About this property

WHAT A VIEW from the HOT TUB! Ping-pong & Pac-Man game room!

Long-range mountain views are included with this inviting, renovated 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bathroom romantic 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. The basement game room has a Ping-pong table, a Foosball table, and a Pac-Man/Galaga arcade! Recent renovation including new granite counters in the kitchen & bathrooms, a new half bathroom in the basement, 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 have owned this cabin since 2005 and it is still our favorite escape! We want you to experience the enchantment and adventure that the cabin and the surrounding 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, a rocking chair and beautiful mountain views! The large family room has a gas-log fireplace, a 55 inch Roku smart TV, 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 main floor master bedroom has a comfortable king size pillow top mattress and the main floor guest bedroom has a comfy queen size pillow top mattress. The master bedroom has a private full bathroom with a shower/tub combo and another flat screen smart TV. The main floor 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 finished portion of 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 game room 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!

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 9, 2026
The AC works fine. They left the back door open completely when it was 90° outside. I called him because Google Nest let me know something was wrong. Once they closed the door the cabin cooled within 2 hours. We rinse off the back deck at each check out but the cabin is in the woods. On the second day as I always do, I texted him to see how everything was going. He replied they were having a relaxing wonderful time. I have the text. No mention of any issues whatsoever. Please see our other reviews.

I found a little slice of Heaven high upon the mountain top!The Bear's Lair is a beautifully decorated, spotless cabin that brings you joy the moment you enter it.As you walk through each room, you can see the level of pride that Eddie has put into decorating each and every room so you feel as though you are not in a "rental" so much as truly being " home". Bravo Eddie!Then you open the door to the deck and you are absolutely in AWE of the STUNNING mountain views. Seriously, the pictures do not do it justice! There is plenty of seating out on deck, including swing and rocking chair. We spent most of our time on the deck in the hot tub, which was so relaxing and offered awesome mountain views.This trip was a surprise weekend for my husband's birthday. It was just two of us but the cabin is very spacious and would be comfortable for family with children or two families. The gameroom is fun and we enjoyed the nostalgia of the Pac-Man machine!Eddie gave us some suggestions for restaurants, which didn't disappoint.( sticky ribs were awesome! Thanks for the tip!)All-in-all a perfect weekend! A perfect cabin! My only complaint is I had to leave this little slice of Heaven.The only thing I imagine that may be better is being there for fall foliage!( yeah, we'll be back! )

We had a great time at the cabin, we were too busy to get into the hot tub sadly. The steps to the basement level were too steep for 70 plus ladies to go down but found the upstairs to be adequate. Loved love, love sitting on the back porch, enjoying the view.

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.
