Perched above a private waterfall with panoramic mountain views, Waterfall Lodge offers a rare vantage point over the Southern Blue Ridge. This elegant four-bedroom home was designed to impress, from the expansive decks to the floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the horizon. With dramatic scenery, thoughtful design, and a setting just 20 minutes from Downtown Blue Ridge, the experience here is as elevated as the view.
THE SPACE
Inside Waterfall Lodge, the soaring great room brings the landscape in through walls of glass. A stone fireplace anchors the social concept living area, flanked by leather seating and a backdrop of layered ridgelines. The kitchen sits just beyond, with granite counters, stainless appliances, and natural wood cabinetry. A live-edge dining table rests beside wide windows that catch the first light of day. A dedicated workspace upstairs provides a quiet place to focus between outings.
On the main is a beautiful main ensuite with private bath showcasing a large whirlpool tub and separate dual head shower. Two bedrooms are located on the upper level, one with a private a balcony with views for miles and connecting Jack-and-Jill bath to the other bedroom. The lower level includes an additional bedroom – steps away from the game room - and bathroom, offering extra privacy for extended family or friends.

Outdoors, the scene is unforgettable where there are more than 50 miles of unobstructed short and long-range Blue Ridge Mountain vistas that surround the home 180 degrees. A 25-foot waterfall cascades beside the home into a rock-lined pond, visible from the deck above. The hot tub sits under cover, perfectly placed for cool evenings and morning mist. A fire pit near the waterfall invites long conversations under the stars, and the garage has been converted into a game room which also includes views of the Blue Ridge Mountains through the full-glass garage door. This is the hot spot to chill where guests can play a game of pool, table tennis or compete with each other on the 4-player upright arcade machine with 4,708 vintage video games. Younger guests will love the cozy, woodland-themed reading nook furnished with plush, kid-sized beanbag chairs and plenty of children's books.
Located in a quiet enclave of the Southern Blue Ridge, Waterfall Lodge offers paved access and an easy drive to Downtown Blue Ridge, just 20 minutes away. Scenic trails, boutique shops, orchards, and wineries are within reach—but it’s the setting right here that will stay with you long after your visit.
Set against the backdrop of the Southern Blue Ridge Mountains, this region of North Georgia is defined by its natural grandeur, rich Appalachian culture, and a wide range of experiences that bring visitors back year after year. From scenic drives to forested trails, mountain lakes, and storied small towns, the area offers outdoor adventure, artisan heritage, and quiet retreats.
Downtown Blue Ridge, just over 20 minutes from Waterfall Lodge, is a lively hub of galleries, boutiques, and locally owned restaurants. Hop aboard the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway for a ride along the Toccoa River, or browse the offerings at the town’s farmers market and craft breweries. Nearby, Mercier Orchards welcomes visitors year-round for seasonal fruit picking, tastings, and baked goods straight from the farm.
Nature lovers will find no shortage of places to roam. Hike to Fall Branch Falls or explore parts of the Benton MacKaye and Appalachian Trails. Kayaking, paddleboarding, and fly fishing are popular on the Toccoa River and Lake Blue Ridge. For sweeping views, a drive through the Cohutta Wilderness or a stop at Brasstown Bald—the highest point in Georgia—is well worth the effort.
Guests will also enjoy exploring the waterfalls of Tallulah Gorge, the vineyards of Dahlonega, and the Bavarian-style mountain town of Helen. Chattanooga, Tennessee, and the college town of Athens, Georgia, make for memorable day trips.
