WHAT A VIEW from the HOT TUB!

Long-range mountain views are included with this comfortable renovated 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bathroom mountain view cabin in the treetops! Only 15 minutes to downtown Blue Ridge or the Toccoa River, 20 minutes to downtown Ellijay and about 55 minutes to Helen. Recent renovation including new granite counters in the kitchen & bathrooms, new stainless kitchen appliances, a new top-grain leather sofa & loveseat for the family room, and a new king size bed in the master bedroom! We bought this cabin in 2005 and it continues to be a special place for our family. We want you to experience the enchantment and adventure that the cabin and the area offer!

From the covered back porch, you will feel like you're in a treehouse! Enjoy the relaxing hot tub, a 3-person swing, rocking chairs and beautiful mountain views! The large family room has a gas-log fireplace, a 50 inch smart cable TV with over 100 channels, ceiling fan, leather sofa & loveseat and a comfy recliner. Horseback riding facilities, waterfalls, hiking trails, zip-lining, tubing and the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway (open-air train rides) are all nearby! The Benton Mackaye trail runs right through the mountain that the cabin sits on! There are also several lakes within hiking distance and wildlife abounds! Many of our guests have seen bears, deer and wild turkeys on the property.

The cabin has central heat and air conditioning for your comfort. The master bedroom has a comfortable king size pillow top mattress and the guest bedroom has a comfy queen size pillow top mattress. Both bedrooms are on the main level! The master bedroom has a private full bathroom with a shower/tub combo and another flat screen cable TV. The guest bedroom has a private shower and sink, and the hallway half-bath with a toilet and sink is located just outside of the guest bedroom. In the basement, there is another comfortable queen bed and two twin/single beds! In the unfinished (but clean) section of the basement there is a Ping-pong table, a Foosball table and a private half-bathroom recently added! There are ceiling fans in all bedrooms and the cabin interior has beautiful pine floors, walls and ceilings, no drywall. A paved driveway and parking pad with room for up to 4 cars, and no-steps easy entry into the cabin!

Come and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature at "The Bear's Lair" cabin in the beautiful North Georgia Mountains! Don't forget your firewood for the firepit or it can be bought locally. Exterior security cameras are in use (out front only). Carbon monoxide and smoke detectors are on each floor for your safety. About 90 minutes north of Atlanta. No pets allowed. Please note that the posted rates are good for up to 4 people. There are extra fees for more than 4 guests. You must enter the correct number of guests to get accurate pricing. Thank you!

The cabin was nice and very clean. It had all the amenities that we needed. We enjoyed using the hot tub to relax our muscles after a long day of hiking several beautiful trails in the area and we had ping pong tournaments with the kids at night. It was very relaxing to sit out on the back porch and just listen to nature while watching the beautiful view of the mountains. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone wanting to stay in the Blue Ridge area.

Great place amazing views

We went up for Valentines weekend. House was very clean and had an amazing view off the deck. The weather was not good but we had a wonderful time because the house felt like we were at home and very comfortable. Definitely recommend this place when staying in Blue Ridge.

Excellent stay!

We visit the N Ga mountains frequently and have stayed in many cabins. This one, by far, was one of the best! The view from the back porch was breath taking. The hot tub is very roomy and nice and clean. We hiked a couple times and in the rainy times, we enjoyed playing scrabble and just sitting on the porch swing. Our favorite evening routine was the fire and s’mores. Book the stay! You won’t regret!

The cabin and surroundings were exactly as advertised, including sightings of wildlife. The amenities made us feel like we were home.

Cozy but Spacious

The cabin was cozy, but spacious and very clean. The view from the hot tub and large back patio has a great view of the mountains. There are cabins nearby, but still felt private. The drive to downtown was 15-20 minutes, but nice. Eddie, the host was very helpful and nice. I would rent this cabin again.

Blue Ridge Bear’s Lair

The cabin was very clean, comfortable and well located for all the things we wanted to do. The only thing that I would point out and it is certainly not the property owners fault is the road going up the mountain to the cabin is a little rugged, but still drivable. I would caution that Internet accessibility is limited and slow and is probably not an issue with the cabin as much with the area!

The Perfect getaway

We enjoyed the hot tub and foosball with the kids. Made family dinners and cuddled close to watch movies together as a family. It’s a cute little cabin at the top of Cherry Log Mountain. We had tickets to the Holiday Train in Blue Ridge which was within minutes of our location. We’ll have to come back in the Fall to check out the scenery more and enjoy some hiking during a little warmer weather. Definitely would recommend this listing for anytime of year! Happy Holidays!

Amazing view and hospitality

The cabin was beautiful and the view off of the back porch stunning!! Mr. Garcia went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and suggested some places to go and things to do!! Although we did not bring our children, I did notice they have plastic cups and plates for those who choose to bring kids which I thought was nice to have! We saw deer off the back balcony as well as on the drive up and down to the cabin. It is only about 15 minutes to downtown blue ridge and the same to Ellijay! We did not want to leave from this beautiful place!! We will definitely be back!!! :D Thank you so much again for a wonderful stay and beautiful home!!

Nice cabin

Nice cabin, comfortable, with most everything you need. Check-in was easy. Communication with owner was prompt and friendly. Location was good. Close to everything in the area. Lots of wildlife on the drive to and from the cabin. The roads in and out are rough. The biggest negative is that there is nothing to do at the cabin. Down an extremely narrow stairway, there are Pingpong and foosball tables downstairs in an area that is under repairs. If you open that backdoor down there, there is a narrow porch, but it's not a space to sit out or anything. There is no maintained yard area. The firepit is right in front of the cabin and that's it. To oneside there is a swing for kids, but it is not maintained. There is a hottub, we used it, but the chemicals were really strong (it bleached a bathingsuit from green to gray) so that was a one and done situation. You can't walk the property. We didn't spend much time at the cabin, which was somewhat disappointing.

The basement has a queen bed and two twin beds, a toilet, but no bathroom. That would make it impossible for us to bring family. But other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed the building. The journey up the mountain was a little precarious.
