We had a great stay! The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout our visit. The cabin was cozy yet spacious enough to comfortably accommodate five people and two dogs. Its location was convenient to nearby activities, which made it easy to explore the area. We loved fishing in the pond and were excited to catch a few bluegills and bass.

The cabin was clean and well equipped. The issues were with cable, internet and electricity. Cable and internet were out 50% of the time, sometimes 2 or 3 hours. The electricity was out about 40% of the time. Unfortunately, at inopportune times. It would go out several times a day for 1-3 hours and unfortunately making dinner at 6:15 and did not come back on until 9 pm. A lantern or flashlight were available but not in functioning condition. Did not use hot tub as the deck was filled with twigs, nuts berries etc. If all Wi-Fi, electricity and cable were somewhat consistent the cabin would have been a great stay.G

Peaceful and relaxing!

The cabin was everything it portrayed in the photos. The yard was great for the kids to run around in and they loved fishing off the dock. We had some snow flurries as well a few mornings which was icing on the cake. The cabin is in the perfect spot, there are hiking trails nearby without having to travel an hour. The home was cozy. As a family of 5 with 3 kids in all different stages of life -it was nice to enjoy spending time together without the distractions of life. Thank you again for making this a memorable week for our family.

Great little cabin for families

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin over Thanksgiving! Our kids enjoyed fishing in the pond, although we didn't catch any fish in it, Mercier Orchards apple farm was a short drive away and we caught bluegill there. We paddled around the pond on the canoe and the kids likely would have jumped in the water if it wasn't so cold! It's close to Cowgirl Up Stables where we all got on horses and rode through trails and streams and had a blast! Blue Ridge is about a 20 minute drive away. Overall, I'd say we didn't have any problems were happy we chose this cabin.

We just returned from the most enchanting stay at this beauticabin on Oliver’s Pond, and I’m already counting the days until we can go back. From the moment you pull up, the setting is absolutely breathtaking. The cabin sits right on the pond, surrounded by lush forest that feels like it’s hugging you from every side. The views are postcard-perfect—still water reflecting the trees and sky, with the most incredible light throughout the day.The peacefulness is next-level. There’s no road noise, no neighbors noise —just pure, restorative quiet broken only by birdsong, the occasional splash of a fish, and the gentle rustle of leaves. It’s the kind of place where you instantly exhale and feel the stress of everyday life melt away. The cabin itself is cozy, comfortable, and perfectly situated to take full advantage of the natural beauty all around it. Mornings with coffee on the deck, evenings watching the sun dip behind the trees… it’s pure magic.One night after sunset, we witnessed something I’ll never forget. The forest came alive as hundreds of lightning bugs began lighting up the woods like nature’s own fairy lights. The entire treeline was twinkling and sparkling in the darkness—it was absolutely mesmerizing and made the whole experience feel truly enchanted. We sat there for hours, just soaking it in.If you’re looking for a beautiful, peaceful escape that feels worlds away from everything, book this cabin!

Wonderful family getaway!

The cabin was everything we wanted and more! Tucked away but not 100000ft up a mountain lol. We loved having the extra property so the kids could run around freely! My husband loved the pond and fire pit out back! My favorite was the gas fireplace that lit up with no effort and was SO cozy! The cabin had everything to cook and eat at home. The shower was comfortable and clean and had great pressure and hot water, all very important! Oh! The washer and dryer was a HUGE plus! I was able to have everything washed, dried and clean before going home! Made getting home and unpacking a breeze definitely recommend!! Cherry Log has a very small population however very close to 2 great city’s with everything you need ! We all really enjoyed our family vacation and expect to be back!

Awesome Bearfootin adventure

Where do I start. The property was beautiful, the seasonal change and the leaf colors were amazing. The cabin was so modern and very cozy. There were deer in the backyard in the morning and the fireplace and cool days made the visit perfect since we are from Florida. The vibe of the Blue Ridge area was very relaxed and the fishing in the local streams was fantastic. We loved the get away to this beautiful area. I highly recommend this property to anyone who loves the mountains and the outdoors.

Beautiful cabin!

Beautiful cabin and location that met all our needs. Everything as stated on listing. Reminder to be prepared to complete a downpayment for damages or one-time fee to cover potential damages through a 3rd party. The 3rd party used had some hassles but property manager was easy to communicate with and we got it all worked out. Cabin was extremely clean and we loved the hot tub and outside amenities. Paddle boat and canoe were available but not in water so we did not use. The pond was beautiful though and we saw beavers which was really cool! Would definitely stay there again!

