About this property

Colby's Cabin- Pet Friendly | Creek Access | Screened Porch

You have a lot to consider when choosing a Blue Ridge cabin rental. You want a great location, spectacular setting, warm and welcoming ambiance, and enough room for everyone to relax, explore and enjoy the surroundings and each other. Well, look no further because you'll find all that and more at Colby's Cabin.

Beautifully designed and decorated in rustic style with a comfortable, cozy and inviting feel, this spacious cabin has all the amenities of a home away from home and the privacy and beauty of your own private wooded oasis. Just 10 miles from the shops and restaurants of downtown Blue Ridge, 5 minute drive to Lake Blue Ridge, and close to hiking and biking trails and the Toccoa River for kayaking and fishing, this hillside showplace is nestled among towering trees, amid thousands of forested acres, with a creek running through the property.

The owner bought the cabin to give his Siberian husky Colby a safe, fun place to run free and enjoy nature, and you're invited to do the same with your canine best friends (as long as they're flea-free). Enjoy the fresh mountain air as you relax in the incredible outdoor living space, with its roomy decks, ample seating, and screened-in porch that features a wood-burning fireplace and 55” flat screen TV. There's a gas grill, swing chairs, a hot tub with room for six, and down below, a fire pit, perfect for roasting marshmallows and making s'mores.

Inside, the cabin is airy and open, with a nature theme (notice the bear accents) and comfy furniture that invites you to kick back and relax. You can warm yourself in front of the gas fireplaces and enormous flat screen TVs on the main and lower levels, equipped with DirecTV. The game room offers a pool table, PlayStation3 with games, Blu-ray player, and sound bar for your entertainment pleasure. At mealtime, you'll find everything you need in the fully equipped kitchen, outfitted with stainless steel gas appliances, wood cabinets, granite countertops, and track lighting. The dining table seats six.

Have a big family or group of friends? No problem. Colby's Cabin can accommodate 8 guests in its four bedrooms. The main floor master bedroom has a king bed, deck access, 40” flat screen TV and private bath with jetted tub and shower. The second main floor bedroom, also with king bed and deck access, has a 32” flat screen TV and adjacent bath with walk-in shower and washer/dryer. Downstairs, both bedrooms feature queen beds, 32” flatscreen TVs, and share a bath with tub/shower.

Other amenities include wifi, a 1 acre fenced-in play area for children and/or dogs to play, available doggie and child gates and gravel driveway with ample parking. But the cabin's greatest assets are intangible: the calming, relaxing sound of the flowing creek, the sight of a glorious sunrise or sunset, the sense of peace and tranquility you feel when you're there, and the happy memories you'll take with you.

The best dog friendly ever!!!

Our dogs had free run of the property (totally fenced in). The boys 6&10 loved the creek. The dogs did also. We played pool, watched the game on the tv in the screened porch. The hot tub was great also! Absolutely a favorite!!!

Creek fun!

The house had plenty of comfortable bedrooms for us. The kitchen was a little small for our group but we made it work. We really enjoyed the large deck and ate all of our meals out there. Big table held our group. We spent alot of time in the creek with our Grandkids. They loved it! Our dogs loved the big yard to run around. Screened porch was nice but needs a good cleaning. I swepted it out and it was fine. Watched TV out there in the mornings. We had a great time. Would reccomend this property.

Mountain and stream

The cabin was very nice with plenty of room for our family and 2 dogs. The dogs enjoyed the stream too much, but there is a gate to close them off from the bottom of the yard which was nice. The top of the yard also had a small dog run which was good. The pool table was nice and the views were good. Its location is further from town then we usually stay, but its closer to trail heads which was nice. There is a nice 2mile loop about a mile from the cabin which was nice for a trail run.

Nature's perfect playground! The creek was the biggest hit between the dogs running around it and my grandson catching crawdads? in it!! We loved the creek babbling adding the perfect soundtrack to the smores and fire!! Even the dogs seemed sad to leave..

Wonderful cabin and location, June 2021

This was lovely cabin accurately described in listing and in pictures. We very much enjoyed the quiet, private setting. Cabin was large and clean. Location was about 7 miles from town, close to hiking trails, away from others, and surrounded by woods. Hot tub was wonderful addition and used often. Absolutely no bugs inside cabin. Management was responsive when we couldn't get grill to light. For the size of the cabin and people it usually accommodates (5 - 8), more cooking equipment would have been nice. For example, there was only one skillet, which made it difficult to cook for everyone at the same time--a large electric skillet for pancakes would have been ideal to have had. Really, the only minor issue was that master shower didn't drain very well. We would definitely book again.

Perfect

What an amazing stay. We couldn't be happier with our stay in Blue Ridge. The house was perfect and exactly what we were looking for. We took our two dogs who don't usually get much time off leash. They had a great time playing in the creek and exploring the property. The deck was beautiful, as well as the firepit area. We only ran into 3 small issues during our stay that I'd like to warn others about: 1. The puzzle downstairs is missing 5 pieces. 2. There are two DVD/Bluray players, but no remotes for either. The Playstation works fine to watch those, though that may be harder for some folks to figure out. 3. The firewood is rotten. Dont even bother with it; buy your own. Overall, one of the best vacations I've had; the pups couldn't have been happier. 5 stars

Colby's Cabin was Great

Everything was great at Colby's Cabin! Upon arrival we did find that one of the TVs had some damage and we called to report it and the management was very responsive and called me right back. The screened in porch with TV and fireplace was very relaxing. The kids and adults all had a good time.

Beautiful Cabin

Colbys cabin is beautiful. The location and property are both perfect. The only reason why I gave it four stars instead of five is because the fireplaces inside the house did not work. We are from South Florida and when the weather dropped to 21° we had a hard time trying to stay warm. It is a two level cabin therefore the bottom level stayed very cold without the use of the fire. Again, the cabin was beautiful and perfect we were just really looking forward to sitting by the fire.
