About this property

Romantic River’s Edge Cabin | Hot Tub, Boulders, Swing & Paved Access

Dancing Waters

Fightingtown Creek Cabin with Private Island, Hot Tub, Fire Pit & Dog-Friendly Setting

Dancing Waters is a rare creekfront retreat where the setting is the experience. Tucked beside wide, rushing Fightingtown Creek in Cashes Valley, this intimate one-bedroom cabin gives you a front-row seat to boulders, moving water, mountain laurel, and your own private creek island.

This is not a big group cabin. It is a small, memorable river’s-edge escape for guests who care most about peace, privacy, sound, and setting.

Best For

Romantic creekfront getaways, solo resets, remote work by the water, dog-friendly trips, trout fishing, and guests who want the creek to be the main event.

What You’ll Love

* True Fightingtown Creek frontage
* Hot tub perched above the creek
* Private island and massive creek boulders
* Solo Stove fire pit near the water
* Dog-friendly setting for up to two small dogs
* Fast fiber internet for remote work or streaming
* Cozy wood stove and warm cabin feel
* Peaceful Cashes Valley location
* Professionally managed by Celebrate Blue Ridge Cabin Rentals
* Easy access to Blue Ridge, McCaysville/Copperhill, trails, wineries, and scenic drives

The Setting

At Dancing Waters, the creek is not something you visit — it surrounds the whole stay. Step outside and you hear rushing water. Sit in the hot tub and look down toward the creek. Walk the property and you can explore boulders, native plants, and a private island created by the flow of Fightingtown Creek.

This is the kind of place where morning coffee, an afternoon nap, a glass of wine, or a quiet evening by the fire all feel connected to the water.

Inside the Cabin

Dancing Waters is designed for comfort, simplicity, and time together. The cabin has one bedroom, a cozy living area, a well-equipped kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, and a warm mountain-cabin feel. The wood stove adds character and comfort during cooler months, while the open living space keeps the focus on relaxing, reconnecting, and enjoying the setting.

The cabin is especially well suited for couples, solo travelers, and guests who want a peaceful base for hiking, fishing, reading, writing, working remotely, or simply doing less for a few days.

Outdoor Living

The outdoor spaces are what make Dancing Waters special. Soak in the private hot tub above the creek, gather around the Solo Stove fire pit, listen to the water from the deck, or wander down to the boulders and private island.

For dog owners, the setting gives your pup a real mountain getaway too. Dancing Waters welcomes small dogs, making it a great choice for guests who do not want to leave their four-legged family members behind.

* Guests should supervise dogs and children closely near the creek, rocks, stairs, and outdoor areas

Location

Dancing Waters is located in Cashes Valley, one of the most scenic and peaceful areas near Blue Ridge, Georgia. From the cabin, you are close to Fightingtown Creek, mountain drives, hiking, wineries, downtown Blue Ridge, and the McCaysville/Copperhill area.

It is a perfect home base for guests who want the real North Georgia mountains: water, woods, quiet, fresh air, and a cabin that feels connected to the land around it.

Book Dancing Waters when you want something simple, beautiful, and hard to forget — a private creekfront retreat where the sound of the water becomes part of the stay.

Dancing Waters was everything I hoped it would be. We LOVED the creek & swing, the back porch with coffee and the sound of the creek early in the morning. The cabin was clean & cozy, plus Dave our host was great too. The surrounding area was gorgeous and full of beautiful scenery. If you play in the creek look for the moss alligator rock... I highly recommend Dancing Waters if you need a workaholic escape with your spouse.

I was delighted with this property. Clean, fully stocked and comfortable in any way. Great location to relax, unwind and take time for yourself. Read, take a walk, listen to the water down the stream and recharge! I will definitely recommend this property. Owner has been great and always in communication. We truly enjoyed the a accommodations (kitchen stocked, good size shower, comfy bed and couches). Plus wifi was great due to limited cell reception. From all cabins I have rented in between GA, TN and NC area, this is truly a gem!

About the host

Hosted by Dave Meeks

Host profile image
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.
