The Otter Side - Pet Friendly | CreekFront | Mountain Modern Luxury
Life can certainly be crazy. So it's no wonder many people seek refuge in the peace and quiet of the mountains. For one couple, the allure of a secluded mountain home was too great to resist. Nestled in the hills outside of Blue Ridge, Georgia, their home is a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of daily life and is ready for you. Welcome to the Otter Side, a peaceful and genuinely serene retreat.
The home, crafted with great care and attention to detail by a local builder, reflects the owner's passion and dedication. They genuinely admire the unique custom mantels and paneling made from timber sourced from the property, as well as the distinct bar top that adds character to the cozy interior.
Staying in this tranquil setting is a true pleasure, with abundant wildlife adding to the experience. The cabin's namesake, a playful river otter, is a regular visitor to the nearby stream, offering hours of entertainment for everyone as you observe it fishing. In addition, the soothing sound of the babbling brook that runs by the property is a constant source of relaxation, whether taking advantage of one of the outdoor screened living areas or allowing it to lull guests to sleep at night.
Enjoy ample natural light, comfortable furnishings, and wonderful details throughout, including wood ceilings and beams, luxurious kitchen finishes, and even a glass walkway to one of the upstairs bedrooms! Even the bathrooms are luxurious. Every shower is unique and constructed differently. The basement shower is a steam shower, so it is similar to a mini sauna, and the master bathroom is finished with heated floors. From the game room, complete with a PacMan arcade, to the outdoor areas with their gas grill, hot tub, and fire pit, there is a place every single family member will be able to enjoy!
Despite being secluded, the home is conveniently located! Enjoy being just a 15-minute drive from downtown Blue Ridge. You will love all of the fun surrounding you, as well as the friendly locals and the welcoming ambiance of the town. There's something for everyone in Blue Ridge.
For those seeking peace and serenity in nature, The Otter Side is a dream come true. The calming sound of the babbling brook, the playful wildlife, and the tranquil seclusion of the surroundings make this home the perfect refuge and the perfect place to escape.

Thank you for spending your "Girls Weekend" with us at The Otter Side. We hope you had a fantastic time here and we look forward to hosting you again in Blue Ridge again.
We had a great time, this house is amazing! It was raining one of the days we were staying and the kids had a blast playing outside in the rain then getting in the hot tub to warm up. The parents enjoyed the screened in porch and wood burning fireplace. The house amenities are incredible, including all the fire places and the basement gaming room was great for kids and adults. The heated floors in the primary bath were an unexpected surprise! The host was very prompt at replying to any of my questions. We can’t wait to stay here again.

We are absolutely thrilled that you and your family had such an amazing stay at The Otter Side! It truly warms our hearts to hear that the kids had the most fun of all—especially making sweet memories playing in the rain.
Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us. We look forward to welcoming you back for another wonderful getaway in the near future!
What a gorgeous house! Lots of entertainment within and around the property! We fished, caught and released trout, walked and tubed the river on the property. We spent a lot of time playing in the large game room. We played darts, pool, arcade games, and the myriad of games we brought! The hot tub was perfect for relaxing! The bedrooms and living spaces were beautiful. The house was close to downtown Blue Ridge that we ventured out daily.
