The ultimate family vacation in the north Georgia mountains starts at BaseCamp Blue Ridge! There’s an expansive flat front yard with lots of room for kids, dogs and lawn games, and a big front porch. Enjoy our spacious game room or our classic basement with theater seating, popcorn machine, built-in bar and poker-style card table.

It may be a rental, but you’ll feel right at home at BaseCamp Blue Ridge thanks to its quintessential cabin feel. The location is perfect with boat parking and easy lake access. The ‘game garage’, hot tub, home theater, and huge yard are guest-favorites.

“We had planned activities every day but it was such a good place to hang out we canceled some to spend more time at the cabin!” Nelly, 2023

As the owners of BaseCamp Blue Ridge, we want to welcome you to our beloved cabin getaway. This cabin holds a special place in our hearts because it provides lots of opportunities for us to make memories with our 4 children, along with our extended family.

“My family and I spent a week here and felt right at home! … We will definitely be back!” - Crystal, July 2023

We’re so happy to be able to share it with other families who can make their own memories here. In fact, it may just spark a new family tradition for you; this is the kind of place everyone will want to come back to year after year.

OUR LOCATION:

What really makes this home stand out is where it’s located. It feels like you’re nestled up in the mountains without the inconvenience of the mountain roads.

“The location of the cabin was perfect, 5 minutes away from restaurants and only 10 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge...I would recommend this cabin to anyone!” - Meredith, March 2023

It’s close and convenient to all of the area’s adventures and must-sees. It’s just minutes from the lake, close to downtown, and the perfect "BaseCamp" for all of your outdoor adventures up the mountain.

“It’s also very close to local attractions, restaurants - and most importantly Walmart!” – Kathleen, June 2023

THE LAYOUT:

“Great place for a family/friend group. Especially with kids. The game room was great, and the hot tub and fire pit. The kids loved the basement too.” - Kim, April 2024

When you walk in, you’re greeted by the welcoming, open-concept kitchen, dining and living space. Off of the kitchen is access to the inviting deck! On this level you’ll also find three of the bedrooms including the primary suite.

On the lower level is an expansive basement filled with so many activities including a home theater set up! You’ll also find another bedroom as well as a ‘bunk space’ with twin beds and a

trundle.

Outside is a vast yard and patio living space. And, of course, our beloved ‘garage game room.’

LIVING SPACE:

This cozy space features two comfortable leather couches that face the stone fireplace and television above the mantel.

KITCHEN and DINING:

You’ll find that the kitchen is stocked with everything you need – from cookware to pantry staples. There’s ample cabinet and counter space as well as a complementary coffee bar! It’s also an eat-in kitchen with a rustic farmhouse dining table just steps away.

BEDROOMS and BATHROOMS:

On the main floor is our primary King bedroom with an ensuite bathroom as well as two Queen bedrooms with access to an additional full bathroom. On the lower level is an ‘open bunk space’ with two twin beds and a trundle as well as the 4th bedroom with a Queen bed and ensuite half bath. All of the bedrooms feature smart TVs and all of our bathrooms are equipped with basic toiletries and towels.

THE BASEMENT:

The downstairs area is huge: there’s a bean bag lounge area, a little kids area, a poker table, and built-in bar with a popcorn maker. The popcorn maker is for movie nights, which are a must because of our home theater – complete with two cozy couches, one lofted behind the other for true theater-style seating.

THE GARAGE GAME ROOM:

If you ever don’t hear from the kids in a while, they’re probably in here! From shuffleboard and foosball to air hockey and carnival-style basketball, the garage has it all. And when the weather’s nice, put up the garage door for open-air vibes.

OUTDOOR AREA:

Your Blue Ridge adventures can start right in the massive yard. It’s quite flat, making it prime for our lawn games (including plastic axe throwing) or pick-up kickball matches! Then, there’s the front deck with rocking chairs and a porch swing – because what cabin retreat is complete without those? The back deck features a grill, outdoor dining table, and a seating area for enjoying your morning coffee. On the ground level is the patio with the 6-person hot tub and relaxing, hammock-style chairs. In

the backyard that juts right up onto the tree line, there’s a fire pit for roasting s’mores and telling ghost stories.

THE AREA:

Outdoor enthusiasts will find no shortage of adventures in the Blue Ridge area, from hiking trails, mountain biking, fishing and boating, golf and more. We’ve picked out our own favorite spots and have plenty of ‘local’ knowledge that we love to share. After booking, feel free to message us for recommendations of hiking spots, adventure outfitters, boat rental companies and beyond.

But for now, here are some of our favorites:

Mercier Orchards - This is a must for everyone! It’s got fresh strawberry picking, fishing for the kids, and wine tasting for the adults. Plus a shop for fresh produce and local goods.

Das Kaffee Haus - This is the quintessential coffee shop. The brown sugar cinnamon latte and their hot chocolate are our favorites. And we won’t ruin the surprise, but the decor has a unique dog theme you just have to see!

Boat Dock Bar and Grill - Right at Lake Blue Ridge Marina is this awesome lakeside bar and restaurant. The views are great, the vibe is tropical and it’s a fun, casual, family-friendly spot.

Aska Adventure Area - This is THE area for exploration! From mom-and pop shops, excursion outfitters and hiking trails there’s no shortage of excuses to enjoy the great outdoors.

Shallowford Bridge Tubing - These folks run the oldest family owned tubing company in the Aska Adventure Area. Enjoy a fun-filled river trip as they equip you with everything you need and provide pick up and drop off along the river.

Toccoa River Swinging Bridge - This is a local favorite! It’s just a short hike from the parking lot to get to the bridge, but the road to the parking lot is quite bumpy so be careful taking standard cars there if there’s recently been rain.

Our family first fell in love with Blue Ridge, GA when we took our extended family to ride the Blue Ridge Scenic Railroad and we were wisked away into the lush scenery that surrounded us! We returned home after that visit but never forgot the charm of the town or the feeling of being so at home in the mountains.

BaseCamp Blue Ridge sprouted from the seed that was first planted on that family trip. We've put a lot of love and care into the home to make it a wonderful place for a family getaway. We love relaxing on the porch while watching our kids play in the yard or hearing their laughter bellowing out from the game room. We appreciate the peacefulness that comes from being among the trees without a neighbor in sight, but the best part is that our kids frequently ask us when we will get to return to the cabin.

The home is just a short drive to downtown Blue Ridge and the lake, yet away from it all. It's the perfect "BaseCamp" from which to explore everything that the area has to offer. We're excited to make plenty more family memories and are happy to be able to offer BaseCamp Blue Ridge for you to make memories in as well. Let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay perfect.

Enjoy the serenity and joy-filled days of BaseCamp Blue Ridge!
