The cabin is great and so is the location. We accidentally got closed out and with several tries for hours to contact the host, i was forced to call Vbro for assistance. THAT was a major pain to spend hours out of a short weekend to HUNT down the host.

Per my previous message - we do apologize for the delay in responding - I was not feeling well over the weekend and did not check messages as frequently as normal. Because this occurred, we will have entry lock replaced so this does not interrupt a stay for future guests. Terry and Lorita

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.
