It was a great place to enjoy the sounds of the Toccoa River and the outdoor space lends itself to relaxing by the river. The house is wonderful - clean and amazingly well stocked. Definitely recommend this great “home away from home”.

Amazing River views.

My family and I had a lovely time during Christmas at this lovely home. The home was equipped with everything you might need in the kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms and laundry. The river views are amazing and my daughter really enjoyed soaking in the hot tub as she faced the beautiful river view. Check in was very easy. The only thing that I must make you aware of is, if you are arriving at night there is a short path just before arriving at the home and at night it can be a bit confusing and intimidating since its a narrow dirt road surrounded by trees. Once you cross the railroad tracks the home is on the right. The GPS lead us to the home on the left. Once you are aware of this path, you immediately get use to it and it’s no big deal. I highly recommend staying at this beautiful and peaceful home.

Second stay

Fish Trap is a great place to get away and enjoy peace and quiet but also close enough to town to enjoy Blue Ridge and all its shops and restaurants. Brian the host is great. Quick to respond to any questions you might have. All you need to bring is your clothing and food. Anything you possible need is furnished. We have stayed here 2 times and will be coming back.

Amazing place!!

This place is amazing. Inside is very bright, clean and the view is just perfect. It had everything we needed to cook, the bathrooms were great, the bedrooms were beautifully decorated. Outside was just as amazing, porch, grill, hot tub, and train tracks on one side. It was so good to see the train pass by. Patio furniture on two sides and a swing in the back to enjoy the beautiful Toccoa River. We have been renting cabins for a long time but this place is definitely number "one" now!!

River Getaway

Loved it here! Everything was as described and the owner was responsive. We appreciated the detailed info provided such as kayak routes and dam release schedules. The best part for us was the outdoors. There was so much seating, and we utilized every bit of it. Mornings on the fishing deck, afternoons playing cornhole, evenings by the fire pit, dinners grilled on the beautiful side deck, nights in the hot tub. The home is well decorated and had everything we needed and more. The boys enjoyed fishing while the girls opted for shopping in the nearby town. Blue Ridge Mountain Stables was a hit for everyone, horseback riding up the mountain with absolutely wonderful guides! For all the reviews about cars vs trucks… I was happy to be in my truck. However, this property could definitely be accessed via car as well.

Secluded, Water Scenery, Peaceful

This property is centrally located to many small towns in GA that each offer something unique. We spent most of our time at our VRBO hanging out in the river and in the spa. We watched people fish and actually catch fish right from the back porch. If you're into fishing, bring a pole.

Important Detail Missed

Home was clean and cozy and loved the fire pit area and nice hot tub. The yard and proximity to river was great. Saw beautiful deer. But one important detail left from description - the road to access property. It is not for those with vehicles sitting close to ground. The gravel road is rough and the last half had new gravel which created a challenge when leaving the house in the loose gravel since it is all uphill. Best for Jeeps or 4-wheel drive but being experienced driver was able to navigate in my Lexus. Folks should be aware before leaving home so they are prepared. But it is worth the drive so folks should definitely visit this pretty location.

The Perfect Getaway

This place is amazing if you’re looking to get away! It felt like home. Waking up to the sounds of the river, birds chirping, our children laughing, to telling stories around the campfire and hot tub in the evening. We made so many new memories. Perfect location, perfect view!

Visit to Helen

Brian is an excellent host and the house was everything and more. It was too cold for outdoor activities but in better temperatures would be fabulous being close to the river. Will definitely book again. We also discovered the charming town of Mineral Bluff. Highly recommend this property.

Not actually what I was expected but it was very nice. Enjoyed the fire pit area very much, spent a lot of time fishing and sitting around the fire. Would have been nice to have fire wood provided. Very comfortable inside nicely decorated. Everyone enjoyed the stay!

Great Stay

Property was just as listed. Has everything you need for a great stay. Enjoyed sitting around the fire pit at night. Saw deer, geese, ducks, and even a bald eagle. Great restaurants and shops in town. Brian our host was great at responding if we had questions. The gravel road going to the property might be a little iffy for some people but we didnt have any problems. Loved the drive. We will definitely stay here if we come back to this area.

Peaceful Place on the River

This is my second stay at this home on the Toccoa River; once with sisters and this trip with my husband. It is quiet and appears to be a great place to fish. I saw fish jumping just downstream. Whether you're there for nature, sight-seeing, or fishing, it's a great little getaway.

Nice fishing retreat

This was our second stay at Brian’s home. The location is right on the river and the home is well-equipped. We enjoyed using the fire pit and covered porch, and caught a lot of fish. The last time we stayed, we used the kayaks. Very relaxing area, and we enjoyed watching the Blue Ridge train go by and waving to the people on board. Brian is a very responsive host.

A Fun Time at Fish Trap

Living in South GA we wanted a cool, quiet place to relax and enjoy the mountains. We found the perfect place at Toccoa Fish Trap Escape. The house was very neat and clean , equipped with everything we needed. Our special needs grandson could have spent the entire time playing in the river. It was cool enough at night to have a fire or play cornhole. It was close enough to drive to local fun places and of course the train ride was the highlight. A special thanks to Mr. Yoder for sending me my rain jacket that I left. A great vacation!!

Great place to relax and enjoy nature

We had a great time and really enjoyed the sound of the river. We also had a chance to wave at the train as it went by on its journey. This place is located off the beaten path but easy access to town. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to create some wonderful meals. We played games and did a little fishing. Was such a relaxing time after the hustle of the holidays. We will be back!!
