---THE SPACE---
Hi! We are John and Jennifer, the owners of BaseCamp Blue Ridge, and we wanted to take a moment to welcome you to our cabin!
This cabin holds a special place in our hearts because it provides so many opportunities for us to make memories with our 4 children, and our extended family – our kids constantly ask us when we'll go back! We are always amazed at how quiet it is at the cabin. Yet it's less than 10 minutes away from downtown Blue Ridge, the marina, hiking, and the big stores.
Our hope is that you will also enjoy spending time here, and most importantly, making the memories that come with time well spent together!

This 2,000 sq ft cabin is optimized for family fun and can comfortably accommodate 11 people. There's a cozy great room complete with fireplace and workspace, and the fully stocked and equipped open floorplan kitchen allows you to cook meals together with the whole group!
There's also an inviting farmhouse-style dining table and coffee station for memorable meals and any required “supervising”! Just off the kitchen is a huge garage space that's been remade into the ultimate indoor Game Room!

OUTDOORS:
”Our kids loved the front porch and lawn.” – Lucy, '23
Off the kitchen is a huge back deck with a grill and outdoor dining overlooking the back terrace area below. And no family gathering is complete without sitting around a firepit telling stories and making s'mores. There are café lights, a bubbling hot tub, and plenty of outdoor seating for quality time together relaxing under the stars.
Lake Blue Ridge and Downtown Blue Ridge are only 5-7 minutes away! When everyone's had their fill of adventures in the area, return to the cabin and enjoy a game of cornhole or watch the kids run around the big front yard (while you sip coffee on the spacious porch!)
“We wanted a cabin that was not too high up in the mountains, and this cabin gave all the “feels” of being in the mountains but with an easy drive in and out. It's also very close to local attractions, restaurants - and most importantly Walmart!” – Kathleen, '23
The location is perfect:
We love how close it is to the lake, and it's also the ideal launching point from which to explore the surrounding area while still being close to the conveniences of downtown.
“The lake is right down the road and it's only three minutes from Blue Ridge's restaurants.” – Tabitha, '23
Easy road access means low-stress navigating year-round! And when our family or friends come to stay, there is plenty of parking space for up to 6 cars, including RV/boat parking. Note: The roads to the cabin are easy to traverse in a 2WD, even in the winter, and the driveway is paved.
And…from hiking and fishing to kayaking and mountain biking, there are plenty of nearby outdoor activities that are easy to get to which will keep your group happy!
AROUND TOWN:
Blue Ridge is home to every kind of activity, from experiencing the great outdoors on Lake Blue Ridge or the Toccoa Swinging Bridge, or perhaps in a local orchard or vineyard!
“We went to Mercier Orchard and had a great time fishing, strawberry picking and wine tasting.” – Tabitha, '23
There's every kind of outdoor sport, from fly fishing to mountain biking and there are the equally demanding sports of trying different delicious restaurants and antiquing throughout the area! Don't forget to stop by Das Kaffee Haus in downtown Blue Ridge for a pick-me-up! Kids are guaranteed to love the Swann Drive-in and the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. There's truly something for everyone – and then some!
