Description Description
Life can certainly be crazy. So it’s no wonder many people seek refuge in the peace and quiet of the mountains. For one couple, the allure of a secluded mountain home was too great to resist. Nestled in the hills outside of Blue Ridge, Georgia, their home is a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of daily life and is ready for you. Welcome to the Otter Side, a peaceful and genuinely serene retreat.

The home, crafted with great care and attention to detail by a local builder, reflects the owner’s passion and dedication. They genuinely admire the unique custom mantels and paneling made from timber sourced from the property, as well as the distinct bar top that adds character to the cozy interior.

Staying in this tranquil setting is a true pleasure, with abundant wildlife adding to the experience. The cabin's namesake, a playful river otter, is a regular visitor to the nearby stream, offering hours of entertainment for everyone as you observe it fishing. In addition, the soothing sound of the babbling brook that runs by the property is a constant source of relaxation, whether taking advantage of one of the outdoor screened living areas or allowing it to lull guests to sleep at night.

Enjoy ample natural light, comfortable furnishings, and wonderful details throughout, including wood ceilings and beams, luxurious kitchen finishes, and even a glass walkway to one of the upstairs bedrooms! Even the bathrooms are luxurious. Every shower is unique and constructed differently. The basement shower is a steam shower, so it is similar to a mini sauna, and the master bathroom is finished with heated floors. From the game room, complete with a PacMan arcade, to the outdoor areas with their gas grill, hot tub, and fire pit, there is a place every single family member will be able to enjoy!

Despite being secluded, the home is conveniently located! Enjoy being just a 15-minute drive from downtown Blue Ridge. You will love all of the fun surrounding you, as well as the friendly locals and the welcoming ambiance of the town. There’s something for everyone in Blue Ridge.

For those seeking peace and serenity in nature, The Otter Side is a dream come true. The calming sound of the babbling brook, the playful wildlife, and the tranquil seclusion of the surroundings make this home the perfect refuge and the perfect place to escape.

Incredible Amenities!
We had a great time, this house is amazing! It was raining one of the days we were staying and the kids had a blast playing outside in the rain then getting in the hot tub to warm up. The parents enjoyed the screened in porch and wood burning fireplace. The house amenities are incredible, including all the fire places and the basement gaming room was great for kids and adults. The heated floors in the primary bath were an unexpected surprise! The host was very prompt at replying to any of my questions. We can’t wait to stay here again.

Absolutely gorgeous cabin! The owners have thought of everything- the layout allowed us to have personal space for everyone along with endless fun in the game room with pool, darts, poker and even video games! Such a plus that our dog could join us! Beautiful outdoor screened in areas and patios off the bedrooms! No need to look for another cabin -We will be back next year!

How well appointed it was in terms of dishes, cookware, utensils, etc.; plethora of trash bags and dishwasher tabs were included; very well kept property and clean. REALLY appreciated the chopped up wood that was ready for use and the toiletries provided were nice and better than the typical/average provided in a rental

This home was beautiful. There were so many separate living spaces to enjoy. We were a group of 8 and we still were able to have our own private time if needed.

The large floor plan with bedrooms on each floor made your own private spaces. The screened in porch areas with comfortable furniture. The hot tub was clean and relaxing. The game room provided hours of entertainment. The fire pit was perfect for roasting marshmallows. The river behind the house was fun to fish in and tube down. The kitchen was beautiful and stocked with plenty of cookware.

Super Fun River House!
What a gorgeous house! Lots of entertainment within and around the property! We fished, caught and released trout, walked and tubed the river on the property. We spent a lot of time playing in the large game room. We played darts, pool, arcade games, and the myriad of games we brought! The hot tub was perfect for relaxing! The bedrooms and living spaces were beautiful. The house was close to downtown Blue Ridge that we ventured out daily.

The house was clean and beautiful. We had 9 of us and we all had plenty of space to spread out. Dinners at the big table were very fun and fit all of us. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook up some great meals. Appliances were all really nice and worked great. The outdoor spaces were perfect. Thank you for such great memories. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful property. The sound of the creek is relaxing and has easy access. This is a luxury rental! Immaculately clean. House is decorated tastefully and modern. Our party of 6 plus a pet were very comfortable. Each bedroom had its own en-suite bathroom plus a half bath on main floor. All the tv's are huge, and have Direct Streaming as an option. Main level screened in porch TV was wonderful to watch the Braves. We enjoyed the fire pit and Weber gas grill. I will rent this property again. Absolutely fabulous!

This cabin was amazing and my entire family enjoyed it! We tried to take advantage of all of the amenities at least once. We loved the deck space and outside fire pit as well as the hot tub and game room. There were great spaces to be together as well as areas we could spread out when we didn't feel like socializing. The kitchen was amazing and well stocked! We will definitely be back!
