About this property
Perfectly Imperfect Cabin, in forest near Blue Ridge. Relax and enjoy nature.
🌲 Perfectly Imperfect Cabin : Built by Hand, Guarded by Spirit
Welcome to Perfectly Imperfect Cabin – a one-of-a-kind mountain retreat tucked into 11 private acres of the Cherokee National Forest, just minutes from the Ocoee River’s whitewater rapids and the charming streets of Blue Ridge, GA.
Our cabin isn’t about perfection. It’s about peace, presence, and that deep exhale you’ve been needing. What started as a simple one-room hunting cabin has grown into a warm, spacious hideaway that blends authentic, handbuilt charm with the modern comforts you don’t want to live without. Here, you’ll trade city noise for the rush of the creek, the chatter of wildlife, and maybe even the distant howl of our forest guardian.
🐾 Pet Friendly
We welcome your four-legged family members! Dogs love running the trails and splashing in the creek.
🌟 Why Guests Love It Here
Blending authentic cabin charm with modern comfort, this retreat sits on 11 private acres in the Cherokee National Forest, offering plenty of room to gather with family, reconnect with friends, or simply unplug in peace. More than just a getaway, it’s a living piece of Appalachian history that is handbuilt, imperfect, and unforgettable.
🛋️ Cozy, But Comfortable
Every cabin promises coziness, but we back it up with thoughtful details. Each bedroom is furnished with premium mattresses for a restful night’s sleep, while comfy furnishings throughout the cabin invite you to curl up with a book or movie. When you want to stay connected, enjoy high-speed internet and a 55" smart TV, or let Alexa™ set the mood with music and convenience at your command. And for mornings that start slow, the Keurig Duo is stocked with coffee pods to help kickstart your day.
Prefer the unplugged life? Wander down to the creekside fire pit, or settle into a rocking chair on the wraparound porch with a mug in hand while the forest does the talking. 🌲☕📵
🛏️ Sleeping Arrangements
The cabin comfortably accommodates groups with flexible sleeping arrangements. Bedroom 1 on the main level features a king bed, while Bedroom 2 offers a queen bed along with open floor space for an additional queen air mattress if needed. Upstairs in the loft, you’ll find two twin beds and extra space that can also fit a queen air mattress, making the cabin ideal for families or friends traveling together.
🛁 Bathrooms
The cabin features three bathrooms for convenience and comfort. Bathroom 1, ensuite to Bedroom 1, offers both a shower and a spacious garden tub designed for a relaxing soak with a touch of modern fun. Bathroom 2 is a full bath with a shower and the added bonus of a washer and dryer—while its decor is a bit dated, cosmetic updates are already planned. Bathroom 3 is a handy half bath, easily accessible from the living and dining areas.
🌌 Outdoor Living
The cabin’s outdoor spaces are designed for both relaxation and gathering. Enjoy the wraparound porch with its rocking chairs and new solar lighting that set the perfect evening ambiance, or head down to the creekside fire pit that's ideal for storytelling, s’mores, and stargazing under the mountain sky. With ample parking for 3–4 vehicles, group trips are easy, and authentic touches like the bird bath and burn barrel out front bring a true taste of mountain life.
📍 Location Highlights
Just minutes from Blue Ridge, GA, and Murphy, NC, the cabin puts you close to the best of the mountains. Spend your days tackling Ocoee River whitewater rafting and other outdoor adventures, or explore nearby zip lining, hiking trails, and waterfalls. When it’s time to slow down, head into town to discover local restaurants, breweries, and small-town charm all just a short drive away.
🍳 Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook and share meals:
Full-size refrigerator, stove, oven, and microwave
Dishwasher for easy cleanup
Cookware, utensils, and dishware provided
Dining area perfect for gathering around hearty meals or quick morning breakfasts
✨ Whether you’re here for adventure on the Ocoee, a quiet retreat in the woods, or simply to sit by the fire and hear the wolves howl, Perfectly Imperfect Cabin is your forest hideaway built by hand, guarded by spirit.

Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood for its peaceful seclusion and natural beauty. Our Perfectly Imperfect Cabin is nestled in the heart of the forest, offering us and our guests a serene escape from the hustle and bustle. From the wraparound porch, we’re treated to stunning mountain views and the soothing sounds of nature—from rustling leaves to the gentle flow of a nearby creek. It’s the perfect place to unwind, whether you’re enjoying a cup of coffee at sunrise or stargazing at night.
What really makes this neighborhood special is the sense of community and respect. The properties here are large, giving everyone plenty of space to enjoy their privacy, and neighbors are mindful of the peace and quiet that makes this area so magical. With minimal noise and light pollution, the tranquil environment is preserved, especially during the evening when the forest truly comes alive. It’s a place where nature and neighborly respect come together, creating a calm and restorative retreat for all.

What makes this property unique
Our Perfectly Imperfect Cabin offers an authentic, rustic experience that blends old-world charm with modern comforts. With its hardwood floors, tongue-and-groove ceilings, weathered barn lights, and a stone-faced fireplace, the cabin exudes warmth and character. We take pride in restoring original features whenever possible, preserving its timeless, lived-in appeal. It’s a space that feels like it’s been part of the forest for years, and every imperfection adds to its cozy, welcoming vibe.
While the cabin offers an opportunity to truly disconnect (there’s no cell service here), we’ve also made sure that modern conveniences are within reach. Stay connected or unwind with broadband WiFi, a 55" smart TV, and Alexa. It’s the perfect balance for those seeking peace and tranquility, but who still appreciate the comforts of home when desired. Whether you’re looking to unplug completely or just have the option to connect, this is the ideal place to recharge.
