About this villa rental

Reasons to Book:
Stunning Fightingtown Creek frontage with year-round trout fishing and soothing river sounds
Luxury 6-bedroom retreat with private deck access and river views from every bedroom
Resort-style amenities including a private pool, hot tub, barrel sauna, and fire pit
Loaded entertainment spaces featuring pinball, shuffleboard, Golden Tee, poker, board games, and a media room
Conveniently located near Blue Ridge, McCaysville, rafting, tubing, hiking, and outdoor adventures

Find unmatched peace, tranquility and breathtaking natural beauty at this fully renovated modern riverside retreat, nestled beside the stunning rapids of Fightingtown Creek. Welcome to Driftwood Rapids Villa. Experience the soothing sound of rushing water that wraps around the 6300 square foot villa on a property so full of amenities that you never have to leave...and you probably won't want to. Trout fishermen and women can fish year round for Brown and Rainbow Trout in the very private waterway or use the property as a jump off point for trout fishing surrounding rivers.

Fifteen minutes in any direction and you'll be whitewater rafting through the gorgeous Cherokee National Park, tubing down a river, taking a scenic train ride, or exploring the interesting shops and restaurants of nearby McCaysville, Blue Ridge, and more.

Each of the home's six bedrooms are riverside and have personal deck access, along with black out curtains for a magical sleep. Five bedrooms including the luxurious master have king beds and large 4K TVs with the sixth bedroom sporting four bunks for the little ones. The spacious master boasts a beautiful vaulted wood ceiling, 65” flat screen with sound bar, remote controlled black out curtains, and a spacious spa-like master bath with soaker tub and double shower heads.

Beautifully designed gathering areas are abundant, from the living room with its double sided gas fireplace, to the dining room on the water with custom made dining table that seats up to 14 people. The covered deck is a sure crowd pleaser with table seating for at least 8 and a lounge area, while the upper deck lounge chairs offer a great place to catch some rays just outside your room. The generous media room is always a favorite with its 75" 4K TV with 6 hi-def speaker surround system, mini bar with fridge, game table, and floor to ceiling library.

Cook for the whole crew in the bright and well equipped gourmet kitchen, supplied with everything needed to make your best dish, including a collection of specialty small appliances and kitchen wares. A large gas grill and "grill-monitoring hammock" are positioned just steps from the kitchen for the grill expert of the group.

When not enjoying the river, take a dip in the private pool with a sun shelf or relax in the six-person hot tub just steps from the rapids. The pool is open year-round. Or, enjoy a session in the six-person barrel sauna. When you're done, gather for s'mores around the fire pit or unwind with a good book from our extensive library.

Small and "grown children" alike can test their skills at shuffleboard, BowlO-Rama, pinball, or Golden Tee PGA Tour 2025 before hitting the upper deck for a game of cornhole. Make lasting memories with a collection of over 60 new board games and puzzles, or "bet on the river" with our professional poker chip set. While simple, the record player with nearly 50 all-time albums gathers people in a magical way and is always a great conversation starter.

Let your troubles drift away. While amenities are around every corner, what you'll most likely remember from your stay is the way you feel when you're here. This one of a kind North Georgia gem will relax you to your core.

This house was amazing. Very private with a beautiful stretch of the river. Lots of room and games for the kids.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
The house was great. We loved all of it, and I think we ended up using all of it except the formal dining room. My son and I really loved cooking in the fabulous kitchen. The pinball machine was so much fun, and brought back memories of one we had years ago. The couch on the back porch was probably the favorite place for the adults to just relax and listen to the water. It rained every day that we were there, but we didn’t care because staying at the house was enough.

I can’t say enough nice things about the property, the setting, the staff at Escape to Blue Ridge and the experience. I will return!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
Our family enjoyed every part of Driftwood Rapids- inside and out. It’s been beautifully decorated and the owners were mindful of providing something for everyone. One note- if not a family group, I would inquire about bedroom/bathroom layout (only the master has an en suite).
