This is an amazing cabin with every possible detail covered. They really put so much thought in all the little things to make it a magical stay. We’ll definitely be back in the future!
Awesome stay. Host was so responsive to every message, making everything very seamless from check in to check out. Cabin is awesome and the property is very beautiful! Can’t wait to go back!
Great cabin! Beautifuly decorated. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is well appointed with everything you need. The beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed having coffee in the tree house in the morning listening to the creek.
This was my second visit to this cabin and it was just as perfect as the first time. I'm already to plan my third trip! Came fully stocked with everything you might need and then some. Just had a short trip and wished I had booked a longer one. It was hard to leave.
This is such a great little cabin that is well cared for by the owners. We appreciated all of the little details. The coffee bar was a nice touch. The treehouse is just an amazing place to relax to the sounds of the river below.

The cabin was very clean and we enjoyed all the personal touches. The landscape was beautiful.
Super cute and very comfortable cabin! I would buy the mattress that was in the king room, it was that comfortable. Had everything we needed to make meals. The road to the cabin was paved and easy to access. Close enough to Ellijay but far enough to feel out in the mountains. The pups enjoyed their time as well. We took walks around the neighborhood and got a good workout. Would stay again!
Our favorite cabin! We loved the outdoor treehouse, the stream , the trail to the lake, the cabin amenities, the cabin decor, and the correspondence with the owner. It was close to terrific hiking trails.
What a treasure! I am so happy we found this rental. The Blissful Bear cabin is the most relaxing and peaceful place I’ve ever stayed. The treehouse and fire pit with the creek in the background is absolutely wonderful. The hosts go above and beyond to make your stay special with lots of extras. Comfort is everywhere -inside and out- and the decor is exceptional. If you’re looking to make memories, you will not go wrong here.
We stayed at this cabin for a long weekend. We have been coming to Ellijay/Blueridge since 2008 and this is one of the nicest cabins we have stayed at. The gift bag with smores ingredients and the pad and pen were a very nice touch. The cabin was very clean, and had everything we needed. The coffee bar was a really nice touch. You can tell that the owner really put a lot of effort into the personal touches in the cabin. The bed was so comfortable! It was one of the best beds we have had in a VRBO. The cabin feels very secluded, so that is nice. The check-in process was super easy. Ed provided all the needed information to make it go very smoothly. Ed was also very quick to respond if we had a question during the trip and was always very nice. It was a wonderful stay and we are planning on staying here again next year. Thanks Ed!
What a relaxing retreat for a girls weekend! The cabin was clean, the beds incredibly comfortable, and the bear decor was cute without being “over done”! We enjoyed a fire with our morning coffee in the treehouse and were amazed at how relaxing it was with the sound of the stream below! Centrally located to everything! We especially loved the proximity to several amazing wineries! Hope to be back!
Blissful bear cabin was amazing… beautiful view , large screen porch and tree house area made our trip extra special. You could hear the water in the creek as it flowed by. All the little personal details and extras at this rental made it my favorite spot. All the amenities of home. Coffee bar was wonderful . Will definitely be back !!
Enjoyed the cabin very much in spite of rain every day. It was beautifully decorated and well stocked with a great coffee bar. Looking forward to a return trip when we can enjoy the tree house and other outdoor beauty.
Outside treehouse fireplace is amazing. Owner provides plenty of firewood and thoughtfully decorated for the Christmas holiday. So many thoughtful touches made the experience very special. Excellent attention to details that made the stay exceptional

About the host
Hosted by Edward D Crews
It has been our dream after our first visit to the area many years ago to be a part of this community. We were blessed with the opportunity to join the community and have loved every single minute of it. There is so much to do or just rest and relax. We couldn't have asked for a better location or community to be a part of.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the sound of the water the second we step onto the property. The outdoor living areas will draw you outside.
