Beautiful home

We stayed here with friends and family for our fall break! Excellent location with all the amenities! Home is clean and beds are super comfy! Excellent water pressure in the showers! Hot tub was clean, fish pond was fully stocked and my son caught 50 fish (catch and release) in 3 days. Managing owners live on property and are friendly and accommodating.

Christmas Trip

Our group (17 total) stayed there during Christmas week. The cabin had everything we needed and it was exactly like the pictures. We used the fire pit for smores and the hot tub. The owner was very nice and helpful. He gave us a tour and explained everything during check in. Check out was easy. The property is secluded, which we loved because it was quiet. We loved it and would definitely return.

Bear Ridge Lodge

Our family of nine had an amazing time at Bear Ridge Lodge. Randy and Becky were welcoming and accommodating in every way. Our kids and grandkids loved walking the goats wirh Randy as well as being with the ducks and chickens. They also enjoyed the paddle boat and kayak. The king size beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We also had an unlimited supply of firewood for the wonderful fireplace which was especially appreciated by Nana.

Great getaway with friends and family

We had a wonderful time at the cabin! Randy and Becky were amazing hosts, always asking if there was anything else we needed or what they can do to make it more enjoyable. We wanted a place with beautiful views and a cozy atmosphere to enjoy time with friends and family and this property was exactly that. The property even exceeded our expectations. Would definitely recommend this location. The goats were a hit!

Girls Trip 2024

We had a wonderful time. The home is beautiful and Randy & Becky are great hosts. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub and some enjoyed kayaking and the peddle boat. We held the newborn baby goats and petted Wilbur the pig. Little Molly and Cooper are so cute. The scenery is so relaxing and we got an exciting tour of the property!

One of a kind

Our large extended family fit very comfortably in the home. The home was stocked with everything we could possibly need or use. We enjoyed the outdoor activities including fishing, kayaking, and watching the hummingbirds from the back porch. The animals are a huge hit, the kids look forward to the daily walks with the goats. 10/10 would recommend this property and owners!

Great Stay at Bear Ridge

What an amazing property. This home is huge, the living areas and kitchen were amazing. We loved all the space. Easily fit the 13 of us. Bedrooms we’re comfortable. We enjoyed the pool table and the large table downstairs to play games on. The fishing and lake added to the fun. One of the highlights was Charlie the baby goat. Overall the home is well cared for. The drive in is a little rough and has some steep parts but that is to be expected in a mountain cabin. Plenty of parking area.

Exceptional stay at Bear Ridge Lodge

Our family had a great time staying at Randy and Becky’s lodge. They were great and responsive to anything we needed. They allowed our kids to feed the goats, ducks, chickens, and rabbits. Our kids, especially my older son, learned a lot when we stayed at the lodge on New Years Day. I wanted to respond to another review regarding the road to the lodge, it was one lane (gravel, dirt, paved), but there were not many homes on the road and we never met another vehicle coming or going from the property. The view of the lake and falls from the lodge were absolutely beautiful. Love staying here and hated that we had to leave. We hope to stay here again and would definitely recommend.

Post and Beam Log Home in the Georgia Mountains

This big gorgeous home is at the end of a mountain trail and boasts large spacious bedrooms, a huge, well-appointed kitchen, a wraparound porch, and terrific temperature control. It truly is as beautiful as the images portray. We hosted a family reunion for 25 people across two properties (only 15 folks stayed at the lodge). The home had lots of space for small groups to reconnect. We got plenty of laughs from the rocky, single lane approach road to the house, but most of us had rented SUVs so everyone enjoyed the adventure! We also brought all the food we needed and didn't plan for anyone to head out and grab meals. Truly--it was a lovely space.

Don't hesistate...Just book it now!

Every year my family tries to plan and take one vacation to include all of us. It's myself, my wife, my six children (including one son-in-law), and 2 grandchildren so planning starts early as we all have work schedules to coordinate (except the grandchildren of course). And the venue we select has to give us options. While we are family, we are all a little different. Well Randy and Becky's wonderful property was perfect! I could have stayed on the property the entire trip...just fishing in the stocked pond, enjoying the wildlife, and the incredible views! But there is so much to do in the area, Amicalola Falls State Park was awesome, the Big Foot museum was neat, the gold mine tour was incredible, and downtown Dahlonega was just delightful. The house was more than enough space for 10, and was just beautiful. We also played a couple of disc golf courses in the area that were somewhat challenging but alot of fun. This is a great place to stay, so don't think about it anymore. Just book it. I 'll be back....I'm not sure when yet, but hopefully soon. Thank you Randy and Becky, and say hey to Wibur for me.

Goats, Ducks, Bears, Chickens, a Pig, and Randy and Becky

We rent a house to vacation in each summer for our family which is currently 8 kids and 8 adults ages 8 to 69. In the last 30 years we've stayed in many houses in many parts of the country and Bear Ridge Lodge is the most idyllic. You truly can't beat the view. The kids loved the lake; even the teenagers were happy. Since there aren't any neighbors the kids could yell and scream as loud as they wanted while swimming, boating, and fishing. The animals were a huge hit. The kids wanted to be at the house each day when it was time to walk the goats and the pig, who was a new addition. We were pleased to find that there was plenty to do in the area. The house itself is beautiful and set up well for a large group. There are plenty of places to sleep, plenty of bathrooms, and the living area is a great layout for cooking, eating, playing games, and watching movies with cousins. Last and certainly not least, Randy and Becky are excellent hosts. We wanted for nothing, they went out of their way to make us feel at home, and are more than happy to share their property, home, and animals with their guests. We left vacation with 2 new friends. A highlight was the last night we were there Randy came and got us and pointed out a bear feeding across the lake on a plum tree. I have more great things to say, but I keep exceeding VRBO's character limit so I went back and deleted stuff so that I could tell you to just go ahead and book a stay here.
