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!

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!

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.

This place was amazing. Super clean and they thought of everything you might possibly need. Ed, the owner checked in with us to be sure we had averything we needed.. only downside, was the road in, it had been raining and with all the leaves that were falling, it was a little slick in a couple of places but slow and steady, we made it in and out without a problem.

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.
