Dog Friendly 10 Acre Retreat Fly Fishing and Pond

10-Acre Dog-Friendly Creekside Cabin | Fishing, Hot Tub & Privacy Near Blue Ridge
***** Part of The Kristy Collection *****

Welcome to Blue Bird, a place designed to help you slow down and reconnect — with nature, with your family, and with yourself.

Set on 10 mostly flat, walkable acres with approximately 1,200 feet of Hemptown Creek frontage and a private pond, this peaceful mountain cabin feels wonderfully removed from the rush of everyday life — yet it’s less than 13 minutes from Downtown Blue Ridge. You get the best of both worlds: privacy, space, and quiet, with dining, shopping, and attractions just a short drive away.
Here, mornings begin with coffee on the screened porch, listening to the creek and watching the woods come to life. Summer evenings glow with fireflies, days are spent skipping stones on the pond, fishing along the creek, or reading a book in a hammock under the trees. As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit for s’mores, soak in the hot tub under the stars, and enjoy nights that feel unrushed and easy.

Blue Bird is about simple pleasures and meaningful moments — the kind that don’t need much more than fresh air, good company, and time together.

Why Guests Love Blue Bird

• Dog-friendly (with approval) and ideal for outdoor-loving pups (up to 3 dogs fee is $50 per dog)
• Excellent fishing access in the creek and pond
• Rare, mostly flat land for a mountain property — easy walking and exploring
• Quiet, private setting with plenty of room to roam
• Great value for guests who prioritize nature, land, and location

• Fire pit (wood not provided)
• Hammocks
• Propane gas grill (propane provided)
• Private pond where kids can feed the fish
• Expansive creek frontage for wading, fishing, and exploring
• 10 acres to wander, unplug, and unwind

Location

We absolutely loved this property, and our pups had the best time exploring! Having a few acres mowed was such a thoughtful touch and made the outdoor space even more enjoyable. This is easily one of the most beautiful places we’ve rented near Blue Ridge. The easily accessible creek in the back was truly the icing on the cake. We would happily stay here again!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your pups had such a great stay. It sounds like they made the most of the creek and open space, which is exactly what we hope our four-legged guests will enjoy!

We work hard to keep the property well maintained, so it's always rewarding to hear those details are appreciated. Thank you again for choosing our property. We would love to welcome you and your dogs back for another adventure soon!

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed the peace and quiet—there's nothing quite like sipping coffee on the front porch with the birds and deer to start the day. We’re happy to hear the cabin felt clean, well-stocked, and conveniently located for your adventures. Camp Bluebird has a way of drawing guests back again and again—many return 3–4 times a year for that same sense of calm and connection. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
