About this property
Book now for best summer rates! Hot tub-Water View
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.

This was the perfect spot for our Spring Break trip with our three kids - ages 14, 11, and 9. Most mornings they were out there fishing in their pajamas. We loved that the cabin was cozy, had everything we needed and more, and was only a short drive if we wanted to venture out. The kids loved the HOT tub (it was actually hot) and the fire pit was a nightly activity! Such a wonderful place to spend with family. We will definitely keep this place in mind when we visit again!

Fifth Year in a Row.
Our family loves our yearly spring getaway to the Rustic Ruby! My boys love to fish in the pond while I relax and read my books. We adventure out some and explore all Blue Ridge has to offer, but our favorite time is the peace we find at the cabin. Thank you for the comfort, peace, and memories.

Long Weekend Getaway!
We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! The location was perfect, peaceful, scenic, and close to everything we needed. The amenities were thoughtfully provided and made our stay comfortable and relaxing. The cabin was exceptionally clean, which we truly appreciated. The host was incredibly attentive and responsive, making the entire experience seamless from start to finish. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, well-maintained getaway
The Rustic Ruby was wonderful! It was so cozy and well appointed. The master bedroom was perfect with access to the screened porch.

We're thrilled you enjoyed the cozy vibe and layout of the property. Your pictures highlight how peaceful it is at The Rustic Ruby. Thanks for the great review!
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.

Nice clean place
Nice quaint place to stay, everything was so clean, plenty of accessories we needed for our 4 night stay.. location was pretty neat anywhere we wanted to go!
My boyfriend and I needed to get away from the city for a few days and we had a great time staying here. It rained a little bit, but we enjoyed the hot tub and watched dvds. Very much enjoyed fishing off the dock and using the fire pit. Would love to come back!
