Blue Ridge Escape! Water View-Hot Tub-Cozy Fire!

Welcome to The Rustic Ruby, a peaceful waterfront cabin near Blue Ridge, Georgia, where life slows down and the mountains invite you to breathe deep. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway or a quiet family escape, this cozy cabin offers comfort, nature, and the warm feeling of coming home.

Nestled among the trees with a small private lake right in the backyard, The Rustic Ruby is the kind of place where mornings start with coffee on the dock and evenings end around the custom fire pit under the stars. Spend your days soaking in the 4-person hot tub, curled up by one of the two gas fireplaces, fishing from the dock, playing games, or simply enjoying the peacefulness of the mountains.

Inside, the cabin is thoughtfully furnished, freshly updated, and fully stocked with everything you need to unwind. Outside, nature does the rest, the ducks visiting the pond, the soft rustle of the trees, the quiet that settles in like a blanket.

If you’re searching for a Blue Ridge cabin with a hot tub, dock, fire pit, and tranquil waterfront views, The Rustic Ruby delivers the kind of stay guests rave about.

The Rustic Ruby was exceptionally clean, comfortable beds and furniture. Sitting on the porches, swinging by the fire pit or fishing off the dock was just the comfy hug we needed. The cabin had all the accommodations with a few extra special touches that made us feel welcomed. Hope to return one day and enjoy this special gem.

We had a nice time at the Rustic Ruby. It’s a very pretty property, with a small pond in back. I did not see mention of slow wifi in the property details, so we were disappointed that we couldn’t connect to wifi or watch the Georgia Bulldogs play. Firewood was not provided for the fire pit. Had we known that, we could have brought something with us rather than purchase there. We were not successful fishing as many others had noted in previous reviews. But, we had fun throwing a line in anyway. Overall, we enjoyed our time together, celebrating my dad’s 85th birthday.

My boyfriend and I needed to get away from the city for a few days and we had a great time staying here. It rained a little bit, but we enjoyed the hot tub and watched dvds. Very much enjoyed fishing off the dock and using the fire pit. Would love to come back!

Beautiful!

We all absolutely loved our stay here! The property was private and clean and had every ammenity you could need! We did wish there was a little more seating as the living room and hot tub only sat 4 and we had a party of 5;however, the stay was completely amazing and we would most certainly return!!! Also, the hosts were extremely helpful and very fast to respond to any questions and concerns I had. Would definitely recommend this property.

Tranquil Setting with Fire Pit and Hot Tub

Our stay at The Rustic Ruby was peaceful. We enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub each evening, overlooking the pond. No loud noises. Deer dining in the yard at dusk. Ten minutes from the train ride in Blue Ridge. Plenty of dining options there, too.

5-stars

My family of 4 enjoyed a short getaway to the Rustic Ruby as part of our Christmas celebration this year. If you're considering booking this property, do it! The house is super clean, it is well-stocked and has pretty much anything you can think of that you might need. The location is good - just a few minutes away from all the attractions and action of Blueridge. It was cold when we were there, but we enjoyed fishing anyway. The house stayed warm and we left with some sweet memories. I can't think of a single drawback to this property.

New Year's Getaway at Rustic Ruby

Rustic Ruby was a comfy, cozy charmer close to shops & restaurants & a great variety of hiking near Blue Ridge. ( We missed out on the Swinging Bridge hike as the gravel road was too rutted even for our 4WD Subaru.) We enjoyed the swings by the firepit (we've learned to bring a fire starter log and some collected dryer lint whenever there's an out door fire area) and the completely private warm relaxation in the hot tub with the spectacular star display as night approached. The lovely fireplaces kept us toasty in the evenings, too. We just cooked breakfast at the cabin. Would recommend you bring everything you need even though there are grocery stores nearby. ( We didn't bring salt & pepper :-( The cabin was spotless with plenty of towels and kitchen dinnerware and cookware. We appreciated the hosts checking in with us to address any questions or concerns! We love the area in the summer & all the related activities: tubing, zip lines, fishing, more hiking...so hope to return with grandkids in tow. This was a truly wonderful get-away any time of the year! Thanks for sharing this wonderful slice of nature with us! Paul & Renee; Atlanta, Ga
