The Blue Canoe | Cozy Lakefront Getaway in Blue Ridge | Rustic and Elegant

Welcome to The Blue Canoe! This upscale Lake Blue Ridge cottage is a lake or mountain connoisseur’s dream! Whether you want to soak up the lakefront view from every room, sunbathe on the second level of the dock or enjoy a glass of wine by the fire-pit, this unique property has something for the whole family.

Surrounded by United States Forestry Service, our cottage is perfectly situated off Aska Road, near hiking and biking trails and within a short drive to the shopping and restaurants of downtown Blue Ridge.

Regardless of the adventure you’re seeking, you’ll have a great appreciation for The Blue Canoe – located only feet from Lake Blue Ridge with 331 feet of shoreline, properties like this can no longer be replicated.

The property was tastefully updated mid-2022 to include a professional interior designer’s touch (rivals Highland’s and Cashier’s luxury), new appliances, three TVs and a fabulous blend of updated, yet comfortable furnishings. If you need to work lakeside, a tasteful office space is situated on the bottom level with wireless/ethernet connections and quality internet.

As an added feature, we also have a pontoon available for rent, giving you the opportunity to explore the lake...and the best part, the boat will be at the dock upon your arrival! Already have a boat? Feel free to bring your own as well!

Perfect Spring Break getaway

Loved this lake cabin. Owners did a great job with the upscale cozy cabin decor. Cabin had everything we needed for a short stay. Kids loved fishing & the kayaks. I loved relaxing on the upper dock reading and watching Bald Eagles.

Beautiful home on the lake

Absolutely fantastic cabin on Blue Ridge Lake. Great views from everywhere in the cabin. The house is well stocked with everything you need. We had a blast in the house and the dock which has 2 kayaks for your use. Great check in process, fantastic host, easy check in process and, inportantly, a reasonable check out list.Cant recommend this place enough.

It was a lovely family vacation and it being at the end of the road in the forest was perfect. Good walking roads and quiet on the lake. Owners easy to communicate with - we will definitely return.

Great Stay!

Such a cute cabin and perfect for our girls trip. The cabin was adorable and the owners were great at communicating and very accommodating. The road to the cabin was a little intimidating (which I think is typical for cabin rentals) but completely worth it once we arrived and we have a wonderful time!

My children, their spouses, my grandson, and my sweet wife had an incredibly wonderful…spectacular 4day/3 night stay at Blue Canoe. All the amenities were just perfect…rental of the pontoon made the trip complete. We will rebook this property!!

Great getaway on a beautiful property

We stayed here as a family of five with three kids under seven and had a blast. The house has plenty of living space and separate quarters for parents and adults. They did not cheap out on bedding either, both queen beds were incredibly comfortable. The house location on the lake is perfect, not too much boat traffic and deep water right off the dock for endless entertainment for the kids. Owners were a 10/10 with responsiveness and communication, we plan to come back next summer!

Family vacation on Blue Ridge

The trip was amazing. The property was beautiful, and we loved the dock. We could easily rent the boat at the dock, and this allowed us a beautiful day on the lake. The house was so clean, and we had access to the grill, too. If we could rent it for the week, we would.

Sweetness in the woods

We loved driving out to this cabin because even though we were only 15 mins from civilization, we felt like we were alone in the woods. Had a wonderful time exploring the lake and reading by the fire.

Excellent view and surroundings

Cozy lake house. Plenty of space for our family. The drive up may be a bit intimidating for those used to flat lands like us Floridians, but breathtaking all the same. The lake is just beautiful. Definitely recommend the pontoon ride . Close to town and restaurants. Definitely a great escape from the craziness.

Peaceful and perfect!

Great location for us! We caught fish each day (bass, catfish and some sunnies) all while enjoying the peace and quiet of the area. The cabin was nice, had all amenities as listed and worked great for our needs. The long windy road was an experience but we got the hang of it, an suv or awd type vehicle is a good idea. We really appreciated the local hiking spots and waterfalls where could enjoy the beautiful outdoors with our dogs! The owner provided all the needed details and we had no issues so didnt need to bother them. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the near future! Highly recommend!

Beautiful get away

We spent Thanksgiving weekend with our family including our 91 year old mother at this charming lake house. There were a couple glitches due to circumstances outside of the owners control and they bent over backwards to make accommodations. Overall a lovely experience!

Top notch rental with sweeping views and f the lake.

The entire experience was FABULOUS for the Blue Canoe Cabin. Well-appointed, clean, spacious and cozy. Saw bald eagles and star gazed from the dock upper deck. No complaints but we could not find the “ blue canoe”. Found the blue oars (that’s a joke folks). We will rent this cabin again.

Perfect lake retreat

This home is just perfect. It has a ton of great areas in a compact space. But it doesn’t live small. It’s open with views on top of views. My favorite time was dawn on the porch listening to the birds greeting the day. The peace and quiet of this area is so calming. Love it. Hope to return!

Blue Canoe with Friends

Our trip was with another couple just to visit. The location was off the beaten path, but worth the effort! Right on the lake with a very nice boat dock to swim from. Everything about Blue Canoe was as advertised. Plenty of dishes, cookware and appliances and towels for swimming. We heartily recommend this VRBO and would go back. But there are a LOT of stairs.

Family getaway in Blue Ridge

The Blue Canoe is a just-as-advertised, luxurious and charming cabin with panoramic views of Lake Blue Ridge. The weather was perfect for our stay in late March. The beds are comfortable, the bedding nice, and the place was the perfectly clean. Browse the boutiques in downtown Blue Ridge, fly fish for trout, and return to the Blue Canoe for dinner (stocked kitchen, thank you!) and a movie. Enjoyed a cup of coffee (in a custom Blue Canoe mug) and lake views each morning. WiFi was better than my house. Hosts were easy to access. Thank you!

Wonderful experience!

We had four toddlers and four adults at The Blue Canoe this weekend and had a wonderful time. The host was *INCREDIBLE* in terms of response time and communication. The home is lovely and tastefully decorated. The location is on a quiet part of the lake but it was still close to the main part of the lake. We highly recommend renting the boat because that was our favorite part of the weekend. Make sure to get out to the middle of the lake for the best views of the sunsets! Two things to note: We lost power both nights, so bring flashlights. Luckily the power was returned quickly. Also, the house has a very steep staircase going to the bottom level, so it isn't the safest for toddlers. Still, we loved the experience and would love to go back!
