Toccoa Fish Trap

The cabin was very spacious, clean and comfortable. We felt very welcomed as we entered the cabin that was freshly cleaned, cooled, music playing, lights on sweet gift basket on counter. Great place to stay!

Lovely cabin situated on the Toccoa River in Mineral Bluff, Ga. just 20 mins to downtown Blue Ridge for shopping, dining and entertainment. Great location! Plenty of room for a family getaway. The property is pet-friendly which is awesome! We will be back for sure!

the sound of the river is so lovely

Manager's Response

We couldn't have a better time anywhere! We chose the cabin on the river over Amelia Island and not because of the potential storm and so glad we decided on the "Fish Trap". The cabin and grounds were clean, the fishing off the deck was relaxing and the raft trip down the river was great with our pup (he loved the river). I got to spend a little time with Richard (next door) and hope to see him next time we come. I'll bring my guitar and maybe play a little bluegrass with Richard. We will try to be back when our grandson has a break from Auburn. He's going to be my kayak instructor.

Nice place to stay sons had great time fishing.

The home is beautiful and very clean. We will definitely be back.

We've stayed at this cabin several times. It's just the right location. Good fishing. Secure for our dog. Comfortable.

Manager's Response

We had a wonderful time. Enjoyed the porch in the morning with our coffee and the deck by the river in the afternoon. We saw two families of ducks that would come and feed by the dock & watched an otter fish the river. It was fun talking to the rafters going down the river. The house was so livable and convenient to blue ridge and McKaysville for shopping. Great time, we really enjoyed our stay.

Manager's Response

Very enjoyable, love the location, this was our 3rd visit to Fish Trap, highly recommend. This has been our 6th visit at properties managed by 'Enchanted Mountain Retreats, Inc' they have always meet our needs each visit.

We booked the Toccoa Fish Trap house to take our 14 year old son and his best friend on vacation during spring break. We loved the location and the home was perfect for what we were looking for. The river was high and fast most of our trip so the fishing wasn't ideal but the home was great for all of our daily outings to the state parks and Helen. The management response to questions was fast and they were very helpful and friendly. We even met the owners father who was so sweet.

Manager's Response

We stayed for several nights over Christmas, the house was bigger than we expected, and very comfortable. A beautiful view of the river made for very peaceful atmosphere. It was great being able to bring our "boys" with us this year!

Manager's Response

We rented the Toccoa Fish Trap to attend a wedding in the area. It was very comfortable and convenient, with a beautiful setting and charming decorations.

Manager's Response

We had a wonderful long weekend on the river. The home is gorgeous, clean and equipped with everything needed to have a relaxing vacation. The fall colors were still gorgeous. Thank you for an amazing visit!

Manager's Response

My husband and I spent Thanksgiving here with our youngest son and his family. It was absolutely perfect! LOVED having the river right outside the back door! Very quiet..felt like we were the only folks around there! We fixed Yhanksgiving dinner there and had just about everything we needed! Very well equipped house! Talked about maybe renting it this summer it was so awesome! Very clean! Would have liked an under the counter light in kitchen and over sink. It’s a little dark. And maybe a lamp or two next to couch so you could read. But overall it was the best house we have ever rented!

Manager's Response

This is a wonderful house and the location is excellent. We've rented half a dozen houses or so in the area over the years and this by far is the best one. We'll for sure be coming back!

Manager's Response

We have rented this residence a few times and it has always been enjoyable.

Manager's Response

This rental property is the perfect vacation spot for us. Great fishing and dog friendly.

Manager's Response

Toccoa Fish Trap was a very nice house in a lovely location. It truly is right on the river, with a dock, a fire pit and a huge screened porch that overlooks the was hands down the cleanest rental I've ever seen, right down to the pots and pans.The house is comfortable and the bed we slept in was too. We only cooked one meal there and it needed a good frying pan, but it really wasn't a problem. On Saturday night we went to the Blue Ridge Brewery for a casual meal. It was a fun place to be with good beer and live music. Overall we loved the place and the location was perfect.

