Amazing view and hospitality

The cabin was beautiful and the view off of the back porch stunning!! Mr. Garcia went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and suggested some places to go and things to do!! Although we did not bring our children, I did notice they have plastic cups and plates for those who choose to bring kids which I thought was nice to have! We saw deer off the back balcony as well as on the drive up and down to the cabin. It is only about 15 minutes to downtown blue ridge and the same to Ellijay! We did not want to leave from this beautiful place!! We will definitely be back!!! :D Thank you so much again for a wonderful stay and beautiful home!!

Nice cabin

Nice cabin, comfortable, with most everything you need. Check-in was easy. Communication with owner was prompt and friendly. Location was good. Close to everything in the area. Lots of wildlife on the drive to and from the cabin. The roads in and out are rough. The biggest negative is that there is nothing to do at the cabin. Down an extremely narrow stairway, there are Pingpong and foosball tables downstairs in an area that is under repairs. If you open that backdoor down there, there is a narrow porch, but it's not a space to sit out or anything. There is no maintained yard area. The firepit is right in front of the cabin and that's it. To oneside there is a swing for kids, but it is not maintained. There is a hottub, we used it, but the chemicals were really strong (it bleached a bathingsuit from green to gray) so that was a one and done situation. You can't walk the property. We didn't spend much time at the cabin, which was somewhat disappointing.

Beds were comfortable, cooking was convenient, and clean up was easy. Eddie even ordered the best weather for our trip! The area has great hiking, delicious foods, and friendly residents.

The Perfect getaway

We enjoyed the hot tub and foosball with the kids. Made family dinners and cuddled close to watch movies together as a family. It’s a cute little cabin at the top of Cherry Log Mountain. We had tickets to the Holiday Train in Blue Ridge which was within minutes of our location. We’ll have to come back in the Fall to check out the scenery more and enjoy some hiking during a little warmer weather. Definitely would recommend this listing for anytime of year! Happy Holidays!

Blue Ridge Bear’s Lair

The cabin was very clean, comfortable and well located for all the things we wanted to do. The only thing that I would point out and it is certainly not the property owners fault is the road going up the mountain to the cabin is a little rugged, but still drivable. I would caution that Internet accessibility is limited and slow and is probably not an issue with the cabin as much with the area!

Cozy but Spacious

The cabin was cozy, but spacious and very clean. The view from the hot tub and large back patio has a great view of the mountains. There are cabins nearby, but still felt private. The drive to downtown was 15-20 minutes, but nice. Eddie, the host was very helpful and nice. I would rent this cabin again.

Our family (husband, myself and sons 20&17) had a delightful time at the Bear’s Lair Cabin. We had deer and turkey visit multiple times daily. My son spent hours taking pictures! The cabin was very clean and comfortable and the woodsy decor added to the charm! It was spacious enough that a couple of us were able to escape the snoring at night from a couple humans! It was so quiet and peaceful there (minus our snorers!) even though it’s not far from downtown Blue Ridge or Elijay. The owner texted a day or so after we arrived to make sure everything was ok. (He also texted when it was discovered we left our swim bag hanging on the hook after we left. They were kind enough to mail it to us!) We definitely plan to book the Bear’s Lair again on our next trip!

Exactly what we were hoping for!

This cabin was perfect for my adult daughter and I to enjoy a Blue Ridge Mountain adventure. The cabin is very clean and attractively decorated. We appreciated that there was a washer and dryer available to use. The view from the front porch is awesome and we saw a couple of deer right underneath us! There are many great attractions, cute shops and hiking trails nearby. We also took a day trip to Chattanooga, TN. Ed was very easy to reach and responsive if we needed anything. I am sure anyone would enjoy this cabin.

Quiet and Relaxing Getaway

The cottage was very clean and fresh, and we had no real problems. There were a couple of minor issues which the owner dealt with quickly; excellent communications with him. Nice view from the deck, hot tub was relaxing after a day of hiking, and rocking chairs were nice. The kitchen was adequate and had all the essential cookware and utensils. WIFI was very good and provided good coverage for our phones. As some others have commented, the road was a little rough (a 4-wheel drive is certainly not needed) but the curves had a washboard effect and the inside of the curves was particularly rough. After the first drive up, I learned to stay on the extreme outside or the curves (go slow and be alert for on-coming traffic) and that made the drive much easier. On the morning we left, they were scraping the road so I suspect the situation was much better after we left. Lots of good trails in the area (we went into the Aska area twice) and plenty of good restaurants in Blue Ridge. We particularly liked Ferraro's which is pricey but had exquisite food, and we liked Southern Charm. All-in-all, we would stay here again if we decide to go back to the Blue Ridge area.

Amazing Blue Mountain Experience

This cabin is everything one would want for a cabin. The view is stunning and the cabin has all that is needed. The property owner is available for all questions and is clear and helpful. The only scary part is the drive up. I suggest a 4x4. I had a van and made it up, but it was a scary climb. The cabin is at the highest point which is great for amazing views. It is centrally located to all waterfalls and wineries. We truly had an amazing mountain experience!

Wonderful getaway a short drive from Altanta

We were having a friends getaway and i am glad I chose this cabin as our rental. Its a short ride from the main street partly on gravel roads which is part of the fun of the drive. We were initially 4 folks that were scheduled to stay at the rental which increased to 6 and each time I let Ed know about the increase in occupants, he was really nice about it and did not charge when we added a 6th occupant. The views from the back of the cabin are wonderful. It would have been better had the trees not been covering the sunrise. There was a power issue one evening due to high winds and Ed was quick to respond with updates until the power came back on. Good location, good ambience, great host.

Great getaway!

Beautiful property! Perfect for a romantic getaway, very quiet and wonderful view!! And the wildlife is incredible- we spotted deer and bears from the cabin deck!! But we were especially pleased with the communication with the owner and the fact that he truly does not allow pets on the property. We have VERY bad allergies to animals and have found in the past with other properties that the "no pets allowed" rule is not strictly enforced, which caused many allergy attacks and even has forced us to leave in the middle of vacations. But that was not the case with this beautiful home. We were actually able to enjoy ourselves without any allergy attacks!! The home also did not smell of any synthetic fragrances which is another huge plus. It's as close to hypoallergenic as I've ever seen in a rental home!! We loved our stay here and will certainly be back very soon!!

Fair Review

The property was beautiful, host was friendly. A few minor inconveniences such as dishwasher heating element out so had to handwash dishes and fireplace not lighting, but nothing we found too bothersome. Please be aware that the host is watching check in, as we received a message of having too many individuals and had to pay over $250 extra for my stepsons who were able to make the trip at the last minute. We were cautioned not to lose the foosball table balls due to our small children, though we actually ended up finding extra under the couches to leave behind more than we found there. The house was hit by lightning but luckily no fire, though it did put the internet out. The host messaged multiple times for us to reset it so that the security cameras would work, but we were busy and I honestly preferred it not connected so that my older children wouldn't be on their electronics. My husband and I work for property managers and personally deal with vacation rentals, and we were surprised to have the host watching security camera footage during our stay and messaging us so often, as that is very different from how our property managers work. We use a common sense approach of a nightly rate and only charge additional fees if the home is left quite dirty or damaged. But again, this was just a different management style than we are used to compared to who we work for and other homes we rent for vacation. The host was friendly, the property was clean, just know what to expect.
