About this property
Location location!!!!Beautiful Log Cabin Retreat in the Aska Adventure Area.
Chateau Althen, infused with personality, appeal, and a spotlight on local highlights like wineries, breweries, and fishing adventures:
Chateau Althen | Blue Ridge Mountain Retreat in the Heart of the Aska Adventure Area
Escape to the stunning Chateau Althen, a three-level mountain cabin retreat tucked away in the highly sought-after ASKA ADVENTURE AREA, just minutes from downtown Blue Ridge and easily accessible via the paved section of Campbell Camp Road. Whether you're here for rest, recreation, or the best of both, this luxurious cabin delivers unforgettable memories in every season.
Top Level – Your Private Sanctuary
The upper floor boasts a spacious master suite with a cozy king-sized bed, a relaxing large tub, separate shower, and private balcony complete with a rocking chair and swinging bench – perfect for your morning coffee or stargazing at night. Just outside the bedroom is a peaceful open loft area ideal for reading or journaling.
Main Level – Heart of the Home
Gather and connect in the open-concept fully equipped kitchen, featuring stainless-steel appliances, a Keurig, crock pot, blender, toaster, skillet, and all the cookware you need. Dine at the table that seats 6–8 and enjoy the warmth of mountain hospitality.
This level includes two queen bedrooms that share a full bathroom with a shower/tub combo, and a laundry room for added convenience. Step outside to a spacious deck with mountain views, a gas grill, and a soundtrack of nature—or your own playlist via the cabin’s indoor/outdoor surround sound system.
Lower Level – Game Time & Chill Zone
Let the fun begin! The basement offers:
Pool table
Poker table
Wet bar
Private sauna
Full bathroom
Bunk room with 2 bunk beds (sleeps 5 comfortably)
Cap it off with the entertainment theater room, showcasing a 70" Samsung TV, 4 recliners, and a plush sectional—perfect for game day or movie marathons.
Outdoor Relaxation
Unwind in the screened-in porch with a six-person hot tub—bug-free bliss! Head over to the firepit area for s’mores and storytelling under the stars. There’s also a picnic table for snacks or morning mimosas.
The gravel parking area easily fits 7–8 vehicles, with a convenient entryway right off the parking lot and access to all outdoor features. (we can keep our boat there as well)
Explore Local Treasures:
Fishing fans, don’t forget your gear—Blue Ridge is known for its world-class trout streams, especially nearby Toccoa River.
Vino lovers, explore the area's boutique wineries like Bear Claw Vineyards(just 15 mins away) or Serenberry Vineyards.
Craft beer enthusiasts, check out Grumpy Old Men Brewing and Fannin Brewing Company, both within a short drive.
Hikers and adventurers, you’re steps away from trails, waterfalls, and epic scenic overlooks.
Conveniently Located:
Blue Ridge Marina - 5 Mins
Downtown Blue Ridge – 7 mins
Mercier Orchards – 12 mins
Noontootla Creek Farms (Skeet Shooting) – 20 mins
Toccoa River Tubing & Fishing – 23 mins
Security Note: External cameras monitor the front yard, upper porch, and lower deck/hot tub area for your safety.
Whether you're planning a family getaway, friends' retreat, or couples' escape, Chateau Althen is your base for adventure, relaxation, and everything in between. Book your Blue Ridge mountain escape today!

About the host
Hosted by Sandra Patrick
This is our family get-away in the mountains. We live in coastal South Carolina, and retreat to the mountains as often as possible. We hope you love the house and Blue Ridge as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
One of our favorite things about this location is that it’s not your typical neighborhood—and that’s exactly why we love it. Nestled in the heart of the Aska Adventure Area, it offers the perfect blend of peaceful seclusion and convenient access. Here, you can step outside and enjoy a quiet morning or afternoon walk surrounded by towering trees, birdsong, and mountain air—all without the noise or traffic of busier areas.
It’s a place where nature takes center stage, yet you're just minutes from downtown Blue Ridge, the lake, and all the local attractions. It’s the best of both worlds—a true retreat that’s never too far from the action.
It’s a place where nature takes center stage, yet you're just minutes from downtown Blue Ridge, the lake, and all the local attractions. It’s the best of both worlds—a true retreat that’s never too far from the action.
What makes this property unique
What sets our property apart is that it tells a story—our story. This isn’t just a cabin in the mountains; it’s a home that holds decades of memories and deep-rooted love for Blue Ridge. We didn’t build this house as an investment—we built it as our home away from home, a place where family could reconnect, traditions could be made, and peace could always be found.
Every corner reflects that intention, and our guests feel it the moment they walk through the door. It’s warm, personal, and welcoming—because it was built to be lived in, not just rented out. That genuine feeling of “home” is what makes staying here so special—and it’s why so many of our guests return year after year.
