About this property

Pet Friendly Cabin - minutes from wineries and outdoor adventure in Blue Ridge!

Starlite Creek Retreat is a unique mountain cabin in Blue Ridge, Georgia. The cabin was completely renovated a few years ago and combines quirky charm with a modern rustic style. Gather the whole fam or have a friend reunion, we can easily sleep 12!

On the main floor, we have 2 queen bedrooms and a full bath. The primary bedroom suite is upstairs and has a king bed and full bath with a soaking tub and a rain shower, plus a loft with a sleeper sofa. The lower level has a bunk room with 2 full beds, a twin over full futon bed and a full bath.

The kitchen, living and dining rooms are all open and spacious yet cozy. The cabin has an eclectic rustic vibe with interesting art and design. Tired of the same old bear cabin decor? Check us out!

Besides the cabin itself, which is truly a one of a kind property, the outdoor surroundings provide a relaxing escape. Set in a forest lush with hemlocks and rhododendrons, you will feel like you are in a tree house on our back decks. The highlight of the property is Fightingtown Creek. The constant sound of the rushing waters is naturally soothing to the soul. Take a deep breath and imagine the relaxation. We have 128 feet of frontage on the creek, which is a designated trout stream. There are stairs down to 2 decks overlooking the creek, you can access the water for wading, floating or fishing right there.

Nope, we don't have a hot tub. Did you know that they have to be dumped and refilled for each guest? All those chemicals end up in the creek and the water table (where the water for the well comes from), so we don't think it's worth it.

The name of the cabin "Starlite" comes from a mineral (the state mineral of Georgia) that is found in several boulders that we have on the property by the creek. This mineral is Staurolite, sometimes called "fairy crosses" and looks like 2 black crystals making a cross. This is somewhat rare and is thought to have healing and calming properties.

The town of Blue Ridge and the surrounding areas offer outdoor adventure, boutique shopping and treasure hunting, dining, horseback riding, vineyards, breweries, beautiful mountain scenery and much more!
We are also close to Ellijay and McCaysville which are cool mountain towns with their own vibe.

Mimi Family Reunion
This was the perfect getaway for our mini reunion! We flew in to Atlanta from South Florida and rented 2 cars to bring us there. The checkin was amazing and smooth, the host was quick to answer any questions. The property is AMAZING! It was great to unwind, leaving all social media behind and be able to just relax and enjoy! We would love to come back here in the summer to tube!

Family Vkay
We had a great time staying in this cabin, the 10 of us had a great time playing in the creek. The stairs to the creek aren’t for the faint of heart lol but it was an amazing place to hang out with the family for the day. The location is perfect still close to things but so quite and peaceful.

About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I have enjoyed visiting the north Georgia mountains for many years and in 2016 we made our dream to have our own mountain home a reality. We are happy to share our love of the peaceful mountain life with our guests!

Why they chose this property

The house has a rustic cozy feel that we like and there's room for friends and family to spend time with. The decks are our favorite place to hang out and we absolutely love the sound and energy of the rushing water of Fightingtown Creek.
