This cabin was so wonderful for our summer family vacation! The owners go above and beyond to make sure everything you could need is stocked and labeled. From soaps to trash bags to paper plates, it was there! We even had a question about something and the owners were quick to respond. Everything is so clean! We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again. Things to be aware of:The drive up to the cabin is very curvy, bring a good vehicle!The walk down to the stream is steep, but well marked and has stairs to help the hike. Not too bad for your average joe. The river was wonderful to have!

Clean, Beautiful & Owners who are Attentive

Beautiful, quiet location. We had a few questions during our stay and the owners were so quick to respond. We also appreciated all the "extras" that not many owners provide anymore... for example: plenty of toilet paper, several dishwashing pods, a few things of coffee/hot cocoa, large towels for hot tub, etc... Our teens loved the basement space... felt like they had there own guest house down there. We had a great stay!

Perfect house and location for an extended family weekend!

Our extended family consisting of six adults and six teenagers spent a long weekend at this amazing cabin. The cabin was all of the superlatives - exceptionally clean, extremely comfortable, and beautifully decorated. There is plenty of space to lounge in multiple rooms and the kitchen was well-stocked. The location is beautiful with direct access to the creek, which we enjoyed fishing and tubing in! We also enjoyed the rec center for pickle ball, weights, and swimming in the pool. We will definitely be back!

Overall Great Cabin in Elijay

Overall home was clean, organized and many things provided as well as everything very well labeled to make finding things super easy. Only downsides were mentioned in other reviews. Last portion of road is gravel (two hills were pretty rough from cement truck traffic). It is a good hike from house to water. We would definitely stay here again or any other home by this host.

River Bear Lodge is a beautiful, very spacious cabin-we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. 3 nights was not long enough, I wish we could have stayed longer to see more of the area, I could have just stayed at the cabin for days without leaving. The owners, Deana and Jason, were so nice, and easy to get in touch with. I carried things that we use daily, but it wasn’t necessary, as they had the cabin stocked well. I have not the first bad thing to say about this cabin and the owners. And we all (especially the grand babies) got a kick out of seeing the many deer on the way in and a bear in our driveway. We would stay here again for sure. :) I didn’t get many pictures without people in them lol but here are a few.

I love a fireplace/fire. We made smores with the grands…and honestly, at age 55 this was my first time too making smores :)-

Awesome Family Gathering

What a fun, peaceful gathering at this beautiful cabin! The location on the river was so nice, and we appreciated the comfortable accommodations, fully stocked kitchen, and the many personal touches throughout the property. The hosts were very responsive and quick to address our questions. We loved the ease of hopping in the river with our tubes. The downstairs game room, pool table and hot tub gave our teens plenty to do. Lots of spaces to gather and to spread out. Overall, it was nearly perfect. Thanks for everything!

Every detail is beautiful!

My family of 6 (all are 18+) stayed in this beautiful home for 5 nights and we all loved it! It was spacious and completely furnished with everything we needed, and more.Every detail in this home was thought through. We loved being on the river and had a blast hanging out on the deck, grilling out, making a fire in the fire pit, roasting s’mores and just relaxing by the river. We counted deer one day as we drove to the property and counted 41! We visited Elijay, Blue Ridge and Amicalola Falls and all enjoyed our trips. Highly recommend!

Wonderful

This is the best rental we’ve ever stayed. Home was immaculately clean, well stocked. We don’t have a single complaint. Owners definitely thought through everything to insure you have a wonderful time. We had ages 6 months to 60’s and everyone loved. We played in river at house, enjoyed hot tube and picnics on deck. In evenings we roasted marshmallows on deck fireplace. We had 2 days of cold and rain. There is a very nice indoor community pool kids enjoyed. One day we went to park on river and went hiking. The game room on lower level was really enjoyed.
