Wildwood River Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature as you embark on an unforgettable retreat at this picturesque woodland cabin majestically overlooking the scenic Toccoa River.

Step onto any of the three decks and lose yourself in a world of relaxation, accompanied by the soothing symphony of birdsong and tranquil flowing water. Whether you are grilling on the open deck, lounging on the covered deck in the hanging basket chairs under cooling ceiling fans, or soaking in the rejuvenating waters of the hot tub on the lower deck, each space offers its own slice of mountain paradise with promises of serenity and bliss.

Inside the second level, the cozy living area beckons with a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for intimate gatherings around the flickering flames. Dive into your favorite movie on the large flat screen TV with Blu-ray player, or explore a myriad of streaming services for entertainment. The fully equipped kitchen invites culinary adventures, boasting granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and a convenient reverse osmosis filter for the well water. In addition to the dining table, multiple options are available to enjoy casual meals including a raised bar in the kitchen, outdoor seating on either the open deck, or the covered deck facing the river.

When the time is right, retreat to one of the two master suites, each with a queen bed and offering a unique blend of privacy, comfort, and sanctuary. The second level suite provides easy access to the upper covered deck with views of the river through the trees. Indulge your senses in the large bath with a large walk in shower, or a two person soaking tub with views to the adjacent forest.

The top level bedroom offers enchanting views through the forest canopy with glimpses of the river below and accompanying bird and wildlife antics hidden in the tree tops. Add in a private bath with walk in shower and you have a recipe for a relaxing end to the many outdoor adventures that are available. Finally, your suite boasts a separate loft area with a small library and seating for two for those interested in curling up with the latest summer novel.

Last, but not least, the ground level offers multiple options for entertainment and amusement. The three season rec room features a queen sleeper sofa, wet bar/kitchenette (mini-fridge, microwave, sink), a half bath, plus a large table with seating for sharing food, games and good times. Fun options include a large screen TV, multiple board games, and a ping pong table.

Outside, on the lower level covered deck, just a few feet from the banks of the Toccoa River, soak in the hot tub while watching the river flow slowly by. To the side is the fire pit area, where evenings come alive with crackling flames and good times under the stars. Anglers will delight in the opportunity to test their skills on-site in the premier trout fishing stream in
Georgia.

For the adventurous, your retreat on the river is loaded with a plethora of nearby options all within drive of 30-45 minutes or less. Activities include waterfalls and hiking, whitewater rafting, tubing, or kayaking, horseback riding, golf and fine dining at the Old Toccoa Farms, or exploring the Blue Ridge Lake Recreational Area. Indulge in the myriad options for shopping, local breweries and wineries, and restaurants that are available in and around Blue Ridge, Copperhill, McCaysville, and Blairsville before returning to relax and unwind at your Wildwood River Retreat home base.

Another great stay this cabin is our go to when coming to Blue Ridge. It’s close to all the downtown activities. We love how it’s off the beaten path and there is plenty of wildlife to see! We will be booking this cabin again in the future!

Perfect Getaway!
This is our second time staying at this beautiful cabin. If you are looking for a quiet relaxing getaway, then this is your place! We love sitting on the deck enjoying the sounds of the Toccoa River. The cabin is very private with a well stocked kitchen and super comfy beds. WE will definitely book again!

The home was great, the house keeping did not do great job.
Loved the property, house was great. However house keeping did not unload the dishwasher prior to our arrival. There was hair in the shower drain that was not ours. The washing machine wasn’t working.

Get away from it ALL!
This was a nice home to spend a couple days. While parts of it were updated other parts were not; not a big deal but some of the house felt quite dated. Overall a great place to stay if you really want to go past the end of the map. We will consider a stay here in the future.

Off to a good start
To summarize, it seems like the owners started off well but ran out of funds to finish. The kitchen and bathrooms are great, as are the back porch and deck. Had a minor cleaning issue, but our cleaning fee was refunded to make up for it. The furniture and decor seem to have been purchased from a grandparents estate or hotel liquidation. Needs better access to the river, even if it’s just a couple of steps. The backyard was a jungle. Provides some privacy at the expense of a limited view of the river. Landscapers came after check in but didn’t help much. Overall it’s a good place for small families, with room for improvement. *Also, not a property issue, but be aware of quickly rising water if you’re in the river. The dam is opened at Lake Blue Ridge a couple of times a day, resulting in a rising and faster moving river that can be dangerous for small children playing in the water.

