We just wanted a long weekend right after Thanksgiving & chose this place. I have to say the kitchen was the best! Everything you needed! I have stayed at a lot of places and there is never enough plates, silverware, pans, bowls. Everything you need was here. I used the grill to cook the kids hotdogs, it lit right up and we cleaned it right after! Washer & dryer worked excellent! (Bring soap) The kids loved the place and the sound of the creek was amazing. We tried to fish & it didn’t work out. There is literally ONE small thing I would change, & it’s minor which is the quality of sheets lol. I am a sheet SNOB, 800 thread count lol. The beds were nice, everything was great. He took us at the last minute and was it worth the trip! Be careful driving around the mountain roads the locals drive FAST. One car went off the side. During which we were in trouble needing another way to the cabin & Dave responded so fast. We went to Blue Ridge, and to dinner. I would say rent this one 100%

We enjoyed our stay at Dave’s cabin! The location itself was very peaceful and I really enjoyed all the beauty in the nature around it. Getting there was a little difficult because we arrived in the dark, but Dave gave us detailed directions prior to arrival which helped a ton. As to fishing in the pond, I wouldn’t even bother. There are maybe 5 tiny fish in the entire pond. Also, we had issues with the fireplace one night but one of the property managers actually came by the following night to fix it. Dave and Roxanne were both so helpful and quick to respond. Overall I would say great hosts and beautiful piece of land. The cabin itself is a little older and could definitely use a little more fixing up.

AMAZING!! PERFECT!!
We had the best time here! It's one of our top favorite rentals ever.
A perfect getaway to rest, relax, and recharge. 10 out of 10. Definitely recommend!! Sit by the creek, listen to the water, watch the wildlife. Enjoy the fire pit surrounded by nature. Relax in a rocking chair beside the beautiful pond on a great deck. Soak in the hot tub on the beautiful back deck with a covered outdoor kitchen.
The outdoor space is always my favorite "room of the house" ... this place had it all and then some.
Inside was beautiful as well. Very spacious, perfect for 2 families to share.
We most definitely will return!!!

PLEASE NOTE::: A couple of pointers..
**Arrive during daylight hours, the last mile of the drive can get a little tricky, and GPS is incorrect for the last mile.
(they will give you step by step directions in link after reserved)
** Bring food And anything you made need a store is a bit of a drive. 25mins..
However, walmart supercenter is open 24 hours.

Just as listed, very private, quiet place. We didn’t even go anywhere just stayed in and cooked and relaxed the whole time. Will be coming back!

"Absolute blast"

My family and I had an absolute blast over the holiday weekend. I have 2 kids, ages 11 and 6, they spent the entire time fishing in the pond and playing in the river. Our dog also loved loved every minute we were there. We've stayed at a lot of rentals and this was by far the most furnished home we've stayed in. Especially in the kitchen, it made making dinner each night very easy. We will definitely be returning in the future.

"Airbnb Review #961608537570341480 #212425"

Absolutely beautiful! We had the best time, We’ll definitely be staying again in the future.

"Airbnb Review #952878682797406766 #210875"

Amazing place - well kept inside and out - lots of fish caught - deer sightings and fun in the creek. My family and our dog had a fabulous time plenty of room inside and outside - can’t wait to come back - we loved it

"Loved this Restful Retreat"

We all absolutely loved Heaven on the Waterfront! What a beautiful home with everything we could have possibly wanted in a rental - very roomy and comfortable. We especially loved the porch with all the rocking chairs overlooking the pond where we could listen to the creek, as well as the chairs down by the creek. We enjoyed fishing in both the creek and the pond and caught several fish (catch and release). We enjoyed it so much, we never went into Blue Ridge or Elijay. Everyone said it was the perfect getaway - we only wish we could have stayed longer! Can't wait to return. Thanks for sharing it with us.

"Airbnb Review #921002289337056679 #203816"

Our kids enjoyed the pond and fishing! Although the weather didn’t cooperate, we still made the best of it. The cabin was spacious and we enjoyed the porches, table tennis, and the fenced yard for the dog!

