About this property

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.

Perfect Stay at Lake Toxaway

We met ours friends from FL for a 3 night getaway as they were up for a local wedding. My husband and I are from Chapel Hill area and we wanted a place that could accommodate all 4 of us and our Chihuahua Henry. John was a great host, checking in with us periodically, etc. We had absolutely no issues. Everything was well stocked, comfortable and convenient. We day tripped to Brevard and Highlands. If you like antiques check out Mantique in Brevard and for coffee try Cup & Saucer. (Luckily we drove our truck so we could buy the big antique grain bin and sailboat weathervane that I loved.) We dined at the Edward’s Inn and shopped in Highlands… loved it! We ate dinner at the Old Station, the food was good and the atmosphere and service were really nice. Our friends had a picnic at Gorges Park and Whitewater Falls. It was another hi-light. We all agreed John’s place was perfect!

Great place for family

This is our first experience renting a house and they really set the bar high. First, I would like to state that, if you have a dog, walk the fence daily to ensure there aren’t any openings for your dog to get out. Ours got out, but we got her back thanks to our Fi collar. Second, this place is amazing! While we were here to visit family, we were still able to enjoy some of the local sites: Oscar Blues Brewery, White Squirrel Arcade, Downtown Brevard, and a few other spots. This house was very clean and has a lot of amenities. The host was amazing and made sure that we were enjoying our time on the property.

One of the best!

I have no complaints. The property was fantastic for a family- plenty of room (and barhroooms!) for everyone, huge dining table for family meals and games, convenient to great hikes, yummy restaurant a walk away but no traffic or noise to bother you at the house. My teen boys loved the wi, I loved early morning coffee on the porch with views of the lake. The host was SO easy to work with and accommodated a date change for us. Would recommend and want to check out his other properties!

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!

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.
