Guests describe this as a peaceful, private retreat and praise hosts Jasmine and Dustin's responsiveness
Wake to mist rising off your own private pond, coffee in hand on the dock, not another soul in sight. The Rustic Ruby is a 2.5-acre waterfront retreat 15 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge — mornings mean fishing off the dock, afternoons mean the fire pit swing and mountain views, nights mean a sky so dark you can count the stars. Two cozy bedrooms, two gas fireplaces, a screened deck over the water. This isn't a cabin near the water — it's a cabin ON the water, all to yourselves.
The space
Tucked at the bottom of a quiet driveway on 2.5 private acres, The Rustic Ruby just got a refresh — fresh paint, softer light, updated finishes — while keeping its 1940s cabin charm. The living room greets you with a stone-hearth gas fireplace, oversized seating, a Smart TV with a large DVD library, and board games ready for family night. High-speed Starlink internet keeps everyone connected when they want to be, and disconnected when they don't.
The primary bedroom is a retreat of its own — a plush king bed, a second gas fireplace just for this room, and shiplap walls that catch the morning light. The guest bedroom offers a queen bed and the same quiet comfort, and a pullout sofa in the living room adds sleeping space for a fifth guest — easy for two couples or a small family. Soft linens and generous closet storage mean you can actually unpack.
The kitchen has been refreshed with clean lines, a GE stainless steel induction stove, full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, and everything you need to cook a real meal — cookware, bakeware, blender, coffee maker, wine glasses, and kids' dishes are all stocked. The dining table sits guests for slow breakfasts, with a view toward the pond glimmering just beyond the window. The bathroom has been refreshed too — fresh towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash waiting, with a bathtub for soaking after a day on the water.
Outside, a screened-in deck overlooks the pond and a large private dock is yours to fish from — bass, trout, catfish, and bluegill all bite here. A custom swing fire pit anchors the evenings, and a propane grill with outdoor dining area makes cooking outside as easy as in, with 2.5 acres of yard for kids and pets to roam.
Guest access
You'll have full private access to the entire cabin and every outdoor space — the screened-in deck, the dock overlooking the pond, the fire pit, outdoor dining and seating, the full kitchen and living spaces, and both bedrooms. There are no shared spaces on the property — it's all yours. Check-in is fully self-service with a smart lock after 4:00 PM, and Jasmine and Dustin are always just a message away if you need anything.

Neighborhood highlights
The Rustic Ruby sits on a quiet 2.5-acre parcel just 15 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge, Georgia — close enough for an easy dinner out, far enough that you'll hear the creek and crickets instead of traffic.
Ride the rails on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway, a scenic route through mountain valleys and small towns just minutes from the cabin. Chase waterfalls at Falls Branch, a short drive away. Spend an afternoon at Morganton Point Recreation Area on Lake Blue Ridge, with beach access and picnic tables. Paddle a kayak or paddleboard on the lake's calm water, or float the gentle Toccoa River.
For more adventure, the Blue Ridge swinging bridge is about 30 minutes away, and Blue Ridge Canopy Tours puts you above the forest floor on a zipline circuit. Local stables offer trail rides through the mountains. Downtown Blue Ridge, 15 minutes out, delivers antique shops, wineries, orchards, and small-town dining.
