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.
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.
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 sâmores. Book the stay! You wonât regret!
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.
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, 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 cabin and surroundings were exactly as advertised, including sightings of wildlife. The amenities made us feel like we were home. Beds were comfortable, cooking was convenient, and clean up was easy. Eddie even ordered the best weather for our trip! The area has great hiking, delicious foods, and friendly residents.
We really enjoyed our visit. Hot tub was great. The extra beds in the basement were great for the kids. Beds upstairs were really comfortable. Awesome view from the porch. We would rent this house again.
We enjoyed the hot tub and foosball with the kids. Made family dinners and cuddled close to watch movies together as a family. Itâs 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. Weâll 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!
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!
This cabin in the sky has beautiful views of the forrest. Comfortable, clean and homey, we enjoyed our lazy evenings of friendship in front of the fire. Eddie checked in to make sure everything was great. We will be back!
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.
Charming cabin exactly as advertised and extremely clean. Host called to check on us and make sure all was well. We enjoyed day trips to sights around the cabin. Definitely will come back here and 5 stars for sure.
Our family (husband, myself and sons 20&17) had a delightful time at the Bearâs 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 itâs 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 Bearâs Lair again on our next trip!
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.
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.
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!
We had a great couple of nights here! Ed was extremely responsive and helpful, and the cabin was as cozy and clean as advertised.
Gorgeous views off the back porch, and tons of privacy made it feel like we were miles away from civilization.
This trip was exactly what we needed! 10/10 highly recommend!
You can hike from our cabin front door for about one mile and actually get onto the Benton Mackaye Trail! There are also numerous water falls in Fannin county to explore! Only a 15 minute drive to Downtown Blue Ridge where you can enjoy so many wonderful shops and restaurant options! About one hour to Helen, GA.
