Septic System Guidelines
Bleu Canoe operates on a septic system—guests must follow these rules:
- Only flush toilet paper in toilets; avoid flushing other items such as wipes or feminine hygiene products.
- Do not dispose of food waste down kitchen sinks.
These measures help maintain the property’s eco-friendly infrastructure and prevent plumbing issues during your stay.

- Pet fee: $30 per stay
- Dogs must be over 2 years old, up-to-date on vaccinations, potty-trained, non-aggressive toward people or other dogs, and treated with flea medication.
- Barking should be minimal—excessive barking disrupts other guests’ experiences.

Wildlife Awareness
Bleu Canoe’s property is surrounded by hundreds of acres of forested land that is home to local wildlife such as black bears, bobcats, raccoons, and more. To ensure safety:
- Do not leave trash outside your cabin or tiny home overnight.
- Store coolers inside or in locked vehicles after use.
- Burn off grills after cooking to remove food residue that may attract animals.
Enjoy observing wildlife from a distance while respecting their natural habitat!
Campfire Guidelines
Fire Pits
- Fish camp cabins have access to two communal fire pits.
- Each tiny home includes its own private fire pit for use during your stay.
Guests are asked to ensure campfires are completely extinguished when finished. During dry seasons, burn restrictions may be enforced by Rabun County for safety reasons—guests will be notified of these restrictions as needed.
