Blue Ridge Hideaway at Lake Toxaway w/ Hot Tub

Welcome to the Blue Ridge Hideaway at Lake Toxaway. This beautifully renovated house has room for up to 10 guests, a hot tub, a fire pit, and a ping-pong table. Enjoy amazing sunset views with the family and kids. Rest easy knowing we are baby friendly with baby gates, a travel crib, and outlet covers. Our fully fenced-in 1.5-acre property is pet friendly and has plenty of parking. Close to waterfalls, hikes, and fantastic trails. Lake Toxaway Marina is less than 5 miles away.

Lake Toxaway access via the marina, 6-person hot tub with color changing lights, lake views, walking distance from the Grand Olde Station, ping pong table, fire pit, and super fast high-speed internet connection(up to 1 GB download speed). The home also has excellent cell phone service, which tends to be sparse in the mountains of western North Carolina. Important Note: Our house is across the street from Lake Toxaway and does not have a private dock* We are one of the few pet-friendly homes in the area, and we are fully fenced in for your dog to roam. Plenty of board games and a Nintendo wii game console for indoor fun.

You can access Lake Toxaway through the Lake Toxaway Marine, approximately 4 miles away. You can rent a boat, as our guests. There are several options for renting pontoon or fishing boats. Reach out for more info on boat rentals. There are also several excellent playgrounds in the area for kiddos.

I am available via text during your stay from 8am-9pm daily.

Lake Toxaway is the largest private lake in North Carolina. You get access to the lake via our home. If you want to rent a boat, you will do so under my name as a guest.
The Grand Olde Station is open for the season. Walk down to great dining and drinks!

There is skiing at the Sapphire Valley Ski Resort less than 20 minutes away. The Grand Olde Station restaurant located just below the property is typically open11am-9pm.

Property location was great! Access to boat rentals on Lake Toxaway worked seamlessly, and the lakeside restaurant within walking distance was so fun. Small hot tub issue, but the owner was super responsive.

Great Mountain getaway!
Really great little cabin in the Lake Toxaway area! Kids loved the hot tub and ping pong table and the owner also provided firewood from the shed during our stay for the outdoor fire pit. Great communication from the owner and the nearby hiking at DuPont, Pisgah, and Gorges can’t be beat! Really good restaurant (Grand Olde Station) right below the property too so can walk to a great meal or drinks. Would definitely recommend!

Great spot
We stayed for a quick weekend at this cabin in Lake Toxaway. We really knew nothing about the area and picked it off the map. My family loved the location as it was close to so many hikes and also other small towns like Sapphire, Cashiers and more. This cabin had everything you could need for your stay. We enjoyed our time and will def be back to the area and even this cabin. Thanks for a great stay.

Beautiful Fall Getaway
The Blue Ridge Hideaway was the perfect spot for my family to enjoy the beautiful fall weather and all that Lake Toxaway has to offer. The house was clean and well equipped. The owner was communicative enough to make sure we had everything we needed. Our kids enjoyed the pool table. We highly recommend!

Lake Toxaway Getaway
Such a lovely stay in late summer. The home was beautiful and we had everything we needed. Keen eyes may spy a white squirrel who lives in a tree nearby - look toward the lake from the fire-it - there's a tree with a knot and you might find them.

Great Lake Toxaway Base
This property is an excellent home base for exploring Lake Toxaway, Cashiers, Highlands, Brevard, etc. we stayed a full month and were very pleased with our experience. John is an absolutely fantastic host! Communicative, but not overly so. Very responsive and flexible. He goes above and beyond to make sure the guests have a great experience. The place was clean and well-stocked. We made great use of the ping-pong table in the evenings. The 4-foot fence and the wooded yard are great for smaller dogs. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend the property!

Great House
We had a wonderful stay in this nicely appointed home in Lake Toxaway! It was exactly as described -really couldn’t want for anything else. John was a superb host! It was a great place to reconnect with friends – we spent a lot time in the house because we had rainy weather -so I’m glad it was so nice! Thank you John! It was a great place to reconnect with our longtime friends!

This was a last-minute Monday-Thursday getaway for my wife and I and our dog. It's a beautiful area with access to some incredible hikes, and the house was very well set up and clean.

Truly a great rental spot
Asa family of 6, we visited this rental over NYE and it was exactly as pictured and described. The trip was planned for a birthday and NYE and with four kids, we needed all of our boxes checked as far as what we were looking for. Everyone had plenty of space, not just in sleeping quarters but also bathrooms and common areas, the outside space was great as well. We used the hot tub multiple times with no issues. Plenty of kitchen utensils and equipment which was great. I’ve been to some rentals before where you just feel like you’re missing your own kitchen and this one was very well equipped. One snafu with the master bedroom but the host/owner was quick to respond. I’d love to see a new bed frame in there, as previous renters must have not mentioned damages at their checkout. It’d be great to visit this property again.
