Bord D’eau - A Riverside Retreat on the Toccoa River

Welcome to Bord D’eau (French for “Beside the Water”) - a charming, upscale riverfront cabin that offers the perfect balance of seclusion, comfort, and adventure. Pronounced like Bordeaux (the wine), this beautifully designed retreat sits just 50 feet from the pristine Toccoa River, where the gentle flow of water over a natural rocky fish trap creates a soothing soundtrack for your stay. Whether you’re here to relax, fish, kayak, or simply enjoy the outdoors, Bord D’eau offers an unforgettable escape.

A Unique Riverfront Location

One of the most unique features of Bord D’eau is its stunning river bend location, allowing for breathtaking upstream and downstream views from both the east and west sides of the property. With 150 feet of private river frontage, guests can enjoy fly fishing for trout right from the backyard. The Toccoa River is stocked multiple times a year, making it a favorite spot for anglers. If fishing isn’t your thing, watching canoers and floaters drift by provides a fun and peaceful way to pass the time.
The cabin sits on 1.1 acres of beautifully maintained land, featuring a flat, park-like setting with towering trees, lush grass, and plenty of space for outdoor activities. Whether it’s a game of catch, relaxing on one of the 2 wooden swings under the trees, or gathering at the large outdoor wooden picnic table by the river, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

For the ultimate relaxation, soak in the outdoor hot tub by the river, where you can unwind under the stars, listen to the gentle sounds of the flowing water and let the stress melt away.

A Thoughtfully Designed Cabin

This custom-built cypress wood cabin is designed for both comfort and connection with nature. Inside, the open floor plan creates a warm and inviting space, with the kitchen, dining, and living areas flowing seamlessly together beneath soaring ceilings. The gourmet-style kitchen is well-stocked with cookware and features a gas stovetop with a vented hood, perfect for preparing meals after a day on the river.

Sleeping arrangements:

Master Suite (Upstairs): Private retreat with an en-suite bath and a private balcony with stunning river views.
Two Bedrooms (Downstairs): Cozy and inviting, sharing a well-appointed bathroom.

Guests will love spending time on the 300 sq. ft. screened-in porch overlooking the river, perfect for morning coffee or evening meals. An expansive open deck on the entry side of the cabin offers additional seating and space to soak in the natural beauty.

For the ultimate riverside experience, step out onto the large dock extending over the river’s edge, where you can unwind with a drink, listen to the water, and watch the sunset paint the sky. As night falls, gather around the fire pit to share stories, roast marshmallows, and create lasting memories.

A Peaceful Yet Convenient Location

Bord D’eau is nestled in a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood of upscale vacation homes along a private dead-end road, ensuring peace and privacy while still being just 10 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge. With easy access via paved and gravel roads all the way to the property, you won’t have to worry about navigating steep mountain terrain.

For added comfort, the cabin’s deep artesian well provides pure, refreshing drinking water straight from the source.
