About this property

Creekside Cottage just steps from Fightingtown Creek & 10 minutes from downtown.

*** Both baths have been newly renovated ***

As you enter into the screened patio, peace and tranquility will be your only thoughts. This is everyone’s favorite room! The babel of the creek will lure you to rest on the comfortable sectional and take all your meals at the traditional farm table. You may even nap there in the afternoon or sleep there under the stars with the twinkling of the fireflies and the chirping of the crickets. Party lights that dim have been installed to create the perfect ambiance and lighting needs.

The remaining part of the patio has additional seating and a gas grill. Guests with children and fur children will love the flat and .3 fenced in acre for safety, play, and convenience. In the cooler evenings, enjoy the firepit with seating for four with tiki and solar lighting for pests and safety.

Fightingtown Creek, itself, is nothing short of fabulous! Yes, it does have trout and we have an excellent spot. You can wade, play, sit in a chair or float with you toes in the always chilly, but refreshing, water.

Upon entering the cottage, the floor plan is open and one-story which is great for seniors and toddlers. The dining room, just off the kitchen, has a unique, live edge handmade wooden table and ceiling fan.

The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances and everything you will need to prepare and serve meals. However, we have no dishwasher. Because of this, we will provide paper products and plastic utensils. Thank you for understanding.

The living area has a futon and sofa overlooked a charming, stone fireplace with gas logs. Above, is a 50-inch flat screen TV with cable. It’s the perfect place for watching football games or cozying in on a cold night. Washer and dryer are located in the hallway closet.

The three-piece guest bath (shower/tub) is conveniently located to the main areas and guest room. It has plenty of storage under the vanity. The guest bedroom has a large wooden handmade queen bed, ceiling fan, and ample closet storage and shelving.

The spacious master suite has a king bed, ceiling fan, dressing table and mirror, and a dresser for storage. The en-suite has another three-piece bath (shower only) with storage under the vanity.

If you are looking for a charming creek front property that is only 10 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge and all its amenities, then Firefly Cottage is for you!

Best Stay in Blueridge

We have stayed at Fire Fly Cottage on a previous trip and enjoyed it so much we decided to stay again 8 months later. It's so relaxing and very convenient to downtown without being downtown. The owner is quick to respond and very friend. The cleanliness is excellent, view is excellent. We probably be return visitors at least once a year!

Lovely cabin, great location !

We really enjoyed our stay here, lovely cabin in a great location and very pet friendly, the fenced in area is a big plus also. The cabin itself was really nice and well equipped with everything you will need for your stay. The firepit and the creek were also a big plus and a great place for a spot of fishing.The only thing that could have made this perfect would have been a white christmas but you cant have everything !I have to add that we had great communication from the owners also.

Peaceful place, excellent with pets

We relaxed, had a barbecue, roasted marshmallows, and took in the sights and sounds of nature. It was such a peaceful environment, fully immersed in nature. Our pet had a blast in the huge fenced yard; he was the happiest one there! Even our teen mentioned feeling calm after the trip. We really enjoyed ourselves and loved how easy it was to have a barbecue.

Best Stay in Blue Ridge

My husband, myself, my 7 year old son and our cat Icecream chose this cabin because of it's proximity to the creek and it wasn't overly large. It was very clean, very cozy, and had everything we could possibly need, including floats for the river, firewood for the pit, and even a few fishing rods. The screened in porch facing the creek was probably where we spent most of our time. It was definitely the best stay we've had so far and will absolutely return again!

Why they chose this property

We have spent several years traveling the North GA Mountains to find the perfect
vacation home. Eventually, we stumbled on Blue Ridge, GA, and well,
it was love at first sight. However, we knew his property was too
special not to share with others, which is why we are so happy to
have you stay at our little cottage on the creek!
