Whitewater Wilderness- Riverside Retreat | Outdoor Living | Luxury Kitchen

Fightingtown Creek in Blue Ridge, Georgia is a small waterway with strong currents that act 'big' like a river. If you are looking for a quiet spot in nature where the only noise you'll hear is the white noise of nearby white water rapids - then you'll want to stay at a beautiful North Georgia cabin rental appropriately named for this magical location.

Whitewater Wilderness lodge is off of private roads and is a favorite among those looking for a cozy place in a woodsy setting. This all-log construction home is custom-built and has a stone-front entry and architecturally- thoughtful details. The home is in a slightly elevated spot so that it sits just perfectly within a canopy of trees and just above the creek enough to catch a glint of light dancing along its water course. Feeling adventurous? Venture down 152 stairs through the woods to get to the water's edge!

Sit outside on the home's magnificent covered deck to take in the sounds of nature and the creek's soothing water. This deck is ideal for entertaining with living-room style, big-cushion patio furniture and a large coffee table for setting down a drink as you warm up by the outdoor stone fireplace. Just steps away are two grills — one gas and one charcoal — as well as an outdoor sink offering a wonderful spot to master your meal.

Back inside, the warm and inviting living area is filled with large and upscale leather furniture. Rich and handsome hardwood flooring is throughout, adding that much more warmth to this inviting home whose owners have simply thought of everything.

In the main living area, an 8 person dining table and a fully-stocked kitchen with gorgeous stone countertops and stainless steel appliances offer all of the amenities of home and then some. The open floor plan allows for flow between the rooms and a great view to the fireplace and enormous flat screen TV.

Climb up the stately stairway with its beautifully crafted, log and twisted mountain laurel wood railings and you'll find two amazing bedrooms, each having its own private stone bathroom. An additional bedroom is located off the main level with a Jacuzzi tub and the fourth bedroom is on the lower level. All bedrooms have their own private bathroom; a pillow-top, king-sized bed and their own television.

On the lower level of the home you'll also find a game room complete with billiards, and another large flat screen television for the whole family to enjoy. Just steps away is the lower level deck with large 6-person hot tub to unwind further from all the fun and relaxation you've experienced during your stay.

Enjoy the unique nature at Whitewater Wilderness lodge where the calmly rushing flow of waters soothes your stress away. This amenity-filled home is sure to provide the perfect haven to create your great vacation memories.

We enjoyed the cabin. But they do need a rail on the stairs going down to the game room. And the steps going down to the water wasn’t fixed while we were there.

Weekend Mountain Retreat
Great weekend in the mountains! The house was exactly as advertised, clean, well appointed and perfect for our group (4 adult couples). We had one minor challenge with the house but it is a positive for this review because the property manager had someone at the house within 30 minutes. We’d rent this home again.

Nice 80th Birthday venue
This is a perfect place for four couples that all have the same needs as the bedrooms are all pretty much the same with king size beds and nice baths. If anyone has climbing issues then this is not the house for them. The road up there is pretty terrible but it's a very nicely done cabin. For me a few lights extra around the property would be greatly appreciated as with some outdoor fans. They did have a brand new barbecue for our use which was wonderful since we did steaks for the birthday party. The house was well stocked with every kind of dish and Trey imaginable. I wish they had told us that they didn't even give us one morning's worth of coffee because usually in places we've stayed they put enough for at least eight cups of coffee. Our family called it "the palace" so they liked it quite a bit.

Amazing cabin
This was the perfect property for our family of 5. Plenty of room, comfortable beds, awesome outdoors. The game room, hot tub and outside fireplace were highly entertaining. My boys loved playing in the creek. It’s quite a hike back up, but the wooden steps make it so easy. Would highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful Girls Trip
We often use VRBO and this house by far was cleanest, well stocked, spectacular home. The management team responded to questions immediately and when we needed help with lighting the inside has fireplace, management sent someone right away. The outdoor covered seating area with a wood burning fireplace allowed for cozy fireside chats even when the weather turned wet & rainy. We would highly recommend this lovely home!

Beautiful Clean Upscale Cabin
Beautifully appointed , well-maintained and clean cabin home conveniently located to Blue Ridge activities. The kitchen appliances and amenities are the only downfall and or badly in need of replacement!! The refrigerator needs to be replaced as it didn’t cool properly and both three fridge raider and freezer significantly smelled like old dead fish, the toaster was broken and there was barely enough silverware for six people. The video games were a nice touch in the basement however they were broken. Each of these things are easy to fix and wouldn’t be a dealbreaker for this lovely home that is otherwise very nice.

Bedrooms were great, however with the ability to sleep eight, the living area only had seating for six…kitchen cutlery was short of several pieces for our party of eight. When we reported the ice maker not working, the property manager was there within thirty minutes with bags of ice..very helpful.

