks one morning as well. This place was magical. We'll definitely be coming back.
Our stay was so much better than expected. We had activities planned but canceled because it was just so relaxing staying on the porch and swinging next to the creek.Dave was awesome and quick to respond when I needed directions for the hot tub.Will definitely come back at the first opportunity we get!!!
Very clean! Cabin was cozy with nice amenities! Small bathroom. View was spectacular, especially from swing at the edge of the water! Highly recommended!
Everything was great. We enjoyed our stay, and really liked the information book that was full of neat facts and places to visit.The swing next to the creek was nice, and we got to see a huge mudpuppy pass by in the water. Overall we were happy with choosing to stay here.
Dave is an excellent host, he was very helpful and the Cabin was thoughtfully stocked. The cabin was very clean, well maintained and the location was wonderful. We really enjoyed the hot tub overlooking the creek. Thank you for a relaxing mountain getaway!
Absolutely perfect. The host was extremely accommodating and the property went above and beyond to ensure our stay was amazing. We will definitely be staying again the next time we have a chance.
My wife and I had a wonder relaxing weekend enjoying the cabin. We had breakfast on the screened in back porch watching the creek and wildlife. Loved the hot tub. Had fires in the wood burning stove.Highly recommend this place.
We had a fabulous stay! This little cabin is the perfect weekend getaway. Haven’t stayed anywhere quite like it. The creek is so peaceful, our pup loved exploring it. And the hot tub overlooking the creek was just the relaxing vibes we needed.

We had an excellent stay. Highly recommended. Five starts!!
The best little cozy cabin in the mountains! The host had a lot of courtesy amenities provided for us, and also checked in with us when we arrived that everything was as we expected. 10/10, would love to come back!
Beautiful house perched on a hill overlooking a pristine stream. It's a perfect, peaceful sanctuary. The host is easy to reach and customer focused. We had a great stay.

About the host
Hosted by Dave Meeks
We fell in love with the Blue Ridge/Ellijay/McCaysville area many years ago bringing our kids up for hikes and camping and enjoying the many activities available in those areas. Now that our kids are grown they still enjoy these mountains and so do we, in every way. Cashes Valley is our favorite area to be in because of its pristine forests and streams and its close proximity to ATL.
Why they chose this property
Dancing Waters is a perfect couples cabin in an amazing setting only 9 miles to Blue Ridge. You won't want to leave the cabin but, when you do, you'll be surrounded by a verdant forest with a rushing stream just outside your door!
Rare setting - Easy to get (almost all paved) to but feels a million miles away. Close to multiple nearby towns of Blue Ridge, Ellijay, and McCaysville/Copperhill. Amazing Hot Tub deck perched over river.
What makes this property unique
A rare river’s-edge retreat on Fightingtown Creek, Dancing Waters offers a front-row seat to rushing water, massive boulders, natural whitewater, and a private island in one of Cashes Valley’s most memorable creekfront settings.
