Mineral Bluff, Georgia
Bord D'eau, which is French for "Beside the Water" and is pronounced Bordeaux like the wine, is a charming, upscale, beautifully situated cabin located just 50 feet from the edge of the pristine Toccoa River. One of the many unique feature of this cabin is that not only it is located on one of the river bends allowing for viewing down the river from the East and West side it is easily accessible by foot for fly fishing or paddling down the river. This custom built cypress wood sided cabin seats on 1.1 acres of a well maintained, shaded tree lot that is very park like. There's plenty of room for family outdoor activities in the grassy lawn areas. This unique property gives you a feeling of privacy and comfort but not seclusion as it's only 10 minutes to the city of Blue Ridge which has a great supermarket, Ingles along with many unique shops and restaurants. The Bord d'eau River House has a spacious floor plan with an open downstairs kitchen and dining area which connect to the living area with its floor to roof expansive open space. The custom built gourmet style kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and has a gas burning stovetop with a vented hood. There are two bedrooms downstairs which share a bath. The Master Bedroom suite located upstairs with its own bathroom and outside private porch area which offer wonderful river views. You'll enjoy lounging and eating on the large 300 sf screened porch that looks out over the river. There's also room for additional seating on the open deck on the entry side of the cabin. Outside, guests will find themselves on the expansive dock that hangs over the river's edge while enjoying the cool early evening air with an aperitif of their favorite beverage and snacks. Also, many memories will take place reminiscing around the fire pit late into the evening hours.
During the growing season, you will find blueberries and flowers growing in the garden areas. The water supply for the cabin comes from a deep water artesian well located in the "outhouse" building in the front yard.
Bord d'eau is located in a small subdivision of upscale homes mostly comprised of vacation or second homes. The entry road to the cabin is private so there is never much outside traffic coming into the area. With access to the property being on paved roads all the way to the cabin's road, there should be no worries about driving on challenging mountain roads. Located just five miles north of Blue Ridge, GA, at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Bord d'eau River House is where you will experience the beautiful serenity of nature yet all the wonderful amenities of home. This property has 150 feet of River frontage, located on the Toccoa river the #1 trout river in Georgia. This home is a beautiful 4 bedrooms and 3 baths when you include the guest suite. You will find all the comforts of home so just pack your bags and come enjoy this wonderful vacation home away from home.
The Toccoa River itself is a federally protected waterway which flows north into Tennessee where it becomes the Ocoee River. Only a 30 minute drive north will take you to the River launch site on the Ocoee River for some exhilarating White Water Rafting. The Toccoa River has a healthy population of both Rainbow Trout and German Brown Trout which can be caught although we recommend a catch and release policy in order to maintain a health level of fish in the River ecosystem. There is easy access to the river with the depth being no more than wading level depths at most times.

Our family has stayed here several times. The location is beautiful and peaceful. We can relax and fishing is good. The accommodation has all the comforts of home.
Property was wonderful for our children to run and explore. The house was comfortable, clean and stocked for cooking.
We really enjoyed our stay. It had everything we needed. We spent most of the time outside, just enjoying all the swings, the beautiful land and the river. But the inside and screened in porch was great for our of our family meals and game nights. Could not have asked for a better get away!
The property was just as described and was absolutely beautiful. The house is well maintained and a short drive to town for restaurants and groceries. The kitchen was well stocked and spending the evenings relaxing on the screened deck was perfect. Would definably recommend this place.
Beautiful river front property. Loved fishing right from the dock and enjoying the view!!
This was the perfect river house for our family. The location being just a few minutes from Blue Ridge, grocery, drug store etc. The family fished off the river deck just a few feet from the house. The views and sounds of the river from the back screened in deck are amazing. The kitchen was fully stocked with every thing you need. The beds were comfortable and house was extremely well maintained. There was a grill and smoker for cooking. The outside fireplace was thoroughly enjoyed. The property was very large and flat. Perfect for children playing outside and great for grandparents that do not want to walk up and down hilly terrain. The communication with the manager was excellent! Definitely a great place to consider for any vacation!
Learned how to fly fish right out of the backyard! Spent most of the time in the screened lanai listening to the river. Relaxing time with great restaurants close by in Blue Ridge.
The property is beautiful, as described. We enjoyed our stay and will return.
The clean, comfortable cabin had everything my husband, teenage sons and I needed to enjoy a long weekend. We loved hanging out by the river, fishing, and grilling. We threw the football in the big, flat yard and enjoyed the hot tub and going into Blue Ridge to the many restaurants and shops.
Had a great time at the home they even had a christmas tree up so it felt just like being home for the holidays!
Our family has stayed there several times! We love the house and the surrounding area!
Very good, except cleaningness of cabin.
The cabin was very comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the flat lot and the cabin being so close to the river. The river dock, hot tub, and outside seating were very nice! The kitchen was well equipped. Ashley was very quick to respond when we locked ourselves out and the air conditioning was not working. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this cabin!
What we loved: Smart home truly on the water, sufficiently close to hear the rapids that abut the property; Secluded except for a huge house across the river with four covered parking spots and many more uncovered which means large parties could form too close for comfort (luckily for us, the house was vacant during our stay); Clean, well-equipped and well-planned home with master bedroom upstairs and nicely separated and quiet; Great screened-in porch across the back of the house with views of the river; deer in the morning; 20-minute jaunt to the city of Blue Ridge; Accommodating pet policy; Carriage house available for rent for parties more than six adults. What we disliked: The onerous, one-sided and non-negotiable rental contract that requires a leap of faith by the renter. That said, the post-rental refund was timely. Summary: We hope to return.
Gorgeous home on the Toccoa, very well kept. Beds were extremely comfortable. Kids enjoyed playing in the river everyday. Wonderful vacation and will return!
Beautiful home on the Toccoa River. This is our second visit and it just keeps getting better. Communication is excellent. Location is excellent. The home is so inviting and well stocked with everything you need. Thank you for allowing us the pleasure of staying in your home.
