Great property at the top of the mountain. Landscape was beautiful. House has everything and more. Kitchen was great to cook in. It had everything that you needed and then some. Very spacious. Loved our stay.
This is a beautiful home and a great location. We so enjoyed the hot tub with a gorgeous view of the mountains. At night we were in awe of the moon. So clear from the deck and the hot tub. The kitchen was so spacious and easy to prepare our meals. If you are looking for a great place to relax and get away this is the house for you. Don’t hesitate book today!!
This property is centrally located to a variety of things to do. The cabin itself is cozy and inviting. The grade is very steep to and from, so snow or ice could present a problem. The two fireplaces have gas logs which is extremely nice and convenient. The newly renovated kitchen is a plus. The furniture is comfortable and the towels are plush. The owner was responsive and great to work with.
Extremely pleased with our choice of a Memorial Day cabin in the N. GA mountains! Very clean and spacious, the owner was attentive and took an interest in our stay being perfect...I would definitely recommend this cabin!
Such a nice property! The newly renovated kitchen was gorgeous and fully stocked for everything you might need of cooking in! Would book again for sure!
Amazing cabin just as listed!! Property is great and Ray is excellent!! We had a blast at Hiawassee Brewery and Hightower vineyards, just about 5-10 mins from cabin. Highly recommend!!
this was a beautiful cabin with plenty of room, great view,
this was a great find for us, we had a very relaxing time, great communication with property manager, minutes from Helen, only issue we had is the intense incline of driveway, would suggest all wheel or four wheel drive in the winter months.

Bear Ridge
We loved staying at Bear Ridge, January 2015. It's the perfect place to get away from it all. We hope to come back during spring or fall to tour some of the nearby wineries and do a hike on a nearby trail.
We stayed for a family trip for 3 nights. Clean, beautiful home in a stunning location. Very quiet and peaceful. Amazing amneties giving a feeling of home. No issues whatsoever. We would definitely return again.
We enjoyed staying here! The home is as advertised and has great mountain views. The owner, Ray, answered our call immediately and was super helpful when we couldn’t find the house initially. Pay attention to the emailed directions before you arrive since there is no cell service in the immediate area until you arrive and connect to the home Wi-Fi.
This was my parents first time ever in the a mountain area or staying in a home like this. They're 73 and loved every minute. My dad with two replaced knees hiked a 1 mile round trip hike one day and almost 2 days another. He's still not used to the steep roads to the house lol but he made it through it. Great place to stay, great views, even met the neighbor who was extremely nice! Also, the owner was very quick to respond to the couple questions i had!
We loved the cabin. It is difficult to get to, and the wifi is non-existent. Only one of us could hop on at a time, and that was spotty at best. Lots of room and the views are amazing. We all loved it.
This was our 3rd visit to this area. All our rental cabins were nice but this cabin was exceptional. Three floors with a bedroom on each floor. Perfect for our 4 adults. The
Porch on the front faced beautiful Mountain View’s and a porch swing!
There is a steep climb to the cabin but the view is worth it. Many great memories were made at the cabin and State Parks.
We had a great time exploring North Georgia with this cabin as our base camp. I have made camping and offroading trips to North Georgia for years, but decided to stay in a cabin this trip. We hiked to several nearby waterfalls, did some offroading, visited Brasstown Bald(highest point in Georgia) and toured a winery and distillery. There are also many hidden gem restaurants in nearby towns. The property offers excellent views and was very comfortable. The best of it is watching the sun set beyond the distant mountain tops from the hot tub.
We had a nice stay Father’s Day weekend. Weather was great! We rented a boat at the nearby lake and that was my family’s favorite activity. The house had everything we needed , my kids enjoyed the pool table and hot tub. I enjoyed drinking coffee on the porch and the sunsets over the mountains in the evening. Google maps does not pull up the address and there is no cell service at the property, so we did need to use the instructions provided by the owner which brought us there just fine. I would not advise driving at night and the roads are very steep. Overall wonderful trip , we will be back :)
We will be back! Our family fit perfect, the house was very spacious. We did not feel on top of eachother. The house had everything we needed. The view was breathtaking! The drive up gave me butterflies in my stomach, but I'm very afraid of heights lol. The property was very very clean. The property manager and owner were very helpful and extremely friendly. We wanted to do something for them and this perfect house. We decided to revive there guest book! We got them a new one and put all their guest reviews in it!

Cabin that is Perfect for Relaxation
My family, and I had a perfect getaway at Bear Ridge. The kitchen has just been remodeled with granite countertops, all new upper end appliances, and a beautiful farmhouse copper sink. The perfect place to prepare all your meals especially combined with the butane gas grill. The cabin is located in a very peaceful location at the very end of the driveway which offers magnificent views. The driveway is steep but very easy to navigate. The cabin offers plenty of room to spread out for families offering several sitting areas and two gas fireplaces. The beds were very comfortable, and I was quite impressed by the amount of linens and towels that were provided.
Ray was easy to work with, and was always quick to communicate. It was truly a pleasure to to stay at Bear Ridge.

Quiet
We just stayed here and we had two teenage boys along for the trip. We had a great time. We all enjoyed the pool table and hot tub. IT was very quiet. The cabin is spacious enough that we all had our own room and met in the kitchen for meals or at the pool table for a game of pool. Being from the area originally, it is hard to say what I recommend for people to do. We enjoyed Bald Mountain, Anna Ruby, Helen, Vogel, and the Wishing Well in Hiawassee. I go every time I am in the area. I love my concrete bears and that is the only place to find them. I would recommend staying here if you have teenagers, or a group, if you love peace and quite. The drive is quite steep if you are in a car.
