About this property

Relax at the Lake Side Retreat

Lake Side Retreat is a beautiful and well appointed cabin on Lake Buckhorn. Perfectly located between Ellijay and Blue Ridge.

This wonderful home has 3 levels. Main level contains Bedroom 1, guest bath, fully equipped kitchen, dining and living room with wood burning fire place. The upper level has the master suite/bath with private deck and the loft area with a trundle day bed. Head down below the main level via the exterior steps and you find the lower family room which contains a sofa with a coffee table and seating. This room contains a large smart tv and a mix of board games.

The home has brand new smart TV’s in each bedroom, living area and family room. This allows you to login to your favorite Apps and/or accounts for your viewing pleasure.

But why watch the TV when you can sit by the lake, read a book, go for a paddle, fish for bass and walk the neighborhood trails.
We offer a canoe and a stand up paddle board for your use.

Then head out to
explore the nearby towns for the festivals, wineries and orchards.
Return home to relax in the LakeSide Retreat and soak under the stars in the hot tub.

If adventure seeking is your thing... we have plenty of options. From tubing the nearby rivers, hiking the numerous trails, mountain biking, road cycling, motorcycling, fishing and hiking.

If you are looking for that perfect place to relax, enjoy and play.....you found it!

Spring Break Getaway from Florida
Exactly what we were looking for with 2 nature-loving kids on their spring break! Beautiful location on a lake, immaculate home and property, short drive to downtown Blue Ridge and plenty of outdoor activities and hiking nearby! We recommend Amicalola Falls for hiking and the Blue Ridge Train, especially if you have kids. The host was quick and helpful with his communication and extremely friendly and welcoming! Thank you again!

Well- stocked/ Great location
Great location for winter break! Coming from Atlanta we placed a grocery pickup at the Walmart Ellijay which was an easy 20 min ride on to the house. The house is well stocked with necessities (toilet paper, paper towels, dishwashing liquid, laundry supplies, cooking needs, etc). Some listings only provide “starter packs” of items but the owner is quite generous and truly thought of everything. The interior is the perfect set up for a family of four and is quite cozy. We enjoyed the lake for fishing and it was a nice area for dogs . As clearly listed this house isn’t for those with mobility issues. You have to take exterior steps to the hot tub, fire pit, and 3rd level room (no bathrooms). Overall we were really pleased with the property, location, ease of communication, and amenities. I would definitely recommend.
