About this property

Romantic Couples' Hide-Away-Remodeled w/ WiFi, Hot Tub, Dock on Toccoa River!

A true retreat on the river, this very private and renovated (2015 & 2022) rustic cabin sits upon a small scenic hillside overlooking the Toccoa River with beautiful views of the river valley. Nestling our cabin on the upper side of our river lot, allows the cabin to be much more private – perfect for reconnecting with your partner - while still giving our guests incredible river access, complete with a private dock located on the lower section of the lot on the Toccoa River. The dock has steps leading into the river for all of your riverside activities. The lower section also features a beautiful meadow, perfect for picnicking and a shared fire pit for relaxing and roasting marshmallows in the evening. Or if you prefer, the magnificent mountain pine log covered deck of the cabin is perfect for a relaxing evening in a rocking chair, or sitting in the hot tub taking in the majestic scenery of the North Georgia mountains.

The artwork features a passion for an equestrian lifestyle in the mountains, in calming blues and greens, accented by unique mountain décor.

We raised the ceiling, added some rustic trim and a little bling for an enhanced romantic vibe. New Smart TV and new linens package rounds out our new bedroom!(2022)
The lower Toccoa River has earned a reputation among anglers as one of the best trout rivers in north Georgia...It's long, deep pools separated by rocky shoals make the flow perfect for both trout fishing and floating. Due to its relatively large size, it is a favored water for fly-fishing enthusiasts, and in 2015 it was designated by the DNR as a year round trout river. It is stocked on a regular basis with one of the drop points being very close to our property. You’ll be pulling out mostly rainbow trout, but there are also large numbers of brown trout and a small population of brook trout.
Area activities include fishing, tubing, kayaking, trail rides, Harrah’s Valley River Casino, hiking, bird watching, fall leaf viewing, fine dining, Blue Ridge Scenic Railway, and zip lining. All within approximately 30 minutes or less.
Lastly, we are a NO PETS/ NO SMOKING/ NO FIREARMS/NO CHILDREN property!! No exceptions!! We pride ourselves on delivering a very clean and allergy free home to all of our guests!
Per VRBO Disclosure Policies: For the safety of our guests and our property, security cameras are located on the EXTERIOR of this property! Our front camera covers the driveway area and the first couple of steps. The rear camera covers the back porch and surrounding area.

One of the best cabin's I have ever stayed at. We cook a lot so I would recommend updating the Pan's, the old school Teflon was a bit chipped. Other than that everything was great. We were visited by the local Deer several times a day. Great bed, kitchen, living and dinning rooms.

Thanks so much for the great review. Our pans are actually ceramic coated, but they can still chip like Teflon coated pans. We will definitely have our Property Manager look at our pans, so we can replace any that are chipped or not in good condition. Thank you so much for the heads up! Ellen and Dan Smith

Very terrible description and accuracy of properties location to the river. It felt like a quarter mile walk uphill If you're looking for something next to the river, this aint it?
Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 12 September 2026
We are so sorry that you were unhappy with the location of the cabin on our river front property. To clarify for our future guests - Please read the full description of our property, as well as the captions on the pictures! It has 150' of riverfront to it, (with a private dock), and then it runs up the hillside, out of the flood plain. Every property on this stretch of the Toccoa River has an 8' gravel easement running through it, so everyone can easily access their property. Some people have cabins on the upper side of the road, some on the lower side, some on both sides. Our cabin sits above this easement, very privately tucked into the woods. We think that's the best of both worlds, because you can't see any neighbors, but the river is right there for your enjoyment. (Picture 23 shows the view from the cabin. Approximately 350 feet from the river.) Always feel free to reach out to us prior to booking in the event you have questions!

This cabin was more than just a place to stay—it felt like a home away from home. Every detail was thoughtfully cared for, and the setting was absolutely beautiful. We made wonderful memories here and are so grateful for the opportunity to enjoy such a special place. We can’t recommend it highly enough and hope to return someday.

About the host

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property in 2014 and completely renovated it in 2015, and updated it again in early 2022 - all with the vacation rental market in mind. The log front porch with cedar siding was created to add significant curb appeal from the road and an amazing place to spend the majority of your vacation. We could sit out there for hours, sipping some wine, eating some cheese and crackers, and lounging in the hot tub.

This property has the perfect mix of amenities and location! The Toccoa River is amazing - so clean and refreshing when it's hot out! The fishing is incredible and we are located at a part in the river where it is wide, with a few deep pockets for fish, and privately owned, so it is not fished as heavily as other sections of the river. On hot day, sitting on the dock, dipping our toes in the water or maybe venturing out on a tubing ride - it's heavenly!

What makes this property unique

It's rare to find a property this large - 3 acres - and this beautiful - within minutes of all kinds of mountain attractions. Blue Ridge is 15 minutes away and has some of the best restaurants and dining options you'll find any where, including a much larger city. We love Harvest on Main,, and Black Sheep for better fare, but the little advertised Masseria (owned by same restaurateur as Harvest), is a gem for a fraction of the price. Also love La Pizzeria in Morganton. Take time out for yourself and walk the amazing shops on W. Main Street. You'll find unique gifts for any occasion and it's easy to stock up for the Holiday Season, even when it's July.

For a quick grocery run, Copper Hill/ McCaysville has a great little IGA about 4 miles away. We also love Rolling Thunder tubing company and browsing some of the shops can also be a nice past time.

Murphy, NC is located about 30 minutes away, including the new Harrah's Valley River Casino. Great for a rainy day past time.
