In Blue Ridge, the cabin isn’t just where you stay. It’s where you remember how to slow down
Just 90 miles north of Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, Blue Ridge feels worlds away from the everyday. It’s where friends gather, families reconnect, and couples rediscover the art of doing absolutely nothing — together. And there is no better way to experience it than from a mountain cabin.
Choose Your Ideal Setting
Do you picture yourself waking to a sunrise spilling across layered mountain ridgelines? Or stepping onto a dock as mist lifts off the water?
In Blue Ridge, you can stay:
• On a mountaintop with sweeping views
• Riverside along the cool, clear Toccoa River or beside a rushing creek
• Lakeside on Lake Blue Ridge
• Minutes from downtown or tucked near the trails of the Chattahoochee National Forest
Whether modern and architectural or rustic and wood-beamed, cabins here are designed for slowing down — firepits under the stars, stone fireplaces, screened porches, and decks made for sunset watching.
Spend a Little Time in Town
Downtown Blue Ridge is full of pleasant surprises — upscale boutiques, galleries, and a dining scene that feels both elevated and relaxed.
Start with a latte from Mountain Mama’s or Das Kaffee Haus. Linger over lunch at Whiskey & Water for fresh seafood, Chester Brunnenmeyer’s for burgers and wings, or The Black Sheep for a long brunch with mimosas. Before heading back to the cabin, stop by The Pasta Market for a charcuterie tray and a bottle of wine — effortless mountain entertaining.

Check Into Cabin Mode
Unpack. Exhale. Pour something cold or warm — depending on the season — and step outside.
Watch the light shift across the mountains. Sink into the hot tub. Grill something simple. As night falls, build a fire and let conversation wander. The dark skies, quiet air, and absence of city glow make sleep deeper and sweeter.
Ease Into Morning
Sleep in. Brew coffee. Stretch on the deck. Listen for birdsong and the rush of water below. A slow walk around the property might reward you with deer in the distance or a flash of wild turkey.
Pack a picnic and explore a waterfall trail. Later, enjoy a tasting at Bear Claw Vineyards or Kerith House, or sip your way through downtown wine spots like 34th Degree Wine Merchant or Out of the Blue.
Dine Well, Rest Well
For dinner, reserve a table at the General Ledger, Grace, Harvest on Main, Ferraro’s Kitchen, or Kurokoi. If you prefer riverside views, head to Toccoa Riverside Restaurant or Burra Burra on the River in nearby McCaysville.
Then back to the cabin — and another perfect mountain night.
