Reminiscent of storybook cottages, Just Peachy is a delightful retreat where vacation dreams come true. Nestled in the woods and surrounded by towering trees on the edge of Granny Lake, this charming, jewel-box cabin offers the perfect escape to relax, recharge, and immerse yourself in nature’s beauty.
Situated in Cherry Log, Just Peachy is only seven miles from the quaint shops, boutiques, and eateries of downtown Blue Ridge, renowned for its delectable key lime pie. Outdoor enthusiasts will find endless opportunities nearby, from hiking and biking trails to popular destinations like Bear Claw Vineyards and Mercier Orchards—where you can savor a hearty breakfast and take home fresh cider. Whether boating on Lake Blue Ridge, tubing or rafting along the Toccoa River, or fishing at Granny Lake (catch and release), the water’s magic is never far away. For a more laid-back experience, toast marshmallows by the fire pit, or fire up the park-style grill (charcoal not included) for a barbecue paired with a local craft beer.
This two-level, two-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage is designed with your comfort and enjoyment in mind. Inside, the warm and inviting atmosphere is enhanced by rustic wood accents, a wood-burning fireplace, plush seating, and a Smart TV with Roku, Dish Network, and a DVD player. The fully equipped kitchen features a gas stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, and both Keurig and drip coffeemakers, with seating for four at the dining table.
From the bubbling four-seat hot tub to the screened patio with serene lake views, this cabin is designed for ultimate relaxation. The patio includes a dining table, a Roku-enabled Smart TV, and plenty of seating, including rockers perfect for sipping a glass of wine. Unwind in the four-seat hot tub as you stargaze and listen to the tranquil sounds of the lake. With two levels of deck space, the lower level is thoughtfully screened to keep late-night bugs at bay.
The cabin’s two cozy bedrooms on the main level feature comfortable beds, hardwood floors, and tasteful touches like dressers, nightstands, lamps, and ceiling fans. They share a bathroom with a tub and shower for your convenience.
The gravel driveway provides ample parking, including a widened area for easy vehicle turnaround. Additional guest-friendly amenities include WiFi, board games, a DVD player, and a stacked washer/dryer on the main level.
Best of all, Just Peachy is dog-friendly, so your furry friends can join the adventure. Whether you’re enjoying peaceful mornings by the lake or action-packed days exploring Blue Ridge, this lakeside mountain escape promises a memorable and magical stay that’s truly Just Peachy!
