Family Adventure HQ: Great Fire Pit, Huge Porch, Near Town & Trails

Welcome to our home!

Reconnect with friends or family for a fun-filled weekend, or spend a leisurely week enjoying the hiking of beautiful Blue Ridge, Georgia, with amenities like a great firepit, 6 person hot tub, and fully equipped kitchen - just a quick walk to the lake a short drive to downtown Blue Ridge!

The road and driveway are paved to our front door. We have 4 private bedrooms, and a bunk room that's great for kids. We're completely kid friendly with optional bedrails, baby gates, and even a high chair available. Cooking is easy with a fully equipped kitchen and gas grill. Huge covered porches, a 6 person hot tub, corn hole, horseshoes, tetherball, and a huge stone patio with a fire pit make Hid 'n' Timber a great place for socializing outdoors. We're 7 miles from the conveniences of town, 1.5 miles from Aska hiking & biking, a quarter mile from Blue Ridge Lake, and 3 miles from the Toccoa River (3 kayaks available for loan); there's truly not a more convenient location in North GA for outdoor enthusiasts.

This is a perfect getaway for the avid or occasional outdoors-person! Situated in the heart of Georgia's Aska Adventure area, some of the country's premier hiking, mountain biking, canoeing and kayaking is just moments away from the front door. Spend a long day busy with endless activities, and come back and relax in a comfortable lodge filled with things to do after dark.

We have a fully equipped kitchen, a bar for once the kids are asleep, and board games for kids of all ages. Foosball and a MortalKombat 1UP Arcade game on the Terrace level. Wake up and enjoy your morning coffee on one of our three covered porches surrounded by the sounds of nature.

There are 3 full bathrooms, and four private bedrooms, Master with King sized bed and 3 have comfortable Queen sized beds. The fifth bedroom has 4 bunk beds for the kids to share- it's away from the other bedrooms, so the adults will never hear the fun they are having! The master has it's own porch to relax in privacy, as well as a jetted tub to relax away the soreness of a long hike.

Our home is just a quarter mile to private access to Lake Blue Ridge, so bring your canoes!

ASKA TRAILS AREA: This area contains a 17-mile hiking and mountain biking trail system located on national forest land near Deep Gap and Stanley Gap south of Blue Ridge. Trails ascend to near 3,200 feet, providing vistas of mountain ridges, and descend to the shores of beautiful Lake Blue Ridge. They also pass through coves of mature hardwoods as well as traversing thickets of laurel and rhododendron.

HIKING: There are plenty of trails for everyone- easy to strenuous, young to old. The Aska Trails area is just 1.5 miles from the driveway to the trail head! This includes Stanley Gap, Green Mountain, and Flat Creek Loop. Not to mention the Rich Mountain And Cohutta Wilderness areas are just a short drive away!

MOUNTAIN BIKING: Aska Trails, Turkey Farm Loop, and Stanley Creek Rd. are all within 3 short miles! These trails are regarded as some of the best in the South.

CANOEING & KAYAKING: Beautiful rivers abound! Come raft down the Toccoa, kayak the Cartecay, or canoe the Olympic courses of the Ocoee, or just spend the day lounging on Lake Blue Ridge! Don't have your own gear? Outfitters and rentals are all along Aska Rd.

DOWNTOWN BLUE RIDGE: There are plenty of art galleries in downtown Blue Ridge, just 6 miles away, representing an artistic style unique to the Appalachian Mountains. You'll also find craft stores, antiques, cafes, and fine dining restaurants. The Scenic Railway also runs from Blue Ridge to McCaysville, GA, and marks the beginning of the Gold Rush in Georgia.

You won't lack for entertainment at Hid 'n' Timber of Blue Ridge, GA!

This was the second time for our family to stay at Hid ‘n Timber - 10 of us from ages 17 to 78. We like the layout of the house for our family with 3 different levels. There’s lots to do in the Blue Ridge area - there’s just not enough time to do it all in a week! The owner has been prompt with issues that have come up. Last year we were there during the tornado that came through - he was on top of getting the trees removed and letting us know when power would be restored. This year we had a new generator and air conditioner. Looking forward to returning next year!

Perfect Place To Stay for our Spring Break Gettaway!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this cabin. The pictures do not do it justice. It is a gorgeous property with privacy and lots of things for kids to do. The downstairs area was perfect for our kids to play and watch movies. They loved the fooseball table, assortment of games, and arcade game. The adults enjoyed the fire pit area and we sat around it every night. The beds were super comfortable. We had 5 boys ages 4-8 and they loved the bunk room. We also enjoyed the hot tub and explored the woods. We hope to return one day when the weather is warmer and enjoy some water activities. During our trip, we visited the Bear Claw Winery and the Toccoa Swinging Bridge. Matt was a great host and the cabin was very clean.

Fabulous Spacious Getaway Spot
We had a group of 14, adults and children and had a wonderful time relaxing by the firepit, in the hot tub, playing with the kids in the basement, and using the well-stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds and bedrooms. Close to the lake and Aska National hiking trails and we love downtown Blue Ridge, shops and restaurants. Will return!

Wonderful house, responsive owner
This is a great house for a group of families looking to get away. The basement with the bunk room, TV set up and foosball allowed our teens to have fun time away from the adults upstairs. The kitchen was very well equipped and the owner responded immediately when we had a question about getting the temperature up on the lower level. The master bedroom is gorgeous. Would definitely stay here again.

Very pleased with this property and the owner. The cabin could use a deep clean, but I understand many people are busy with the holidays and that may not be feasible. Other than that, very welcoming, child friendly cabin & thanks to Matt for answering all of my messages!

Beautiful home away from home.
it felt very warm and cozy from the moment she entered the house. We did not have neighbors right on top of us which is exactly what we wanted. If you have a large group going with you like we did you don’t feel like you’re right on top of everybody, there was plenty of room for everyone. We would certainly rent this property again.

Just what we needed
Being in a neighborhood was a different experience then we ever had, but turned out to be a great idea. Having access to the lake and kayaks brought the teens endless hours of fun. Between hiking, foosball touraments, smores by the fireplace and relaxing in the hot tub, this place has it all.

The house is beautiful and has all the amenities and space we needed for all four families and young children. Bedrooms are spacious, house was very clean, kitchen has everything you need to cook, everything in the listing was in working condition, the outside fireplace is awesome. We went kayaking, hiking, tubing, winery/brewery, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Will come back!

Spacious property
We had a large group with teenagers. This place gave everyone adequate room. The basement was nice bc the kids spent most of their time down there. The bunk room was great for the boys. The kids enjoyed the hot tub as well as the kayaks. It should be noted that the lake entrance is too far to walk with the kayaks. We had to load them up in my suv and drive them down. We saw lots of deer in the yard but no bears. The drive to town was easy. I'd stay here again.

The cabin is nice and big, good location and easy access but it needs more TLC and cleaning. Area rugs were dirty, blinds and lamps were dusty, shower curtains had mold in the lower half. The mattress in the master bedroom needs to be replaced.