"Heaven on the Waterfront - A Serene Retreat Amidst Nature's Beauty"

My family and I had the most incredible week at "Heaven on the Waterfront." From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the picturesque pond setting and relaxing creek sounds that instantly put us in a state of tranquility. The property's charm was accentuated by the presence of numerous majestic trees, making us feel like we were staying right in the heart of a serene forest.

The location of this property was just perfect. Despite being immersed in nature, we were pleasantly surprised to find that it was conveniently close to town, allowing for easy access to shopping and delicious dining experiences. This blend of seclusion and accessibility struck a perfect balance for our vacation.

The spacious rooms were an absolute delight, and the modern kitchen was a chef's dream. We thoroughly enjoyed preparing meals together and found all the necessary cooking items readily available, making the experience stress-free and enjoyable.

Dave, our host, was incredibly responsive and provided all the information we needed in advance of our stay - from restaurant recommendations to all the local hiking trails. He reached out multiple times to ensure we had everything we needed.

Another standout feature was the ample supply of towels, which catered to our family of 7 with ease. It's the little details like this that really make a difference in providing a comfortable and pleasant stay.

Above all, the highlight of our trip was the overwhelming sense of calm and relaxation that surrounded us throughout our stay. The property's enchanting ambiance, combined with the soothing sounds of nature, made it feel like a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Our time at "Heaven on the Waterfront" left us with unforgettable memories, and we are already planning our next trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains. If you're seeking a peaceful, rejuvenating getaway amidst breathtaking scenery, this property is an absolute gem. We can't recommend it enough!

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Heaven on the Waterfront. The house was beautifully furnished and had everything we needed for cooking and resting! The pond was pretty and the creek and firepit were the best! We plan to book another stay next year for our family. If you are looking for a beautiful, quiet place to rest and relax, this is for you! We highly recommend Heaven on the Waterfront!

"Airbnb Review #897176907496868855 #199101"

My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary this weekend, and we wanted to find a place that was secluded, large enough to house our family members who joined us on the trip, and of course, relaxing. Dave's cabin checked all of our boxes and then some, lol.

Dave is a great host and easy to reach if necessary. I would certainly recommend giving strong consideration to using his cabin if it's available if you're looking for a place to stay in that area. You will not be disappointed with your visit.

Thank you again for allowing my family and I the opportunity to celebrate our very special occasion at your beautiful cabin.

"Five stars for sure!"

My wife and I had an amazing time at Heaven on the Waterfront. It was just the 2 of us in this big, beautiful cabin. It could not have been more perfect.
First of all, when you first pull up to the property, you are in awe of its beauty. It is surrounded by tree covered mountains and there is a beautiful pond in front of the cabin.
The property is clean and inviting. The cabin itself is gorgeous. High end appliances in the kitchen. We were amazed how much room is in this cabin! It was just the 2 of us but would easily accommodate our entire family and possibly even multiple families, depending on sleeping arrangements.

What I was most impressed with were the small touches. There was a nice welcome basket on the table when we arrived... with a bottle of red wine and some various snacks. The cabin had pretty much everything we needed... even down to small details like ziplock bags, and plastic wrap. It was stocked like you would stock your own home.
There were 2 coffee makers, one traditional and one Keurig... and a nice selection of Keurig coffee pods complimentary. They even had a brand new bag of Lavazza ground coffee for the standard coffee pot as well!
The large wraparound porch on the front was amazing. We sat out there often, just enjoying the view. The pond was gorgeous and it even has a water feature to it that just added to the ambience. Behind the pond is Fightingtown Creek which is a larger, rapidly moving creek. The sound of it in the background was so relaxing.
The back deck was incredible as well. It has a covered area with grill and fish cleaning station. And it has an amazing hot tub that we enjoyed often!
And one of the best features as well was a fenced-in backyard for our pups. We had 2 little King Charles Cavalier spaniels with us and that fenced yard was so handy! They should certainly advertise the fenced yard in their description as it is a big deal to most dog owners!

