We fished, hiked and took in as much of the local flavors and folklore that we could. The Toccoa River setting is beautiful. The host met us at check in, insuring every need was met, offering advice and information, and a local tour that we thoroughly enjoyed.
We stayed the weekend and had a blast at the river beautiful views of the Toccoa River loved the fire pit and grilling out at the dock rick is awesome look forward to staying here again
Extremely happy with our stay, location is beyond perfect for fishing, floating and just relaxing.
Cabin is super stocked and Rick is the best host we have ever encountered. Definitely going back!!
Rick and his wife, Janet, were wonderful hosts. The cabin is on the most beautiful pieces of property I have ever seen and its proximity to so many activities makes it a top notch stay. We will absolutely be back!
We loved staying with Rick and Janet for a weekend in the woods. Their hospitality was so sweet and thoughtful. The cabin was cozy and felt like we were at our grandparents house. We had gorgeous weather and even though we didnât catch a single fish, so much fun was had by all. We will be back!
We enjoyed our visit fishing, hiking, and playing in the waterfalls. Our cabin was great, close to everything we wanted. The owners upstairs were kind and helpful.
We absolutely enjoyed the time we spent at the cabin. Rick and Janet were great hosts, from making us a pan of delicious brownies to a tour of the area with Rick. We have stayed in several vacation homes over the years but this one was the best furnished house of anyplace weâve stayed. Everything we needed was there. It was just like being at our own home. Loved the location and we are already planning on going back!
An absolutely wonderful trip with an amazing host. Our rental was beautiful, clean and well stocked with anything we could have possibly needed. Rick went above and beyond to make our stay perfect and his sweet wife made us brownies that we enjoyed the whole weekend. Highly recommend!!
Rick and his wife were absolutely the greatest host ever and went out of their way to make everything perfect! Cabin is situated on the upper toccoa river in blue ridge and makes for a perfect getaway for fishing or tubing or just relaxing . We will certainly be back!

Rickâs place was absolutely perfect for our family. It was clean, had everything we needed, and the river was just perfect. Mr Rick treated us like family; taught my daughter the best fishing holes, left us some bait, and made sure she and my son had a great time despite the rainy weather. We will be back.
We chose the Castaway Cabin for our annual family trip to the mountains & it was fantastic! We had my husband & I, our 12 & 9 year old kids, golden retriever pup & 1 grand parent. We had plenty of room, all accomodations needed & the hosts are very helpful with tips on the area, but also give you your space. The river is absolutely gorgeous with lots of outdoor activities: fire pit, horseshoes, kayaks & a privately owned river's edge, so lots of space to fish! We highly recommend this cabin!
We had a great experience with son and family at the lodge in Blue Ridge. Rick and his lovely wife even made us brownies which the grandchildren were absolutely delighted. Everything from how clean the lodge was to all the extras. Made our stay perfect we will be back.
We could not have been more pleased with our getaway to the Castaway Cabin. You are steps from the Toccoa and the view from the balcony is fantastic! The accommodations have everything you need in the kitchen, bedrooms, and bath. We spent 6 days there over Christmas and it was wonderful. Rick and Janet were great hosts, always available and super friendly. We now consider them friends and canât wait to book with them again!
The cabin has everything you need! Being close to the Tocooa river and Blue Ridge Lake allowed for multiple activities, excellent location. Lots of hiking around area and waterfalls. Will stay again! We were able to do sâmores, swimming, fishing, tubing multiple times, grilled food outdoors. MR. Rick had dry firewood for us with starter.
Rick and Janet were excellent host, welcomed us with brownies which kids loved! Rick showed us around and kids loved the ride in his ATV!
Awesome host. Thanks Mr. Rick and family. We had a great time. Everything was great. I will see you guys again real soon. Oh and Mrs. Janetâs brownies are absolutely delicious. Thanks again.
We stayed from Saturday-Monday, the weather was amazing though cold, and the fishing was wonderful. Rick met us at the property and helped us get settled, they brought us fresh brownies for a snack that were divine. Rick also took us exploring on Saturday showed us the good places to fish and some local history. The house was clean and warm, the beds comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to be able to make coffee and meals. We had the best time and can not wait to go back again!
We enjoyed our stay and plan on returning. Rick and Janet are wonderful hosts. It truly feels like you are at home away from home. My 6 year old and 10 month old both enjoyed playing in the river. My husband fished and my mom and I played with the kids. The area is beautiful with plenty of things to do!

Itâs one of a kind water front with water falls on the Toccoa River! A great place to get away and relax! Trout fishing right in front of our cabin. Hiking trails by cabin. Only 15 minutes from downtown Blueridge.
Itâs the best location on the Toccoa River. Itâs very wide here and we have beautiful waterfalls that our guests enjoy playing in. Tubing fishing Diving the water is so clean and clear here! This river flows into lake Blueridge, coming out of the mountains from underneath springs. If you love the water and mountains this is the place for you !!
