Slept like a baby cozy comfortable convenient!

Our favorite place to stay in Blue Ridge! Two streets from the shopping, restaurants, train ride and park. Easy walk to everything we wanted to do. Comfortable seating where my husband and I stretch out to watch our shows after we returned from shopping. The master bed was so comfortable! I slept like a baby. Kitchen is large with everything we needed. The entire home was very clean. It reminds me so much of home you will not be disappointed staying here!

Great Stay!

Had a great time in Blue Ridge! We had never been there before but our daughter recently moved to Georgia and works in Blue Ridge so we went for a visit. We only stayed here 2 nights but really enjoyed our stay. You can't beat the price. Everything we needed was provided. Beds are comfortable. Location was great. Only 2 blocks away from numerous shops and restaurants. We will definitely stay here again.

Needs updating, good downtown location.

We usually go to Gatlinburg for new years but decided to try Blue Ridge this year. It was a great decision as we enjoyed the much more relaxed small town atmosphere. The location of the home is great if you want to be close to downtown with all of the shopping and restaurants. The house itself needs some major upgrades as it looks as if it has not been touched in forty years. The price was great and if you are like us where you are just looking for a place to lay your head, I would strongly recommend.

Christmas in Blue Ridge

This small, neat house is in a great location, just two blocks from Main Street and downtown Blue Ridge. Full disclosure, although we had no trouble walking downtown and back the house is definitely uphill going back. Inside, the house is much larger than it first appears . We found it clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. The highlight of the trip was taking the hour long Holiday Express train ride.. thanks Steve

Smokey Mountain Trip 10/24 to 10/31 2024

The property was all that was listed. Easy access, Easy location to find. Central to all areas we wished to visit. House was very clean and well stocked with linens. Kitchen was very roomy and had all the needed pots/pans Plates, silverware and appliances that you would want. Seating areas large and roomy and separate if you want some alone time. This is a wonderful way to spend a vacation. Would work well for a family or 2 couples to stay in. Property management was very responsive and helpful with any questions on the first day. No need to contact after the first day. Yes this is highly recommended.

Cute and Convenient

The house is.located a short walk from downtown Blueridge. We stayed for a long weekend and loved the convenience of the location. The carport was a nice perk. The house is two streets frpm downtown up a steep hill, but the walk is worth the time saved from searching for a parking spot. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Perfect place for us; second time we’ve stayed here. It’s a charming older house. Its location is great: easy to find and only 2 blocks from downtown Blue Ridge. It has everything we needed and Cathy was very helpful with our questions. Our dogs enjoyed the fenced in backyard.

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Cox-Brakefield

Host profile image
We have been married since 1990, and moved to Blue Ridge, my hometown, in 2001, after spending most of our prior adult years in the Atlanta area. We lived in our first vacation cabin for two years and then moved into our new home on my family's farm just outside town. We have two grown sons who live in the Atlanta and Austin, TX area. On the farm our babies are our dog, two cats, and three "fainting' goats. At the end of 2015, we both be retired from long legal careers and began to focus our efforts on our two vacation rental properties.

Why they chose this property

This house was previously owned by a family friend. I went with a colleague who was house hunting to look at it. She decided that it wasn't for her, but I fell in love. The house is charming and in one of Blue Ridge's original in town neighborhoods, just steps from the excitement of downtown. Having hosted visitors for over two years at Cox Farmhouse, I had a vision that couples and young families will love the option of.staying in the very convenient location within minutes of walking to shops, parks, restaurants, the library, and art galleries. The Swan, one of Georgia's last and longest operating drive-in theaters, is only a few blocks away.

What makes this property unique

With its original hardwood floor in the main living room, and charming cottage feel, this gem will be the perfect vacation spot for two couples or a family with up to three children. The living room is light and airy with a large adjoining deck for grilling and outdoor seating. The great room provides space for guests to cook, dine, and watch tv or relax while being in the same space. The lovely tiled sunroom just off the great room provides additional seating and dining space. Full laundry facilities with a large laundry sink and an extra toilet in the basement provide extra convenience.
