About this property

The Blue Canoe | Cozy Lakefront Getaway in Blue Ridge | Rustic and Elegant

  • Welcome to The Blue Canoe! This upscale Lake Blue Ridge cottage is a lake or mountain connoisseur’s dream! Whether you want to soak up the lakefront view from every room, sunbathe on the second level of the dock or enjoy a glass of wine by the fire-pit, this unique property has something for the whole family.

    Surrounded by United States Forestry Service, our cottage is perfectly situated off Aska Road, near hiking and biking trails and within a short drive to the shopping and restaurants of downtown Blue Ridge.

    Regardless of the adventure you’re seeking, you’ll have a great appreciation for The Blue Canoe – located only feet from Lake Blue Ridge with 331 feet of shoreline, properties like this can no longer be replicated.

    The property was tastefully updated mid-2022 to include a professional interior designer’s touch (rivals Highland’s and Cashier’s luxury), new appliances, three TVs and a fabulous blend of updated, yet comfortable furnishings. If you need to work lakeside, a tasteful office space is situated on the bottom level with wireless/ethernet connections and quality internet.

    As an added feature, we also have a pontoon available for rent, giving you the opportunity to explore the lake...and the best part, the boat will be at the dock upon your arrival! Already have a boat? Feel free to bring your own as well!

Perfect Spring Break getaway

Loved this lake cabin. Owners did a great job with the upscale cozy cabin decor. Cabin had everything we needed for a short stay. Kids loved fishing & the kayaks. I loved relaxing on the upper dock reading and watching Bald Eagles.

The Blue Canoe is a little piece of heaven in the woods and on the lake. While the road getting there is a little intimidating, it offers beautiful views and is totally worth it when you get there! It is cozy, warm, inviting, peaceful and offers a plethora of activities. The owner is most responsive and a pleasure to deal with as is the check in process. We are grateful to have spent 3 days there and wish it could have been longer!

Quiet Oasis

The Blue Canoe is the perfect retreat. My husband and I and three teenage boys soaked in the quiet, beautiful scenery all while staying active on the kayaks, fishing from the dock and building fires in the fire pit. The owners were super responsive, accommodating and friendly.

Beautiful home on the lake

Absolutely fantastic cabin on Blue Ridge Lake. Great views from everywhere in the cabin. The house is well stocked with everything you need. We had a blast in the house and the dock which has 2 kayaks for your use. Great check in process, fantastic host, easy check in process and, inportantly, a reasonable check out list.Cant recommend this place enough.

Blue Canoe-Very Nice

I would say the owners of the cabin treat you like a guest in their home. The items provided from towels to pots n pans are first class. It was a perfect of a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and relax. Hoping we will be able to come stay there again.

My wife and I stayed here with our two kids (ages 5 and 10), and we absolutely loved it. The cabin is quaint, remote, and perfectly peaceful — a great place to unplug as a family. The pontoon boat was perfect for evening rides on the calm lake, and the kids had a blast exploring the shoreline and fishing off the dock. Inside, everything felt warm and cozy, with comfortable beds and a well-stocked kitchen. We ended each night around the fire pit under the stars, which was a highlight for everyone. The winding one-lane road getting in is quite an experience, but it adds to the charm and seclusion. A wonderful place to relax, recharge, and make family memories. We will be back!

Great getaway on a beautiful property

We stayed here as a family of five with three kids under seven and had a blast. The house has plenty of living space and separate quarters for parents and adults. They did not cheap out on bedding either, both queen beds were incredibly comfortable. The house location on the lake is perfect, not too much boat traffic and deep water right off the dock for endless entertainment for the kids. Owners were a 10/10 with responsiveness and communication, we plan to come back next summer!

Blue Canoe with Friends

Our trip was with another couple just to visit. The location was off the beaten path, but worth the effort! Right on the lake with a very nice boat dock to swim from. Everything about Blue Canoe was as advertised. Plenty of dishes, cookware and appliances and towels for swimming. We heartily recommend this VRBO and would go back. But there are a LOT of stairs.

Peaceful and perfect!

Great location for us! We caught fish each day (bass, catfish and some sunnies) all while enjoying the peace and quiet of the area. The cabin was nice, had all amenities as listed and worked great for our needs. The long windy road was an experience but we got the hang of it, an suv or awd type vehicle is a good idea. We really appreciated the local hiking spots and waterfalls where could enjoy the beautiful outdoors with our dogs! The owner provided all the needed details and we had no issues so didnt need to bother them. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the near future! Highly recommend!

Wonderful experience!

We had four toddlers and four adults at The Blue Canoe this weekend and had a wonderful time. The host was *INCREDIBLE* in terms of response time and communication. The home is lovely and tastefully decorated. The location is on a quiet part of the lake but it was still close to the main part of the lake. We highly recommend renting the boat because that was our favorite part of the weekend. Make sure to get out to the middle of the lake for the best views of the sunsets! Two things to note: We lost power both nights, so bring flashlights. Luckily the power was returned quickly. Also, the house has a very steep staircase going to the bottom level, so it isn't the safest for toddlers. Still, we loved the experience and would love to go back!

Great Stay!

Such a cute cabin and perfect for our girls trip. The cabin was adorable and the owners were great at communicating and very accommodating. The road to the cabin was a little intimidating (which I think is typical for cabin rentals) but completely worth it once we arrived and we have a wonderful time!
