The Toccoa River - Aska Adventure Area - Hike, Fish, Campfires & Relax
Tucked along the banks of the Toccoa River in the heart of the Aska Adventure Area, this exceptional three-level mountain retreat offers one of the most coveted waterfront settings in Blue Ridge. Nestled within the breathtaking Chattahoochee National Forest on the “Upper” Toccoa River, the property boasts over 120 feet of pristine river frontage and an unmatched connection to nature.
Thoughtfully remodeled while preserving the charm and character of the original cabin, the home seamlessly blends rustic mountain elegance with modern comfort. Over 2,000 square feet of expansive porches wrap around the home, creating countless spaces to unwind—whether reading a book, listening to the soothing sounds of the river, watching wildlife, or simply enjoying an afternoon nap in the mountain air.
Designed for gathering and entertaining, the chef’s kitchen opens to a warm and inviting family room where memories are waiting to be made. Just off the screened porch, a Green Egg and grill provide the perfect setting for preparing your favorite mountain meals while overlooking the river.
The spacious floor plan comfortably accommodates family and guests with two king suites featuring private ensuite baths, one queen suite with ensuite bath, a bunk room with twin-over-full bunks, and an additional bunk room with twin-over-twin bunks. Nearly every bedroom opens directly onto the expansive porches, offering peaceful river views and easy access to the outdoors.
Perfect for families, couples’ retreats, girls’ weekends, or adventure seekers, the home also features a dedicated “Kids Cave” for movies and games, along with a large media and game room on the terrace level. Expansive windows frame stunning river views, while the outdoor patio and firepit invite evenings under the stars. Follow the gentle path to the river’s edge where large mountain rocks create the ideal place to relax beside the flowing water.
This is more than a cabin—it’s a true mountain river experience in one of North Georgia’s most sought-after destinations.

Wow, such a beautiful place in a quiet and peaceful spot on the Toccoa River. Wonderful place to relax. Very well maintained, and owner was very communicative and helpful. Highly recommend.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the River’s Edge! Beautiful and spacious home right on the Toccoa River with every amenity you could ask for. It was the perfect place for our family vacation!
This was by far the nicest cabin we’ve ever stayed in! Every detail was thoughtfully designed and impeccably maintained. The home is incredibly high-end, yet still feels cozy and inviting. The kitchen was the most well-stocked we’ve seen—every tool, dish, and spice you could possibly need was there. Everything from the furniture to the linens to the décor showed that this property is meticulously cared for.We loved spending mornings by the river and evenings relaxing by the fire. It’s clear the owners have put a lot of love and attention into making this a true luxury mountain getaway. We can’t wait to come back!
Beautiful, well appointed cabin - everything was as advertised. Loved the expansive views of the Toccoa River from the porch (I could have sat there the entire weekend). This will be one of our "go-to" places to rent going forward.
We had a wonderful stay at River’s Edge for the Memorial weekend. The house is beautiful and so well appointed! We had everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. All in our group commented on how especially comfortable the beds were. You are steps from the Toccoa River for all the fishermen in your group and there’s nothing better than the sound of the river from the porches. We hope to be back soon!
This rental has everything you could imagine and more. We were there for a casual Labor Day weekend with friends and kiddos. The house had plenty of space for 5 adults and 3 kids. Biking/hiking trails are at the base of the road to the property, and river relaxing right in front. The beds were super comfy, and the kitchen had everything we needed to make meals the entire trip. We will definitely be staying here again next trip!
Very nice cabin on the river. Tons of amenities. Comfortable and clean beds. Lots of extra towels. Numerous bathrooms and showers. Everything in the house has been upgraded. Tons and tons of amenities and extras. Highly recommend.
We have spent a weekend on this river for 20 years as childhood friends! I can say this has been the best yet! Host was very quick on communication and this cabin had all that you could ever need! We will always look to book this property first in the future! Thank you for being apart of a lifetime of stories!
We had a super time. The home is lovely and spacious and was perfect for what we needed. The location is quiet and nice, right on the Toccoa river. We went upstream on main road (ASKA) and tube floated back to house about 2 miles almost every day. There were no other floaters on that stretch so was like we owned the river. Also did many activities in Blue Ridge area, Helen and Cleveland Georgia.
What a beautiful setting! The view , porches overlooking the river were amazing. My family of 7 loved the easy access to the river, perfect climate, large living space and kitchen. We dropped family off at big rock on the Toccoa and they floated to this place in 1&1/2 hr, got out of the river and came inside for dinner.
Loved every second of our time in Blue Ridge. Fantastic location. Beautiful home on the water. Far exceeded our expectations. Pictures do not do this home justice!!
This house is magnificent! Very large and great to spread out with family and friends. It is right on the Taccoa River so you can walk out the front and throw in a tube. The location is only 15 min from downtown Blue Ridge, about 1.5 hours from Helen, and 30 min to Ellijay. Rafting down the Ocoee is only 50 minutes and tubing is minutes away. The house itself if very nice, clean, and the owner is extremely responsive, definitely will be staying again!
Our trips are almost always a big group and this trip we had 17 people. My wife and our 3 kids (6,12,14), my wife’s sister and husband and their 3 kids (10,15,16), my in-laws and my best friend and his wife and 3 kids (16,17,20). We are a very close family and do a lot together but this trip felt so different from any trip we’ve had together before. It was so relaxing and never felt like we were being rushed. Everyone enjoyed the river being right beside the cabin. Kids were either fishing, swimming or we were hauling everyone up stream 4-5 miles to float back down to the cabin. The adults enjoyed lounging on the huge screened in porch while listening to the constant sound of the river flowing. It was so peaceful. Everyone at some point took a nap on that porch. We cooked almost every meal on the grills overlooking the river and played games and every night the kids made s’mores in the nice fire pit.The well furnished kitchen was great as well. Every morning we cooked an huge spread for breakfast and had plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy. The oversized laundry room was nice for the piles of laundry we had too. Not one person complained about any of the mattresses. I know our bed slept great. The hostess was so friendly and helpful if we had any questions or problems. We are already planning for our next adventure here. Can’t wait to come back to this cabin.
From the moment our group arrived at this unbelievably wonderful place I knew it was going to be just what we were looking for. The setting is amazing and the home is impeccable. I can’t say enough about the owner, Greta, and how attentive she was to our questions and to how beautifully appointed her home is. Thank you so much for providing my friends and I the space and opportunity to vacation in style. We will be back.
