About this property

Dog Friendly 10 Acre Retreat Fly Fishing and Pond

Experience the ultimate 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom mountain retreat with your family and furry friends at our wonderful creekside haven. Nestled on a remarkable 10-acre spread, this property is perfect for kids, pups, and nature enthusiasts to romp, frolic, and explore. Step outside to over 1,200 feet of Hemptown Creek frontage, where you can wade into the cool waters, splash around, or cast a fishing line into our stocked trout stream and private pond, teeming with rainbow, brown, and brook trout. Wander through meadows, chase butterflies, track deer, turn over rocks, and relax to the soothing sounds of the babbling brook. Spread a blanket for a family picnic or a romantic interlude by the creek bank, and enjoy some of the best birdwatching around.

Just a quick 10-minute drive from the bustling Downtown Blue Ridge, you can savor the privacy and tranquility of mountain living while being close to all the action. As dusk falls, watch fireflies twinkle and then lay back for some serious stargazing, with a clear, unobstructed view of the night sky. Rediscover the Big Dipper and the North Star, gather around the campfire to swap stories and sing songs, or simply enjoy the nocturnal symphony.

Our casual, cozy home features premier bedding, a stone wood-burning fireplace, an open floor plan, and boho-rustic touches that create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The front and rear porches span the length of the cabin, offering first-rate spots for porch sitting and imbibing. The screened-in porch doubles as an extended dining area, reminiscent of a summer camp mess hall.

Whether you're grilling on the propane BBQ, staying connected with WiFi and TV, or listening to the soothing sounds of a storm on the metal roof, this cabin provides a perfect blend of comfort and adventure. Located just 10 minutes from Blue Ridge, Georgia, you have easy access to local wineries, breweries, shopping, hiking, trout fishing, tubing, the scenic railroad, rafting, boating, and much more.

This property is the latest gem in THE KRISTY COLLECTION, a group of carefully curated, distinct properties designed to offer unique and memorable experiences. Come make world-class memories with your loved ones in this beautiful mountain paradise.

Great Place to stay.

We stayed a week at the cabin and it was great. The cabin was close to everything we wanted to visit. The best thing was my pups thought they were at Disney World. They had the best time exploring the 10 acres and seeing many deer. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic!!!

My family and I had a great time at the cabin. It was all that we could ever want for our family vacation. Location was great! Cabin was great! The kitchen was stocked with everything you could ever need for durning vacation. We loved the fact that we could seat on the screen in back porch and hear the stream which is right out the back door. We loved it and hope to come back soon.

So thankful we found your place.

We came for a quick weekend getaway before school starts back. We brought our dogs with us. This cabin exceeded our expectations. Our dogs loved playing in the creek. Especially our senior lab that loves water. She had the best time. We are planning a return trip already. The house was absolutely perfect.

Nice quiet weekend

My sister, my dog and I enjoyed a nice quiet weekend at this property. We enjoyed the soothing sounds from the creek (wish it had been warm enough to leave the back door open or sit on the porch, but it is February). The layout was perfect for my sister and I to have plenty of space. The kitchen had all that we needed to prepare meals. Thanks!

Enjoyed the visit

Very nice property; it's obvious the owners care. Very convenient location in relation to Blue Ridge, but the natural setting was completely removed from any hint of traffic, people, etc. Fishing was a little sparse, but locals pointed out that we were probably a month early for any serious fishing, primarily because restocking takes place in April. We enjoyed it anyway. The weather cooperated for almost all of the stay. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect for a getaway

This was a perfect mix of seclusion and convenience. The property was quiet and serene with the constant sound of a creek. The pond provided a nice spot to sit and fish. It was perfect for my 7/8 year olds who were able to entertain themselves outside all week. The cabin is spacious and clean and had all amenities needed. We will start planning our next trip back to the same cabin in the summer.

We love this place!

This was our second time staying at this house. It is so conveniently located to the outside world, but it is also very rural and laid back. We LOVE Hemp Creek. It is perfect...Not too fast but fast enough to discourage cottonmouths, and shallow enough to wade through, but you can also take a refreshing dip. Our pup loves the huge well- maintained area and the cooling creek.

Blue Ridge Holiday

We had a wonderful time at this lovely cabin in the Blue Ridge GA area. The cabin was exactly as described. The stream in the back and the pond on the property were tons of fun to fish and play in. The location was very convenient to hiking, rafting, horse back riding, and all the local attractions. While the cabin is close to everything, it is also very private. We enjoyed our evenings by the fire pit roasting marshmallows. This is a great cabin and we had a great time. Thank you!

Beautiful and Relaxing

Wow. Property was beautiful. We had a great time. The house had all you needed to just stay and relax. It was very clean. The creek was so much fun. We hung out in the water played games and just chilled out, which was all we wanted to do. The bedrooms were perfect too with very comfortable bedding. Definitely will be booking again. Thank you so much.

Just what the doctor ordered

My wife and I and our three kids (14, 12, 10) as well as our labs loved our stay. After a white Christmas, we did some very nice hikes nearby, went to our first drive-in movie and later ziplining. The creek and separate pond and the large property were fantastic. We used the fireplace nightly and the ourdoor fire pit on the least cold night. We definitely recommend.

Loved it!

The cabin was perfect for our family of 4 adults for new years! It really is just 10 minutes away from downtown blue ridge and several other options to eat and buy groceries. The cabin is on a beautiful property. It has a great front porch with plenty of seating and a screened in back porch with a table or two big enough to feed 10 people. The kitchen was nice and the bathrooms too. The fireplace was a nice add and the bbq and fire pit outside were perfect for hanging out. The fishing poles were there for the stocked pond and we had river access. Highly recommend!

Peaceful Paradise

As a Couple in our 70’s this property was so easy to walk and enjoy every thing there. Loved seeing the wildlife and the listening to the creek babbling. We tried our luck at fishing in the pond but the fish were very small but still fun. The house was well stocked in fact, better than any other we have stayed! The only recommendation I have is to clear the tall brush near the entrance so you can see if cars are coming before pulling out in the road. We would definitely return to this place as it was extremely comfortable and close to everything!