Manager's Response

Our annual summer trip on the Toccoa River just gets better and better each time. We love the cabin and all the amenities and being on the river is heaven. I'm the grown up kid who gets super excited every time the train goes by! The cabin has everything you could possibly need and the yard space is incredible. Love being able to simply walk into the river. The grownups, the kids and Oscar love it here. Only negative is the annoying outdoor bugs. They don't bite, but they are annoying. We all look forward to our next visit.

Manager's Response

We had a fabulous weekend with our family of four. The cabin is a wonderful time on the Toccoa. It fit our needs to a tee and we plan on returning soon. The peace and quiet of the river gave us rest and relaxation beyond expectation!

Manager's Response

This property is exactly as was described and pictured. When we arrived the door was bolt locked so we could not gain access and I called management to enter and they responded right away. We needed to reach management a second time for the hot tub and they were easy to reach and gave us the directions to be able to use it. They were very friendly and can be reached at any time. The cabin was spacious, comfortable, clean and well equipped with supplies for cooking. The setting is peaceful and quiet. We were able to fish right from the the lower deck of the home. This is a great place to have a family get away.

Manager's Response

The cabin was perfect and my husband had a terrific time fishing. You literally walk out the back door to the river and the view is spectacular. The cabin was spotless and had everything we needed. A surprise welcome basket was a nice touch as well!

Manager's Response

We had a wonderful time. Place was nice and clean.
Couldn't have asked for anything more perfect.beds
were great,good fishing,quiet, loved waving at the train. We were there when hurricane Irma was coming up from Florida. House is solidly built didn't hear the wind or the rain. Didn't even lose electricity in the woods. We went to Murphy one day to gamble a little. I won and I never win. That was a hoot. Of course you can go to Blue Ridge and spend it all in the shops. We went to Helen one day for lunch. If you have never been there it is well worth the trip. We also went to Ellijay the apple capitol of the world. Quaint little shops and every where we went people were very friendly as well in Blue Ridge. If you like marinas Blue Ridge has a nice marina that serves food and drinks. Outdoor sitting to watch the boats and the view. Again couldn't ask for a nicer place to hang your hat for 9 days.

Manager's Response

This is our 4th trip to Toccoa Fish Trap and it just keeps getting better and better each time. The cabin feels like home to us. All the comforts with the river out our back door. The train is a highlight for me and I am thrilled as it goes by every day. Having my kids and grandkids with me to enjoy our time, laughter, the river, cooking, singing, dancing, playing games, exploring, you name it, we did it.
The only negative is, the A/C is not big enough to cool the entire house. A window A/C in the big living room would make a big difference.
We will be back and I greatly appreciate how helpful AnaLuisa is always to make sure everything is so nice.

Manager's Response

This cabin was the perfect set up for our family of six adults, three babies and one fur-baby. Each couple enjoyed the privacy and convenience of their own bedroom and bathroom. Plenty of living spaces to hang out in and we all loved the screen porch overlooking the river. We would definitely stay there again. While there, we visited the swinging bridge over the Toccoa, took the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway, went swimming at Lake Blue Ridge, shopped in both Blue Ridge and McCaysville/Copperhill, ate some delicious meals at various local restaurants. One thing I would recommend is bringing along some extra trash bags and dishwasher soap when you come so you don't have to buy any while you are there. The property was clean, well-maintained and ready for our arrival.

Manager's Response

we enjoyed a 2 day rental.

.......unfortunately, it rained the first day all day and night....
Still, everything was great... except the TV. It was blocked on 205 - Fox News.
I reset the cable box 2x and tried to make Ch 205 work but no luck.
I can only conclude that Direct TV was instructed by Mgmt to block this channel and that bothered me given the cost $$ to stay here.
Other than that the cabin was great and we left it as clean as we got it.

Manager's Response

Very nice place, would have given a 5 star, however this was intended for us to fish. Everyday they opened the dam everyday for 5 to 7 hours a day and the water was to swift to fish. Either Early morning or around lunch until dark. The cabin is really nice and clean.

Manager's Response

Third time here because we love it. Whether the fall or summer, it's beautiful, comfortable, clean, and welcomes our little dog.

