About this property

Affordable! Cozy Lower Level Retreat In The Aska Adventure Area & Toccoa River.

Welcome to the lower level of this cozy log cabin nestled in the heart of the Aska Adventure Area! While the cabin itself is not directly on the river, it offers the best of both worlds: peaceful forest surroundings and quick access to the Toccoa River. A short, scenic 3-minute walk down the stairs, through the woods and across Aska Road brings you to a riverside deck where you can relax, fish, or simply enjoy the view.

Nature & Relaxation
Scenic Tranquility: Enjoy the fresh mountain air and calming river views from the nearby deck—a short stroll from your doorstep.
Hot Tub Bliss: After a day of hiking, fishing, or exploring, unwind in your private hot tub and let the bubbles melt your stress away.

Bedroom Update
Starting November 17th:
To enhance comfort and space, one of the bedrooms is being refreshed with a brand‑new king bed and the removal of the bunk beds. This upgrade creates a more open layout and a larger, more luxurious sleeping experience for guests.

Walkable Dining & Attractions
Within walking distance: Toccoa River Restaurant, Iron Bridge Café, Blue Ridge Tubing, and Aska Gem Mining.
Downtown Blue Ridge is just 9 miles away, offering boutique shopping, dining, and local charm.

Angler’s Paradise
The Toccoa River is a renowned trout fishing destination. Bring your gear and cast a line—especially at Sandy Bottoms Recreation Area, just a mile upstream and frequently stocked with trout.

Nearby Adventures
Springer Mountain – The legendary starting point of the Appalachian Trail, just under 20 miles away.
Swinging Bridge & Falls Trails – Scenic hikes with breathtaking views, located even closer to your stay.
Lake Blue Ridge – Only 6 miles away, perfect for swimming, boating, fishing, or a relaxing lakeside picnic.
Downtown Blue Ridge – A charming mountain town just 9 miles away, filled with boutique shops, cozy cafés, and local dining favorites.

Privacy & Hosts
From October to mid May, we (Jane and I) live in the upper portion of the cabin with our two small dogs. The rental unit is completely separate and private. We're happy to assist with local tips or questions during your stay. The rest of the year, we’re in Montana—but plans may shift depending on fire season. Either way, your comfort and privacy are always our top priority.

Kitchen Note
The unit does not have a conventional oven, but it includes a convection microwave, griddle, hot plate and crock pot. Also a propane BBQ and griddle combo. With great restaurants just minutes away, you might not want to cook at all—after all, you’re on vacation!

Entertainment
For TV access, the cabin does not have cable or satellite service. Instead, the living area features a Roku streaming setup, allowing you to watch all your favorite apps—Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Hulu, YouTube, and more. Just sign in with your personal accounts and enjoy streaming over our high‑speed internet.

Thank you so much for staying with us and for sharing your thoughts. I’m really glad to hear you had a spectacular time at the cabin — that means a lot. The road did get roughed up a bit after the recent heavy rain. Since it’s a privately maintained gravel road, all of us who live along it chip in to keep it in good shape. We’re already in the process of getting it smoothed back out, and it should be better again soon. Gravel roads in this part of Georgia can feel a little bumpy after storms, but they’re safe to travel and part of the mountain experience out here. I appreciate you mentioning it, and I’m glad the rest of your stay was wonderful. Thanks again for the kind words and the recommendation — you’re welcome back anytime.

The place is decorated so cute. We love the rustic decor. It’s clean and had plenty enough room for me and my friends. This is the first mountain girls trip we did( we normally go to the beach) this was the perfect place. The hot tub was a . I’m also glad the it has a generator because the electric went out for a while and the generator kicked on so we were not left without electricity. ( that would have been scary since it was so dark.) All in all the place was wonderful and Scott was very quick to respond to my messages. Thank you for a wonderful weekend experienced.

This is our second year at the cabin. We enjoyed it so much we decided to repeat this year. We did bring some tubes to tie off onto rocks in the river for some lazy day floating by the dock on the river. We also enjoyed Falls Branch Falls just a few miles away. The downtown area is not far either. We did a little shopping. We saw many things to do but just not enough time to do it all. The cabin is small but just what we needed! They have it stocked for many different cooking needs. We love this area and this cabin.

We had a very good overall stay at 175 Rocky Top in Blue Ridge! The rooms were clean, the pricing was fair, and the listing itself was good.Our host, Scott, was absolutely amazing. He was a very nice guy and incredibly helpful when I called him to confirm we could use the dock.There were just two minor things that differed a bit from our expectations. The shower was a bit strange because it had a very low shower head, though we made it work. Also, the pictures gave the impression that the dock was directly attached to the property. It is actually on the other side of the road. While you can walk to it, the path through the woods is very steep and requires physically crossing the road, so we found it easier to drive down to it.Aside from the low shower head and the dock setup, everything else was fine. We had a great time, appreciate Scott's excellent hospitality, and would definitely book again!

Thanks so much for staying with us and for the great review. I’m really glad you enjoyed the place and found everything clean and comfortable. It was great talking with you. Hope you caught some fish! I appreciate the in put about the shower head and the dock. The shower setup is part of the original lower level, some guests love the cast iron tub, other guests not so much. I'm sorry you were disappointed that the house was not right on the river. The listing description and the confirmation message both mention that the riverside deck is across the road and down the short wooded path. Really glad you had a good trip overall, and you’re welcome back anytime.

About the host

Hosted by Scott Yetter

Host profile image
Hi
I recently retired after 28 years of working as a fly fishing guide in Montana and the Florida Keys. I enjoy, fishing, floating rivers, camping, hiking and cooking.

Why they chose this property

"Jane and I recently reclaimed ownership of the cabin, which she had sold to someone else several years ago. We’re particularly fond of the area for several reasons:
Convenient Amenities: We love that we can easily walk to the Iron Bridge Cafe and general store for breakfast, lunch, or supplies.
Natural Beauty: Just upstream, the Sandy Bottoms recreation area provides excellent fishing access along the river.
Proximity to Blue Ridge: The cabin is only 9 miles away from downtown Blue Ridge.
Outdoor Adventures: Additionally, our cabin is conveniently close to two fantastic trails:
Falls Trail: This scenic trail leads you through lush forests, past cascading waterfalls, and offers breathtaking views.
Swinging Bridge Trail: Experience the thrill of crossing the Toccoa River on the longest swinging bridge east of the Mississippi River. The serene surroundings en route to the bridge make it a delightful hike..
And when we’re not exploring, the Toccoa River Restaurant, just a few minutes away, remains our go-to spot for enjoying craft beers during Happy Hour."

What makes this property unique

Rocky River Retreat has a generator that turns on automatically in case of power outages. Power outages can be frequent here in North Ga. Very close to two places to eat. Iron Bridge Cafe and Toccoa River Restaurant. Also a short walk to Blue Ridge Tubing, Gem Mining and the Toccoa River.
