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!!


Please max the number of pets to two beginning with reservations after 1-2-2022.

Perfect weekend getaway
The Blissful Bear is the perfect place to stay whether youre looking for a weekend getaway or longer. Perfectly situated between Elijay and Blue Ridge there is always something to explore. My wife and I loved the s'mores welcome gift, the fall decor, and quiet sounds of the creek. Hiking was easy to get to because the cabin was located right off the main roads. We also enjoyed a paved, easy access to the cabin. We will definitely be back soon!

We loved our stay at the Blissful Bear! The kitchen was stocked with anything you could hope for and the coffee bar was next level! The treehouse porch was our kids favorite thing. Communication with Ed was a snap. We lost internet for a couple hours due to storms, but Ed quickly helped walk us through resetting the modem and all was good again.

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.

The Blissful Bear is all you could ever imagine for peace and tranquility. It truly gives you every opportunity to unplug and forget anything exist outside of that property. It’s always spotless, has everything you could need, and gives a little extra. The treehouse is my favorite place on this planet. Have and will continue to recommend to everyone!

Perfection
We loved our four night stay at the Blissful Bear. We travelled with my 5 year old, dog, and in-laws. I’ve never stayed at a more well appointed Vrbo. Every detail was thought of—from the welcome s’mores kit, to fully stocked coffee bar, to the basket of walking sticks on the front porch. Just stop at the grocery store on your way in and you will find everything you need to fully unwind. Spices and dishes are well stocked. We really felt like we were in someone’s home; in a good way! Such thoughtful attention to detail was given in every decision. Comfy furniture and beds. The treehouse is the star of the show. We used it everyday and loved making a fire for my son to make s’mores. There’s also a fire pit closer to the creek we used too. The back porch is fully screened-even under the floorboards so no bugs to worry about! My son and I made a game of counting all the bear statuettes placed around the cabin. I don’t think we found them all! There are great hiking trails a short drive away. Make sure you have a car that can go on rough roads if you want to get to many of the trails. Ellijay has lots to offer too. Lots of cute shops and restaurants. My 5 year old’s only small disappointment was there isn’t direct access to the creek from behind the cabin, though it does run directly behind the cabin. There is a trail to follow a couple hundred yards along the creek before we could access it. We found many other creeks on our hikes to splash in. We can’t wait to come back!

Blissful Stay *****
If you are looking for a serene sanctuary to unwind - the Blissful Bear has it all! The cabin is situated on a beautiful, wooded plot overlooking a running creek. The sounds of water, birds and scenery are magnificent. The communication was flawless - timely and on point, and like many guests already mentioned - no detail was overlooked to make you feel welcome and comfortable. We had an incredible stay, and we appreciated every thought that went into creating this experience and delivering an exceptional hospitality. :)

I can’t say enough about this property. Everything for your comfort was well thought out. I can’t think of anything we needed that wasn’t there. So many special little touches. The treehouse was our favorite place. Beautiful hike along the creek to the lake right from your back door. You can’t go wrong with this cabin!

Total relaxation
This was the perfect north Georgia cabin for a reset vacation. Peace and quiet, a babbling creek, never heard any other cars or people. Everything you need for cooking is included in the kitchen. We were surprised by how much was in the spice cabinet. The coffee bar was amazing! The only thing we wished was there was a big bathtub for a relaxing soak. Highly recommended by these world travelers!

We loved our stay at the Blissful Bear cabin. This cabin was cozy and had lovely touches throughout. From the coffee bar to the tree house area and welcome bag with s'more fixings. We enjoyed evening walks to the lake with our dogs on the trail in the back of the cabin. The host was responsive and made check-in and check-out a breeze. Have already recommended this place to friends and hope to visit again soon.

Come for the location, stay for the peace
This property exceeded our expectations. From the extremely well stocked kitchen to the extra touches throughout the house. You genuinely only need to bring the food you want to eat and your clothes. Oh, you’ll need a toothbrush and tooth paste but everything else was there. Even down to the shampoo, condo and body wash in each bathroom. The outdoor fireplace was where we ended every evening while listening to the rushing waters in the creek. You only have two other cabins near by but you wouldn’t even know in the spring time when all the trees are filled out with leaves. What a great experience and an even better place to stay! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to a couples retreat!

This was by far one of the best properties I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. These hosts really thought of it all. From the wonderful aroma and cleanliness of the cabin to the stocked firewood and smores fixins. We didn’t have any reason to leave once we arrived! The peaceful sound of the creek flowing and the view from the porch and tree house make a great setting to just sit back and relax and forget about the daily grind of everyday life. We talked about making this an annual trip and if we do we will definitely be booking here again!

The pictures online do not do this cabin ans property justice. The home is so well stocked and ready for a family. From the smores kit to family Jenga and Cornhole you couldn't go wrong just hanging out at the fireplace in the treehouse, enjoying the sound of the stream and wind in the leaves. The fully stocked coffee bar was the best surprise. Absolutely a perfect place for our family of 4. We will return.