Manager's Response

This cabin has a beautiful view of the River. It also is in a great location, accessible to everything. The cabin was so large we never even used the lower level. This place would be good for two families sharing. The beds were so comfortable and there was plenty of hot water for showers. Interior was clean.

The kitchen was rather small and outdated. And the yard needed some regular upkeep and new furniture. There was wasp nests and spiderwebs everywhere. My kids got stung by wasps. My husband had to exterminate multiple nests just so that we could continue to go outside. The outdoor furniture was so filthy and rusted we couldn't even sit on them. And the wooden bench swing in photos wasn't even there. Porch furniture also could use replacing.

Be careful going in the river. Kids couldn't play in it most of the time because generators were always going and current was fast. Check **** times, there is a number to call. Smaller kids would do better staying on a creek versus the river.

Manager's Response

The Toccoa Fish Trap is a large beautiful pet friendly home right on the river, perfect for extended families, yet cozy enough for two. We practically lived on the covered porch watching the world float by and especially enjoyed the evening firefly sparkler spectacular late into the night.

The home is on a lovely stretch of water and my husband caught and released several nice trout just downstream. As for timing, it appeared that the water goes up and down here about an hour and a half after the start and stop of generation at the dam upstream.

Normally we stay at the Blue Ridge Lodge when coming up to fly fish the Toccoa, but well be staying at the Toccoa Fish Trap from now on if it is available. It is a rare gem indeed to find such a lovely spot that is so close to town and pet friendly.

Besides, there is something very special about a home with its own Little Lending Library.

Manager's Response

Enjoyed piece and quite, location convenient to points of interest.

Manager's Response

Quite pleasant for the great majority of our stay. The morning we were packing to leave we noticed a significant infestation of ants in the kitchen which was probably caused by the rain from the previous day.

Manager's Response

I really loved it here! It was so pretty and peaceful. The house was amazing and huge! The screen porch was perfect for enjoying the river in the morning with your coffee!:) Analuisa was so accommodating and friendly and makes me feel like I'm her personal guest! This is the second cabin and third rental from Georgia EMR. They are definitely my favorite cabin and company..will always keep them in mind for my north Georgia getaways!!?

Manager's Response

We had a great time and loved the rental property. The cabin had everything we needed and more. We will be back!

Manager's Response

There are not enough words to describe how perfect thus place is! This is our 3rd time staying at TFT and we'll be back again in Aug. My husband and I came to relax and relax we did! He fished most of the time, catching a few trout, and I enjoyed reading on the porch. We used the fireplace one night and sat by the fire outside on another. The geese greeted us daily, and we watched an otter playing in the evening. Every morning brought new scents for our dogs to discover. The cabin has everything you could need, and just bring your clothes and a fishing pole! Highly recommend!

Manager's Response

As always, Ana was first-class with everything! I've brought my children here four different times and they love it every time. As always, they didn't want to leave when it was time to go. Thanks Ana!!

Manager's Response

This was a wonderful place to stay! Close to Blue Ridge and right on the Toccoa River. Since this was our first vacation together I wanted everything to be perfect, and it exceeded our expectations! Our rescue dog, Rylie, had a wonderful time too. We will definately be planning a longer stay in the future.

Manager's Response

The cabin is perfect. Loved it from day one. Great location, peaceful and beautiful.

Manager's Response

I have rented five cabins in Blue Ridge and this cabin surpassed all the others. I will be going back to Toccoa Fish Trap next year.

Manager's Response

We had a wonderful weekend at this cabin. It had a nice decor and was fully equipped with everything we needed. We were familiar with the area and chose this cabin for the location. While staying there we enjoyed waving at the Blue Ridge Train as it rode by, picking apples at Mercier's Orchard, visiting McCaysville, and hiking. The only problem was we did not have enough time to do all that we wanted. We would highly recommend this cabin and location.

Manager's Response

Great place, had a great time. Beautiful house.

Manager's Response

We really enjoyed our stay and will be going back. The dogs loved the set up at this place and was great to have them with us. Between fishing and watching the train go by, who could ask for more. The back porch outside lights and no trash bags was the only thing, but it didn't take away from our trip. The rental agency was extremely helpful as we needed to come a day early to beat the hurricane Matthew weather. Arrived at 3am and they had the lights on to welcome us even. I would highly recommend this get away to escape everything. We all needed the getaway.

