Holiday rentals with a kayak in Blue Ridge

This is the best place! Our family loved it! We will stay here again and again! Thank you Glenn!

What a lovely lake cabin escape! Gilbert was communicative and very accommodating. We really enjoyed the kayaks, fire pit, and relaxing on the dock. The place has all the essentials and cute rustic charm. I’d definitely stay here again!

This place was so peaceful and relaxing. Kids had a blast kayaking the creek. The swing into creek was a big plus for kids also. House was clean and loved the screened in porch with fireplace and tv.

We enjoyed a relaxing 3 night stay in Bobby and Dina’s beautiful, river house and they were the perfect hosts! They were very responsive to questions and even offered area suggestions including a wonderful local butcher, for our BBQ night on the deck, listening to the peaceful sounds of the river. This home had everything we needed to prepare meals, very clean and tastefully decorated. We highly recommend this home for your trip to the Murphy area and would love to return when we have more time to fish & kayak!

This is our second time staying here for new years and it was great as usual. It is very peaceful at this property. Very clean and perfect for our group size. We would stay again.

What a FUN Getaway Cabin! I honestly feel we didn't spend enough time just enjoying the space. Exceptionally clean with plenty of necessities. We appreciated there was plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags and we did not have to run to the store for more. Plenty of towels for showers and hot tub use. We are an active family of 4 with 2 upper elementary children and we all equally enjoyed the space. The wifi was excellent (this is not always the case with lake cabins!), the living and dining spaces were large and welcoming for the whole family to be together. So many games to choose from. We visited in Spring, but this would be a great winter hideout as well! Overall just so pleased with our stay!! Close to so many activities. I will note the King bed is in the upstairs bedroom. This worked okay for us, but I did overlook that in this listing.

The blue turtle villa was beautiful and tastefully decorated. It had wonderful amenities, we especially appreciated the well-equipped kitchen. Our family enjoyed the bikes, kayaks and the many games provided with the home. We enjoyed every minute of our stay!

Great location with lots of fishing! Everything was clean and stocked. Brian was a very kind and responsive host. We would definitely book there again.

This place is perfection! Leslie was super friendly and communicated everything clearly. She has thought of everything to make your stay perfect, and we will definitely return!

We spent Easter weekend here. As we drove in the wild azaleas and dogwoods were blooming, and everything afterwards was just as beautiful and peaceful. My teenagers loved kayaking and my daughter liked the pond so well she slept on the daybed on the porch. I appreciated the feather pillows and reverse osmosis water. Attention has been paid to every detail. I called my Nana to show her the antique desks. My small children enjoyed the toys and my middle son using the pully bucket on the porch. My daughter celebrated a birthday over our stay, more movie guests showed up than expected and I just couldn't turn these kids away. Our hosts were so kind. They of course charged a little extra as was clearly understood via the contract, they were very understanding and polite. The lock to the boat seems to be jamed, the downstairs fireplace is currently non operational, and I'm not sure I'll get back a thumb drive I forgot, but this family has worked hard to create really special place. Five star

I want to give a 10-star rating, but the system only gives me five 🌟. Robin's family is very friendly and knowledgeable. We can talk about all new things together. Their dog is also very friendly and I can't let it go. There are also two cute donkeys on their farm. Every morning when I wake up, I want to say hello to them. In short, I will come here again. It is a quiet, beautiful and charming environment. I wish you all the best!

We had the best time staying at your house! The back porch quickly became our favorite spot We enjoyed the fire pit while watching college softball. Thank you for your hospitality!

Great location and very peaceful. Short walk to the lake. Well equipped cabin and is very clean and comfortable. Great comma from the host. No issues during the stay.

Great get-away for a family! Lots to do on the property, you can fish, swing, look for salamanders in the creek and look at the waterfall. Sitting by the firepit watching the river go by was relaxing.

