This is a beautiful house, all was as advertised on Vrbo. The kitchen was well appointed, including having enough supplies in the way of dish soap, paper towels, trash bags, etc., which isn't always the case. The area is remote, deep in the woods, yet close to the town of Blue Ridge. We were a family of grandparents down to a two year old, and we all enjoyed the house. We would definitely recommend it and would return.

Welcoming and Comfortable

Home away from home atmosphere. The 3 levels of accommodations gave us space to hang out together, then have our own little retreats.

Mini Birthday getaway

We stayed at this property to celebrate my birthday with my husband and close friends. I loved the cabin, and all the Christmas decorations. It was very welcoming and cozy! There was enough room for everyone to have their own space! My husband and I are already planning a trip back with our kids! I definitely recommend Shade Tree Lodge!

Fabulous Cabin

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cabin. We came to get away and relax for a few days. This cabin provided the exact environment needed. The Pardue’s were excellent hosts. We truly enjoyed meeting them and the privilege of getting to know them a little. Definitely would recommend Shade Tree Lodge to anyone wishing to enjoy the beauty of the Blue Ridge area.

Friends Getaway

The property was very clean and a short drive into town. We could not have asked for a better place to rent for a short friends getaway. Also, the mattresses are to die for. We actually took a picture of the one in the master bedroom and will be ordereing one for our home.

My family and rented the cabin due to being evacuated from Tampa during Hurricane Milton, I couldn’t ask for more caring Property owners, they make sure we were ok in hour drive up and when we went home.

Double thumbs up!!

This property was the icing on the cake! Celebrating my brother’s 57th birthday, we had the best time most of which was at the cabin. The best part was coffee in the mornings in the rocking chair on the back deck while taking in the beautiful view. The worst part was having to leave. Would stay here time and time again.

Great weekend cabin in Blue Ridge!

We had a group of friends getting together in Blue Ridge and stayed at Shade Tree Lodge. This was such a perfect cabin! Everything was spotless and clean on arrival. All the amenities were working and they had even put up a Christmas tree for the Holidays which was a really nice touch. It was close enough to town that we were able to pop back and forth as needed, but really enjoyed the peace and quiet out at the cabin. I hope we are able to come back and stay again.

GREAT FIND!

Private cabin in the woods with plenty of space for 4 couples to enjoy the beauty of Blue Ridge. Owners came by the first morning to introduce and make sure everything was up our expectations. Lots of fun activities in the area. We went white water rafting and conquered the aerial adventure park. Fun times and great memories to be made here.

Our stay at Shade Tree Lodge

The property was very clean, spacious, updated, and had everything we needed for a long Memorial Day weekend with family. We were close to downtown Blue Ridge, and everything nearby for adults and kids: hiking, miniature golf, Mercier Orchards, etc. Also, the view was so lovely and the large decks provided nice cool breezes and meals, relaxation and the hot tub! There was something for everyone: televisions in each bedroom, fuzzball, pool table, and stuffed animals for our little granddaughters, and roasted marshmellows each night at the firepit. We would return for sure!

Amazing stay!

What a cozy, beautiful cabin! Very clean and met all of our needs. My husband and I brought our moms to Blue Ridge for relaxation, apples, apples, apples and fun! This property is centrally located to Blue Ridge, Blairsville and Elijay. We spent time touring, as well as relaxing in this gorgeous cabin. The views are great and the fireplace at night provided just the right atmosphere for spending time together and unwinding. The hosts were wonderful people and easily accessible. Thank you for letting us enjoy your cabin! We can’t wait to come back again! Mark and Laurie Maynard, Leesburg, GA
