About this property
Affordable! Cozy Lower Level Retreat In The Aska Adventure Area & Toccoa River.
Not riverfront—but close! Enjoy easy access to the Toccoa River with a scenic 3-minute walk from the cabin.
Welcome to the lower level of this cozy log cabin nestled in the heart of the Aska Adventure Area! While the cabin itself is not directly on the river, it offers the best of both worlds: peaceful forest surroundings and quick access to the Toccoa River. A short, scenic 3-minute walk down the stairs, through the woods and across Aska Road brings you to a riverside deck where you can relax, fish, or simply enjoy the view.
Nature & Relaxation
Scenic Tranquility: Enjoy the fresh mountain air and calming river views from the nearby deck—a short stroll from your doorstep.
Hot Tub Bliss: After a day of hiking, fishing, or exploring, unwind in your private hot tub and let the bubbles melt your stress away.
Walkable Dining & Attractions
Within walking distance: Toccoa River Restaurant, Iron Bridge Café, Blue Ridge Tubing, and Aska Gem Mining.
Downtown Blue Ridge is just 9 miles away, offering boutique shopping, dining, and local charm.
Angler’s Paradise
The Toccoa River is a renowned trout fishing destination. Bring your gear and cast a line—especially at Sandy Bottoms Recreation Area, just a mile upstream and frequently stocked with trout.
Nearby Adventures
Springer Mountain: Start of the Appalachian Trail, less than 20 miles away.
Swinging Bridge & Falls Trails: Scenic hikes even closer.
Lake Blue Ridge: Only 6 miles away for swimming, boating, and lakeside picnics.
Mercier Orchards
Privacy & Hosts
From October to late April, we (Jane and I) live in the upper portion of the cabin with our two small dogs. The rental unit is completely separate and private. We're happy to assist with local tips or questions during your stay. The rest of the year, we’re in Montana—but plans may shift depending on fire season. Either way, your comfort and privacy are always our top priority.
Kitchen Note
The unit does not have a conventional oven, but it includes a convection microwave, griddle, and BBQ grill with side burner. With great restaurants just minutes away, you might not want to cook at all—after all, you’re on vacation!

Hi
I recently retired after 28 years of working as a fly fishing guide in Montana and the Florida Keys. I enjoy, fishing, floating rivers, camping, hiking and cooking.

Why they chose this property
"Jane and I recently reclaimed ownership of the cabin, which she had sold to someone else several years ago. We’re particularly fond of the area for several reasons:
Convenient Amenities: We love that we can easily walk to the Iron Bridge Cafe and general store for breakfast, lunch, or supplies.
Natural Beauty: Just upstream, the Sandy Bottoms recreation area provides excellent fishing access along the river.
Proximity to Blue Ridge: The cabin is only 9 miles away from downtown Blue Ridge.
Outdoor Adventures: Additionally, our cabin is conveniently close to two fantastic trails:
Falls Trail: This scenic trail leads you through lush forests, past cascading waterfalls, and offers breathtaking views.
Swinging Bridge Trail: Experience the thrill of crossing the Toccoa River on the longest swinging bridge east of the Mississippi River. The serene surroundings en route to the bridge make it a delightful hike..
And when we’re not exploring, the Toccoa River Restaurant, just a few minutes away, remains our go-to spot for enjoying craft beers during Happy Hour."
