Majestic views

We really loved our stay and the owners did a wonderful job with decorating and the small details: greeting card, wine and coffee beans, small appliances, kitchen utensils. We were amazed with all the little details provided. The house was immaculate and the mountain views from the main room, back deck, and hot tub is beyond what we expected.

Stunning Stay at Barkada Cabin

We have been to Blue Ridge a dozen times over the past 20 years. Barkada Cabin is far and away the nicest cabin we have stayed in. Calling it a cabin is truly an understatement. The finishings are second to none: from the exquisite bathrooms, to the full kitchen, to the wrap around deck complete with outdoor fireplace, ambiance lighting, oversized picnic table and a hot tub overseeing the Appalachians with a stunning view any time of day. Barkada Cabin is homey, roomy, and full of rustic charm; a perfect spot for a couple families to reunite and get off the grid. This mountain home also pays attention to detail, providing so many things the renter may forget: paper towels, laundry detergent, various soaps, Q-tips, dishwasher pods, etc., and every light switch is labeled- all very nice, thoughtful touches. There is plenty for the kids to do, as well. The basement is a true game room, and there are several huge televisions around the house for watching TV or to choose a movie from the vast assortment of streaming apps available. Finally, the firepit provides family fun outdoors- a highlight of our stay was roasting marshmallows one cool evening. Firewood on site was another convenience. Barkada Cabin really checks every box to ensure a return trip. Five Star vacation for us.

About the host

Hosted by Tom & Juvi Schroth

Hi, we are Tom & Juvi the builders/owners of Bärkada Cabin in Blue Ridge, GA. We had a vision to provide guests with a vacation home that WE would want to rent. A place where friends and families could meet and reconnect while unplugging from their busy life. The name, Bärkada has special meaning to us as the word is of Filipino origin meaning "A meeting of friends" The first part of the name, "Bär" is German for Bear as such, Bärkada Cabin represents both or our heritages. We have been in the real estate industry since 1993, selling homes as a Realtor, managing rental properties and doing remodeling, flips and building. With 3 decades of design/build experience we set out to create a cabin combining the best attributes of other mountain cabins in a format where you would enjoy the same amenities and comfort of your own home with EXTRAS to make your stay more comfortable and memorable.

Barkada Cabin represents our first build from scratch. Starting with a wooded mountain lot we took it from architecture and design to certificate of occupancy as the general contractor and builder. We participated in much of the physical construction as well as all the furnishing and decorating. This was a huge project for us but a labor of love that resulted in a second home that they enjoy with their two children and hopefully future generations.

Why they chose this property

We set out to create a cabin combining the best attributes of other mountain cabins in a format where you would enjoy the same amenities and comfort of your own home with EXTRAS to make your stay more comfortable and memorable. This view demanded something special be built at this location so we leveraged our 3 decades of design/build experience to create a plan that was as view centric as possible with both inside and outdoor living areas.

We wanted something secluded, but not isolated. While we have some neighbors, they're few and far between and you won't notice them unless you're looking for them and then only in the winter. As a second home for us we wanted to make sure that we duplicated everything you would have in any modern residential home. This includes a large kitchen area with everything you need to cook entire meals. We found that we love to stay at the cabin most of the time and do as many meals in the house as we can.

There's plenty to do without even leaving the cabin and if you like to cook, you'll find the kitchen is well stocked and can handle just about any meal. If you like to cook out, the Weber gas grill will spoil you!

You might never leave the cabin during your stay… Four large flat panel TV's and a media room with fully reclining leather chairs and surround sound, a 60-game arcade table, a selection of puzzles and board games and plenty of areas to hike right outside the door!

As a building science (yes, that's a thing) enthusiast, this 2022 build included some cutting-edge elements like spray foam insulation, Zip board, DC inverter heat pump heating, hybrid heat pump water heating, instant hot water at every faucet and a fully insulated concrete slab. You will find Barkada Cabin safe, efficient and environmentally friendly.

What makes this property unique

Something you won’t know unless you rented in the mountains before is that many (most) of the mountain homes, especially the ones with a view, have narrow and steep roads. They have no room for two-way traffic and take a long time to get to the cabin even though the distance is short. Having toured many comparable cabins in the area, I would not trade even their paved roads with our gently sloped and relatively wide hard packed road. Our community is right off a main road so it's not a burden to run into town or go exploring.
