This is a beautiful house, all was as advertised on Vrbo. The kitchen was well appointed, including having enough supplies in the way of dish soap, paper towels, trash bags, etc., which isn't always the case. The area is remote, deep in the woods, yet close to the town of Blue Ridge. We were a family of grandparents down to a two year old, and we all enjoyed the house. We would definitely recommend it and would return.

Family Mountain Getaway

The cabin was spacious with wonderful views in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It’s 3 stories and had more than enough room for our family of 6. We took advantage of the foosball, pool, firepit, hiking, and all that the town of Blue Ridge has to offer. We highly recommend this VRBO.

Friends Getaway

The property was very clean and a short drive into town. We could not have asked for a better place to rent for a short friends getaway. Also, the mattresses are to die for. We actually took a picture of the one in the master bedroom and will be ordereing one for our home.

Great weekend cabin in Blue Ridge!

We had a group of friends getting together in Blue Ridge and stayed at Shade Tree Lodge. This was such a perfect cabin! Everything was spotless and clean on arrival. All the amenities were working and they had even put up a Christmas tree for the Holidays which was a really nice touch. It was close enough to town that we were able to pop back and forth as needed, but really enjoyed the peace and quiet out at the cabin. I hope we are able to come back and stay again.

Great place to stay! It had everything we had looked for in a place to spend some quality time with our kids and grand-babies. It was a beautiful place with plenty of space for everyone. Our kids enjoyed playing pool, the grandchildren enjoyed playing with the toys, we enjoyed relaxing on the deck, and would have enjoyed sitting by the fire pit but the weather was a little too cool for the babies. We enjoyed our stay very much!

About the host

Hosted by Robert T. Pardue

Host profile image
My wife and I move to Blue Ridge Ga. 6 years ago after a couple years of vacationing here. We lived in Naples Fl. for 26 years and never thought we would leave Naples, but we found Blue Ridge to be just what we needed at this time in our lives. Life in the mountains is wonderful.

Why they chose this property

This property was our home when we first moved to Blue Ridge, we loved the cabin so much we built the same cabin a short distance away. The cabin has plenty of room, 3200 feet, with 4 bedrooms, 3 bath, large great room on 2 levels, with televisions in all bedrooms, 65 inch television on lower level with pool table and rock gas fireplace. Very close to Downtown shopping, train ride, and restaurants.

What makes this property unique

We think you will love the cabin as much as we do and one of the best things is the location.....2 miles to city limits of Blue Ridge.
