We also enjoy just walking the property around the cabin and the quiet, scenic neighborhood.-5 minutes from fishing on the Toccoa River or a premier guided trout fly fishing experience on private land; the best river tubing In the area at the Toccoa Valley Campground; kayaking and canoeing excursions, gem mining, 2 highly rated restaurants, and a convenience store.-13 miles to Lake Blue Ridge for swimming, kayaking, or boating on Lake Blue Ridge-13 miles to Blue Ridge Adventure Park-13 miles to Downtown Blue Ridge for shopping, dining, and the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway-Within 20-30 minutes you can visit several area Vineyards and Wineries, and Mercier Orchards.-45 minutes from world class Whitewater Rafting on the Ocoee River!-Once the sun goes down, explore the stunning starry night sky as it can only be seen from Aska Stargazer laying back in the deck lounge chairs or house telescope!Guest accessGuests of Aska Stargazer have the entire cabin to themselves for the duration of their stay.Things to consider:-Aska Stargazer is equipped with security cameras that face away from the cabin at the front door and parking area.-Access to this property is via an inclined gravel drive. You might be nervous driving on this surface the first time or two, but you get used to it quickly. AWD is recommended and will make it easier, but not required, and there are alternative routes.-We recommend arriving during daylight the first time, if possible, as there are no street lights on the gravel drive. However, there is landscape lighting that automatically comes on at dusk around the home itself.-Our cabin is in the woods in the mountains, home to wildlife of many kinds, and critters of the four or more legs varieties. We have regular pest control, and, within reason, we are glad to send them out between regular visits if you see anything you are bothered by.