And fishing... if you are a fisherman, this place is amazing! Pretty much every morning, I went out with my cup of coffee, sat on the dock and fished for bass and sunfish. I caught some really good-sized largemouth bass... and a couple of the sunfish were as big (if not heavier) than the bass! I had an incredible time fishing there. Also, there are supposedly some good trout in Fightingtown Creek, but I didn't have as much luck in there. Not to worry, though because I went down to Tammen Park in Blue Ridge, on the Toccoa River and caught a bunch of rainbow and brown trout with both my spinning reel and fly fishing rods.
The initial drive to the cabin is a little intimidating. Small, windy roads and the last mile or 2 of the drive is on a one lane dirt road that winds beautifully along Fightingtown Creek. However, after driving it a few times, it was not really intimidating at all. It was almost exactly 20 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge. Easy drive.
The listing says that navigation will lead you astray. I used my iPhone navigation and it was dead on... until the last 500 feet, where it tries to take you down a driveway just before your actual driveway, but there are signs at that point, pointing you in the right direction. Cell service is spotty there but the wi-fi in the house was excellent. Had a mesh wi-fi system and I could get wi-fi connection all the way down to the creek!

There were only a couple of cons but they were SO minor on the scale of things:
1) Bed was only so-so comfortable (1st floor master). A new mattress or even a mattress topper would be an improvement. My wife also wished for a fluffy down comforter.
2) One lane road going in will make some people uncomfortable but if you go slow enough and pay attention, it's really not that bad. You definitely do NOT need a 4x4 to get there.

Overall, we couldn't have been happier. I've only touched the surface of how many amazing things this cabin has... otherwise this review would be 10 pages long! The overall experience was one of my favorite cabin rentals ever (and we've rented multiple cabins in the Blue Ridge area over the years). We will definitely be back!!

"Cozy Cabin"

Really neat property with beautiful pond! Great front porch! Stocked kitchen. Cozy fireplace.

"Airbnb Review #866014323402844061 #195510"

Spent Easter weekend at Dave's place and it rained almost the entire time :(.

Fortunately, we had this beautiful cabin to enjoy the rest and relaxation that only a rainy weekend can bring. The fenced in backyard was a huge bonus so we didn't even have to put any effort into letting the dogs do their business. My wife and I loved the modern kitchen and the massive shower in the master bathroom. The kids loved going down to the creek to hunt for "crystals" and the bonus room over the garage made them feel like they had a place of their own.

Made our way to downtown Blue Ridge on Saturday where my wife and daughter went shopping and my boys and I hit the arcade/mini golf place right off the strip. Most of the time though, we were content to sit on the porch rocking chairs and listen to the rain fall on the pond.

Thanks Dave for taking such good care of us.

"Amazing Weekend in the Wilderness"

We loved our weekend stay at the Waterfront! This home was very well stocked, clean, and prepared for our family to really be able to relax and unwind! The beauty of the landscape was as well amazing and a very much peaceful setting. Spend the days enjoying nature, fishing, hiking, playing in creek, and also unwind in the hot tub. I would recommend this home for your getaway 6 out of 5! The host was very helpful and replied in a very timely manner.

"Airbnb Review #847889702685056725 #191815"

I was looking to take my family someplace quiet where we could disconnect, decompress, and enjoy each others company for Spring Break, and this place did not disappoint! The house was clean and well furnished, and the outdoor space couldn’t have been more ideal. It was private, serene, and breathtakingly beautiful! Dave was great! He was responsive, helpful, and provided a ton of useful area information. I would absolutely recommend and look forward to returning in the future!

"Airbnb Review #830510466754580712 #189101"

This cabin was PERFECT!! The Host was very attentive and responded to all questions fast. The cabin and the view was outstanding. Defiantly 10 STARS!! Loved everything about the cabin!!! Thanks to Dave. Book this cabin you won’t regret anything!!!

"Oasis in Georgia"

Knew the moment we saw the dog treats left for our dog that the owner of the home cared! So many little touches, like having firewood sitting by the pit next to the creek. Amazing hearing the crackling of the fire and roaring of the rushing creek. The ambiance was amazing! They even drain the hot tub between guests! Would definitely stay here again!

"Airbnb Review #800045907924661772 #184234"

Dave was a great host, the cabin and property was put together so well, the decking was beautiful and easily accessible from any point. The pond is small but nice to see. I wish the property was more secluded, but the price and drive was more than worth it. Dave took great care of us and was extremely responsive on all fronts. 10/10 would rent again

"Ton of space, saw a family of deer"

I drove up and was greeted by a family of deer. There is absolutely a ton of space here and everyone felt like we could be together when we wanted and take a nap away from noise if we wanted as well. There are more than enough pots and pans and dishes. I wish the game room had some form of heat (it was 2 degrees while here) but the the views are beautiful and offers all the peace and quit you need.

