Whispering Waters - An Escape to Blue Ridge Cabin

Read article : Whispering Waters - An Escape to Blue Ridge Cabin

If you’re considering a North Georgia cabin rental for your next vacation and love the mountains, the woods and the water, you don’t have to choose--you’ll find all three in one magical spot at the lyrically named Whispering Waters.

Located in Mineral Bluff, 12 miles from downtown Blue Ridge, and 10 miles from Lake Blue Ridge and all the recreational activities it has to offer, the cabin sits on a private two-acre lot with breathtaking long-range mountain views and a stream running down the wooded valley year round.

With nature providing the backdrop and the soundtrack, your experience will be different depending on when you visit. Beautiful dogwoods bloom in spring, snow blankets the trees in winter, autumn brings brilliant colors and the sound of crickets, fireflies twinkle in early summer and you’ll hear the katydids chirp in late summer.

Designed for comfort, relaxation and entertaining, the recently updated cabin is constructed of pine top to bottom, with enormous new windows throughout to better appreciate the view. The main living area, with its wood-burning stone fireplace, dimmer controlled chandeliers, leather sofa with two built-in recliners and 12-foot glass French doors/sidelights facing the deck, invites you to kick back and relax. The 55” smart flat screen TV is on a swivel mount that allows for viewing from just about anywhere on the main level. There’s high-speed WiFi throughout the home.

The kitchen is fully stocked with every appliance, gadget and serving piece you’ll need to prepare your meals; crockpot, Keurig, hand mixer, blender, coffee maker, electric griddle, electric frying pan, and rice cooker included. The dining table seats six, but expands with leaves to accommodate ten, and there’s seating for two at the granite-topped kitchen island on leather bar stools. 

Or fire up the gas grill and enjoy a barbecue on the partially covered deck, where there’s a wood-burning hand-built stone masonry fireplace, dining and picnic tables, and ceiling fans with dimmable lighting. Afterward, you can soak your cares away in the hot tub on the private side patio, which has room for six.

When it’s time to retire for the night, you’ll slumber in comfort in either of the two master bedrooms, both featuring king beds with Tempurpedic mattresses, Pottery Barn duvets and shams, ceiling fans, digital clocks with USB ports for charging your cell phones, and 42” flat screen smart TVs. The main level master has a walk-in closet and front deck access, and the upstairs master has a private bath with granite vanity, pine floor, and walk-in glass round shower. 

Also on the main floor is a bunkroom tailor-made for kids, with twin bunk beds with a twin trundle, a bay window with window seat, a round gaming table and two chairs, a digital clock with USB port, and a 42” flat screen smart TV. There is a bookshelf containing books, puzzles, games, and cards for entertainment pleasure. The adjacent bathroom has a tub/shower, granite vanity, and tile floor. A full-size washer and dryer is located in one of two closets in the bunk room.

Perfect for families with older children, couples and getaways with your BFFs, Whispering Waters offers a calm and cozy retreat from the stresses of everyday life in a magnificent setting. You’ll cherish those peaceful memories long after you’ve left the mountains behind.

The 25 most expensive ZIP codes in the US are unsurprisingly concentrated on the coasts.

Real estate listings site Property Shark recently used data from all residential transactions closed in 2016 to determine which ZIP codes across the US were most expensive for buyers.

California dominated the list with 17 cities represented, including well-known places like Beverly Hills and its famous 90210 ZIP code.

New York also claimed six spots, with pricey Hamptons favorite Sagaponack coming in at No. 1.
