Every so often, winter wraps The Rustic Ruby in snow — turning the cabin into a peaceful, storybook retreat.
Soft winter greens, twinkling lights, and simple seasonal touches make the entry feel warm the moment you arrive. Step inside, and the living room wraps you in that same holiday magic, soft, lights, layered textures, and a glow that feels just right!
🛏️Wake up wrapped in cabin quiet, where the morning light drifts softly across shiplap walls.
Relax in the hot tub and enjoy the view!
🔥✨ Fireside magic under the stars. Our custom swing fire pit is the coziest seat in the house—stories, s’mores, and starry skies included. 🌌🌲

About this property

Blue Ridge Escape! Water View-Hot Tub-Cozy Fire!

Welcome to The Rustic Ruby, a peaceful waterfront cabin near Blue Ridge, Georgia, where life slows down and the mountains invite you to breathe deep. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway or a quiet family escape, this cozy cabin offers comfort, nature, and the warm feeling of coming home.

Nestled among the trees with a small private lake right in the backyard, The Rustic Ruby is the kind of place where mornings start with coffee on the dock and evenings end around the custom fire pit under the stars. Spend your days soaking in the 4-person hot tub, curled up by one of the two gas fireplaces, fishing from the dock, playing games, or simply enjoying the peacefulness of the mountains.

Inside, the cabin is thoughtfully furnished, freshly updated, and fully stocked with everything you need to unwind. Outside, nature does the rest, the ducks visiting the pond, the soft rustle of the trees, the quiet that settles in like a blanket.

If you’re searching for a Blue Ridge cabin with a hot tub, dock, fire pit, and tranquil waterfront views, The Rustic Ruby delivers the kind of stay guests rave about.

The Rustic Ruby was exceptionally clean, comfortable beds and furniture. Sitting on the porches, swinging by the fire pit or fishing off the dock was just the comfy hug we needed. The cabin had all the accommodations with a few extra special touches that made us feel welcomed. Hope to return one day and enjoy this special gem.

Never Disappoints, We Hate Leaving

My husband and I spend every anniversary getaway here. It’s only been the third time, but each time we end up back even if we briefly consider another spot. The scenery is perfect, privacy is perfect, and a porched in hot tub?? Can’t get better. I jokingly said we need to just sign up for an annual membership. It’s our favorite spot.

Little slice of Heaven

Everything was even better than expected! This little cabin is perfect for our family, the beds are comfy, the fire pit was perfect to roast s’mores, and the fishing was great!. My boys caught the biggest catfish ever and probably a total of 15 fish! It has truly been an unforgettable family trip! We loved all the little extras you have put into making this cabin stay feel like home. The s'more basket, the coffee pods, the dishes and cookware, the towels snd extra blankets- Y’all didn’t miss a thing!

4th year in a row

We absolutely love the Rustic Ruby. My husband and son fish all day, while I sit and swing and read my book. It’s so peaceful and has everything that we need. We have made this our home away from home for four spring breaks in a row. We are ready to book for year five!

Beautiful!

We all absolutely loved our stay here! The property was private and clean and had every ammenity you could need! We did wish there was a little more seating as the living room and hot tub only sat 4 and we had a party of 5;however, the stay was completely amazing and we would most certainly return!!! Also, the hosts were extremely helpful and very fast to respond to any questions and concerns I had. Would definitely recommend this property.