"Perfect cabin for us!"

We absolutely love this area & loved the cabin , the pond, the Creek! Loved where it is at, the location. Loved the stove as we love to cook! Loved getting in the hot tub in the morning with coffee & watching the deer everyday! ❤️❤️❤️

"New Review"

We had a great 5 Star stay at the property. The home is well appointed with cozy spaces for the entire family to spread out. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces as well, and the firepit by the creek was perfect to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals for the entire family. Dave was a great communicator and was very responsive to last minute requests. We look forward to our next stay here.

"Airbnb Review #760229217322676025 #178278"

My family and doggies loved our stay at Heaven on the Waterfront. The location and grounds are absolutely beautiful. You couldn't ask for a better creek! The kitchen had all the equipment needed to make you feel at home. Communication with the property manager was great, just be warned that cell service is definitely spotty at the cabin! I would love to return one day in the warmer months.

"Airbnb Review #744886396076337808 #175160"

Lovely space. Very remote which is what I wanted. Huge house with plenty of privacy.

"Airbnb Review #727474366955922582 #171976"

Enjoyed the view from the porch and also hearing the nice stream! Kitchen had everything you’d ever need!

"Airbnb Review #723908128826919160 #171687"

Awesome home, you can feel all the special memories that have been made here and make some of your own as well. Hands down one of the best AirBNBs I’ve experienced. 5 stars!

"Airbnb Review #714490532176448309 #170932"

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin for so many reasons! This cabin space was great as there is ample space for your group to gather together or space to be separate when needed. The bedrooms are all a great size and we loved that two of the rooms had separate beds so the kids did not fight having to share a bed!
The kitchen and porches were my personal favorite! The fenced backyard was a nice addition for any dogs or small children to be able to have a space.
Of course the main attraction of the pond and creek did not disappoint. We caught some of the largest brim we have ever seen in the pond!
Communication was spot on as the power went out briefly for us and the owners responded quickly with the status of the outage!
We will be back!

"Airbnb Review #719551477507715728 #170867"

My family and I loved the privacy and total seclusion as we relaxed on our front porch. The hot tub was a bonus,,,in addition to all other amenities. This was our first stay there but won't be our last.
Warm Regards,
Mrs Farrington

"Exactly as advertised"

A perfect location for my family and our dogs. Great set up, well stocked, wonderful communication. Wifi kept up connected. Great place to stay.

"Airbnb Review #678909476826614911 #162860"

Heaven on the Waterfront was just what we needed! We had a girls weekend away in the mountains and stayed in the entire time because we didn’t want to leave the property! It is so gorgeous. We had our breakfast by the pond in the morning, afternoon cocktails sitting by the creek, let the pups run around in the fenced in area (major plus for dog owners!) and enjoyed soaking in the hot tub in the evening. Dave/hosts were very attentive, answered any questions we had, and provided tons of information about the area. We will be back!

"Peaceful Property"

The outside property was so beautiful and relaxing. The pond and creek were our favorite places to spend time. The teens loved the ping pong table in the garage. The interior of the house was spacious and comfortable. There were plenty of beds for the 7 of us to spread out. The property manager was quick to answer any questions we had and take care of any concerns we had. The house could use some more thorough cleaning. The master shower had no working fan so there was mildew growing there. Overall it was a comfortable home. We enjoyed the gas grill and hot tub. My family did not want to leave when our time was up!

"Tranquil reprieve"

This was my first VRBO rental and I could not be happier with the experience. The property is exactly as it is pictured - beautifully landscaped and very peaceful. Although there are neighboring properties, they are distant enough that I did not see anyone or hear anything. The home itself was spacious and clean with everything we needed to make ourselves feel at home. The only problem I had was that the property is so nice, we didn't want to leave! I look forward to returning to this lovely property again!

"We felt at home immediately"

Peaceful. Comfortable. Relaxing. We definitely enjoyed our time at the cabin. One of the few places we felt at home immediately. Fishing in the pond, sitting on the porch, walking by the creek, it’s all so relaxing. I would definitely stay there again.

