About this property

A Sweet Retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Escape to absolute tranquility at our charming cabin, ideally situated for a peaceful getaway yet just minutes from everything you need. This is the perfect location to unplug and recharge, offering a private, secluded retreat in a gorgeous natural setting.

Nestled on a private, wooded lot, you'll be surrounded by the soothing sights and sounds of nature. Enjoy your morning choice of hot beverage on one of the covered decks, or relax in the evenings under a canopy of stars by the firebowl. You'll feel a million miles away from the hustle and bustle, but all local conveniences are a short drive away.

Get the best of both worlds! We're just an 8 minute walk to Lake Blue Ridge public access where there is a small boat ramp and a paved walking trail in the woods, along with other natural trails. We are a 10 minute drive to downtown Blue Ridge with plenty of shops and restaurants and home to the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway.
Explore the surrounding area whether it is hiking to a waterfall, renting a boat or visiting a local Orchard or vineyard.

The cabin will sleep 6 comfortably. There are plenty of board games to play with friends and family along with a couple of puzzles. Corn hole is located on the back porch.

It was a great home for a reunion with my old flight attendant roomates . We flew with Eastern Airlines.We have now stayed in touch for 54 years. Our early years were in San Juan Puerto Rico oceanfront so our stay in the woods was awesome ! Fire pit the last night was so good listening to deer walking through the woods . Blue Ridge and Ellijay had so much to offer ! Great shopping and our dinner at Toccoa restaurant on the river was so nice . Trout was amazing. Thank you . 5 star Host !

This property is AMAZING!! The owners responded immediately with any questions we had. The decor was beautiful and fit the cabin perfectly. It was extremely clean and loved the privacy. The kitchen was perfect for making several meals. We loved the screened in porch area and also the outside downstairs with comfortable hanging chairs to enjoy the peacefulness. The short drive is easy into Blue Ridge. We can’t wait to come back and stay here again.

We have stayed at several properties in the Blue Ridge area. Sweet Retreat is at the top of the list of places we would recommend. Its cozy feel, proximity to Blue Ridge & the Aska adventure area can't be beat. We had a few special requests that Marla went out of her way to accommodate us. You can't go wrong booking this lovely vacation home.

we had an absolutely incredible honeymoon week here! check in was easy, communication was always timely, and the cabin itself was a dream. the kitchen is well stocked so we were able to cook most of our meals, the washer/ dryer was so nice to have, and the cabin had several thoughtful necessities in case we forgot anything from home. the “grass” part of the yard was the only thing we were slightly thrown off by, as it’s quite small and completely graveled so we had to explore a bit to find grass for the dog to run and stretch. this didn’t effect the quality of our stay at all, but was worth noting as a caution if you’re bringing a pup. overall we had a flawless stay and can’t wait to come back!
