About this property

WOW!!! Creek and Large stocked pond Waterfront Cabin in the National Forest

We have a no pet policy. Trout Run Cabin is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath real log cabin located on the banks of Fightingtown Creek, a protected trout steam. The cabin sleeps 6 comfortably. No pets, no smoking, no hot tub.

We are a family destination not a party location. It is very quiet here and we like it that way. If you like whimsy, you will love it here. The pictures tell the story.

At Trout Run Cabin you can take long walks back into the forest for miles or sit on the porch and read a book. How about sitting by the fire pit out back at night making s'mores while listening to the crystal clear water rushing by. The sounds of the forest are all around you. This is a very peaceful place. Lots of flat areas for the children to run and play. Bring their bikes and they can ride all day long.

No license needed to fish in the pond out front.

Inside you will find 2 premium king size beds: One in the master suite and the other in the loft suite. Also, there is a set of bunk beds in the bunk room. All beds have 1500 Egyptian cotton thread count sheets.

Come Relax and Re-energize.

Blue Ridge Mountains Christmas

Becaue we live in Tampa, we usually try to get to a cold climate during the Christmas holiday. This year we decided in the Georgia Blue Ridge mountains and we weren't disappointed. The cozy house was perfect. The fireplace was awesome and kept us warm during the chilly nights. The sound of the backyard creek was heavenly as we hung out around the firepit. We made friends with Buster, the neighborhood dog and he hung out with us as well.The kids loved skipping rocks on the pond and running around with Buster. We.couldnt have asked for a better time and the memories made will last foreever. We will definitely be back

Cherry Log Cabin

The property was well-supplied and very clean. We tried to go fishing, but after not much luck, one of the neighbors said it was fished out. The creek was so nice to sit beside and we enjoyed the neighbor’s dog, Buddy. The only things that would’ve made our stay better, would’ve been a TV upstairs and a hot tub. We would definitely stay here again though and would recommend.

Couples getaway

We had an amazing stay at a beautifully located cabin at the perfect time of the season for the leaves to change. Had a great time in downtown Blue Ridge great places to eat and go antiquing. Relaxed by the fire pit next to the creek listening to the beautiful sounds of nature. Also had fun, relaxing while fishing had a couple of bites and caught one fish that we released back into the pond. Enjoyed playing with the neighbors dogs, especially buddy. Mountainside market is a delicious and convenient place up in the mountain to eat and do minimal shopping.

Piece of Heaven

We all decided that this was the best yet. We enjoyed the cooler weather & some fall color. The cabin was perfect, most comfortable beds we have slept in. Everything we needed was there. The afternoon walks with Ellen, Buddy & the crew were priceless. Smores by the creek were so relaxing. I could go on & on about this cabin. We are already talking about next year. Thanks for a great week.

Off Grid

If you want to unwind and get back to nature this is the place for you. It is a short drive into Blue Ridge - but to be honest just shop on your way and unplug. Loved our time and walks with Buddy the neighbor's dog he is a treat. We will be returning for sure.

Family Fun for Labor Day Weekend

The creek was just steps from the back porch and provided hours of fun - especially the inner tubes. Toasting marshmallows and making s'mores around the fire pit were great ways to close the day. The house is very clean over all, though there were some small spider webs on the hanging light fixtures- including the one over the kitchen table. The cabin itself is well stocked and cozy. It truly was a lovely, relaxing weekend with many happy memories made.

Did not want to leave

Great location and the area is gorgeous. The cabin is small but was just the right size for us and we loved our nightly visit from buddy the dog. Miss Ellen the neighbor is great and she can tell you about the area. This was also the easiest cabin too get to and Murray's directions were spot on and it's almost entirely paved 2 lane until the last 1/2 mile. But the cabin was great and we're hoping to stay there next year. It was very peaceful and relaxing and we enjoyed sitting by the fire pit every night listening to the creek.

Lovely mountain retreat!

We LOVED this place and definitely plan to return! The property is gorgeous, the house is thoughtfully stocked, and the neighbors are so friendly and welcoming. The downstairs king bed is a bit lumpy and I wish we could bring our dog, but otherwise this place was perfect for us!

