The Rustic Ruby is a 2.5-acre waterfront retreat in Morganton, Georgia, fifteen minutes from downtown Blue Ridge. Mornings mean fishing off the dock, evenings mean the fire pit swing and a sky dark enough to count the stars.
There's a reason guests keep coming back. The Rustic Ruby gives you a private dock, 2.5 quiet acres, and a fire pit swing waiting at the end of the day.
Wake to mist rising off the pond, coffee in hand on your own dock. The pond is shared with a couple of neighboring homeowners, never open to the public, so it stays peaceful and uncrowded. Fish for bass, trout, catfish, and bluegill right from the water's edge, or settle into the screened-in porch and watch the pond glimmer through the trees.
When evening comes, load the custom swing fire pit with firewood picked up in Blue Ridge and watch the string lights take over as the sky goes dark. Inside, two gas fireplaces, one in the living room and one in the primary bedroom, keep the cabin warm through cool mountain nights.

Caught tons of fish in the pond and seen deer on the property daily! Would absolutely stay there again!"
