We really enjoyed our stay here. The location was perfect–private but not far from downtown blue ridge. The river was a lot of fun and the cabin had lots of amenities! Perfect for kids and dogs. Would definitely stay here again.

The Blue Ridge Cabin was a wonderful and easy stay. We enjoyed having sleeping and living space on three floors, comfy beds, and easy entry into the river. Our 4-legged baby loved the big yard and the river.
We did a good bit of cooking while there and it was great having the utensils and pots and pans needed!
Cara was very responsive when needed.

The cabin was perfect for our family vacation. We loved the screened in porch. It is well equipped for cooking. The setting is very peaceful. The hot tub was a great addition especially after playing in the cold creek water. We will definitely return. Cara was great host as well.

We had a great stay at the cabin! The kids absolutely loved it, and even our pups had a blast. The backyard was spacious and perfect for them to run around. The river behind the property was a beautiful touch and gave the kids a fun and safe place to enjoy nature. The cabin was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. Cara was a wonderful host very responsive and quick to answer any questions or concerns.

This airbnb is one of my new favorites. It is peaceful and beautiful and checks all the boxes for our family. It was very spacious and had comfortable beds. It is only 15 minutes from the grocery store. It was kid and pet friendly. I love the separate fenced off section for our pups. We also really enjoyed the hot tub and roasting marshmallows at the fire pit. Nice lawn for the kids to run and play in. I also really enjoyed lounging in the hammock right next to the creek. We would definitely book again.

Hands down, this was the greatest Airbnb we have ever booked. We travel, and we have about 4 “mini vacations” over weekends throughout the year, so we have stayed in many places. This particular cabin was literally designed for our needs. The cabin itself was perfect for 8 people, just enough personal space while still having plenty of areas for everyone to hang out together. The covered hot tub was amazing, and when bad weather rolled in we didn’t have to worry about it because of the pavilion. The river was more than we could have hoped for, and was the perfect beginning and ending of hot summer days. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals for the whole weekend so we never needed to leave. Also, comfortable beds and sofas and plenty of seating on all of the gorgeous porches made the place so relaxing we did not want to leave. We HIGHLY recommend and will definitely rely be staying again in the future.
