About this property

Creekside Cottage just steps from Fightingtown Creek & 10 minutes from downtown.

*** Both baths have been newly renovated ***

As you enter into the screened patio, peace and tranquility will be your only thoughts. This is everyone’s favorite room! The babel of the creek will lure you to rest on the comfortable sectional and take all your meals at the traditional farm table. You may even nap there in the afternoon or sleep there under the stars with the twinkling of the fireflies and the chirping of the crickets. Party lights that dim have been installed to create the perfect ambiance and lighting needs.

The remaining part of the patio has additional seating and a gas grill. Guests with children and fur children will love the flat and .3 fenced in acre for safety, play, and convenience. In the cooler evenings, enjoy the firepit with seating for four with tiki and solar lighting for pests and safety.

Fightingtown Creek, itself, is nothing short of fabulous! Yes, it does have trout and we have an excellent spot. You can wade, play, sit in a chair or float with you toes in the always chilly, but refreshing, water.

Upon entering the cottage, the floor plan is open and one-story which is great for seniors and toddlers. The dining room, just off the kitchen, has a unique, live edge handmade wooden table and ceiling fan.

The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances and everything you will need to prepare and serve meals. However, we have no dishwasher. Because of this, we will provide paper products and plastic utensils. Thank you for understanding.

The living area has a futon and sofa overlooked a charming, stone fireplace with gas logs. Above, is a 50-inch flat screen TV with cable. It’s the perfect place for watching football games or cozying in on a cold night. Washer and dryer are located in the hallway closet.

The three-piece guest bath (shower/tub) is conveniently located to the main areas and guest room. It has plenty of storage under the vanity. The guest bedroom has a large wooden handmade queen bed, ceiling fan, and ample closet storage and shelving.

The spacious master suite has a king bed, ceiling fan, dressing table and mirror, and a dresser for storage. The en-suite has another three-piece bath (shower only) with storage under the vanity.

If you are looking for a charming creek front property that is only 10 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge and all its amenities, then Firefly Cottage is for you!

Best Stay in Blueridge

We have stayed at Fire Fly Cottage on a previous trip and enjoyed it so much we decided to stay again 8 months later. It's so relaxing and very convenient to downtown without being downtown. The owner is quick to respond and very friend. The cleanliness is excellent, view is excellent. We probably be return visitors at least once a year!

Lovely cabin, great location !

We really enjoyed our stay here, lovely cabin in a great location and very pet friendly, the fenced in area is a big plus also. The cabin itself was really nice and well equipped with everything you will need for your stay. The firepit and the creek were also a big plus and a great place for a spot of fishing.The only thing that could have made this perfect would have been a white christmas but you cant have everything !I have to add that we had great communication from the owners also.

Peaceful place, excellent with pets

We relaxed, had a barbecue, roasted marshmallows, and took in the sights and sounds of nature. It was such a peaceful environment, fully immersed in nature. Our pet had a blast in the huge fenced yard; he was the happiest one there! Even our teen mentioned feeling calm after the trip. We really enjoyed ourselves and loved how easy it was to have a barbecue.

Dream Cottage

I discovered this cabin 4 months earlier when walking my dogs during our stay at another (unaffiliated) one a few doors down, and fell in love with just the outside. After finding the cottage online and communicating with Melanie, we were already beyond thrilled. She was so sweet and accommodating, and everything about the cabin exceeded our expectations. The cabin itself is very cozy and has everything you would need for your stay. There are so many personal touches, and even simple things like labled power switches, were very appreciated. We enjoyed the evenings in the screened-in porch, just listening to the river. Also, Melanie brings pet-friendly to a whole new level. Besides the fully fenced in 3rd acre, covers are provided should your dogs go on the couch or bed. She also had bowls,leashes, and treats. This was by far the best time my boys had at a cabin! I'm so happy we discoved this gem, and the only thing "bad" was having to leave. Thank you, Melanie, for allowing our stay with our dogs, and we now have a favorite place to stay in the GA mountains.

Away from it all, but not too far

The property was exactly as described and even better than the pictures. The location was perfect away from everything but 10 -15 minutes to all Blue Ridge has to offer. Our “city” pup loved the fenced in yard. Cocoa is only 8 lbs but there was not a spot I could see where she would be able to get out. There are cabins nearby so you may end up sharing the creek but most of the time we had it to our selves. Check-in and communication were flawless and the property was clean and well stocked. Washer / dryer is a big bonus!

Best Stay in Blue Ridge

My husband, myself, my 7 year old son and our cat Icecream chose this cabin because of it's proximity to the creek and it wasn't overly large. It was very clean, very cozy, and had everything we could possibly need, including floats for the river, firewood for the pit, and even a few fishing rods. The screened in porch facing the creek was probably where we spent most of our time. It was definitely the best stay we've had so far and will absolutely return again!

Perfect peaceful and dog friendly

This was our third trip to Blue Ridge. We have stayed in great cabins before, but this cottage was the perfect spot for us. So well equipped and situated. The fenced in grass yard was fabulous, allowing the dogs run and have access to their familiar turf. The patio was absolutely perfect for relaxing with the sounds of the creek. Very clean, everything we needed. We will be back. Such a special place. Thanks for letting us enjoy Firefly Cottage.

Charming Cottage

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at Firefly Cottage. Every possible need was met for us and our rescue dog, Apollo. The location on the creek was so beautiful and the sounds so tranquil. We had a fire in the fire pit every night of our stay and enjoyed a glass of wine or cup of coffee while our dog played in the huge fenced in yard. We had a blast hiking and visiting the local wineries and charming downtown Blue Ridge. We cooked every day and everything we needed was in the kitchen right down to a cheese grater. The location was ideal as there were not a lot of steep winding roads that always make me a little queasy. It was secluded without being remote. We hope to return next winter.

Thanksgiving 2023

My husband, sister and I had a wonderful stay at your beautiful cottage! It was a really perfect & peaceful Thanksgiving for our family. The dogs loved the huge yard and it was very relaxing to sit by the fire pit or on the porch just enjoying the sound of the creek. This was one of the most comfortable places we’ve stayed, well stocked with everything you might need. We would definitely be interested in staying here again on our next visit. Appreciate the communication with our host. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your home and enjoy time with our family.

Why they chose this property

We have spent several years traveling the North GA Mountains to find the perfect
vacation home. Eventually, we stumbled on Blue Ridge, GA, and well,
it was love at first sight. However, we knew his property was too
special not to share with others, which is why we are so happy to
have you stay at our little cottage on the creek!
