Property Description Property Description

Plan a honeymoon, anniversary trip, or romantic weekend away in this lovely cabin located just a few miles from downtown Blue Ridge with the Benton MacKaye Trail running through the property. Boasting natural pine interiors, charming mountain décor and the comforts of home, you’ll find tranquility waiting with peaceful, open arms.


Blue Ridge, hosting a huge variety of restaurants, family-friendly attractions, and great shopping is just minutes away. When you head into town, you’ll find plenty to do, whether you’re looking for a relaxing day or an action-packed week. For a more peaceful day, browse the specialty shops, get a massage, catch a live show at Blue Ridge’s Community Theater, or visit a local winery. For a little more excitement, Blue Ridge Adventure Park, tubing on the Toccoa River and hiking the Benton MacKaye Trail (Benton MacKaye Trail | Official Georgia Tourism & Travel Website | Explore Georgia.org) are waiting for you. Blue Ridge even hosts a family entertainment center (2nd Story Entertainment) located in a 112-year-old hotel that features a unique indoor 18 hole mini-golf course weaving in and out of 8 individually themed rooms.

After a day in town, the peaceful atmosphere of Trail Side Retreat will be much appreciated. The living room is open and inviting, boasting hardwood floors, and a stone gas fireplace. Curl up in front of the fireplace with a good book or flip on the 55”TV and watch shows and ball games. The fully equipped kitchen provides all the essentials you’ll need for preparing meals in the comfort of your cabin. The dining area seating 4 can easily seat the whole family for a nice mountain inspired meal.

When you’re ready for down time in the great outdoors, relax out by the fire pit, enjoy the beauty of your surroundings and breathe in the fresh mountain air while drifting to the sounds of the nearby gentle creek.

With beautiful and cozy interiors, a location not far from town, Trail Side Retreat is a great 2-bedroom cabin for any small family vacation, honeymoon, or peaceful weekend away.

Loved this Trailside Cabin
Immaculately clean...cute decor, everything we needed was there, great porch, comfortable furniture, beautiful backyard, easy access to hiking trails. Everything was just perfect! We loved this cabin! The only addition we'd make is add an electric grill.

Peaceful Cabin Getaway
The location and cabin were perfect for my family. It was an amazing peaceful getaway from the world. It was an easy process and the rental company knows what is needed for a nice visit. The cabin is perfect. We will be back.

Lovely cabins. Great locations.
It was a lovely cabin and well stocked. Appreciated all the games and stocked kitchen. Nice to have extra pillows and. towels available too. The “Southern Comfort” hand soap was watered down but there was some left over under the sink we used instead.

Quaint Cozy Cabin
Husband and I and our Mollie Rose visited your cabin in November. Everything was sparkling clean and well stocked. The cabin even smells new. I would recommend it to anyone. Perfect for a couple or small family. Thanks so much!

Peaceful Retreat!
Very nice cabin, clean and comfortable. Made some great steaks and corn on the cob on fire pit grill. Enjoyed hiking the Benton Mackaye trail passing right through property. Will definitely stay again.

Lovely New Cabin
We stayed here for a very nice weekend in and around Blue Ridge. You can still smell the wood the cabin was built with when you first walk in. It was clean and well stocked. Most importantly, it had coffee and tea. We walked on the Benton MacKaye Trail which runs right through this property. You can see it in the pic of the firepit. The cabin is close to Blue Ridge and the drive up to the cabin is just the right amount of mountain road. It was nice and quiet out here and you do feel like your have your own remote getaway. I didn\'t hear any cars driving by while we were there. We\'d definitely stay there again.

Great Experience
Our experience was great: quick responses to questions, very useful information (given ahead of time) and a super easy process It's perfect for a couple's getaway. I don't think I'd recommend to a larger family but that's clear enough in the listing. The location: it was secluded enough but still easy to get to, and the BMT being adjacent to the property was the icing on the cake

Beyond Expectations!!
Very professional, excellent customer service!! Cabin was amazing, the location couldn’t have been better. The canopy from the trees and the sound of the creek were so peaceful. Loved the gate at the steps of the porch for our puppy.