Manager's Response

Very peaceful. It would be nice to have access to kayaks

The house is very nice and the location is perfect. We had a good time and love the area.

The house is in need of a few updates which impacted the quality of our stay. The air conditioning system failed to operate on several days. When it was working, the family room with the tv, still stays warm, while the basement is very cold. The fridge was leaking from underneath as was the downstairs bathroom sink. This was our second time staying at this house, and while we love it we will probably move to a different one next year. There are also some lighting issues in each of the rooms.

The property management company was very easy to work with and very professional. I would highly recommend staying with Enchanted Mountain Retreats.

Manager's Response

This was our 3rd visit to TFT and once again, we loved every moment and made wonderful memories. I dad all of my family with me, kids and grandkiddos and of course, Oscar. Weather was perfect; we had just the right about of sun, warmth, rain, breeze and storms. The water was great every day because the dam wasn't released until later in the day, so we had plenty of time to play in the water and fish before the water started rising and flowing. Corey and Todd caught some fish while me, Jamie, Logan, Alyssa, Cruz, CJ and again, Oscar, took mini float trips down the river. I never get tired of looking at all the beauty the river provides. Truly, God's creation!
We enjoyed fabulous meals, lots of laughter, lots of games, oh my goodness . . we played lots of games; old ones, new ones and ones that we never heard of until CJ taught us. Jamie loved the little "Leave One, Take One" library out by the road. I get excited every time and I mean EVERY time the train goes by . . It's a little bit "Petticoat Junction" for me and I love it. We love the cabin and the river so much, so we rarely leave while we are there. Why leave when you have everything you need in the cabin, the river right outside, the beautiful big yard . . Picture Perfect. Corey had a fun game for the kids to find the glow worms in the dark which was great fun and yes, all the kids, including the big kid, Corey, swung out on the rope swing, into the river!!
We stayed for 10 days and wished we could have stayed 10 more. Can't wait to come back again.
Thank you for a great cabin and a great time!

Manager's Response

For 18 years,we have gone Trout fishing in the Blue Ridge area. Most of the cabin rentals were nice,but there was usually some disappointment. Usually in the river access, cooking utensils, and/or furnishings. Your Fish Trap Cabin was absolutely wonderful. It was clean, had great furniture and river access. I guarantee you that if we come to Blue Ridge next year this will be the cabin for us. Thank youso very much, Dave C.

We have vacationed in many homes in and around NW GA and SW NC. This is our second stay at the Fish
Trap. It is by far our favorite experience. The home is nicely laid out, comfortable, not ostentatious, and the grounds and the river are more beautiful than we can describe. The crystal clear river, the flowers, the full yard - all the best.

Manager's Response

Great location, easy to get to, close to Blue Ridge. A great place to relax.

Manager's Response

Hubby and I visited the Fish Trap last year, and loved it. We took our two dogs (paid extra, but well worth it), and the four of us had a great time. This year, we rented it and took Hubby's two sisters and their husbands. We were six in all--eight with the dogs. The cabin had everything we wanted; the kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and all kinds of utensils and containers. All but one of my in-laws fish, so they really enjoyed getting up early to cast their lines in the river. They just left their poles on the deck, and any time they took a fancy, they went fishing.
Our dogs enjoyed playing in the water and chasing each other around the yard. I walked them on leashes every day down to Gibbs, but the rest of the time they were off leash and loving it. (They don't wander off as long as we stay outside with them, and we did.)
My sisters-in-law and I went into downtown Blue Ridge. Small and quaint shops, as you'd expect in this type of area.
The town is very pet-friendly; two of the places we shopped--a thrift shop and a store that specialized in rocks--donated a percentage to animal care. My sisters-in-law bought geodes at the rock store, and the owner took one outside to put it into his "geode breaker" (looked like a giant nutcracker). It was beautiful on the inside. We had a great time.
Back to the cabin to find the men firing up the gas grill for dinner.
We stayed three nights, and all of us really found a way to unwind and chill out. My in-laws want to come back next year for a repeat. I can't wait!
