Fun family trip
Loved the cabin! It has such a great view of the river, with really lovely outdoor spaces for relaxing. The drive in to the cabin was easy, which is always a plus in mountain areas. Everything was super clean and we appreciated the little touches like marshmallow roasting sticks and a few fishing supplies. We saw deer, a racoon, an armadillo, and a mama turkey with a few babies in the few days we were at the cabin.

So much peaceful outdoor space!!
Our stay at FishTrap with our teen kids and their older grandparents was VERY relaxing. There is so much outdoor space to relax in the woods listening to and watching the water flow in the Taccoa River ... And the outdoor furniture is top notch and plentiful! The hot tub was a fantastic amenity, and it worked great ... And it's drained and refilled between every guest. There is old home charm with new home quality and technology. We already look forward to coming back.

Amazing Mountain River Vacation
Our family had a phenomenal trip to Fishtrap Overlook. Ellen and Dave were literally the most astute and ready to help hosts you will ever have on trip using VRBO. I cannot say enough about their hospitality and the property they share. While it is fun to debate what properties were best among the ones you have stayed at. This absolutely is in the conversation for one of the best for our family. You will not be disappointed!

Great Home
This is a beautiful house with a wonderful view. The sound of the river is very relaxing. It was very fun to see the passing train go by. The house is very well equipped and has all you need for a nice visit. Location is great as it is far enough from town for quiet but close to drive for groceries or shopping. Would love to stay there again. We were able to find the house using Google Maps.

Great place to relax and spend time with friends!
Very clean. Comfy beds. Amazing outdoor spaces! Ellen was such a gracious host. We had planned to take this trip last year and had to postpone due to a family member’s illness. She worked with us and we were so thankful. Take some DVDs if you are a big tv watcher. Streaming can be sketchy due to the satellite Wi-Fi. The views are spectacular and Blue Ridge was a fun place! Loved our time together as friends.

Spring Break Trip
We really enjoyed this beautiful house! The decks are amazing! We loved sitting out there watching the geese on the river below. Our favorite thing about this house was being so close to the river. Everyone was especially excited that we passed the house on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway train ride! We will definitely be staying here again!

Family Thanksgiving
Great cabin for our family over Thanksgiving. We’ve stayed in numerous beach houses and cabins over the years. The Fishtrap Overlook has been the cleanest. The view overlooking the river is stunning. Ms Ellen, the owner, was very prompt responding to our questions. Great place for a small family gathering. We’ll certainly be returning in the future.

Lovely Toccoa River spot.
We had a wonderful getaway for a short Fall Break. We visited both towns on either side of the home. McCaysville had plenty of places to eat, shop and walk through antique stores. Blue Ridge, GA had quaint shops where we did some early Christmas shopping. The house was situated perfectly in between both locations. The kitchen is a nice spot to cook with a small amount of cooking pots & pans. I love to cook and would have preferred more than one large bowl and one large skillet. The owners supplied lots of dish washing soap and dishwasher detergent. So, a simple washing break made the skillets go further. There were plenty of flat baking pans which was put to great use when making homemade biscuits. Every other kitchen convenience was supplied. There was no shortage of utensils for eating, cooking or even grilling. We made breakfast each morning with the sun rising in the woods. Had dinners each night in the open dining room. If we had any suggestions that would be an addition of comfortable seating in the game room (like a couch or lounge chairs) and better mattresses. We felt like we slept on very hard boards in the master bedroom. Due to weather between rain and freezing temperatures, we spent a lot of time indoors. We were grateful for the game room but there was not any seating other than the 4 game table chairs. On days when the weather permitted, we thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor seating. The extras like the outdoor TV and rocking chairs were an absolute plus. The fire pit was excellent and we had a lovely time by the fire at least two nights. The owners supplied tools for easy cleanup of the fire pit. The owners supplied clothes detergent and have a wonderful laundry room. We were able to wash and dry our clothes after a full day walking in the rain. That was a plus instead of having to pack up dirty wet clothes. We saw plenty of deer each day. The views were beautiful each day despite the freezing temperatures. We fit in one day of fishing and watched the train go by each way in front of the house. All in all the house was excellent for our group of 3 adults and 3 children. We felt safe and sound in the woods overlooking the river. The views are just as described and the outdoor deck areas made the trip perfect.

Gorgeous River View/ Amazing Porches
If you enjoy porch sitting and looking out at God’s beautiful creation this is a great spot. The porches are just top notch. Nice jacuzzi for 4. The house was clean and had everything we needed. A lot of stairs, but we didn’t take children. The first drive in was a little confusing, but once we got the hang of it …it’s a breeze. We loved this place and will plan to return.

About the host

Hosted by Ellen and Dan Smith

Host profile image
We live in the N. Georgia mountains and have two more vacation rentals. One on the Toccoa River - VRBO #746521 and one on our farm - VRBO #1115466. We strive to give our guests a 5-star experience!

Why they chose this property

We wanted to create a property that had lots of great amenities and we wanted it to be on the Toccoa River.

We fell in love with the view the first time we stepped onto the back porch and from there the vision to incorporate a cascading deck and fireplace pavilion became clear. The occasional sound of the passing Blue Ridge Scenic Railroad train adds some nostalgia to the overall exterior ambiance.

We decided to give the interior a very current Cabin Chic look with unique design features not found in other cabins or river properties. (Ellen is an interior designer, specializing in vacation rental staging and rehab.) A game room, hot tub, multiple TV's, an office loft with reading area are all great additional amenities.

This property has easy access to Blue Ridge - less than 15 minutes away - as well as McCaysville/ Copperhill - about 10 minutes away.

What makes this property unique

Gorgeous views of the river, while also having direct access to the river are rare in the mountains. Typically you have one or the other, not both. Incorporating a large deck, fireplace pavilion and hot tub make the riverside of the house a wonderful place to relax and hang out. The Toccoa River is heavily stocked with trout in this section of the river, and it is privately owned on both sides, so the fishing is great!
