About this property

Pet-Friendly Waterfront² Lodge | Hot Tub, Fire Pit & Game Room

  • Heaven on the Waterfront offers a rare Waterfront² setting in Cashes Valley: over 250 feet of Fightingtown Creek frontage plus a beautiful private pond, all on 4 private acres. This luxury 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath cabin gives guests the best of both water worlds — the sound and energy of a major trout stream in the backyard, and the calm beauty of a pond out front.

    As you come down the long, easy-access drive, you’ll be greeted by the peaceful pond and the rush of Fightingtown Creek. This is one of the few 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath cabins available directly on Fightingtown Creek and a truly unique vacation rental setting in Cashes Valley, one of the most pristine sections of the greater Fightingtown Creek watershed.

    With a chef’s kitchen, game room, hot tub, fire pit, covered porches, fishing, fast Wi-Fi, and room for up to 9 guests, Heaven on the Waterfront is ideal for families, couples traveling together, multi-generation trips, and guests who want space, privacy, and a true mountain-water experience.

    The Space

    Inside, Heaven on the Waterfront is designed for gathering, relaxing, cooking, playing, and spreading out.

    The main living area offers a comfortable mountain-lodge feel with a gas-log fireplace, available October through April, and plenty of space for your group to settle in. The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped for real meals at the cabin, and the covered BBQ deck makes grilling easy in every season.

    The main-level primary king suite includes an ensuite full bath, offering privacy and convenience for guests who prefer fewer stairs. Upstairs, you’ll find additional sleeping spaces, including two queen/twin bedrooms and a queen suite above the garage/game room with its own coffee bar.

    An upstairs living area with a 4K TV and beautiful picture window gives guests another place to relax, watch a movie, or enjoy a quiet moment away from the main gathering space.

    Game Room & Indoor Fun

    The game room adds a fun, flexible space for families and groups. Enjoy ping pong, the family game cabinet, 4K TVs, and multiple areas for guests to hang out together or spread out.

    Whether it’s a rainy afternoon, a family tournament, or a quiet evening after dinner, the indoor spaces make Heaven on the Waterfront comfortable for longer stays and mixed-age groups.

    Outdoor Living

    The outdoor setting is what makes this property truly special.

    Out front, the pond creates a peaceful first impression and a relaxing place to fish or unwind. Behind the cabin, Fightingtown Creek brings the sound and movement of rushing water, with over 250 feet of creek frontage to enjoy.

    Gather on the wraparound covered porch, grill dinner outside, relax in the hot tub, enjoy the outdoor seating areas, or spend the evening around the fire pit just 15 feet from the creek. With 4 private acres, double waterfront, and generous outdoor spaces, this cabin feels like a private mountain oasis.

Incredible Stay!

Spent a full week here and had everything we needed for the entire week and always had something to do even on rainy days. Very private and secluded but easy to get into Blue Ridge. The host was very thoughtful and very responsive. Would recommend this place to anyone. Getting yourself some travel hammocks and enjoying them down by the creek is a must! Couldn’t be happier with our stay. Very dog friendly as well.

This was a great cabin with lots of amenities to keep you entertained. It had a nice little pond right off the front porch that we saw bass, bluegills and some frogs which was great to sit by and have morning coffee. Short ealk to the creek with cars and a firepit we used in the evenings. There was a ping pong table and ladder toss game in the garage with some excercise machines. There was a fenced in area in the back for our 2 dogs that enjoyed it. It was a short drive to downtown Blue Rudge and Mercier Orchards. It was clean and you felt tucked away in the woods. We saw deer every morning and evening. Great communication from the owner, Dave. He was quick to respond to any questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Family Mountain Trip

This is our 2nd time at this home. We absolutely love it! It has everything! It’s so comfortable and welcoming. We love to cook and the kitchen has everything we needed plus an amazing 6 burner stove. We really appreciated that there was plenty of fire wood for us to use in the fire pit by the creek. The outdoor area is so relaxing and beautiful. We enjoyed sitting on the porch looking at the pond while we had coffee. The owner does everything to make this a very special stay from leaving us coffee to welcome treats when we arrived. Look forward to returning!

Heavenly Family Getaway

This is a hidden gem in the mountains not far fromElijay & Blue Ridge! Beautiful and secluded! Plenty of room to roam! At night the lights on the wrap around porch and pond are lit up and you can see them from the fire pit down by the stream while roasting marshmallows for s’mores! Kids enjoyed playing inside too! Huge upstairs closet and little tv room tucked away that was cool for them! Bedroom above the garage has its own fridge and sink if you have someone that wants a little privacy. Highly recommended!

Perfect Place to Get Away

Great place to get away for a ling anniversary weekend. There are two visible neighbors, but it does not take away from the peaceful and relaxing feel of Heaven on the Waterfront. The pond and the creek both offer relaxing water sounds. Perfect mornings with coffee on the large front porch or the dock. Quiet mornings or afternoons of fishing.My husband and I and our two dogs loved this spot. Also plenty of room for a larger family, and we may plan a trip back with extrnded family.Close enough to Blueridge and Ellijay, or perfect to stay and retreat from it all for a few days.Property owner was easy to communicate with and even reached out to alert us to pending bad weather with tips to make sure we were comfortable in case power went out.Overall a great experience and we would definitely go back and recommend to anyone we know headed to the Blueridge/Ellijay area.

Loved this Restful Retreat

We all absolutely loved Heaven on the Waterfront! What a beautiful home with everything we could have possibly wanted in a rental - very roomy and comfortable. We especially loved the porch with all the rocking chairs overlooking the pond where we could listen to the creek, as well as the chairs down by the creek. We enjoyed fishing in both the creek and the pond and caught several fish (catch and release). We enjoyed it so much, we never went into Blue Ridge or Elijay. Everyone said it was the perfect getaway - we only wish we could have stayed longer! Can't wait to return. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Dave (the host) was absolutely amazing. Very accomodating and super communicative. The place is unreal. A pond out the front door with fish and turtles, the river/ creek just in the other side with an awesome fire pit chairs and picnic table. Many many perks: huge walk in shower, jaccuzi tub: sandly didn't have time for , amazing hot tub on back deck, fabulous out door kitchen, nice propane grill, coffee bar, and get this ladies everything you need to cook a nice meal, air fryer, wisk, potatoe peeler, mixer, food processor, crock pot, just to name a few things i don't normally see in a rental. This place was well stocked. I loved the stove and the sink, dishwasher was a plus. A beautiful huge dining table, excellent wifi for those few work moments i had to attend to. Seperate living room up stairs. Studio appartment above the garage, had its own bath, fridge sink area. Garage had ping pong, exercise bike, ski thingy, plus another fridge. The beds were comfy. So close to Walmart, ingles, apple picking, train ride and more. This was such an amazing birthday. I really wish i could have stayed longer. It was really wonderful.
