About this property

Experience the ultimate 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom mountain retreat with your family and furry friends at our wonderful creekside haven. Nestled on a remarkable 10-acre spread, this property is perfect for kids, pups, and nature enthusiasts to romp, frolic, and explore. Step outside to over 1,200 feet of Hemptown Creek frontage, where you can wade into the cool waters, splash around, or cast a fishing line into our stocked trout stream and private pond, teeming with rainbow, brown, and brook trout. Wander through meadows, chase butterflies, track deer, turn over rocks, and relax to the soothing sounds of the babbling brook. Spread a blanket for a family picnic or a romantic interlude by the creek bank, and enjoy some of the best birdwatching around.

Just a quick 10-minute drive from the bustling Downtown Blue Ridge, you can savor the privacy and tranquility of mountain living while being close to all the action. As dusk falls, watch fireflies twinkle and then lay back for some serious stargazing, with a clear, unobstructed view of the night sky. Rediscover the Big Dipper and the North Star, gather around the campfire to swap stories and sing songs, or simply enjoy the nocturnal symphony.

Our casual, cozy home features premier bedding, a stone wood-burning fireplace, an open floor plan, and boho-rustic touches that create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The front and rear porches span the length of the cabin, offering first-rate spots for porch sitting and imbibing. The screened-in porch doubles as an extended dining area, reminiscent of a summer camp mess hall.

Whether you're grilling on the propane BBQ, staying connected with WiFi and TV, or listening to the soothing sounds of a storm on the metal roof, this cabin provides a perfect blend of comfort and adventure. Located just 10 minutes from Blue Ridge, Georgia, you have easy access to local wineries, breweries, shopping, hiking, trout fishing, tubing, the scenic railroad, rafting, boating, and much more.

This property is the latest gem in THE KRISTY COLLECTION, a group of carefully curated, distinct properties designed to offer unique and memorable experiences. Come make world-class memories with your loved ones in this beautiful mountain paradise.

Amazing

We had an amazing stay here! The owner was very communicative to us about the roads (during a few snow days) and checked in with us throughout the trip. She responded fast and made it super easy. The house and land is beautiful. It was such a nice relaxing stay and we will definitely be coming back!

Fantastic!

Every year we take a trip specifically for our dogs around memorial day. We love the Blue Ridge/Mineral Bluff area because it's such a dog friendly place. This cabin was perfect for us! It was easy to get to and easy to check in. Patrick was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. The cabin was clean and beds were comfortable. There was even a dog bed our dogs loved so much that I bought one when we got home. Our dogs absolutely loved playing in the creek. We experienced a good bit of rain and storms while we were there, so the creek was too high and rough for them to play a couple of days. But even with the rain, we enjoyed sitting on the screened-in porch and relaxing. We have high energy German Shepherds, and there was PLENTY of land for them to run and play, especially around the pond. We would love to stay here again next time.

Weekend getaway

It was a good trip, but wished we would have caught some fish. Pond looks like it needs to be stocked again. It was quiet and relaxing though and very nice with the creek right there, had a nice campfire. Very close to Blue Ridge.

Sweetest place ever!

Such a beautiful property. Cozy, comfortable home with great stocked kitchen. Front porch swing is very nice, but the screened in back porch is super. Afternoon nap time is a must with the creek sounds to lull you to sleep. You feel like you’re far away from everything, but it’s still very convenient to town and activities Our pups enjoyed the property as well. Thanks for sharing the beautiful place.

Falsely Advertised

This property is in real need of work. It was like someone's family home they happen to rent out. The furniture was dirty. I had to wipe it down before sitting on it. The exterior needs repair and a good coat of paint. One night at home adjacent to the property, someone had a "shooting" party that went on well to 11pm. It was quite disturbing as it is easy to have stray bullets. I thought I was going to get a partial refund but that didnt happen. The beds were like rocks. I should have read more carefully about the bedrooms as they had no televisions. The living area was super tiny and there really was only one place one could comfortably watch a movie or ball game. This property is not one I would ever recommend and will not return. I will say the Hemptown Creek is nice. One would not be pulling any large fish from there but it was a fun place to try to fish.

Great Family Friendly Property

Our family really enjoyed our week at this property. Our daughter is almost 2 and it was nice to have limited steps and flat outdoor space for her to run around and play. The kids enjoyed playing in the creek and lounging in the hammocks. We enjoyed sitting on the porches and watching the deer, rabbits, squirrels, and birds. The house itself met our needs. My son didn’t want to leave. He asked if we could just buy this place and live here all the time. Thank you for a great stay!

Awesome Time at Camp!

This was my first vacation as a dad alone with my 4 children and our two dogs. The property was perfect, and we had an amazing time at Camp Bluebird, from playing down at the creek, taking afternoon walks to enjoy the landscape of the property, to fishing in the small pond. The cabin was spotless, and felt like home with all the furnishings, extra pillows and well stocked kitchen. In the evenings we enjoyed sitting on the screen porch listening to the creek and talking about our adventures from the day. The cabin is conveniently located to Blue Ridge and travel to other areas like Dahlonega, Amicalola Falls, Mercier Orchard, Toccoa Swinging Bridge, The Ocoee River, and countless hiking trails etc. was all within an hour drive time which allowed us to take in a lot of sights. Patrick was prompt with his communication about our stay before and after we arrived. We hope to come back and make this an annual trip given how much we enjoyed our time at Camp!

Enjoyed the visit

Very nice property; it's obvious the owners care. Very convenient location in relation to Blue Ridge, but the natural setting was completely removed from any hint of traffic, people, etc. Fishing was a little sparse, but locals pointed out that we were probably a month early for any serious fishing, primarily because restocking takes place in April. We enjoyed it anyway. The weather cooperated for almost all of the stay. Would definitely recommend.

Nice quiet weekend

My sister, my dog and I enjoyed a nice quiet weekend at this property. We enjoyed the soothing sounds from the creek (wish it had been warm enough to leave the back door open or sit on the porch, but it is February). The layout was perfect for my sister and I to have plenty of space. The kitchen had all that we needed to prepare meals. Thanks!

Loved it!

The cabin was perfect for our family of 4 adults for new years! It really is just 10 minutes away from downtown blue ridge and several other options to eat and buy groceries. The cabin is on a beautiful property. It has a great front porch with plenty of seating and a screened in back porch with a table or two big enough to feed 10 people. The kitchen was nice and the bathrooms too. The fireplace was a nice add and the bbq and fire pit outside were perfect for hanging out. The fishing poles were there for the stocked pond and we had river access. Highly recommend!
