About this property

Our river cottage was built in 1940. Perched on the bank of the Toccoa River, our house is perfect for couples or families looking to explore McCaysville, Blue Ridge and the Copper Basin area. Our home fronts Toccoa Avenue in McCaysville which means the Blue Ridge Scenic Railroad is just across the road! It's a favorite activity to step outside when you hear the train whistle so you can wave at the riders as they pass by!

This 1940 River Cottage has 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The first bathroom is a full bath and the second is a large bathroom with shower; perfect for cleaning up after your river activities.

Bedroom one is on the main floor and has a California King bed and a Smart television. Bedroom two is on the main floor and has a queen size bed. Bedrooms three and four are upstairs where the 1940's charm and craftsmanship shines. Bedroom three has a full bed and bedroom four has two built in twin beds. You'll love this charming upstairs space!

The living room has plenty of space for lounging around, watching the smart TV or taking a mid afternoon nap.

Our eat in kitchen with new gas stove is fully equipped to satisfy your cooking needs. Sit at the table and watch the river go by as you enjoy a meal or play a game of cards! This is a favorite spot for many visitors.

We have two adirondack chairs in the back yard to sit in and watch the Toccoa River roll by. We recently (August 2023) added stone steps all the way into the river to give access to the water for fishing, kayaking, tubing, and swimming. While you’re in McCaysville, don’t forget to walk downtown to take your picture straddling the Georgia/Tennessee State line and try out some of the local restaurants. The river house is about 15 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge, Georgia where you'll find lots of shopping and dining experiences and 15 minutes from the Ocoee Whitewater Center, home of the 1996 Whitewater Olympics events. Though the visitor center burned a few years ago, there are year round hiking and biking trails available in the area in addition to seasonal commercial rafting or kayaking excursions on both the Ocoee and Toccoa rivers. As the description says, this is a 1940 River Cottage. It isn't a cabin. It isn't a new build, but we believe you will love this little charmer as soon as you walk in!

Spring break in the mountains

We needed to get away for a few days during Spring Break down here in Panama City so we headed to the Blue Ridge area. The house was perfect for our family of six. Three kids slept upstairs and one down stairs and we (the parents) stayed in the master bedroom. The place was clean and cozy. Kitchen was very functional so we could save some money on eating out. We even got in a little trout fishing in the back yard. We would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing River View Home

Dont let the outside of the house fool you. It is a very spacious home. The view from the kitchen window is a perfect shot of the Toccoa River that connects to the backyard. Getting to the water is easy. Its a good spot to fish and if it is warm enough they have steps to get into the water for kayaking. The upstairs is all original wood and is so beautiful. It definitely shows the age and workmanship. It is extremely clean and has everything you need already there. All you need is your personal items and food. There is plenty of seating. They even offer YouTube TV so you have something to watch. The beds are very comfortable. We were only there for the weekend but I really wished we could have stayed longer. Talking to Frankie and Sara was very easy. They responded very quickly every time I had a question. They are very nice people. I would highly recommend this place.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah and Frankie Rigdon

We are both lifelong residents of North Georgia. We enjoy traveling, but always love to come home to the mountains. We live and work in Fannin County and live near the river house. VRBO may show our house as being in "Williamstown" but it is not. We are in the City Limits of McCaysville, Ga.

Why they chose this property

We plan to ultimately live in this home when we retire. In the mean time we enjoy spending weekends and holidays at the river house.

What makes this property unique

The Toccoa river is literally in our backyard and it will provide hours of entertainment for you and your family. Whether you plan to actively play in the river or just plan to relax on the banks and watch the abundant wildlife, you'll enjoy every moment of your stay in our quaint river cottage.
