Private Affordable Lodging at Blanche Manor Horse Ranch
Come join us on our private ranch for a vacation in the Blue Ridge Mountains. You will be staying at the Bunkhouse at Blanche Manor, our 112 acre horse ranch located just minutes from Ocoee, TN, McCaysville, GA and 25 minutes from Blue Ridge, GA. We are in the heart of the Cohutta Wilderness with hiking, white water rafting, zip lining, and tubing within minutes, and with horseback riding on site. By choosing our location you will be close to all the activities you come to the mountains for, with the peaceful and serene setting of our ranch. We offer hourly trail rides through our beautiful mountain trails - complete with stream crossings and mountain views of 3 states. Packages are available for staying/riding.

Our 2 bedroom bunkhouse has everything you will need for a comfortable, quiet, private stay in the mountains. The bunkhouse is open year-round. It has a queen bed in one bedroom, a twin bed with trundle in the other bedroom, and a tiled shower with vanity area. The decor is inspired by our ranch lifestyle. There is an electric fireplace for those chilly mountain evenings. The private deck has an outside dining area where you can hear the horses passing on the trail in the distance. After you have enjoyed the mountain activities, you can soak in the hot tub on the front deck while enjoying the beautiful starry nights! If you would like to have a fire, there is a firepit just below the hot tub area, and is perfect for roasting some smores.
If you are looking for peace and quiet, and to cut your tether to every day demands (no cable or internet), this is the place for you.

Excellent, private, charming cabin in the woods. We relaxed and enjoyed the scenery and visited family while here. Nice escape in the woods. Thank you for a restful vacation. The pictures do not do it justice. This is a fairly spacious cabin with everything you need but groceries.
We had a wonderful experience at Blanche Manor for our honeymoon. A week on property riding horses and exploring the surrounding area was just what we needed to de-stress from the wedding. We will certainly be staying here again when we are in town.

Glad you enjoyed your honeymoon with us! We look forward to your return!
We enjoyed our stay. Nice stay as listed. The horseback riding was excellent. Wifi would be nice, but we have cell coverage. Close to great hiking and white water rafting.
We loved the property Nicer than the pictures more room than pictures appear Sam was great the couple of things we needed she was accommodating.So much to see around the area.Very private. We were all female but never felt unsafe.
Very quiet and peaceful. Clean and comfortable. Loved having a riding stable just around the corner (who were so accommodating and nice). Would for sure stay again.
The cabin was nice and clean. It was cozy and secluded. We enjoyed being able to ride horses on the property and saw lots of deer. The butterflies loved the flowers on the back porch. The host responded quickly to questions that we had. The only complaints we would have is that the water pressure is not good. Showers took a long time. The TV is only available for playing DVDs. They have a large selection to chose from, but it would have been nice to have regular TV in the mornings for news etc. The inside of the cabin is very nice, but they need to do some maintenance on the outside of the cabin. However, we did enjoy our stay.
Great little place to stay if you’re looking for something out of the way and off the beaten path. Could use a little updating but otherwise it’s a cute little bunkhouse!
This is our 2nd stay at The Bunkhouse and we LOVE it. It’s private and cozy. My boys love having the wide open spaces to run around and explore, we soaked in the hot tub, roasted S’mores, explored all the fun places nearby, and took an awesome horse ride tour. Can’t wait to come back!

Thanks Carli, we can’t wait for you & your family to come back.
I enjoyed staying in the bunkhouse. At first, it seemed a long way out of town but after the first time, it was easy. The bed was comfortable and I had what I needed in the kitchen for a short stay. I could have used a hair dryer though.

Thank you Beverly! Happy you enjoyed your stay and I will be getting a hair dryer!
We really enjoyed our visit at Blanche Manor Ranch. The location was secluded enough to feel private and special yet close enough to all the activities the Ocoee River has to offer that we always had something to do. The drive was spectacular. We did not get to take advantage of the horseback riding but it was enjoyable to watch the groups trot by as we enjoyed our morning coffee. Would recommend. Would stay again.

Thank you Neil! We’re happy you enjoyed your stay!
Wonderful place to stay for relaxation and peace and quiet! Place was fantastic and so peaceful. Really enjoyed the horseback riding. It was wonderful being able to take walks up to see the horses and feed them carrots and apples. The two cats were great and brought a smile to our faces as we walked. Such a peaceful area but close to Copperhill, Mccaysville and Blue Ridge. Would stay there again in a heartbeat! Thanks again!

The perfect family (or couples) getaway!
The cabin at Blanche Manor is perfect for a weekend or week-long getaway. Just the right distance to feel as if you've escaped, with gorgeous forests and meadows all around. The hosts are incredibly friendly and accommodating. The working animals add so much charm to the visit.
These facilities are in perfect working order and everything is CLEAN! The cabin and the yurts together may for a great group experience. My family and I will be back again to enjoy the paradise that is Blanche Manor Ranch!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
There was a pot left in the oven with grease in it. There wasnt any water pressure. We couldn’t take a shower. There were broken pieces of wood on front and back deck. The grill did not work. It was very slippery and we almost fell several times. The AC was not working properly at first. Every movie we went to watch skipped in at least one part of the movie. There wasn’t any cable or internet. Other than those issues, it was a nice secluded area and the horseback riding was a fun experience. It would be nice if the horseback riding could be included if you stay on the ranch. The people that work there are very friendly. Our horseback riding guide was great!
It would’ve been much better if the ac had been turned on before we arrived. It was extremely hot the first day! The water pressure in the shower is horrible. I also don’t feel that the property and hot tub were cleaned very well. The hot tub was absolutely filthy! The property manager didn’t answer my text or calls so that was very unprofessional of them.

I will discuss your issues with the property manager as the air conditioner should have been on and everything clean and ready. WRT her not responding, her phone was broken and though she had the app on a borrowed phone and could have answered emails, she could not get texts/phone calls to her old number. She unfortunately did not think to provide you with a number where she could be reached.
About the host
Hosted by Sammy Ross
We purchased Blanche Manor in 2017 and have been working toward creating an ideal life here, and would love to have you be a part of it. Our horseback riding packages are unmatched in safety, beauty, and value. The accommodations on our ranch offer our guests a taste of the mountain ranching life, while respecting its ecosystem and natural beauty. We look forward to seeing you at the ranch soon.
Why they chose this property
When we were ready to retired from corporate life, we looked looked across the entire US to find the place we wanted to spend the rest of our lives and found in her in south eastern Tennessee. We feel that our home showcases the natural beauty of Blue Ridge Mountains, while being close to conveniences and culture of Blue Ridge. We are blessed with a location that has outstanding trails for riding, close proximity to all the outdoor activities our clients are looking for, and the peace and serenity that only open pastures, horses, and farm life can offer.
What makes this property unique
Our ranch offers fantastic views, private wooded setting, creeks on every boarder, and beautiful pastures filled with horses. Our setting is truly unique. We offer the seclusion of a private ranch, but have activities right onsite. We are also so close to all of the adventure activities, such as white water rafting, tubing, kayaking, endless hiking trails, and lakes with boat rentals. You are close enough to Blue Ridge for fine dining and culture, but secluded in the peaceful beauty on our private ranch.
