Blissful peace in the woods

This cabin felt like home. The feeling you will get just rocking in the chairs or sitting outside listening to the creek and birds will immediately melt the stress away. The area is beautiful and well maintained. Would recommend 100%Basic essentials well stocked, coffee bar, games and room to relax just a few unexpected bonuses.

Blissful Getaway

The Blissful Bear is full of modernized log cabin charm and provided the peaceful calm we were seeking. The treehouse fireplace and the screened in porch were perfect for enjoying the soothing sounds of the rushing creek, the variety of birds, and a rainstorm. The owners have thought of every last detail to make your stay comfortable and memorable. Definitely planning to stay here again!

This cabin is absolutely beautiful with every amenity you can imagine plus more. The sound of the rushing stream at the foot of the hill by the firepit was so relaxing and having our morning coffee in the treehouse was too. I wish it was colder so we could have had a fire out there. We plan to return next year. Many thanks to our host for such a relaxing vacation.

Wonderful stay!

Cabin was clean with extra touches of hospitality and easy communication with host. We weren't able to enjoy the tree house much due to recent pollen season and lights were not working in that area during the evening, but nonetheless we had a great stay and would consider another stay in the future!

Incredible Getaway

Our stay at The Blissful Bear was one of the Top 5 vacation experiences we have ever had. The cabin was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and our stay was filled with great memories. Edward and his wife have truly provided a beautiful “Home Away From Home” for someone looking for a peaceful oasis in the North Georgia mountains.

Blissful Bear Blissful Honeymoon

As very active, well traveled 60 year olds wanting to "check out" and relax, this was so perfect! Coffee on the screened in porch and by the fireside in the tree house throughout the day was perfect. The soothing sounds of the creek and easy hike from the property to the lake were fun. Walking in the sparsely populated neighborhood yielded beautiful woods and some mountain views. Lots of nearby towns to explore - including the Big Food museum for bragging rights to grand kids. We hope to go back! (Linens, towels, kitchen, etc. were nice.)

Beautiful and Relaxing

The Blissful Bear cabin was in a great location near Blue Ridge and a host of small towns with great dining, national parks with hiking, creeks and wildlife. We enjoyed the outdoor fireplace every single day and the ability to sit outside and watch the creek flow by. The cabin inside was comfortable, well stocked, and had nearly everything we needed. Our hosts were very communicative and helpful during my first VRBO rental. We typically do not repeat trips so that we can explore new areas, but we will 100% stay at The Blissful Bear cabin again.

Perfect weekend getaway

The Blissful Bear is the perfect place to stay whether youre looking for a weekend getaway or longer. Perfectly situated between Elijay and Blue Ridge there is always something to explore. My wife and I loved the s'mores welcome gift, the fall decor, and quiet sounds of the creek. Hiking was easy to get to because the cabin was located right off the main roads. We also enjoyed a paved, easy access to the cabin. We will definitely be back soon!
