The Blissful Bear Cabin

EASY WINTER ACCESS!! Enjoy this cozy cabin with two master suites, a screened porch overlooking the tranquil sounds of rushing waters. Relax by the outside fireplace as nature surrounds you or sit by the creek side firepit as you roast marshmallows. Seasonal mountain views combined with rushing waters draws you outside as stress washes away. Inside, smell the coffee percolating at your own coffee bar or just spend the day wrapped in luxury bedding. Feeling adventurous, spend the day on the nearby lake fishing or kayaking or take a hike on the trail that runs right by the cabin. Twelve wineries nearby as well as many restaurants to satisfy your taste buds. Conveniently located halfway between Ellijay and Blue Ridge, you will have plenty to do. Sipping your favorite beverage with your friends or family by the fire immersed in the sounds of rushing waters may all you ever need. Easily accessible for any car or truck with paved roads.

To make your time at The Blissful Bear even more blissful and hassle free we provide delivery service. If you would like to have your groceries waiting for you when you arrive, or if you are celebrating a special event and would like a specific item to be waiting for you, or any special request, we have you covered!!

Absolutely perfect trip! The hosts provided everything needed and then some. The cabin was beautifully decorated, clean, cosy and comfortable and we will most definitely return and stay longer on our next trip. I'm torn between telling everyone I know about this perfect cabin because Im afraid it will be booked and unavailable making it difficult for my return. Thank you for making our trip perfect!

Where can I start!!! This place is spectacular!!! From the moment we walked in we were blown away!! The pictures do not do it justice!! The home was immaculate. The coffee bar was unreal!!! It had everything!! They left a gift for is to make smores and a bag of popcorn. The cabin has everything you need!! We ate breakfast every morning out on the covered screened in porch. At night we burned in the fireplace in the tree house. You can hear the creek in the back the whole time you are outside. This was the most peaceful place for rest and relaxation!! Oh, and the bed was like sleeping on a cloud!! We will never stay anywhere else in Ellijay but here from now on!! Will be back again soon!!

Well appointed and thoughtful items left in the pantry for communal/guest use which was super handy. Host answered all questions and concerns promptly. Coffee bar is clutch! Great trip reconnecting with my wife and created some great memories that will last a lifetime. Very relaxing and recharging trip. While there is no access from property to the creek the gurgling sound is quite soothing. We did not use the fire areas as it was just too warm, but hanging out in the 'tree house' was quite enjoyable. Excellent host and property and would definitely consider a return trip. Watch out for the bear!

The cabin is very very clean and stocked probably better than any we have ever stayed at. Both the treehouse porch area and large screen porch were great for cards, games, reading and visiting with our friends. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

The cabin was perfect, so beautiful, peaceful, and well-equipped. Loved and used all outdoor spaces. The gurgling stream below the property was so soothing. All lthe trees and foliage made it feel as if you were staying in a tree house. I enjoyed walking up and down the neighborhood hilly streets. We loved our stay.

Blissful peace in the woods

This cabin felt like home. The feeling you will get just rocking in the chairs or sitting outside listening to the creek and birds will immediately melt the stress away. The area is beautiful and well maintained. Would recommend 100%Basic essentials well stocked, coffee bar, games and room to relax just a few unexpected bonuses.

This cabin is absolutely beautiful with every amenity you can imagine plus more. The sound of the rushing stream at the foot of the hill by the firepit was so relaxing and having our morning coffee in the treehouse was too. I wish it was colder so we could have had a fire out there. We plan to return next year. Many thanks to our host for such a relaxing vacation.

Wonderful stay!

Cabin was clean with extra touches of hospitality and easy communication with host. We weren't able to enjoy the tree house much due to recent pollen season and lights were not working in that area during the evening, but nonetheless we had a great stay and would consider another stay in the future!

The Blissful Bear is full of modernized log cabin charm and provided the peaceful calm we were seeking. The treehouse fireplace and the screened in porch were perfect for enjoying the soothing sounds of the rushing creek, the variety of birds, and a rainstorm.

Blissful Bear Blissful Honeymoon

As very active, well traveled 60 year olds wanting to "check out" and relax, this was so perfect! Coffee on the screened in porch and by the fireside in the tree house throughout the day was perfect. The soothing sounds of the creek and easy hike from the property to the lake were fun. Walking in the sparsely populated neighborhood yielded beautiful woods and some mountain views. Lots of nearby towns to explore - including the Big Food museum for bragging rights to grand kids. We hope to go back! (Linens, towels, kitchen, etc. were nice.)

Wonderful little getaway!

We travel to the Blueridge area at least once a year, each time staying in a different cabin. I must say, this has been by far our favorite cabin. The property it self was beautiful, nestled in the trees with the sound of the water rushing in the creek below. The cabin was very cozy with everything you need and then some. The coffee bar was a nice surprise, and the gift bag with smore ingredients was yummy. I can't say enough about the treehouse fireplace area, we drank coffee there in the morning and sipped wine there at night. The cabin is located very close to historic downtown area of Ellijay where we ate delicious food, our favorite restaurant was The Roof. We also visited Roos Winery, which I would also highly recommend. Thank you to the owners for sharing your beautiful cabin and making our little getaway very special.