Patsy’s place was the perfect weekend getaway for our family. Seeing it with our own eyes was even better than the pictures on the listing. Beautiful lake front. Multiple outside dining and grilling spaces and a dock. There were only 4 of us but 3-4 more peeps could’ve joined us comfortably. Patsy was great with communicating and answering our questions. We would come back.

This was our 2nd stay at Sweetwater Cottage & the view & lake access were just as fantastic as we remembered from 4 yrs ago! We had plans to do some daytrips to nearby areas but ended up boating, towed tubing, fishing, kayaking, & paddle boarding… never left the cottage all week. We appreciated having access to the kayaks & paddle boards along with some additional water toys available for guests stored in the garage. The kids were thrilled that they actually caught some fish right off the dock! We ate out only once during the whole week for breakfast at The Sawmill Place (delicious food, great service, recommended by our host). We ate all other meals at the cottage (including lots of grilling). A nice selection of spices & a well equipped kitchen were very convenient. We bought food to cook at Ingles but otherwise the cottage had everything we needed for a great family trip (including 3 bathrooms). Loved the trees on each side of the property for excellent privacy.

The house was perfect for our group of eight. We especially loved the large decks and view of the river. Kathy was very responsive to any questions/concerns.

Wonderful stay! We experienced privacy and a peaceful getaway which is exactly what we were hoping for! I will say there are surrounding houses but in our 2 stays this far we have not encountered other guests. The hot tub was amazing and very relaxing. We loved the kayaks and there are multiple locations to go fishing. It’s about 30 min off the main road so plan accordingly as far as packing enough food so you don’t have to make little trips. We planned food and used the grill often. WiFi was great as well! If you’re looking to go hiking there are multiple trails close-ish by. Usually 30min-1.5hr drive.

WOW such a great escape from the city with our family and friends. Being able to play, eat, and just have a cup of coffee outside and listen to the sounds of the river was so peaceful. Chelsea did everything possible to make our trip great- including ordering fishing rods and a tackle box so my young son could experience fishing for the first time. Also the Blackstone grill was a huge surprise for us and we used it to grill almost every meal!

We had an amazing stay! The cabin was beautiful and an ideal place to relax and unwind! I would recommend this cabin for anyone looking to get away, enjoy lake activities, and disconnect. My kids enjoyed the outdoor porch and dock tremendously. This place meant all expectations. Additionally, being so near blue ridge was great! Although we spent most of our time at the cabin, we appreciated having the dining and shopping resources. While in the area, I’d also recommend visiting the Ocoee area for white water rafting, hiking, and recreation.

I am exceptionally pleased with the cabin that Jerome shared with us. The photos perfectly match the cabin and the surroundings are even more beautiful than the photos. The property is very clean and the appliances and cookware are of high quality. The location is remote enough to where you feel like you are surrounded by nature and not suburbia but it is still within easy driving distance of the dining and entertainment options of the area. My wife and I enjoyed hiking, an art festival in Blue Ridge, the annual apple festival in Ellijay, and never had a bad meal during our stay. I highly recommend the destination for a relaxing and fun getaway and I especially recommend the Bird's Eye View cabin!

An awesome stay. Views from the porch were beautiful and we definitely felt secluded but also only a short drive in to downtown Blue Ridge (~20 minutes).

Such a wonderful location! We shopped, spent and ate our way thru multiple states, restaurants and shopping venues. Loaded with fun-filled entertainment. We saw deer and wildlife all around us. (Bigfoot was near by.. )😉 The back porch overlooks the river and was perfect so calming and mesmerizing. An absolute amazing gem. The cabin was very comfortable and a fit made complete just for us. Well appointed and tastefully decorated. Riverside Retreat is truly delightful, splendid and superb! An immeasurable pleasure!

Had a lovely stay in the lake with visiting family. Blueridge lake is beautiful and great for swimming l, kayaking and chilling around- fabulous deck to enjoy! The house had a beautiful view from all directions and super private!
