Why the Owner Chose Highlands

We live in the Metro Atlanta area and had been visiting Highlands for many years. We would come each year usually over the 4th of July, during the leaf season in October and then any other time we had a chance. We had always wanted to own a home here and were so thrilled when we found "The Bear". It had everything we were looking for in a 2nd home. Best place in the world to cool off during our long hot southern summers! And we have simply loved watching our grandsons grow up at The Bear.

The Unique Benefits at this Mountain Cabin

Rain or shine...you will love relaxing on the huge covered porch. There's plenty of room for reading, conversing with friends and family, playing games or dining. There are miles and miles of quaint mountain roads for taking long walks...don't miss a stroll to feed the swans at Mirror Lake! The cabin is cozy and comfortable but when you're ready to head to town for the fabulous shopping and dining you're only 5 minutes away. We're also close to many great hikes and waterfall attractions. Having 2 living areas plus 2 large porches gives great privacy for large groups also.

B
Mirror Lake Park

Fish or feed the swans

C

Owner's Map of Highlands

We're Richard and Cathy Adams and we've been in the custom homebuilding business in the North Atlanta area for over 20 years. We recently built a new home about a mile from our rental cabin and love to come by and meet our guests...we have met some terrific people.

    • We spent a delightful month at the Bear Necessity! The house was very attractive and easy to maintain. The kitchen had all the tools. Highlands is a charming community with many fine restaurants, theatre and shopping. Nice neighbors on the street.

    • We just spent the month of August at “The Bear Necessity” and enjoyed every minute. Cathy Adams has thought of everything. From the moment we walked in to the last day – everything was as it should be. During our visit we had several relatives visit and it was certainly nice to put them down stairs with their own kitchen – living room – TV and best of all, their own bath, and it is all done very tastefully. Highlands is a great place shop, hike, sit on the porch, or just do nothing. The restaurants are great, but better make reservations. Golf is available if you are a goat (not that bad), and great motorcycle riding. Hope we get to come back again next year.

    • Unfortunately, our week at "The Bear" has come to an end. This was our first VRBO rental and it was perfect! The cabin looks just as it does in the photos (wonderful) only it was so much better to enjoy it in person. When not hiking or in town, we spent most of our time on the fabulous porch eating, drinking, reading and just enjoying the COOL summer mountain air. I don't know who enjoyed it the most -- us or our two golden retrievers. The Adams are also wonderful hosts and provided great tips for fully enjoying the beautiful Highlands area. We will definitely be back to The Bear. Just wish it could be every weekend!

    • We have stayed at the Bear numerous times and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. It's a comfortable cottage type home with a great porch for relaxation. Close to town with great privicy. No disappointments here.