Comfy cozy

My family really enjoyed staying at this cabin. It was only about a 15 minute drive to the touristy towns and within an hour to most of the popular hikes. The road leading to the cabin was rocky but did not require 4WD. The first thing we noticed when we walked into the cabin was how clean it was. The cabin came fully stocked with lots of towels, dishware, and cleaning supplies. My kids loved the loft. The cabin did have a hot tub, peddle boat, and canoe but it was too cold to use them, we got plenty of use out of the fireplace though. We even got to see some deer come out of the trees in the yard while eating breakfast. This is definitely a cabin we would hit up in the summer to take full advantage of everything it has to offer.

This was a very cute, beautiful little cabin. We loved everything about the cabin and location. My husband spent lots of time fishing in the pond. Loved having a canoe to paddle around the pond. There is geese that wonder around on the property. We saw deer and enjoyed the lighting bugs at night while sitting in the hot tub. The communication with the property manger is excellent. All our needs were addressed right away. Hiking near by to falls and horse back riding down the road that was super fun. There is Mountain Side Market down the road that grills smash burgers on Fridays and the weekends that is excellent. Nice friendly community. If we ever come back to this area we would love to stay at this cabin again. We hated to leave.

Wonderful Pet Friendly Cabin

The Property Manager was very communicative. Making sure we were prepared to arrive and understood how to get in. He followed up with us the first day to make sure we were happy and have us info to contact if we needed anything. And followed up again before we left to ensure we understood the check out. The Cabin was spotless and very comfortable. Its located such that we had day trips to Ellijay, Blue Ridge and Dahlonaga. Plenty of hiking trails near as well. We loved the hot tub after a busy day. We didn't get to use the firepit but it is lovely. It sits right next to the pond very pretty. Area is quiet and they have canoe or pale boat available, but we didn't get to use that either. We will definitely be back and hopefully won't be so busy so we can take advantage of the firepit and canoe. Definitely recommend!

Absolutely blissful

We stayed here with our 3 year old for an extended weekend. Everything was above and beyond perfect! Check-in was easy, owner/manager was responsive, and the cabin itself was EXACTLY what we needed. Lots of nice "extras" were provided, plenty of dishes/cookware. We roasted marshmallows and sausages over the fire pit, and played "Pooh sticks" on the tiny little bridge over the creek in the back yard. Saw 4 white tailed deer and lots of birds. We explored around the lake with the paddle boat (there was even a life jacket available which we used for the kiddo), soaked in the hot tub looking at the stars, and used the gas fire place which only required touch of a button to operate 😊 beds super comfy, towels nice and fluffy, toiletries were provided, and the cabin was beautifully laid out! We definitely hope to stay here again soon. Thank you so much for a wonderfully relaxing experience!!!

About the host

Hosted by Rob Stouder

Host profile image
My story begins in the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, where I spent my childhood surrounded by natural beauty and adventure. As I grew up, I ventured out to new places, eventually settling in sunny Florida where I met my wonderful husband, raised a family, and built our careers. However, something kept drawing us back to the Blue Ridge Mountains. We couldn't resist the call of the crisp mountain air, the lush forests, and the peacefulness of the region. That's when we discovered Blue Ridge, Georgia - a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the north Georgia mountains. After visiting Blue Ridge for several years, we finally discovered the perfect cabin on a long expanse of Fightingtown Creek. The cabin's rustic charm, convenient location, and stunning views of the creek captured our hearts, and we knew we had to make it ours. As our love for Blue Ridge grew, so did our desire to share this beautiful place with others. We began purchasing additional properties that feature convenience, waterfront access, beautiful scenery, quality amenities, and privacy, ensuring that our guests have the best possible experience during their stay. Our team is dedicated to providing excellent customer service, and we take great pride in ensuring that each of our properties is meticulously maintained and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable vacation. We look forward to sharing the magic of the Blue Ridge Mountains with you and helping you create memories that will last a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

This property provides a nice escape on the water while still being close to Blue Ridge. Lots of ways to enjoy the outdoors with the pond, paddle boat and canoe, hot tub, firepit, and deck with covered dining area and grill. There is also a nice hike about a mile down the road with a waterfall.

What makes this property unique

Inside our cabin, you'll find a warm and inviting atmosphere, with all the modern amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The living room features a cozy gas fireplace, perfect for snuggling up with a good book or watching a movie on the flat-screen TV. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the essentials, including a stove, refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker, so you can prepare delicious meals during your stay. Upstairs, you'll find a sleeping loft with two comfortable twin beds, and a table that can double as a work staton or game table. The bathroom features a shower/tub combo and all the necessary toiletries. Outside, you can enjoy the tranquil beauty of nature from the spacious deck, which overlooks the pond and surrounding woods. Take a leisurely stroll around the property or launch our canoe for a peaceful paddle on the pond. And in the evening, gather around the firepit for s'mores and stargazing or just soak in the relaxing hot tub that overlooks the pond.
