Heaven on the Waterfront gives you the best of both water worlds: rushing Fightingtown Creek behind the cabin, a peaceful private pond out front, and a spacious luxury cabin built for gathering, relaxing, fishing, playing, and soaking up the mountain-water setting.

Set on 4 private acres in Cashes Valley, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath cabin offers more than 250 feet of Fightingtown Creek frontage, a pond for fishing and relaxing, a hot tub, creekside fire pit, covered porches, chef’skitchen, game room, fast Wi-Fi, and room for up to 9 guests.

This is a rare group cabin where the outdoor setting is just as memorable as the home itself.

Best For

Family gatherings, multi-generation trips, two-family stays, couples traveling together, pet-friendly vacations, fishing weekends, hiking trips, and guests who want space, privacy, and a true mountain-water experience.

The Setting

At Heaven on the Waterfront, water defines the stay. Out front, the private pond creates a peaceful arrival and a beautiful place to fish, watch wildlife, or settle into a rocking chair with coffee. Behind the cabin, Fightingtown Creek brings the sound and movement of rushing water, with more than 250 feet of creek frontage to enjoy.

The cabin sits on 4 private acres in Cashes Valley, one of the most scenic and peaceful areas near Blue Ridge. This is the kind of property where guests can spend the whole day outside: coffee on the front porch, fishing at the pond, lunch on the deck, hot tub time after hiking, and s’mores beside the creek at night.

Inside the Cabin

Inside, Heaven on the Waterfront is designed for comfort, connection, and space. The main living area has a warm mountain-lodge feel with comfortable seating, a gas-log fireplace available seasonally from October through April, and a 4K TV for movie nights or slow mornings indoors.

The chef’s kitchen is one of the cabin’s standout features, with high-end appliances, generous prep space, a coffee bar, and everything needed for family meals, holiday cooking, or relaxed dinners at the cabin. The kitchen connects easily to the covered BBQ deck, making indoor-outdoor meals simple in every season.

The main-level primary king suite offers privacy and convenience, with an ensuite bath, double vanity, large shower, and garden tub. Upstairs, additional bedrooms provide flexible sleeping arrangements for families, kids, and couples. An upstairs living area with a 4K TV and picture window gives guests another place to relax, read, watch a movie, or spread out from the main gathering space.

Game Room & Indoor Fun

The game room gives families and groups another reason to stay, play, and enjoy the cabin. With ping pong, family games, 4K TVs, and multiple living spaces, Heaven on the Waterfront works well for rainy days, longer stays, mixed-age groups, and guests who want room to be together without feeling crowded.

Outdoor Living

The outdoor spaces are what make Heaven on the Waterfront unforgettable. The front porch looks toward the pond and wooded setting, while the back deck and outdoor areas connect you to Fightingtown Creek.

Relax in the hot tub, cook dinner on the covered BBQ deck, gather around the creekside fire pit, enjoy the sound of rushing water, or fish from the pond. The fenced backyard area is especially helpful for guests traveling with dogs, and the combination of pond, creek, porch, deck, hot tub, and fire pit gives every guest a favorite place to settle in.

Choose Heaven on the Waterfront when you want a true group cabin, but still want the kind of water setting usually found at smaller, more private retreats.

    Exceptional property and management! Our family, including 2 pups, totally enjoyed a short spring break visit here. It seemed very peaceful, had everything we needed and lots of extras - comfortable beds and seating, nice water pressure for showers, kitchen well equipped, nice grill, wonderful hot tub, pond and stream with firepit were great, fenced area for the dogs, fun ping pong table. All exceeded our expectations. We only left for a few excursions - Mercier Orchards for one and some of our group went for atv riding (Blue Ridge Offroad Adventures) which they enjoyed despite cold wet weather that day. We would definitely like to return, maybe in the summer!

