This is an absolutely gorgeous house and location. It would be very hard to beat this in all of N. Georgia. The house was clean and well equipped. The owners were extremely quick to provide anything we needed and saved us a drive to the store when we forgot a food item.

Christmas Trip

Our group (17 total) stayed there during Christmas week. The cabin had everything we needed and it was exactly like the pictures. We used the fire pit for smores and the hot tub. The owner was very nice and helpful. He gave us a tour and explained everything during check in. Check out was easy. The property is secluded, which we loved because it was quiet. We loved it and would definitely return.

Bear Ridge Lodge

Our family of nine had an amazing time at Bear Ridge Lodge. Randy and Becky were welcoming and accommodating in every way. Our kids and grandkids loved walking the goats wirh Randy as well as being with the ducks and chickens. They also enjoyed the paddle boat and kayak. The king size beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We also had an unlimited supply of firewood for the wonderful fireplace which was especially appreciated by Nana.

Randy & Becky’s property and grounds are absolutely gorgeous. The grounds are well manicured and the house has every convenience you could possibly imagine. This is by far the best home you’ll find in this area for a large group.
