Overview
House, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6)
With its ridge top location, The Carriage House offers outstanding views of the Toccoa River Valley on all sides. This two-story cabin features vaulted ceilings, a cozy great room, and exceptional architecture.
The property is NOT suitable for loud parties and immature guests.
The upstairs bedroom features a queen-size bed and glass doors that open onto a private deck. The ground level bedroom is sufficiently secluded from the upper level, creating an ideal environment for two couples/families. Both bedrooms have their own television and volume control for the house stereo system.
The Great Room offers the essentials of relaxation: comfortable leather furniture and a large flat-screen TV. The fully loaded kitchen offers stainless appliances and gourmet. In the dining room, a long bench-style dining table makes for spacious, enjoyable meals.
The Carriage House offers two decks on the upper level, which provide ideal spaces for viewing wildlife, relaxing with a good book, or taking in the sunrise to the east or the sunset to the west.
Sunken into its own separate deck, the seven person hot tub provides the ultimate in relaxation. A stone patio with wood-burning firepit and picnic table makes for the best of outdoor living.
When you stay at The Carriage House, you’ll have access to several local features. Enjoy a swim in the heated, in-ground swimming pool open from May through October. And be sure to take advantage of the world-class trout fishing on the renowned Toccoa River (we own over a thousand feet of river frontage).

About Greg Spencer
As a family owned and operated business, we at Toccoa House Properties take pride in offering some of the best vacation rentals in Blue Ridge, Georgia. We own the land, designed and built each of the cabins, and personally manage the day-to-day operations.
Because of our hands-on involvement, we believe we offer a professional and friendly rental service far better than that of the typical rental management agency. Our goal is to exceed the expectations of each and every guest.
Proprietor Greg Spencer initially discovered the Blue Ridge area on a backpacking trip to the Cohutta Wilderness in the 1980’s. A short time later, enamored of the area, Greg embarked on a land purchasing mission that led him to 12 acres of undeveloped acreage.
Greg Spencer purchased this house in 2004
Why Greg Spencer chose Northwest High Country
Amazed by the beauty of the Toccoa River and the inspiring views of the surrounding mountains, Greg wasted no time in securing what is now known as the Toccoa House Properties.
During the 1990’s Greg built a small cabin, The Riverside Cabin, on the Toccoa River, and envisioned a larger house that he later built on the ridge above: The Toccoa House, completed in 2000. Next came The Carriage House in 2002, and the in-ground, seasonally heated swimming pool in 2007. Our newest addition, The Grey Heron House, was completed in late 2007.
Our pets and property mascots, Budrow and Bobby Jo (BJ is named for the Blue Ridge couple, Bobby and Jo, who gave him to us, thank you so much!!), may greet you if they happen to be on the property when you visit. While they often bark, what they really want is for you to pet them!
We lived on the the Toccoa House property for about five years (2003-2008) while building the later cabins and pool, but have recently built a new house on a 'very challenging lot' in Chamblee, Georgia, which we absolutely love (inside I-285 with a five acre wilderness behind our property...thank you Georgia Power and Dekalb County!!). Because of our intense commitment to achieve a superior level of guest satisfaction, we are often on the property, regularly inspecting, organizing, repairing, and maintaining the interior and exterior property ourselves. If you see us on the property strolling the grounds, or giving Budrow and Bobby Jo a walk about, feel free to say 'Hello' and let us know if there is anything we can do to accentuate your guest experience.
What makes this house unique
It is rare to have awesome views AND direct access to over 1000 feet of Toccoa River shoreline. Greg has also combined his 30+ years of experience as a builder and home inspector to create a custom home, with excruciating attention to detail. Every aspect is well above and beyond the typical north Georgia cabin rental.
Guestbook comments from the owner
The leaves were just starting to turn and we loved being able to view them from all sides of this gorgeous cabin. The many trails on the property allowed us to walk and walk and walk. We also spent much time just hanging out by the river. We hated to leave but we'll be back next summer to enjoy the swimming pool!

Beyond What You Can Imagine
My family and I visited for a weekend getaway. It was beyond what we imagined and expectations were exceed. The property had every thing needed, the view was gorgeous and the cabin was very warm and homey. I really wished we stayed longer and I can not wait to visit the property again.
Had a great timely beautiful place.
We came up to go to the lakes around Blueridge but found s lot more.
Lovely place for a long weekend
There is much to do without going far. We had fun playing pool, used the grill and hot tub daily. I was so glad we drove down to the Spencer property by the river. It was a lovely walk. We fished, play corn hole, and I got my 'dog fix' with their sweet dog who came down to greet us. The pool shared between the four houses was lovely. We had it to ourselves two of the three times there. The hot tub at the pool also very nice. The house was very clean. We would definitely stay here again and I had many people asking for info after seeing pics we had posted online.
Loved it
The lovely cabin, the fabulous grounds, the location. Everything was perfect. Would definitely recommend to others
Great Place and Warm Welcome
We wanted to take our grandkids to the mountains for a few days before they headed home. We all loved the cabin and the proximity to the river and town. Greg and Dana were very welcoming as we arrived. Thanks for the memorable time with our grandchildren.
Toccoa House Properties ROCK!!
These properties are awesome, they make you feel miles away from the noise of life yet so close to any essentials you may need such as a grocery store. There are so many things to do you truly do not need to leave the property. The pool was great with the best views, the river was close to fish in, and the hot tub was great for relaxing at night! Any questions were answered very timely which allowed us to plan out our day/evening.
