• All that is necessary to bring is clothing and personal toiletries. Your cabin will be stocked with an initial supply of toilet paper, trash bags, dish washing soap, dishwasher soap and bath soap. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils. However, it may be a good idea to bring or pick up paper towels, laundry detergent, and coffee filters as these are not always provided.  There are a number of major food stores in the area, such as Ingles & Food Lion in Blue Ridge and a Super Walmart in Ellijay.  Also, there are many wonderful restaurants in the Fannin/Gilmer County area.

Do you provide firewood?

• An initial supply of about 30 sticks of firewood is provided at the cabin for each renting party to use only in the fireplace. These are for use in the fireplace during the fall and winter months. After the initial supply is used, additional wood is the responsibility of the guest.  Absolutely NO fires are permitted outside of the fire pit located in the back yard. The cabin is very close to the woods, and building a fire outside of a designated area is very dangerous and is against the law.  No firewood is provided during the spring and summer months of May through September.  Firewood for use in the firepit can be purchased from and delivered to the cabin by a local firewood provider.  If you would like wood for use in the firepit, we would be happy to take care of that for you for only the cost of the wood.  We can have the wood delivered to the cabin, stacked near the firepit and ready for your enjoyment.  Just let us know at the time of booking.

Where can I buy wine/beer?

• You can purchase beer and wine at the local grocery stores and convenience stores.  Several local restaurants also serve beer and wine.  Blue Ridge is considered a dry county, and you cannot purchase liquor in this area.  Ellijay, however, is 15 miles south of Blue Ridge and does sell liquor.

Do you have a hot tub?

• We do not have a hot tub.

What activities are available nearby?

• You might find that once you get to the cabin, you will want to stay there.  Yes, it is that relaxing.  However, Blue Ridge is a beautiful area with activities and adventures for all ages.  You can simply relax and take in the breathtaking views and vistas, or you can partake in all of the action and adventure Blue Ridge has to offer.  Take a nostalgic train ride into Tennessee on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway, do some shopping in downtown Blue Ridge, catch a fish in one of our pristine streams or rivers, hike through the Cohutta Wilderness, take a lazy river float down the Toccoa River, battle the rapids while Whitewater Rafting, take a stroll through the woods on horseback, zip through the treetops on a Canopy tour, soar through the sky on a helicopter tour, sip some wine and listen to great live music at a local winery, enjoy a live production at the Blue Ridge Community Theater, or go boating, canoeing, or kayaking!  There are endless opportunities for fun and adventure in Blue Ridge, and we would love to share it with you!
