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 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.
