About the host

Hosted by Gordon and Karen Barber

Host profile image

We’re Gordon and Karen Barber, and we’ve been welcoming guests to our Hilton Head, South Carolina vacation home (VRBO #13208) since 2002. In 2020, we added our mountain home, giving us the opportunity to share two very different—and equally special—vacation experiences with our guests.

We know your vacation time is precious, and we do everything we can to make your stay relaxing, enjoyable, and memorable. We’re hands-on owners who take pride in providing well-maintained homes and adding the little extra touches that can make a big difference.

One of the things we’re most proud of is the number of guests who return year after year. We’ve been fortunate to welcome many families back for annual vacations, and we truly value the relationships we’ve developed with our guests over the years.

We also strive to make our homes comfortable and appealing for guests of all ages. Families with babies will find helpful equipment, children have toys and activities to enjoy, and adults can take advantage of amenities designed for convenience, relaxation, and enjoying time together.

Our goal is simple: to provide a vacation home that feels welcoming, comfortable, and special from the moment you arrive.

Why they chose this property

We first discovered Blue Ridge, Georgia, during a weekend getaway and were immediately enchanted by its small-town charm, beautiful mountain scenery, and relaxed pace. We also loved that this special place was just a short drive from our home in Atlanta.

When we found this property, we knew it was something special. The breathtaking views of the Toccoa River were unlike anything we had seen, and the home offered everything we wanted for family getaways—approximately 3,000 square feet, four bedrooms, a recreation area, and a bunk area.

Most importantly, it was the perfect place for us to spend quality time with our grown children, their spouses, and our grandchildren. We envisioned family meals, games, evenings by the river, and making memories together—and that is exactly what this home has given us.

What makes this property unique

A Truly Special Riverfront Setting

Our home enjoys a fabulous, one-of-a-kind setting on the Toccoa River. From the property, you’ll enjoy two distinct river views—one looking upriver toward a beautiful bend and another looking directly down to the river just below our home—along with sweeping views of the wooded ridge across the river.

What makes the setting especially special is its natural beauty and privacy. Surrounded by mature oak forest carpeted with native ferns, our home sits at the end of the road in a private, gated community. Across the river, only one or two homes peek through the foliage, leaving the landscape feeling wonderfully peaceful and unspoiled.

Our property actually extends from the home all the way to the middle of the Toccoa River, giving you a truly private riverfront experience.

Getting to the river is an adventure in itself—177 steps lead from the home down to the river, equivalent to descending approximately 14 stories. But the reward is worth the journey: your own peaceful stretch of the Toccoa River, surrounded by mountain scenery and nature.
