Description Description

REEL MEDICINE is just what the doctor ordered for a get away from the hectic lives we all live. Reel Medicine is a very private and mostly secluded Blue Ridge cabin rental that sits just feet away from the banks of rushing Big Creek. As you get to the property you will notice the coziness that meets you as you cross the beautiful "Old Covered Bridge." The cabin is tucked under a great canopy of large hemlock, pine, and soaring hardwoods that provide shade as you fish.

On your way to Reel Medicine, you will pass Lake Blue Ridge, for boating and fishing, drive along the upper Toccoa River, for trout fishing (in the trout capital of Georgia) and tubing, and Shallowford Bridge, which is a staple in the community that is known for having great adventure in the area. There is Shallowford Bridge tube rentals and Toccoa Valley Campground for tubing, both within 5-7 minutes from the cabin. You will also pass the famed Toccoa Riverside Restaurant, great for outdoor dining on the banks of the Toccoa River. Also, close by the cabin is the Benton McKaye hiking trail, the largest spur of The Appalachian Trail, Toccoa River Swinging Bridge, and several waterfall hiking trails, including Sea Creek Falls, Fall Branch Falls, and Amicalola Falls (a 729 foot tall waterfall). This cabin is in the "Aska Adventure Area" and is right in the middle of all of the action of outdoor fun.

The cabin itself is very inviting once you walk thru the doors. Upon entering you will see the vaulted ceilings in the living room and dining room, providing an expansive feel, a very warm and welcoming living area, with a floor to ceiling rock real wood burning fireplace, and comfortable living room furniture. To the right you will find an eight person dining table and a lovely sitting area, perfect for book reading and having some alone time while taking in the view of the back yard. There are two bedrooms on the main floor and one bath, one bedroom with a queen bed. You will also find a king bed and two twin XL beds, perfect for the king or queen in your family and the kids.

On the main floor you will also find one full bath and a laundry room with a full-size front load washer and dryer. Also on the main floor is an updated and fully stocked kitchen, with stainless appliances and all the comforts of home. Enjoy movie night in front of the HD TV, or choose an old favorite from the DVD library. Prefer gaming? Check out the game library while during your stay, and remember - WiFi is always free!

Upstairs is the complete master suite. There is a king size bed, a full bath, walk in cedar lined closet, and cozy sitting area. which overlooks the living area below.

Don't forget to spend some time outdoors - it's what makes this cabin great! You have easy access to the cool waters of Big Creek from just about anywhere in the yard, so make sure you bring your fishing pole along for your journey! Make yummy s'mores around the fire pit, complete with a sitting area where you can enjoy your treat. Also, there is a hammock to rest and enjoy the beautiful sounds of the rushing creek any time of day. The back yard also has its very own walking trail with a foot bridge, which is well-lit for evening strolls with your honey. Gaze at the small pasture just across the creek, and let your worries wash away knowing your rental is secluded from curious eyes. After a long day of fishing, soak your bones in the hot tub on the screened-in porch before turning in for a relaxing night of sleep.

Important Info on Big Creek - Reel Medicine's creek is a native trout stream, and is one of the great trout habitat's in all of North Georgia. The trout flourish in the cool, oxygen-rich waters. Fly fishing is the only allowable style of fishing in this small stream, and we ask that you release any fish that you catch.

So come and enjoy the refreshing sights, sounds, and feeling of "REEL MEDICINE", it's just what the doctor ordered!

Perfect Location for Reflection & Relaxation
Great selection of vacation cabins and helpful, friendly staff. It was the perfect place to get away and relax. I needed a place where I could have peace and quiet, where I could have time to myself for reflection and relaxation. I enjoyed the solitude, the mountain stream, and the fire pit.

Our Secon Trip to This Cabin!
Our second trip to this cabin. We love it. Our favorite part was the stream and the hammock. And of course the hot tub.

One of Our Favorite Cabins
Reel Medicine was exactly what our family had hoped for. It was a beautiful, well appointed cabin nestled deep in the mountain woods. The incredible outdoor areas provided hours of outdoor family time. This was one of our favorite cabins we have stayed in. This cabin was beautiful! You can tell a lot of time has been put in to creating an enchanting outdoor area. We spent more time on the large porch and river-side backyard than anywhere else. The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and everything was so clean.

Great Customer Service We Will Be Back Soon
We enjoyed our stay at Reel Medicine. It was the test and relaxation we needed. While several small issues arise, the staff were quick to assist and each was addressed to our satisfaction. Great customer service and communication. We'll be back soon! Thank you for a great weekend!

Best of Both Worlds
We are already planning our next adventure here! The space was beautiful and the location was the best of both worlds. We enjoyed our time by the river, and had a lot of privacy with some scattered cabins around us. We were just minutes from major shopping but completely tucked up in the cabins natural setting. Also the team was delightful

Ahh - Mazing & Magical
Reel Medicine is amazing! We've stayed there twice now and will stay again! The rooms are a great size, esp. that master loft, the dining table was wonderful for meals and board & card games, the screened-in porch was divine, the hot tub was magical and the fire pit and the roasted marshmallows brought back memories of summer camp. We enjoyed corn hole and bimini and some other games on site with the grandkids. The rushing waters were so soothing and peaceful. We loved feeding the "hidden" fish... so interesting. I could read by that water all day long... and did! :) Please ask the owners to never remove this cabin from the rental program... and if they decide to sell, let us know! Ha! We love it that much! Thank you for a wonderful vacation away from work and the pandemic and all the other distractions of real life, not to mention 2020! We had a fabulous time!

A Wonderful Cabin!
We are extremely likely to recommend SCCR to all our friends and family we had a fabulous time even with the few issues we had. We will totally recommend Reel Medicine to anyone it was an absolutely wonderful cabin. I spoke with Holly before our check in and she was polite and had us moved to a new cabin in just a few mins. I spoke with Brendan on our first night he was very helpful and he sent out Ryan who was completely fabulous he had us fixed up in no time and when Ryan had to come back on Easter Sunday he was an absolute rock star who fixed the stinky water issue quickly and I swear he deserves a raise.

Perfect Little Spot
We want to book this cabin again next Summer. It is a perfect spot to do a puzzle, read, relax on the hammock, or just listen to the water. We enjoyed how close it is to tubing and great food.