"Best vacation in over a decade!"

Best vacation in over a decade! My family had not gotten together since Covid hit three years ago, and I couldn't have dreamed of a better place for a reunion. The cabin is spacious and luxurious, with thoughtful touches such as walking sticks stashed in nooks, extra warm blankets, family games, and pantry staples such as coffee, hot chocolate and spices. There was even a bottle of wine waiting for us.

The setting was amazing, although isolated, which of course was part of the charm. Set deep in the woods, the cabin faces a circular pond full of fish, ringed with flowers, and a turtle we named Mudpie. A firepit is a short walk away, overlooking a swift but musical creek. We had fun wading in the creek (a stout hiking stick and sturdy shoes, preferably with laces, REQUIRED for this- flip flops and slides *will not* cut it), finding rocks like quartz and flint for our collection. There is a jacuzzi tub in the main bedroom, along with a huge outdoor jacuzzi. The surrounding forest was green, and the air crisp- rejuvenating in a way I can only call spiritual.

There is so much to do in the area, but after a single supply run into town, we never left the property. We were completely happy with the amenities available, and spent our time by the creek, on the big front porch, in the jacuzzi, playing games by the gas fireplace, watching movies on the multiple large tvs, or making huge family meals in the gourmet kitchen. There's also a ping pong table and exercise machine, but we didn't even have time to get to that.

If you have the chance to stay here, please take it. The host is very responsive, and there is a manager on duty who answers on the first ring. The place is clean, comfortable and modern. It's more beautiful than the pictures show. Thank you, Dave, for providing a place where my family could reconnect.

"Peaceful"

very peaceful location , if your looking to get away , relax and enjoy nature this place is for you ! it's about 15-20 min to the town of blueridge, but once you are here you won't want to leave.

"Hidden Gem"

The photos for this listing do not do it justice, especially the outside grounds. It is truly a beautiful place. The pond has several fountains that keep the water moving and prevent stagnant water. My boys (12 & 9) loved watching the fish, turtle and frogs. There is also direct access to a creek/river and we spent an entire afternoon exploring and wading in the water. The weather was hot but by the creek it felt a good 10 degrees cooler. One bonus that we didn't see in the initial write up was there was a fenced in yard. This made it nice for us to let out our beagle so he could run around and we didn't have to worry about him running off. The house itself was very spacious with way more room than my family of 4 needed but it let us spread out. There is a really nice jacuzzi tub in the master bath that worked well also. We would definitely stay here again and the owner and property managers were great with communications. Only downside was the early check out at 10am. It would be great if that could be pushed back to noon. One recommendation we would also have would be to add a streaming option like a Chromecast so we could cast our own streaming services to the main living room TV. Ultimately though I would highly recommend staying here, especially if you want a place to get away and relax in nature.

"Great place"

Great place to get away and connect with nature.

"Amazing getaway property"

We decided to get away from Camp Shelby MS, and do some vacation time in the mountains, it was an excellent property with all of the amenities, we enjoyed every second of our time there, to the camp fire by the creek, to cooking on the grill, to watching movies in the living room.forna small drive it was a small drive to wamart, shoppping, and some great restaurants. I would say this has been the best property I have stayed in, would recommend 100 percent.

"Wonderful"

Everything was wonderful, and we had zero complaints. We were very comfortable during our stay and had everything we needed.

"Absolute dream location"

An absolute dream of a location. 10/10 Would reccomend. Great communication with the host. Amazing wifi, especially considering how far away from civilization you are. Incredible creekside view.

"We had the best time at Heaven on the Waterfront!"

This was a last minute Mother's Day trip and I'm so glad we chose this cabin. My two daughters, 8 and 3, made such amazing memories here with my dad fishing in the pond. My 8 year caught her first little bass!
The layout was perfect. Plenty of room for the 6 of us!
The firepit and sitting area down by the water truly was heavenly. It did not take long to understand why this property was named Heaven on the Waterfront. It was exactly that!

There was a list attached to our welcome email with local activities and restaurants to choose from. We ended up using these instead of what we had originally planned. It made for a very Mather's Day family weekend.

I highly recommend this cabin for a great escape into nature or to simply get away and unwind from the day to day grind.
