About this property
Fishtrap Overlook on the Toccoa River - Luxury River Cabin w/ Member Promotions!
This property participates in multiple promotions offered by VRBO! Member, Mobile, Last Minute and Early Bookings! See which one is right for you!
FISHTRAP OVERLOOK on the TOCCOA RIVER is one of those rare mountain properties that has it all! Great as a Couples' Retreat or for families! Located on the Toccoa River directly above an ancient Cherokee fish trap, with incredible views down river and DIRECT RIVER ACCESS for fishing. Other amenities include new Starlink WiFi - a Fire Pit – 1500 SF Cascading Deck – Game Room – Cabin Chic Design – 2 bedrooms plus 1 loft bedroom, and 3 bathrooms – Hot Tub – Gas Interior Fireplace – Professionally Decorated with Custom Details and much more!
This waterfront property sits on a small bluff above the Toccoa River, with direct river access,! There are incredible views of the river! A straight on view overlooks one of the five federally protected fish traps on the Toccoa River, with a partial view of the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway as it crosses the property in the warmer months. Off to the left there is a beautiful down river view as it gracefully curves through the mountains. The cascading outdoor deck has been designed to accentuate the views and creates an incredible outdoor space for relaxing, reading a book or just taking a nice nap as you relax in nature. A fire pit area has been incorporated into the deck design, overlooking the river.
The interior of the cabin was refurbished and professionally decorated in 2020 and features a Cabin Chic design - including a little glam - with custom design features not found in other river cabins.
MAIN LEVEL:
• Kitchen features a fridge, stove, microwave, and a stainless steel dishwasher, with a granite counter-top, and farmhouse design features.
• Living room has a sectional couch, Smart TV, cowhide rug, gas log fireplace set, with lots of lighting, accented by a large chandelier.
• Dining area features a farmhouse table and chairs, highlighted with a graceful chandelier and light window treatments
• Main bathroom features a rustic vanity with granite counter-top, chic rustic lighting, private toilet room and full tub and shower combo.
• Main bedroom is cozy and romantic, adorned with a cherry wood California King bed with a luxurious pillow top mattress. The fresh linens with lots of pillows, accentuated by a Cabin Chic lighting package of rose gold light fixtures, including a fandelier and finished off with upcycled nightstands and a dresser. This room is light and bright, yet perfect to curl up in for a good night's sleep!
LOFT LEVEL:
• The two sectioned loft features a reading nook and office area on one side, complete with internet. A reclaimed whitewashed wood wall highlights this area with lots of light.
• The other side is a Master Suite and is one of the most unique spaces in our log cabin! There is a feature wall of 1880’s galvanized steel roof shingles, a cream, high headboard California King bed with a luxurious pillow top mattress, fresh linens, and lots of pillows. Light window treatments, a glam convertible light/ ceiling fan with Austrian crystals create a nice breeze. Crack the windows to hear the rushing river water as you relax in this one of a kind space. The master bath is attached, with a little bit of bling and tin added to enhance the romance of this room. As an added bonus, we've recently added an oversized white curtain that can be closed to add extra privacy to this beautiful space. It adds to the Cabin Chic décor, while being a feature not found in other cabins with loft bedrooms.
BASEMENT LEVEL:
• A newly remodeled bedroom and bathroom featuring a Queen reclaimed wood bed, with whitewashed reclaimed wood walls in both the bedroom and detached bathroom. Gorgeous linens atop a Temperpedic mattress and a mini chandelier round out the Cabin Chic look.
The HOT TUB , is just outside the exterior bedroom door of the basement bedroom along with an outside sitting area with beautiful views of the river!
• Game room with a Shuffleboard table, Poker and card table, board games and a corn hole game for the outside deck!.
Max - 6 people, counting ALL children & babies. Not recommended for children under the age of 5. NO PETS, NO SMOKING, NO FIREARMS!
This property is currently For Sale, however, we do not allow showings when our cabin is booked. Any agents not adhering to this rule, asking to see or walk the property while a guest is actively renting should be denied access by the guest and given our contact information. There is not a For Sale sign posted anywhere on the property.
(Per VRBO Disclosure Policies: For the safety of our guests and our property, security cameras are located on the EXTERIOR of this property! There are two cameras on the front of the cabin monitoring the driveway, and the steps to the right of the house, that head to the river. There is one camera in the back, monitoring the steps going down to the river. This is for the safety of our guests, as well as to document anyone trespassing.)

About the host
Hosted by Ellen and Dan Smith
We have two vacation rentals. Both on the Toccoa River - VRBO #1983814 (sleeps 6) and #746521 (Couples only retreat). We strive to give our guests a 5-star experience!
We have been hosting guests since 2013.
We have been hosting guests since 2013.
Why they chose this property
We wanted to create a property that had lots of great amenities and we wanted it to be on the Toccoa River.
We fell in love with the view the first time we stepped onto the back porch and from there the vision to incorporate a cascading deck and fireplace pavilion became clear. The occasional sound of the passing Blue Ridge Scenic Railroad train adds some nostalgia to the overall exterior ambiance.
We decided to give the interior a very current Cabin Chic look with unique design features not found in other cabins or river properties. (Ellen is an interior designer, specializing in vacation rental staging and rehab.) A game room, hot tub, multiple TV's, an office loft with reading area are all great additional amenities.
This property has easy access to Blue Ridge - less than 15 minutes away - as well as McCaysville/ Copperhill - about 10 minutes away.

What makes this property unique
Gorgeous views of the river, while also having direct access to the river are rare in the mountains. Typically you have one or the other, not both. Incorporating a large deck, fireplace pavilion and hot tub make the riverside of the house a wonderful place to relax and hang out. The Toccoa River is heavily stocked with trout in this section of the river, and it is privately owned on both sides, so the fishing is great!
