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.

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.

Bear lair

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.

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!

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 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!

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!

Our family (husband, myself and sons 20&17) had a delightful time at the Bear’s Lair Cabin. We had deer and turkey visit multiple times daily. My son spent hours taking pictures! The cabin was very clean and comfortable and the woodsy decor added to the charm! It was spacious enough that a couple of us were able to escape the snoring at night from a couple humans! It was so quiet and peaceful there (minus our snorers!) even though it’s not far from downtown Blue Ridge or Elijay. The owner texted a day or so after we arrived to make sure everything was ok. (He also texted when it was discovered we left our swim bag hanging on the hook after we left. They were kind enough to mail it to us!) We definitely plan to book the Bear’s Lair again on our next trip!

Exactly what we were hoping for!

This cabin was perfect for my adult daughter and I to enjoy a Blue Ridge Mountain adventure. The cabin is very clean and attractively decorated. We appreciated that there was a washer and dryer available to use. The view from the front porch is awesome and we saw a couple of deer right underneath us! There are many great attractions, cute shops and hiking trails nearby. We also took a day trip to Chattanooga, TN. Ed was very easy to reach and responsive if we needed anything. I am sure anyone would enjoy this cabin.

Quiet and Relaxing Getaway

The cottage was very clean and fresh, and we had no real problems. There were a couple of minor issues which the owner dealt with quickly; excellent communications with him. Nice view from the deck, hot tub was relaxing after a day of hiking, and rocking chairs were nice. The kitchen was adequate and had all the essential cookware and utensils. WIFI was very good and provided good coverage for our phones. As some others have commented, the road was a little rough (a 4-wheel drive is certainly not needed) but the curves had a washboard effect and the inside of the curves was particularly rough. After the first drive up, I learned to stay on the extreme outside or the curves (go slow and be alert for on-coming traffic) and that made the drive much easier. On the morning we left, they were scraping the road so I suspect the situation was much better after we left. Lots of good trails in the area (we went into the Aska area twice) and plenty of good restaurants in Blue Ridge. We particularly liked Ferraro's which is pricey but had exquisite food, and we liked Southern Charm. All-in-all, we would stay here again if we decide to go back to the Blue Ridge area.

Amazing Blue Mountain Experience

This cabin is everything one would want for a cabin. The view is stunning and the cabin has all that is needed. The property owner is available for all questions and is clear and helpful. The only scary part is the drive up. I suggest a 4x4. I had a van and made it up, but it was a scary climb. The cabin is at the highest point which is great for amazing views. It is centrally located to all waterfalls and wineries. We truly had an amazing mountain experience!
