About this property

Affordable! Cozy Lower Level Retreat In The Aska Adventure Area & Toccoa River.

Not riverfront—but close! Enjoy easy access to the Toccoa River with a scenic 3-minute walk from the cabin.

Welcome to the lower level of this cozy log cabin nestled in the heart of the Aska Adventure Area! While the cabin itself is not directly on the river, it offers the best of both worlds: peaceful forest surroundings and quick access to the Toccoa River. A short, scenic 3-minute walk down the stairs, through the woods and across Aska Road brings you to a riverside deck where you can relax, fish, or simply enjoy the view.

Nature & Relaxation

Scenic Tranquility: Enjoy the fresh mountain air and calming river views from the nearby deck—a short stroll from your doorstep.
Hot Tub Bliss: After a day of hiking, fishing, or exploring, unwind in your private hot tub and let the bubbles melt your stress away.

Walkable Dining & Attractions

Within walking distance: Toccoa River Restaurant, Iron Bridge Café, Blue Ridge Tubing, and Aska Gem Mining.
Downtown Blue Ridge is just 9 miles away, offering boutique shopping, dining, and local charm.

Angler’s Paradise

The Toccoa River is a renowned trout fishing destination. Bring your gear and cast a line—especially at Sandy Bottoms Recreation Area, just a mile upstream and frequently stocked with trout.

Nearby Adventures

Springer Mountain: Start of the Appalachian Trail, less than 20 miles away.
Swinging Bridge & Falls Trails: Scenic hikes even closer.
Lake Blue Ridge: Only 6 miles away for swimming, boating, and lakeside picnics.
Mercier Orchards

Privacy & Hosts

From October to late April, we (Jane and I) live in the upper portion of the cabin with our two small dogs. The rental unit is completely separate and private. We're happy to assist with local tips or questions during your stay. The rest of the year, we’re in Montana—but plans may shift depending on fire season. Either way, your comfort and privacy are always our top priority.

Kitchen Note

The unit does not have a conventional oven, but it includes a convection microwave, griddle, and BBQ grill with side burner. With great restaurants just minutes away, you might not want to cook at all—after all, you’re on vacation!

We had a wonderful time! The cabin is comfy and cozy. It was clean and well maintained. The property owner was very knowledgeable and friendly.There is a big red truck that is parked on the property that we realized was there to keep a boat from being taken but it threw us off a little when we first arrived.

Clean and tidy. The property and furnishings are slightly dated. If you just look at the pictures and don't read the details, you'd think the property is on the river, but it's not. It fooled us until after we booked. Overall, a very nice stay and I'd book it again!

Wonderful and cozy weekend escape

This was a perfect place for a cozy weekend retreat — close to easy scenic hikes, not far from downtown Blue Ridge, and there is great breakfast at the cafe just down the hill. It’s obvious how much care was put into making this a great place to stay!

Nice, clean place. Good location.

This is a nice clean place. Hot tub was a good addition. At the bottom of the stairs that lead to the road there is a great breakfast place inside a general store. They serve a great country breakfast for a good price.

Mid Winter Getaway

We went down south to beat the Michigan winter blues but had bad luck with the weather being colder than expected. However the property and surrounding area made up for that. The rental was clean and inviting and had all the things we needed. Hosts were readily available and friendly It was a perfect location to get to area attractions Would definitely recommend!

Cozy cabin by the river

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cozy mountain cabin by the Taccoa R. We were able to contact our host immediately with any questions. Alan was also very informative and genuinely cares for his guests and their stay. The cabin was clean and had all the conveniences and very well decorated. We could hear the Taccoa R. from the front porch and was only a short walk away. We highly recommend visiting this cozy cabin.

Quick trip to Blue Ridge

This property is a great location for ease of access to everything in Aska and the surrounding areas. Plenty of hikes within 15-20 minute drive, the general store is literally a walk down the steps. Scott was phenomenal and very accommodating. If you are looking for a convenient place to rest while in Aska, this is a great option. It is off a main road so you hear a little of that occassionally, but it is minimal. The river is literally down the steps accross the street, so you get the enjoyment of that as well. Great option at the price!

Nice

The one picture that I saw when I booked this reservation. Show the cabin on the river. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't. It was across the street And the grill that didn't work. He said we can use the other grill but it was in bad shape other than that, it was a nice vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Scott Yetter

Host profile image
Hi
I recently retired after 28 years of working as a fly fishing guide in Montana and the Florida Keys. I enjoy, fishing, floating rivers, camping, hiking and cooking.

Why they chose this property

"Jane and I recently reclaimed ownership of the cabin, which she had sold to someone else several years ago. We’re particularly fond of the area for several reasons:
Convenient Amenities: We love that we can easily walk to the Iron Bridge Cafe and general store for breakfast, lunch, or supplies.
Natural Beauty: Just upstream, the Sandy Bottoms recreation area provides excellent fishing access along the river.
Proximity to Blue Ridge: The cabin is only 9 miles away from downtown Blue Ridge.
Outdoor Adventures: Additionally, our cabin is conveniently close to two fantastic trails:
Falls Trail: This scenic trail leads you through lush forests, past cascading waterfalls, and offers breathtaking views.
Swinging Bridge Trail: Experience the thrill of crossing the Toccoa River on the longest swinging bridge east of the Mississippi River. The serene surroundings en route to the bridge make it a delightful hike..
And when we’re not exploring, the Toccoa River Restaurant, just a few minutes away, remains our go-to spot for enjoying craft beers during Happy Hour."

What makes this property unique

Rocky River Retreat has a generator that turns on automatically in case of power outages. Power outages can be frequent here in North Ga. Very close to two places to eat. Iron Bridge Cafe and Toccoa River Restaurant. Also a short walk to Blue Ridge Tubing, Gem Mining and the Toccoa River.
