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!

Incredible Getaway
Our stay at The Blissful Bear was one of the Top 5 vacation experiences we have ever had. The cabin was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and our stay was filled with great memories. Edward and his wife have truly provided a beautiful “Home Away From Home” for someone looking for a peaceful oasis in the North Georgia mountains.

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!

My husband and I enjoyed staying in your beautiful home in North Georgia very much! It was relaxing and peaceful. The weather turned cool during our stay, and we enjoyed those nightly fires in the fireplace! Leaves are changing, everyday more color showed. I didn’t know leaf peeping was so much fun! Loved Engelheim Vineyard, and the Cajun Depot Grill was our fave! Thanks for sharing your little bit of Heaven in the mountains with us. We will be back!

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.

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. :)

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.
