Taking a trip to discover the Blue Ridge Mountains in Blue Ridge, Georgia is unlike any other experience or vacation. If you are ready for some family, quality time and needing a break from the everyday chaos of life, then staying in a cabin in the mountains might just be what you need. Expect to fall in love with Sunset Ridge, which is one of the best cabin accommodations in Blue Ridge. This cabin is located in the heart of the Aska Adventure Area and less than 10 minutes to downtown Blue Ridge!
Why Sunset Ridge is the Best Cabin Accommodations in Blue Ridge
Did you know that not all cabins are created equal? While most of them offer amenities and appeal, when staying in Blue Ridge you’ll want to consider these items for the best cabin accommodations possible! (and luckily, the amazing cabin that we booked in Blue Ridge included all of these amenities and so much more!)
Look for a cabin that offers amazing views
After all, why else would you want to stay in a cabin where you can’t see and enjoy every aspect of nature? Any type of outdoor porches or terraces is also a plus, so make certain that you book a cabin that offers great outdoor space for you and your family to relax.
Think “location, location, location”
While it may be nice and scenic, you also want a cabin that can be easily accessible to other places located in and around Blue Ridge! Find one that isn’t too far outside of town, but just far enough that you have that peace and quiet that you’re searching for.
Focus on a rustic interior with modern features
Just because you’re staying in the woods in the mountains, doesn’t mean you have to give up on comfort! Finding the best cabin accommodation that makes you warm and cozy but still gives you everything you need and want is doable!
Give everyone in your family their own sleeping accommodations
Finding a cabin that can accommodate your entire family is important! Luckily, our cabin had two master bedrooms, a loft and even a separate kids area in the basement with bunk beds. (Plus, every bedroom had its own private bath!) If you plan on relaxing in your peaceful cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains, make certain that you spoil yourself with enough space as well!
Find a cabin with a kitchen that is fully stocked
The last thing that you need to worry about it packing up kitchen utensils and appliances for your family vacation! A fully stocked kitchen should have dishes, utensils, pots & pans, and a coffee pot, at the very least. (and if you can also land one with a washer and dryer, you truly are good to go!)
Even though you are on vacation, you can still enjoy cooking your own meals together as a family as long as your cabin has everything that you need!
Check that there are multiple bathrooms for multiple people!
During vacation and relaxation time, make certain that everyone in your family has their own space! More than one bathroom is at the top of the list for cabin accommodations!
Appreciate the need for a fireplace when staying in the Blue Ridge Mountains
There’s just something about having a fireplace in your cabin that’s a must. The ambiance of the flames…everything about it screams relaxation and warmth!
Make certain there’s outdoor space to roam
If your family likes space to explore, take that into consideration when booking a cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Outdoor fire pits and acreage are all possible if you know where to look and book!
Enjoy endless hours of play with indoor entertainment
Most vacation homes have some sort of indoor entertainment options just waiting to be explored. With games like foosball, board games, and even a PlayStation, the cabin that we stayed in truly had it all!
Everything was located conveniently together in the basement where the kids could play into the wee hours of the night!
Research before if there’s access to internet and cable
Some people prefer to unplug and get away from the technology of the world, while others need it to function. Whatever your preference, make certain that the cabin can accommodate your needs!
Use VRBO to book the best cabin accommodations possible!
Booking our cabin accommodations at Blue Ridge was so easy and we were fortunate to book a cabin that has some of the best owners possible! Once we discovered the beautiful Sunset Ridge cabin on VRBO (Cabin 1144537) the process was extremely simple. For January thru February, the owners are running a rent 2 nights, get 1 free special. Contact them here for more details. The owners took great pride in communication and helped answer any questions that we had about their property.
What my family and I truly enjoyed about this experience is that the cabin description and online photos perfectly matched the current state of the cabin. Our expectations were exceeded 100% and we had an absolutely amazing time. It was especially beautiful during the Christmas season.
I for one can’t wait to return and sip more coffee and wine on one of the 6 outdoors decks that this cabin had to offer…
The cabin accommodations truly made it one of the most relaxing family getaways that we’ve ever had! We are already planning another escape to Blue Ridge for the spring months so that we can get a whole new view of the magnificent mountains!
