Our cabins are available
for rental year-round. Each season has its own unique beauty: dogwoods, mountain
laurel, and rhododendron in the spring; the deep blues of the lake, river,
or creek and dark greens of the trees in the summer; a vast sea of hardwoods
that are on fire with color in the fall; and, if you're lucky, a white blanket
of snow in the winter. Click on the Availability Calendars symbol on the left

down the river (River Ridge)
from any room in the cabin or follow a Great Blue Heron as it skims along the
creek (Whitewater Overlook). At night, pop in a DVD or videotape and enjoy a
movie on the home theater, with 32" TV and six-speaker surround sound. If you
can tear yourself away from all that relaxing, there are plenty of things to
do in the area, including all kinds of lake and river water sports, hiking,
mountain biking, antique and crafts shopping, railway excursions, scenic drives,
and golf. The National Forest Recreation Area at Morganton Point is less than
ten minutes from Lakeview Lodge and offers swimming, a white sand beach, picnic
areas, a bath house, and a boat ramp. Hike around Lake Blue Ridge through the
Chattahoochee National Forest, which borders only steps from the cabin. River
Ridge and Whitewater Overlook are only 15-20 minutes from several Ocoee River
outfitters, where you can book an adrenaline-pumping whitewater rafting adventure
on the same course used for the 1996 Olympic whitewater competition. There is
abundant wildlife in the Blue Ridge area, including black bear, whitetail deer,
and wild turkey. Our cabins offer privacy, peace and quiet, and cool mountain
breezes, but are less than 15 minutes from the shops and restaurants in Blue
Ridge.
We hope you will make one of our cabins your second home in the mountains and
will return again and again. Please bookmark our site and come back often. Thank
you for considering Mountain River Cabins.
