Spring Break in the Mtns

We escaped to Blue Ridge for a quick family get away. We thoroughly enjoyed the property and found the location very convenient. The kids especially enjoyed s’mores down by the river each night.

very relaxing and somewhat peaceful

Cabin is close enough to the highway to hear loud vehicles but really not a lot of traffic. Back porch with large swing bed was a wonderful place to relax and listen to the water cascading over the rock in the river below. Very clean and well furnished. Would recommend to others.

We had a wonderful stay in this cabin! It was clean and very comfortable. We had great communication with the manager. The location along the River was fantastic! But it was also very close to so many amazing activities and areas to see. We give this our highest recommendation for anyone to stay and will be back ourselves to enjoy it again!

Great cabin, great location, great stay!

I rented this cabin for a father and son weekend get away. We hiked, did some cast iron cooking over the fire, and did some fishing. Everything made easy the location of this wonderful cabin. Easy check in and check out and a quality experience overall! Thank you!

Perfect Romantic Getaway

We celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary in Blue Ridge. The Riverhouse was perfect for a romantic getaway. The property listing was accurate, and actually exceeded our expectations when we arrived. The Host responded to questions in a prompt fashion and was very friendly. The house was clean and well equipped for a quick trip or longer-term stay. It was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend!

River Gem

This river home is a perfect mountain getaway. It’s close enough to town for all the conveniences, but far enough away to give a sense of escape. Being so close to the Aska Trail System was super nice. We did a different hike every morning. Relaxing by the river at the end of the day was wonderful. There’s a restaurant and a general store a mile down the road. Great vacation home!

Anniversary Get a way

I wish the code to gain entry would be sent the day before as the day of we were traveling and not seeing the code I confused the code from VRBO to access the app as the code to get in the door which of course didn't work. Thankful the owners were next door. Turns out the code went to my spam.. Loved the cabin and we had a wonderful stay.

Beautiful Location

Location was absolutely beautiful and very convenient to shops and multiple hiking locations. Well appointed kitchen and relaxing screened in porch. Our favorite part was eating around the campfire by the river, and our daughter loved exploring up the small stream beside the property. It is a bit of a steep walk down to the fire pit area, so just be aware of that if you have smaller kids or older members of the family. Property manager was very quick to respond when we had questions.

Boys trip weekend

My friend and I took our sons on a Blue Ridge mountain weekend for a getaway of fishing and hanging out. The property was perfect. Right on the river (where we caught a nice 8" rainbow trout), fire pit area overlooking the river that was great to hangout around at night with the sounds of the water rushing by, and the house was stocked with everything needed for cooking, coffee, and even games if we had forgotten ours. The location was great as well. Gives you that "out in the middle of no where" feeling, but there are places to eat and go to near by. Downtown Blue Ridge is also a quick drive down the road, so we couldn't have asked for more location wise. Property manager was quick to respond to any questions we had, and communicated the check-in process clearly. Will definitely be in the favorites list for future trips to the mountains.

Summer family vacation

We made our first trip to Blue Ridge for our summer family vacation this year. This riverside cabin was the perfect spot for us! I felt right at home-like I was staying in my grandparents home place! The cabin was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved sitting on the screened back porch on the comfy bed swing, listening to the river and birds sing. We saw a deer and her fawn up close too! It feels like you are in a treehouse with trees all around and great view of the river. Be careful of the steep walk down to the river, but my husband and I and our kids (6 & 9) didn’t have any issues making it down there. Joy always responded quickly to my questions and was kind. The owners live right beside the cabin and respected our privacy, but were available if we needed anything. One night the power went out and the owner walked over to give us a flashlight to use and reassure us. I thought that was so kind. The location was great too! It didn’t take long to get to town or to tubing activities. I would love to come back one day!

A cabin on a river with good beds!

What more could you ask for??" My wife, son, and I stayed here for 4 nights. We try to do a cabin stay every year around Xmas. Typically we have to cut the trip short because it's impossible to get comfortable in some of these places...old furniture, uncomfortable beds that are too small and make too much noise. This is the first cabin we've stayed in where I've actually been able to sleep well, and what a difference it makes!!The location is absolutely perfect. Right on the Toccoa River. The sounds of water constantly rushing bring peace and a sense of calm while you're hanging out by the fire or having morning coffee staring at the waters. This was by far the selling point for us for this trip.The cabin is great. The couch is comfortable, the beds are fantastic, and it has all the standard stuff you would need. We were able to cook every night, come in for some TV to warm up whenever we spent too long by the river and got cold. The size is great, and the layout is interesting. The decorations for xmas were a nice touch, too. I can't say enough good things. We will definitely be coming back here! Hopefully during the summer, if we can swing it, because all I wanted to do the whole trip was swim and fish in that river!! Thank you so much for letting us enjoy this small piece of nature for a few days.
