Vacation rentals with a kayak in Blue Ridge Lake

My family loved Jessica’s house. Easy access to the river, and there’s a nice 1/2 mile loop we could do with our pup. House is beautiful- enjoyed the hot tub, pool table and sauna. She has a fire pit down the steps by the river that looked amazing- just a little too cold when we visited. Would 100% stay here again. Jessica as a host was very easy to communicate with. Check in was a breeze and she resolved a very minor issue promptly which we greatly appreciated.

I’m tempted to write a bad review so more dates will be available when I’m ready to come back. This was our 2nd visit and it was great again. So much to do without leaving the house. Fishing, kayaking, volleyball, badminton, ping pong, foosball, fire pit, board games, etc. Great price too! The only problem this time was that the WiFi was a bit spotty, even after a couple resets. Probably for the best though! Looking forward to our next visit soon hopefully.

Ruth was a wonderful host and communicated well. Her lake house was beautiful even though it rained the whole weekend but we definitely enjoyed our stay. Definitely recommend her house.

We had a wonderful time staying here. This charming cabin has everything you will need for your stay! Its so cozy and fun and the host really did think of it all when it comes to accommodating to guests. From a little charging station for your devices, to a tv in every room, kayaks, grill, a hot tub this place really does have it all!! We had so much fun. The porch was my absolute favorite spot to be. We had a fantastic time!! I was so sad to leave. We will for sure be back!!

We enjoyed a relaxing 3 night stay in Bobby and Dina’s beautiful, river house and they were the perfect hosts! They were very responsive to questions and even offered area suggestions including a wonderful local butcher, for our BBQ night on the deck, listening to the peaceful sounds of the river. This home had everything we needed to prepare meals, very clean and tastefully decorated. We highly recommend this home for your trip to the Murphy area and would love to return when we have more time to fish & kayak!

What a FUN Getaway Cabin! I honestly feel we didn't spend enough time just enjoying the space. Exceptionally clean with plenty of necessities. We appreciated there was plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags and we did not have to run to the store for more. Plenty of towels for showers and hot tub use. We are an active family of 4 with 2 upper elementary children and we all equally enjoyed the space. The wifi was excellent (this is not always the case with lake cabins!), the living and dining spaces were large and welcoming for the whole family to be together. So many games to choose from. We visited in Spring, but this would be a great winter hideout as well! Overall just so pleased with our stay!! Close to so many activities. I will note the King bed is in the upstairs bedroom. This worked okay for us, but I did overlook that in this listing.

Blue Turtle Villa was perfect for our group of 7 plus our dog. The layout was perfect with plenty of bathrooms (with big fluffy robes in all of them!) and an open floor plan. The upstairs loft area was great for our kids to play video games during downtime. We cooked several meals in the well-appointed kitchen and were able to take advantage of the beautiful weather and dine outside on the lovely patio. The backyard was my favorite part of the house with a firepit, clean hot tub, and great views of the amazing surroundings. The house is about as close to being in a national forest as possible. Allie thought of everything when stocking this house - they not only had several kayaks/paddleboards available but they all were fully functional and they had all the accessories you could want/need (life jackets of all sizes, wet bags, even a handy rolling cart to help haul it all down to the lake!). Beautiful area with tons to do if you love nature and hiking like us! Highly recommend.

Can't say enough good things about our stay at the house! Great space, beautiful outdoor area and fire pit & love the view of the river. We had an issue (nothing with the house) & the caretaker and owner were so thoughtful and kind to our family. We would love to come back and stay!

Patsy’s place was the perfect weekend getaway for our family. Seeing it with our own eyes was even better than the pictures on the listing. Beautiful lake front. Multiple outside dining and grilling spaces and a dock. There were only 4 of us but 3-4 more peeps could’ve joined us comfortably. Patsy was great with communicating and answering our questions. We would come back.

