GREAT TIME!!

We had a great time. The property matched the online photos and description perfectly. We really enjoyed the stay and the people in the surrounding communities. It was a short drive to lots on fun things to do. The lake was absolutely amazing. The cove made it calm and great to kayak and paddle board in.

Relaxing and just right

Our family stayed for the week. It was quiet and we enjoyed the kayaks, ping pong table and the fact that everything was provided. Our dog enjoyed her stay too. Would love to come back, so much house for a family to enjoy.

Lake Blue Ridge was a great place for a weekend trip in the fall. Enjoyed outdoor fireplace on crispy nights. Lake was down quite a bit, but not much we can do about that.

Made Memories on the Lake

We all enjoyed ourselves at Blue Bear's Cabin! The house and property are beautiful, and the owner was responsive to all questions. The kids loved jumping off the dock into the lake! Highly recommend this cabin. There was plenty of room for our party of six adults and three kids!

Quick getaway

We wanted a last minute, family trip and Lake Blue Ridge proved to be the perfect spot! Even in the winter, it is beautiful and so restful. The house was perfect for teens to have a spot to hangout and for families to gather by the fire for game night. Hiking trails are close by and for the forgotten items, Food Lion is a quick 15 minute drive. Being so close to Atlanta is an added bonus! We would love to go back!

Paradise

This house was great for our 3 generation family trip. Having bedrooms & bathrooms on all 3 levels is very convenient. We got groceries from the Food Lion (15-20 min drive) on day 1, and were able to cook all meals with the cookware provided. Communication with Property Owner was prompt, check-in and out was a breeze, and the cabin was clean. We took a day trip to Amicalola Falls, and spent the rest of our days enjoying the lake, swimming, fishing, and kayaking... it truly was a great experience.

70th Birthday Celebration

My family, siblings and spouses and one son and spouse joined us for a ten day getaway at the cabin on Blue Ridge Lake. The cabin was nicely decorated, and well appointed. There were plenty of towels and the kitchen was well equipped. We all like to cook and it was very comfortable to do so. It rained nonstop for the first two days that we were there but the windows were so big that we didn’t mind being inside, we played games and made puzzles together., and of course cooked! The rest of the trip was excellent weather, we hiked 25 miles of the Appalachian trail and visited several waterfalls. Because of COVID we did not go to many of the little towns in the area, we did spend a little time in Ellijay antiquing. All in all a great trip, we all said we would do this trip again.

Not great, not terrible

The main things that we were not happy about: 1.) Was not clean, floor was dirty, counters and table top was dirty, someone’s Qtips and soap wrapper was in the up stairs bathroom, there were spider webs everywhere. Tons outside, several inside. 2.) Dryer did not work. Very disappointing. Luckily we were only there for 3 full days. 3.) The TV downstairs did not work. We even bought batteries for the remote thinking that may be the problem but nope. And it was college football opening weekend. 4.) The paper towels that were there when we got there were almost gone. Seems petty but every place we have ever stayed had a full roll of paper towels when we arrived. 5.) No outdoor furniture was out on any of the outdoor decks/entertaining areas. In my opinion it should be out, we should not have to get it out. 6.) Decor (furniture, appliances, Knick knacks all was very out dated. The petty things probably would have been overlooked if not for the pretty major things. Things we were happy about: 1.) the location. 2.) the cabin was beautiful built. 3.) the location 4.) the number of rooms. 5.) the location.
