About the cabin

Pop’s Peak is a five-bedroom log home in Morganton, a short drive from downtown Blue Ridge. It sleeps up to 12, so it’s great for family trips and friend getaways.

  • Big views. Sweeping valley and mountain views from the screened porch and deck.
  • Trout on the property. A Georgia Gold Medal trout stream, plus a stocked catch-and-release pond.
  • Hot tubs and a fire pit. Two hot tubs, a fire pit, a gas grill and a Green Egg for those burgers with a view.
  • Game room fun. Ping pong and a cozy lower-level living room.
  • Room for everyone. Five bedrooms and a dining table that seats 12.
  • Heads up: it isn’t pet-friendly, so plan ahead for the pup.

Why Blue Ridge

  • Trout capital. Blue Ridge calls itself the Trout Capital of Georgia, and the Toccoa River is close by.
  • A cute downtown. Shops, restaurants and the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway.
  • Lake days. Lake Blue Ridge is close by for a day on the water.
  • Fishing tip. Georgia requires a fishing license, plus a trout license for trout waters.
