The cabin was perfect, so beautiful, peaceful, and well-equipped. Loved and used all outdoor spaces. The gurgling stream below the property was so soothing. All lthe trees and foliage made it feel as if you were staying in a tree house. I enjoyed walking up and down the neighborhood hilly streets. We loved our stay.

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.)

Very relaxing

We loved our stay at the Blissful Bear! The kitchen was stocked with anything you could hope for and the coffee bar was next level! The treehouse porch was our kids favorite thing. Communication with Ed was a snap. We lost internet for a couple hours due to storms, but Ed quickly helped walk us through resetting the modem and all was good again.

The Blissful Bear is….blissful!

My husband and I enjoyed staying in your beautiful home in North Georgia very much! It was relaxing and peaceful. The weather turned cool during our stay, and we enjoyed those nightly fires in the fireplace! Leaves are changing, everyday more color showed. I didn’t know leaf peeping was so much fun! Loved Engelheim Vineyard, and the Cajun Depot Grill was our fave! Thanks for sharing your little bit of Heaven in the mountains with us. We will be back!

Family Weekend Away

We’ve been to Blue Ridge/Ellijay many times over the years and The Blissful Bear may be one of my favorite places yet. The owners have taken extra time to make sure even the smallest of details is provided. The cabin was fully decorated for Christmas and made for sweet memories on our first family trip with our baby boy. Can’t recommend this place enough! Location, cleanliness, responsive hosts, and a perfect mountain retreat. We hope to be back soon!

Blissful Stay *****

If you are looking for a serene sanctuary to unwind - the Blissful Bear has it all! The cabin is situated on a beautiful, wooded plot overlooking a running creek. The sounds of water, birds and scenery are magnificent. The communication was flawless - timely and on point, and like many guests already mentioned - no detail was overlooked to make you feel welcome and comfortable. We had an incredible stay, and we appreciated every thought that went into creating this experience and delivering an exceptional hospitality. :)

Best get a way yet

The pictures online do not do this cabin ans property justice. The home is so well stocked and ready for a family. From the smores kit to family Jenga and Cornhole you couldn't go wrong just hanging out at the fireplace in the treehouse, enjoying the sound of the stream and wind in the leaves. The fully stocked coffee bar was the best surprise. Absolutely a perfect place for our family of 4. We will return.

Blissful time at Blissful Bear

5/9 - 5/16, 2022: Had a wonderful, restful time at the cabin. Loved the treehouse and the fireplace. Morning coffee in the treehouse was a must every morning. This was our first experience staying in a cabin for a vacation. Blissful Bear has set the bar high. It will be hard to beat. The hosts thought of every detail and we appreciated their thoughtfulness. Enjoyed the area especially the waterfalls. Beautiful place! Exceptional!

A Gem for sure!

My wife and i booked this cabin simply because of the look/feel of the property. We spent most of our days searching and visiting many properties in GA and NC. When at the cabin, we spent a lot of time in the Gazebo. What a great assist to the property this is. Wherever i decide to call home i will have something similar for sure! Only warning to future guests is parking. There is room for parking but is difficult with a full size crew cab Silverado. Would stay again for sure.

Look no further. This is the one.

We stayed here for a week and it felt like I was at a family member’s place. I usually pack cleaning supplies and a candle where ever we stay because I don’t trust what places advertise. They 100% delivered. It was clean comfortable and thought of all the odds and ends to make it special. I LOVED STAYING HERE. Every night we were in the treehouse playing games, s’mores and laughing by the fire. Treehouse mornings were with coffee and a book. I already recommended our cabin to friends. These hosts are doing it right!! Thank you so much for extending your kindness to us. What a great place to stay!

Fantastic Vacation Area

What a wonderful and relaxing choice this was for our family vacation. First, this was the cleanest and most well kept place we’ve ever rented. The cabin just had so many things we loved about it: comfortable beds, covered outdoor seating areas so we could still enjoy being outdoors even if it rained, and cozy indoors for late movie watching. Although everything about this home was exceptional, we would have to say the treehouse was our favorite area, and we really enjoyed sitting around the treehouse fireplace in the evenings. The coffee and hot chocolate bar was a great perk, and all of the other nice touches like quality bedding, towels, shampoo and conditioner to name a few, really made packing for this trip so easy. We found the surrounding area to be a beautiful part of the country…we like to do some hiking on vacations, and the host had great suggestions for us to check out in the area. We loved Fort Mountain State Park and Amicalola Falls - both were beautiful places to check out. We stopped in at Reece’s Cider Company for some of their delicious hard cider, and also had a great BBQ dinner at The Pink Pig. This vacation rental far exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to to come back :)

An Amazing Relaxing Weekend!

We decided to spend July 4th weekend at the cabin with another couple, and what a terrific idea it was! While we knew from photos that it was beautiful inside and out, they did not do it justice! The cabin itself - loved that there were two bedrooms with en suite baths, so if you chose to you could close off and both couples have the privacy of their own bathroom. The water got hot quickly and stayed hot through everyone's shower! We can't say enough about the beds - it was like sinking into a cloud and was an amazing night's sleep. While we did not cook in the kitchen (so many cute places to eat nearby) it appeared well stocked and clean. We spent most of our time in the mornings listening to the stream and watching the woods from the screened back porch. Most days we were so relaxed we didn't get out until lunchtime! Evenings we spent in the outside fireplace room - with a glass of wine from the local winery (Grapes and Ladders has an incredible port we all loved) until late at night. The location was about halfway between Ellijay and Blue Ridge, which was very convenient. Ed was always immediately accessible and solicited feedback for making the cabin more enjoyable - but we couldn't think of a thing! We will definitely be back again to escape the rat race in this beautiful spot!

Well appointed and thoughtful items left in the pantry for communal/guest use which was super handy. Host answered all questions and concerns promptly. Coffee bar is clutch! Great trip reconnecting with my wife and created some great memories that will last a lifetime. Very relaxing and recharging trip. While there is no access from property to the creek the gurgling sound is quite soothing. We did not use the fire areas as it was just too warm, but hanging out in the 'tree house' was quite enjoyable. Excellent host and property and would definitely consider a return trip. Watch out for the bear!