Seclusion, Privacy, Romantic!
This house was absolutely beautiful! The river and the way nature surrounded us was just amazing. We will definitely be booking again! My only issues were the floor wasn’t really clean, as there was long, curly red hair everywhere. Other than that it was perfect!

Blue Ridge Relaxation
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a much needed getaway for rest and relaxation. The house was just about perfect. We enjoyed fishing in the river, reading a book in the balcony hanging basket chairs, having a fire in the fire pit, and the hot tub on chilly nights. The only downside at first was the very bumpy rough road to get there but, after the first view rides, we got used to it. Would definitely stay again.

Great place!
We loved this location. I’m glad I read the reviews and brought my own water for drinking and coffee. The water does have a strong sulfur smell. I can tell they are still improving the property as well. The basement has a tv, couches and half bath that isn’t shown in the pictures. It would be nice if they cleared out some trees and brush that blocks the view of the river. Luckily since it’s fall we could see better than it would have been in the summer. I loved that we were next to an empty lot for the power lines and we couldn’t see neighbors. It gave us some room to explore and fish. Over all the house is great and the couple of things I would recommend are very minor. A new coffee maker is needed, we had to take the lid off the pot while it brewed to keep it from making a mess plus it takes the cone filters rather than regular. Water pressure is doable but too low to use all the fancy shower heads in the main level bathroom. I also would like to be able to hear the river from the bedrooms and the downstairs bedroom had a note on the door to not open the doors because it’s hard to lock them back and the upstairs bedroom had a note to not open the windows. Over all I loved our stay and would stay again.

Ideal cabin
This cabin set up was perfect for us. The kitchen had everything we needed and was a good layout (we cooked a lot). The soft closing cabinets and drawers were top notch. I will warn you that the tap water has an unpleasant taste. Bottled water is advised for the coffee maker and drinking. The lot itself is flat and easy to drive/explore. The lane leading to the cabin is another story. We had 4wd trucks, so we were fine (never had to engage 4wd, but super thankful we didn’t drive our cars). It is riddled with potholes and several rough patches, though the closer you get to the cabin the more the lane smoothes out. The drive from cabin to Blue Ridge is about 20ish minutes. There is a Dollar General that you can get to in under 15. I recommend using Ingles over Walmart. Most fast food places had incredibly long lines/wait times and were drive through only. Carrol’s BBQ and Mystic Mountain Pizza were awesome. The shower water pressure was great and it had bomb lighting for doing make up. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location - no cell service or internet
The location of the home was amazing, very secluded, quiet, and right on the Toccoa. I would suggest AWD since the road to the house is unpaved and has HUGE pot holes. The house itself was clean but needs a few updates. Mattresses were soft, couches and comforters had stains, there were minor maintenance type of things, but it was still a nice home. Since we were outside most of the time this was not a big issue. One major issue was that we had no landline, no cell service (we use T-mobile) or internet connection. The TV/Roku that were on the property also did not work since there was no internet connection. We had to drive 10 miles into town, where we finally had any cell service, just to make a phone call to check in on things back at home with my elderly parents. Note- we had no way to even call 911 if someone had an emergency. Vacasa tried to remediate the internet issue by replacing the sim card in the router twice, but the solution unfortunately did not work. They offered us a loss of amenity credit which was a nice gesture (hoping to see it on my statement soon). If you need to rely on internet or any connectivity for that matter, this property may not be right for you.

Great Time
We liked every thing about the house and the back porch view. My wife loved the down stairs bathroom. It was laid out perfectly. The weather was nice and the town of Blue Ridge was great. The Southern Charm Restaurant was the best southern cooking we have had, but for my wife's of coarse.

Great property and view
View was great; beds comfy; ice was made; binder with stuff to do. Once you get on Wildwood, keep going although it looks like road ends. Look for cabin number. Needs instructions for microwave )very high tech); 2 of the chairs by bonfire are cracked.