Wonderful vacation with amazing view
We went to Blue Ridge for a family and friend vacation before the kids had to go back to school. We were not disappointed with this cabin. Not only was the view incredible but the cabin was as well and so cozy. It was the perfect set up for our friends and family. Everyone was very comfortable. Everyone loved the river, we were down there just about everyday. It’s very peaceful and relaxing. The hike down to the river can be difficult for older people or small children. Otherwise it was very fun. We barely left the cabin. The kitchen was fully loaded, we were able to cook some really great meals and sit by the fire at night in the seating area. We loved the seclusion and privacy. I would recommend a vehicle with 4 wheel drive to make it up the mountain. We enjoyed the hot tub and game room. Such a fun trip I hope we make it back one day.

Smaller than expected
The pictures on line make the living area look larger than it is. Windows need cleaned badly. All the porches had not been swept and green with mold. Very dark inside. Needs updated inside. Porch railing off the main house was very loose and wobbly... It was taped with only caution tape, very dangerous, I told the manager in charge and she said railings have been ordered. I told her it should be reinforced with a rope or something, that's a big drop off the back porch. Fireplace downstairs wouldn't light, but after I called the correct person, she came right away and fixed it. Had some issues with the TV's ..I think all these things should have been checked and cleaned prior to anyone checking in. High price to pay for everything not being perfect when you arrive.

Mid Oct Trip
We thoroughly enjoyed the cabin amenities especially the covered outdoor fire place on a nippy evening. The creek below the cabin gave a calming sound through out the day and evening. Each bedroom has a king bed and large bathroom. Easy to find and close to both Blue Ridge and McCaysville/Copperhill. There was plenty to see within a 60 mile radius with hiking, waterfalls, not too far from the highest point (Brasstown Bald) in Georgia. Also for those who enjoy shopping Blue Ridge has something for everyone.

Not terrible, not great...3 1/2 stars
Online, this property looks incredible. In person, the location is beautiful and exciting. We did enjoy our overall stay and the short trips we took into Blue Ridge. The location is perfect. For the record, we have stayed in many different types of cabins in and around Blue Ridge. Each one is unique and each has their pluses and minuses. With this cabin, the online pictures and extras didn't match what is actually there. Two big things (for me) that were disappointing, was the fact that they have gaming systems and games there, but almost every single game was missing from the boxes. Also, the board games they had were missing pieces or batteries to where you couldn't play. Of course, we didnt want the kids gaming the entire time, but when we first arrived, everyone was tired from our drive and the kids wanted to just chill and do their own thing that evening. The younger two (10 &12) were the ones most let down by that. Also,there is not a air hockey machine as others have mentioned. We also had to replace batteries in some of the tv remotes. Speaking of remotes, the remotes were filthy! To me, that was not acceptable considering we are in a pandemic and cleanliness is of utmost importance. Whoever is cleaning the cabins needs to be given instructions on proper cleaning, with special attention to cleaning all high touch areas. Seeing pure filth built up over time on the remotes by many people's grubby hands was just gross. We found hair in the beds, which had me concerned that the sheets hadn't even been washed. We did enjoy the hot tub and going down to the creek. It was rather shallow considering all the rain that had came through before our stay, but gorgeous and fun, nonetheless. We enjoyed the workout going up and down the hill to get to the creek. It should also be noted that if you have anyone in your group who is unable to climb stairs, don't come here. You have no choice but to walk down some stairs from the driveway to get to the front door. This home is not ADA friendly. We used to travel with my MIL and this would have been a nightmare if we rented this place with her with us. I just expected to have all that was advertised in the listing, and it just wasn't there. Add the hairy sheets and filthy remotes to it and I can't say I'd recommend this place. I wish I could leave a better review, but people should know the truth. Hopefully they accurately update the listing and raise their cleaning standards. Peace.

Perfectly situated right on Fightingtown Creek. Easy access to Blue Ridge and surrounding area. The cabin was clean, quaint and full of thoughtful touches. Communication was simple and fast and we had no issues. We especially loved the outdoor fireplace and sitting area as well as sitting on the many decks listening to the flowing water.

Nice with a few glitches.
Overall this place was pretty good with lots of room for 4 couples. All bedrooms are spacious with nice big bathrooms but do not pick the bedroom on the main floor because you will here every single noise from the bedroom above you. Give this room to someone who is hard of hearing or your third favorite couple. Also, one of the pics on vrbo show that there is an air hockey table, which several of our group wanted to use, in the game room but there is not. This pic should be removed. The outside grilling area is very nice but should have the dust and pollen washed away between rentals. Lastly the creek you see is very nice but it's a strenuous walk down to it and back up from it.
