Rented the Bear Feet Cabin in Ellijay for family vacation and had a wonderful time. The house was everything we needed. The host was easy to work with and handled any issues we had quickly. Look forward to coming back.
We had a nice stay at Bear Feet Retreat!There was plenty of room for all of us (5 kids ages 10-17, and 6 adults). The hot tub was perfect. We had a couple of small issues, but we had very quick responses from the property manager. I would recommend this property!
This is a perfect location for a family. We had three generations together for a week, and we couldn't have asked for a more desirable setting. Everyone enjoyed their time here. We had plenty of space for each family to have private space and there was plenty of space for us to be together for meals, bonfires with smores, space to throw the football, and be close enough to go boating, whitewater rafting, ziplining, etc. It was perfect for our family of 10.
Nice place but not as clean or maintained as expected
When we arrived, we found the cabin not as clean or maintained expected it to be. The owner did respond to our text and offered to send cleaner back but we were trying to settle in and unpack so we declined. Great space for groups but property needs to be maintained better. Owner refunded less than 10% of our rental fee for the issues.