Fun summer getaway

We really enjoyed Trout Run Cabin. The location was perfect with the creek on one side and pond on the other. The cabin was fully stocked with everything you need. You can either enjoy a day in Blue Ridge or relax at the cabin all day.

Accessibility Issues

Pros: Quiet, Nice home, peaceful once you get there. Fully furnished for cooking, which we did a lot of but didn't intend to. Cons: Traveling the roads to the home was a big obstacle. Even my country-boy husband was nervous. Long sections of roads full of potholes, large rocks, deep dropoffs because of pavement worn away from sides of road. Narrow roads with inability to get to the side if meet someone coming in opposite direction. Someone must back up. One section is a bog hole where stream overflows. We had to go 10 mph on gravel road sections, some were ripples of bumps. Because of the road conditions, it is not the place to stay if you want to go into the surrounding towns daily (several miles away). We dreaded the drives to town. Driving at night on the gravel roads and partially paved road sections is not advisable. Outside furniture was very dirty. We did not sit on them because we had nothing but their towels to use to clean them up, but did wipe the small table down to eat on it. The wipe used to wipe it down was black when finished. We fished 4 days in the pond, but "0" fish. It states on the website it is a "Large Stocked Pond." A lady feeds them. You can only fish in a small area in front of the home. Way over-priced to stay here based on road conditions and with all of the turns that must be made to access the place. Shame on not being given travel hazard warnings. Drive an automobile NOT low to the ground (thankfully ours wasn't).

Fantastic peaceful cabin

Our visit met and exceeded our expectations! Beds were super comfortable and loved the quiet location with the creek behind it by the fire pit. It is close enough to hiking trails, tubing down the river, visiting downtown Blue Ridge or just playing games or reading a book at the cabin. We would highly recommend this place! Buddy the dog made a daily appearance and met a few of the neighbors as well.

Great Spot Away from it all!

I took my kids (12 and 13) for a quick getaway from FL for spring break. We had a great time at this quaint cabin. The firepit and creek setup is just about perfection. We only left the cabin one day for a hike to the Amicalola Falls, but other than that, we just enjoyed relaxing in the quiet remote location.

Thanksgiving vacation

The place was very relaxing and clean. It was stocked with everything needed though we brought our own. We enjoyed building a fire inside each night and once in the outside firepit. We were looking forward to seeing the dogs that everyone has mentioned coming by, but we never saw them. We will book again if we get back to Blue Ridge.

Cute but dirty

We were looking forward to our stay but did not enjoy finding a used bandaid with blood on one of the pillows or the dirt/dust under the coffee table and cobwebs everywhere inside the cabin. It leads me to believe that our bedding was not washed in the first place. Do not recommend this place if you are looking for a clean cabin.

So restful!

We loved staying in this well-built cabin right on Fightingtown Creek, especially having the fire pit right behind the cabin and close to the creek. The cabin had everything we needed. I caught a couple of trout in the creek, but we didn't have much success fishing in the lake, as a neighbor feeds them bread everyday. We loved having level ground to play yard games and my young grandkids enjoyed floating short distances down the creek. Yet everyone would say relaxing and having s'mores by the fire pit nightly, while we listened to the creek, was our favorite. Thanks, Murray! We can't wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Murray

Host profile image
Growing up in Florida, I have always taken summer vacations to the mountains because it is so different. I love the outdoors so it is a natural thing to love the cabin. For me and my wife, it is a dream come true. We found the perfect place in the perfect location. We have young children and wanted a place that we could let them run and play and not have to worry. We found it. This is one of those items on the bucket list that has been fulfilled. We hope that our guests enjoy the cabin as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I had always wanted a cabin in the mountains, on a stream, with a lot of flat area. In June of 2012, we found everything we had been looking for. One of the first things I noticed when I first visited the cabin was how quiet is it and all you can hear is the sound of the creek rushing by. It is a special place and we are just happy that we are able to share it with others.

What makes this property unique

Trout Run Cabin is such a relaxing place. It is so quiet here. You can just sit back, relax and enjoy the sounds of the forest. One of the best things is that you feel so removed from everything yet you are only 20 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge. It is just an awesome place.
