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!!

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.

Beautiful and Relaxing

The Blissful Bear cabin was in a great location near Blue Ridge and a host of small towns with great dining, national parks with hiking, creeks and wildlife. We enjoyed the outdoor fireplace every single day and the ability to sit outside and watch the creek flow by. The cabin inside was comfortable, well stocked, and had nearly everything we needed. Our hosts were very communicative and helpful during my first VRBO rental. We typically do not repeat trips so that we can explore new areas, but we will 100% stay at The Blissful Bear cabin again.

Exceeded Expectations!!

Where do I start?! Our Host, Ed was top notch and very pleasant to deal with. Very helpful with suggestions and information on the area/very quick to respond. The cabin was immaculate, a special touch in every spot. Perfectly decorated for Christmas, inside and out. Just what we were looking for my Husband and I, Daughter and Son-in-Law with our 2 year old Grandbaby. It was cozy and perfect open floor plan, as we loved cooking and enjoying each other without all being crunched in kitchen. The bedrooms being on each side of cabin with living room in center gave us just the right amount of privacy. The Tree House with fireplace and couches is priceless, as you can cozy up in front of the fireplace in a throw blanket (which the cabin had many) while listening to the flowing creek below. Enjoyed morning coffee on the swing bench overlooking the beautiful back yard. The fire Pit next to the creek was a plus as well. Oh, and the Coffee Bar was a treat! I could go on and on...The only down side is it would be nice to have king beds in both rooms. My Husband and I are firm mattress sleepers and the smaller room had a mattress topper that was way too soft and had a worn spot on one side that made you feel like you were in a hole which made my neck and his back act up. We realized the night before we left, that it wasn't connected to mattress and all we had to do was take it off and it was fine. Would highly recommend this perfect little cabin nestled in nice neighborhood, loved it!

Wonderland

We were so totally impressed with Blissful Bear. Easy to get to but nicely secluded. The amenities provided by the host are the best I’ve seen anywhere, from bathroom supplies and products to kitchen cooking supplies, a super impressive coffee bar with so many choices, a thoughtful bag of s’mores ingredients, and firewood! Bedding is very comfortable. The treehouse with a beautiful fire place is a favorite day or night. The totally screened in deck is great for morning coffee with beautiful treed landscape and the ever present sound of the babbling brook! Then there is the fire pit so nicely constructed on a platform. Never got to the hammock, but there’s another choice for some R and R. The fall decorations throughout are a nice touch, more evidence of the thoughtful host(s) who, by the way, were so readily responsive to any question we had. Can’t say enough about this wonderful getaway, except that we have already scheduled our trip back for next year, and for a longer time! Thank you for exceeding our already high expectations!

A Gem for sure!

My wife and i booked this cabin simply because of the look/feel of the property. We spent most of our days searching and visiting many properties in GA and NC. When at the cabin, we spent a lot of time in the Gazebo. What a great assist to the property this is. Wherever i decide to call home i will have something similar for sure! Only warning to future guests is parking. There is room for parking but is difficult with a full size crew cab Silverado. Would stay again for sure.
