Another great stay at the Toccoa Fish Trap Escape! This was our 3rd time staying here and it was great as usual! We have had great times every time we’ve been here. The scenery is beautiful, especially in the fall time, the river is great, the weather is cool, and the location and house has everything we need. The house is perfect for two adult couples and one child with comfortable rooms, smart TV, WiFi, and fully equipped kitchen. Easy access to the river for trout fishing, nice fire pit, nice lawn with swing, corn hole, and now a brand new hot tub will keep us coming back. Also, the house is right next to the Blue Ridge scenic railway tracks, which is a treat to see twice a day and to wave at the passengers.

Sisters' Trip on the River

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, as well as exploring Blue Ridge and the surrounding area. The location on the river is amazing. We had a great time, relaxing and making smores by the campfire. The owner was very helpful, when I had difficulty locking the door.

The Perfect Getaway

This place is amazing if you’re looking to get away! It felt like home. Waking up to the sounds of the river, birds chirping, our children laughing, to telling stories around the campfire and hot tub in the evening. We made so many new memories. Perfect location, perfect view!

Second stay

Fish Trap is a great place to get away and enjoy peace and quiet but also close enough to town to enjoy Blue Ridge and all its shops and restaurants. Brian the host is great. Quick to respond to any questions you might have. All you need to bring is your clothing and food. Anything you possible need is furnished. We have stayed here 2 times and will be coming back.

Visit to Helen

Brian is an excellent host and the house was everything and more. It was too cold for outdoor activities but in better temperatures would be fabulous being close to the river. Will definitely book again. We also discovered the charming town of Mineral Bluff. Highly recommend this property.

Nice fishing retreat

This was our second stay at Brian’s home. The location is right on the river and the home is well-equipped. We enjoyed using the fire pit and covered porch, and caught a lot of fish. The last time we stayed, we used the kayaks. Very relaxing area, and we enjoyed watching the Blue Ridge train go by and waving to the people on board. Brian is a very responsive host.

Piece of Heaven!

Beautiful piece of property! Quiet, and enjoyed mornings on the deck with a cup of coffee as we listened to the river! My teenagers enjoyed using the kayaks, corn hole, and fishing! We enjoyed an outside fire each night, and cooking out on the patio with the propane grill at our disposal! The house was nicely decorated and clean! We enjoyed our stay very much!

Great Stay

Property was just as listed. Has everything you need for a great stay. Enjoyed sitting around the fire pit at night. Saw deer, geese, ducks, and even a bald eagle. Great restaurants and shops in town. Brian our host was great at responding if we had questions. The gravel road going to the property might be a little iffy for some people but we didnt have any problems. Loved the drive. We will definitely stay here if we come back to this area.

Great place to relax and enjoy nature

We had a great time and really enjoyed the sound of the river. We also had a chance to wave at the train as it went by on its journey. This place is located off the beaten path but easy access to town. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to create some wonderful meals. We played games and did a little fishing. Was such a relaxing time after the hustle of the holidays. We will be back!!

A Fun Time at Fish Trap

Living in South GA we wanted a cool, quiet place to relax and enjoy the mountains. We found the perfect place at Toccoa Fish Trap Escape. The house was very neat and clean , equipped with everything we needed. Our special needs grandson could have spent the entire time playing in the river. It was cool enough at night to have a fire or play cornhole. It was close enough to drive to local fun places and of course the train ride was the highlight. A special thanks to Mr. Yoder for sending me my rain jacket that I left. A great vacation!!

Amazing River views.

My family and I had a lovely time during Christmas at this lovely home. The home was equipped with everything you might need in the kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms and laundry. The river views are amazing and my daughter really enjoyed soaking in the hot tub as she faced the beautiful river view. Check in was very easy. The only thing that I must make you aware of is, if you are arriving at night there is a short path just before arriving at the home and at night it can be a bit confusing and intimidating since its a narrow dirt road surrounded by trees. Once you cross the railroad tracks the home is on the right. The GPS lead us to the home on the left. Once you are aware of this path, you immediately get use to it and it’s no big deal. I highly recommend staying at this beautiful and peaceful home.

FIRST CLASS

WE CAME TO THE FISHTRAP CABIN MAINLYTOFISH. UNFORTUNATELY MOTHER NATURE HAD DROPPED A LOT OF RAIN A LITTLE BEFORE WE GOT THERE. AS A RESULT THE DAM HAD TO BE OPPENED TO DRAIN OFF THE EXCESS WATER WHICH PRACTICALLY HALTED TROUT FISHING. FORTUNATELY WE ENJOY DOING THE USUAL TOURIST THINGS AND PLAYING BOARD GAMES. ALL IN ALL WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND I DID MANAGE TO CATCH A FEW TROUT. BRIAN KEEPS THIS PROPERTY IN TIP TOP SHAPE WHICH ALSO ADDED TO THE ENJOYMENT OF OUR STAY. DAVE CARROLL

We rented the Fish Trap for a family getaway and loved it! Cute house, great location on the river, plenty of room to hang out, watch football and have family time. Everyone loved the hot tub, the fire pit was a hit, the guys fished and the grands enjoyed the bunk beds and the fenced in side yard. We have started planning for a longer return trip next year!
