Your comfort is our top priority at Raven’s Retreat. If you need anything during your stay, I am available by phone or message. We also partner with Classy Bear Concierge, a dedicated local team run by husband-and-wife duo Pam and Tim, to ensure your experience is completely seamless.
Raven’s Retreat Dog Policy: Raven’s Retreat happily welcomes well-behaved dogs (2 dogs maximum) to stay at the cabin. The pet fee is $20 per pet per night. If your stay is longer than a week, we are happy to discuss a flat rate per pet fee, but we are available to answer questions before booking. While there is no pet security deposit, AirCover is required and must be selected before booking.
Hot Tub Restrictions: There is a zero-tolerance policy for dogs in the hot tub. Dog hair easily clogs expensive hot tub filters, requiring emergency maintenance. Fencing and Wildlife Boundaries: Raven’s Retreat does not have fencing on the lot; all dogs must be leashed at all times when outdoors to protect them from local wildlife and prevent them from wandering onto adjacent acreage.
The "Muddy Paws" Clause: Blue Ridge gets heavy mountain rain, and the red clay dirt can easily ruin rugs and floors. A basket of dark "pet towels" is available by the entry door so that guests can wipe paws down after hiking local trails.
Noncompliance with Raven’s Retreat pet rules: Unauthorized or undisclosed pets will result in an automatic $300 unauthorized pet fee and immediate eviction warning for guests who fail to disclose an animal.

Thanks so much for the wonderful review. We’re so glad you enjoyed our cabin. Hope to see you again!
Beautiful cabin, decorated very nicely. Lots to do, games, firepit, hot tub, etc. It’s not as secluded as others we’ve stayed in, but it’s close to town, so that’s a fair trade off. Would definitely stay again.
This is our fourth visit to Blue Ridge to rent a cabin and take our granddaughter on our now annual Christmas Train Ride. Each visit gets better and better, this was no exception. Host and Cabin was 5 star and beyond our wildest imagination. WE will definitely be back and rent this cabin again.

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at Raven’s Retreat! Holidays spent with family are always the best! We can’t wait to see you next year!
This property has some of the best amenities I have had at a VRBO rental. We had some rain during our visit but never had a shortage of activities or things to do at this location between the pool table, dart board, putting green, etc. Must-book if golfing at Old Toccoa Farm or a family weekend trip to Blue Ridge!
This cabin had everything we needed and more! For a large family we usually pack everything we need when we go on trips we didn’t have to unpack most things, the kitchen was stocked, comfy blankets everywhere, lots of games and activities for all ages, even a beautiful lit Christmas tree and a cozy fire perfect for the Christmas season! They literally outdid themselves and the pictures online don’t even do justice to how beautiful this cabin is!!!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at our Raven’s Retreat! It’s a pleasure hosting guests who want to explore the Blue Ridge area while still enjoying our wonderful cabin. We hope to host you again. Happy Holidays!
I would definitely recommend this as a rental for you and your family! Everything is exactly as advertised. I must also say that the pool table is in great shape. The balls roll straight and true on the table which is rare in a rental property. We had one very minor issue that required communication from the property owner and they were extremely helpful in getting it rectified for us. I would definitely consider renting this place again in the future!
What a beautiful cabin with anything you could possibly want or need. Close to town, Plenty of space, all sorts of games to play, endless opportunities for family time. We had such a great time together. No reason to leave

The cabin was wonderful, plenty to do, everything you could need is supplied. Very clean, very comfortable. The host was attentive and informative. My only note is that this is very much in a neighborhood and provides no privacy. Although it was on an acre, there were other houses in every direction. Not that this is a negative per se, but the listing wasn’t clear on that part and I wanted to share that.

I’m so glad you did enjoy your stay and I’m sorry that it wasn’t clear that we are in a neighborhood.
Thank you for noting that there was an acre of land to cushion the “privacy” issue. As I’m sure you’re aware, there are pros and cons in order to be close to downtown. As you stated, there are neighbors; however, we’ve never had or had any reported issues and hope that this continues. Also, the fall season plays a big part in the amount of coverage between houses.
Thanks again for staying at our Raven’s Retreat.

Why they chose this property
We love the calm and seclusion of the Blackberry Creek development.
What makes this property unique
Raven's Retreat is comfortable enough to feel like home, peaceful enough to feel secluded, while still close enough to all of the wonders of Blue Ridge.