We spent Easter weekend here. As we drove in the wild azaleas and dogwoods were blooming, and everything afterwards was just as beautiful and peaceful. My teenagers loved kayaking and my daughter liked the pond so well she slept on the daybed on the porch. I appreciated the feather pillows and reverse osmosis water. Attention has been paid to every detail. I called my Nana to show her the antique desks. My small children enjoyed the toys and my middle son using the pully bucket on the porch. My daughter celebrated a birthday over our stay, more movie guests showed up than expected and I just couldn't turn these kids away. Our hosts were so kind. They of course charged a little extra as was clearly understood via the contract, they were very understanding and polite. The lock to the boat seems to be jamed, the downstairs fireplace is currently non operational, and I'm not sure I'll get back a thumb drive I forgot, but this family has worked hard to create really special place. Five star

We had the best time staying at your house! The back porch quickly became our favorite spot We enjoyed the fire pit while watching college softball. Thank you for your hospitality!

Great location and very peaceful. Short walk to the lake. Well equipped cabin and is very clean and comfortable. Great comma from the host. No issues during the stay.

Great get-away for a family! Lots to do on the property, you can fish, swing, look for salamanders in the creek and look at the waterfall. Sitting by the firepit watching the river go by was relaxing.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very comfortable and in a peaceful location. The view of the river was wonderful and we even got to wave as the train passed by a couple of times. The host responded quickly and even sent someone over to fix a couple of minor items. The kids enjoyed the video games, playing pool, and watching one of the multiple TVs. We also enjoyed a visit to Amicalola Falls (about an hour drive) and Mercier Orchards (a short drive). The friendly neighbors recommended Grace Prime Steakhouse in Blue Ridge. We went for dinner and the service and food were awesome. We wished we could have stayed longer.

WOW such a great escape from the city with our family and friends. Being able to play, eat, and just have a cup of coffee outside and listen to the sounds of the river was so peaceful. Chelsea did everything possible to make our trip great- including ordering fishing rods and a tackle box so my young son could experience fishing for the first time. Also the Blackstone grill was a huge surprise for us and we used it to grill almost every meal!

This was our 2nd stay and it was even better the 2nd time. Pool is amazing, lots to do in the basement. Our grandkids enjoyed the watch tower, the pool, and all of the fun things to do in the basement. Lots of variety for the different ages. Kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, and utensils. Plenty of room for everyone. Enjoyed grilling out. You never have to leave the house as it has everything you need. We chose to go into town for dinner at The Roof and it was great food with great view of the mountains. We look forward to returning next year!

Truly, a beautiful place to make memories… The lake is gorgeous, there are so many amenities at this property not just all the water sports equipment. But the fire-pit, sitting out there in the evenings, watching the sunset, blissful. The property is incredibly well equipped, the host, incredibly responsive and kind. It really was an absolute joy for my family to stay there. I cannot recommend this home enough. Book this one, you won’t be disappointed.

River Zen was a perfect fit for our family of 4 to enjoy our first trip to Blue Ridge. The location was great, the cabin was beautifully decorated and comfortable, and the host was super helpful and responsive. Our family enjoyed our 4 nights at River Zen right on the beautiful Toccoa River.

I am exceptionally pleased with the cabin that Jerome shared with us. The photos perfectly match the cabin and the surroundings are even more beautiful than the photos. The property is very clean and the appliances and cookware are of high quality. The location is remote enough to where you feel like you are surrounded by nature and not suburbia but it is still within easy driving distance of the dining and entertainment options of the area. My wife and I enjoyed hiking, an art festival in Blue Ridge, the annual apple festival in Ellijay, and never had a bad meal during our stay. I highly recommend the destination for a relaxing and fun getaway and I especially recommend the Bird's Eye View cabin!

Oliver’s home was the perfect getaway for our Memorial Day weekend. The location was right on the lake and you can’t beat the amenities. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend getaway!

Nice little cabin for a couples weekend getaway. If getting away from everything is your goal then this cabin will do the trick. Enjoyed the fireplace and just taking in the weekend.