    We’ve been coming to Blue Ridge every year and this was our favorite place yet. The property was amazing, big, peaceful, and beautiful, with both a pond and a creek that made it feel private and special. My daughter even caught a fish. The house was spacious, very comfortable, and stocked with everything we could need. The master shower was huge, the hot tub and the fire pit by the creek made for great family time, and we loved how close it was to town and to the Benton MacKaye Trail for hiking.Dave was an incredible host. He responded right away to every question, had everything ready down to small details like fire starters and dog treats, and even helped us quickly get something we left behind. You can tell he really cares about making sure guests have an amazing stay.We had such a memorable weekend as a family, from sitting by the fire to zip lining through the fall colors. Everyone was already asking if we can stay here again next year.

    This was a great cabin with lots of amenities to keep you entertained. It had a nice little pond right off the front porch that we saw bass, bluegills and some frogs which was great to sit by and have morning coffee. Short ealk to the creek with cars and a firepit we used in the evenings. There was a ping pong table and ladder toss game in the garage with some excercise machines. There was a fenced in area in the back for our 2 dogs that enjoyed it. It was a short drive to downtown Blue Rudge and Mercier Orchards. It was clean and you felt tucked away in the woods. We saw deer every morning and evening. Great communication from the owner, Dave. He was quick to respond to any questions. We would definitely stay here again.

    This cabin was nice and secluded. It had a small manmade pond and a creek that was past that with a small fire pit area. It was a really nice getaway not too far from BlueRidge. You do have to drive down some tight windy roads and spend a little time on a gravel road, but that’s north Georgia for you.

    Dave (the host) was absolutely amazing. Very accomodating and super communicative. The place is unreal. A pond out the front door with fish and turtles, the river/ creek just in the other side with an awesome fire pit chairs and picnic table. Many many perks: huge walk in shower, jaccuzi tub: sandly didn't have time for , amazing hot tub on back deck, fabulous out door kitchen, nice propane grill, coffee bar, and get this ladies everything you need to cook a nice meal, air fryer, wisk, potatoe peeler, mixer, food processor, crock pot, just to name a few things i don't normally see in a rental. This place was well stocked. I loved the stove and the sink, dishwasher was a plus. A beautiful huge dining table, excellent wifi for those few work moments i had to attend to. Seperate living room up stairs. Studio appartment above the garage, had its own bath, fridge sink area. Garage had ping pong, exercise bike, ski thingy, plus another fridge. The beds were comfy. So close to Walmart, ingles, apple picking, train ride and more. This was such an amazing birthday. I really wish i could have stayed longer. It was really wonderful.

    This place was awsome!! Perfect for a family of 6. The pond lived up to the hype! All 6 of us caught a fish in it, most being decent sized bluegill. My son even caught 2 bass! ( P.S. we used live worms.) The only thing we disliked was the beds; they were noisey and uncomfortable. But overall awsome experience.

    Great place to get away for a ling anniversary weekend. There are two visible neighbors, but it does not take away from the peaceful and relaxing feel of Heaven on the Waterfront. The pond and the creek both offer relaxing water sounds. Perfect mornings with coffee on the large front porch or the dock. Quiet mornings or afternoons of fishing.My husband and I and our two dogs loved this spot. Also plenty of room for a larger family, and we may plan a trip back with extrnded family.Close enough to Blueridge and Ellijay, or perfect to stay and retreat from it all for a few days.Property owner was easy to communicate with and even reached out to alert us to pending bad weather with tips to make sure we were comfortable in case power went out.Overall a great experience and we would definitely go back and recommend to anyone we know headed to the Blueridge/Ellijay area.

We love to cook and the kitchen has everything we needed plus an amazing 6 burner stove. We really appreciated that there was plenty of fire wood for us to use in the fire pit by the creek. The outdoor area is so relaxing and beautiful. We enjoyed sitting on the porch looking at the pond while we had coffee. The owner does everything to make this a very special stay from leaving us coffee to welcome treats when we arrived. Look forward to returning!

    This is a hidden gem in the mountains not far fromElijay & Blue Ridge! Beautiful and secluded! Plenty of room to roam! At night the lights on the wrap around porch and pond are lit up and you can see them from the fire pit down by the stream while roasting marshmallows for s’mores! Kids enjoyed playing inside too! Huge upstairs closet and little tv room tucked away that was cool for them! Bedroom above the garage has its own fridge and sink if you have someone that wants a little privacy. Highly recommended!
