Above The River – your riverfront getaway in Blue Ridge

Getting away from it all

Above The River has been a long time favorite cabin rental for many seeking adventure in the North Ga mountains or wanting to “get away from it all”. Above The River now has new owners and is available for you to rediscover or make your new memories. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath riverfront rental cabin is located on the Upper Toccoa River approximately a 15-20 minute drive from Blue Ridge, Blairsville and Ellijay.

If you are familiar with the area, Above The River is located off of Fish Hatchery Road, near the Chattahoochee Fish Hatchery, the Toccoa Swinging Bridge, the Appalachian Trail, Benton MacKaye Trail and so much more. You are right in the middle of all the outdoor adventure that you would ever want! Just yesterday, I discovered a back road to the Toccoa Swinging Bridge, less that 2 miles from this cabin! I wouldn’t suggest you try this back road without a 4WD, I had to cross a stream 8″ deep and travel down a rough road to get there, but it is close!

But maybe you aren’t really looking for adventure as much as you need to escape your busy life and the city, well Above The River is just the place for you! With your comfort in mind, you will find a fully equipped kitchen, gas fireplace, wireless internet (in case you really want to re-connect for a little while), satellite TV, a game room with a full sized ping pong and foosball table, and of course a hot tub out on the deck where you can see and hear the river below.

Should you decide that you do want to venture out, I would suggest that you look at my Top 10 Things to do in Blue Ridge. Almost all of these activities are within a short drive from your cabin (with the exception of whitewater rafting which would be about a 30-40 minute drive).

As I was driving around the area yesterday, I stopped and took a few pictures of the locals to share with you too!

The deer were aware I was there, but they didn’t seem too concerned about me. . .

the turkeys wouldn’t me get any closer to them, every time I moved, they moved further away.

I was the only person at the Toccoa Swinging Bridge today, it was very peaceful and quiet.
