Creekfront/Hot Tub/Pool Table/Pet Friendly/Creek

Bear Creek Cabin is a magical forest cabin on Barnes Creek backing up to the Chattahoochee National Forest area and minutes away from the nation's best hiking and mountain biking trails. Enjoy this cozy of the coziest cabin with no detail left undone. Next to Barnes Creek with the sounds of water and nature with plenty of parking, fiber internet and flat grassy areas make this a unique experience for groups up to six people. Bring your pet and enjoy your stay at Bear Creek Cabin!

This cabin is tucked in a valley that is the ultimate, restful getaway. Pull up to the cabin at the garage and walk the deck walkway to the entrance by the hot tub area where you'll hear the sounds of rushing water. Upon entering the cabin you'll be greeted by the beautiful, cabin features and fully stocked kitchen to create the best cabin experience. You can get settled into the oversized first floor bedrooms with a king bed or a queen bed or go upstairs to get nestled into another king bedroom with a nook called the cubbie hole, perfect for pets or little ones to spread out and not be under foot. There are many fun things to do at this cabin from the hot tub, outdoor fire pit, picnic basket tools for a meal down by the creek to a wood burning fire place inside with SmartTVs in every bedroom, living room AND the game room. YouTube TV is provided on every TV for local channels as well as movies and TV show recordings. A pool table, board games and our favorite card games and dominoes. Your pet will be right at home with a pet bed, bowls, extra leash and pick up bags provided. There's a one time pet-fee of $100. There is plenty of storage for longer stays to get unpacked and put suitcases away. This cabin is tastefully decorated and updated to give you the luxury experience without the price tag.

Guests will have access to the entire 2,000+ sq. ft cabin as well as a two car garage. The cabin has keypad access for contactless check in and there are no steps from the driveway to the front door and no steps into the cabin's first floor living area. There is one security camera facing the walkway on the exterior, facing the driveway and does not face any interior spaces.

Upon booking you'll receive confirmation, access information and even a packing list for best items to bring with you when you arrive at Buddy's Bungalow. Jason and Erin Wilson are your hosts and are available for any questions you may have during your stay and are a phone call/text away.

Buddy's is not in an HOA community and does have a couple of neighboring properties that you can barely see through the trees. The creek flows from one cabin to the next and all are set back in a plush valley. Upon driving to the property you'll drive under hanging pine trees.

There is plenty of parking for up to seven vehicles. Boat trailers or vehicle trailers may be a bit challenging to turn around onsite and may be better left a a local marina.

Join us for many amazing local festivals, events, fantastic eating in downtown Ellijay or even venture a bit North to the Blue Ridge area for outdoor fun and adventure. Buddy's is very close to the nation's best hiking and mountain biking trails, the Pinhotti and Bear Creek. Buddy's has been a guest favorite for many years and not new to Airbnb. We hope that the updates and enhancements that our guests will enjoy this jewel for years to come. Only 11 miles from historical Fort Mountain State Park where swimming, hiking, and horseback riding all await you. You are 10 miles from downtown Ellijay where unique shopping and dining is located.

A Great Getaway Cabin In The Woods!
We absolutely loved this cabin! It was so cozy and relaxing with more than enough amenities for 2 people. The cabin was super clean and everything was as advertised. It was located only 10-15 minutes from Downtown Ellijay which has become one of our favorite little towns!

Perfect Getaway!
The cabin was warm and welcoming and we had a wonderful stay. The patio area with the fire pit and swing was our favorite place to sit in the morning and again in the evening. We were also thrilled to find hiking so close to the cabin. I highly recommend.

Nice family getaway
Great place tucked away but close enough to downtown Ellijay and anything else you need. Cabin is comfortable with a great kitchen to cook and hang out in. This place is perfect for a family but not optimal for an adult getaway as other cabins are close in proximity offering limited privacy. The pool table was unusable during our stay which was a bummer as it was one of the perks we loved about this place. Overall a great place to stay in Ellijay!

Family Wonderland
We wanted to get away from it all and enjoy some family time. Grocery shopped in town, made most of our meals from the cabin, and each day picked a nearby hike or just hung out on the property. Literally spent an entire day with the kids playing in the stream, backyard area, woods, and the hot tub. This cabin has everything you need to reconnect as a family!

Buddy 's Bungalow in Ellijay
Beautiful house. Perfect location. Nice and quiet, by a creek, loved it. Well, definitely go back. House was all that and plus more. Beautiful furnishings. Great patio. Warm hot tub, beautiful creek. With beautiful sound of running water. Highly recommend, except for the weekend we might wanted. Thank you so much Erin and Jason.

Perfect get-a-way
The cabin was nice and the patio was perfectly lovely and relaxing, especially mornings and evenings. The nearby creek was great for the kids. They love to catch crawdads! This was a nice place for entertaining family while stepping away from the hustle and bustle of everything.

Amazing!
Loved the property and house! Kids spent hours exploring and playing in the creek and woods. Everything was super clean and we could not have been more cozy! The cabin was even decorated for Christmas with stockings and a tree which was such a small detail but made the stay that much more enjoyable for my kids. The hosts answered my few questions almost immediately and were very helpful throughout. We had an amazing stay and would highly recommend!

Relaxing and enjoyable trip
We were looking to get away for a few days and enjoy nature and some peace and quiet from life. This cabin was perfect for that. I liked the seclusion, lthough yes, there are a couple of homes that are still pretty close, it was still very quiet and peaceful. The creek was one of my favorite parts, getting to listen to the water flowing all day. The firepit was perfect for day and night (in February) and the hot tub was nice to have as well. The house was clean and comfortable with a cozy cabin feel to it. It was a nice stay.

Quiet and convenient
It is a quiet stay and convenient to both Blue Ridge and Ellijay. There are other cabins rather close, like you can see each other from the porch. But it’s not bad. We were able to enjoy the creek and yard and outdoor amenities privately.

Cabin in the woods
We were looking for a nice cabin to enjoy our stay in Ellijay and found it! It was like camping in the woods only better! The kitchen was well stocked, cabin was nice and clean, plenty of space. It had a very warm cozy feel and we enjoyed our morning coffee on the screened in porch while listening to the roosters. Check in and out directions were very detailed and easy to follow. Just a short drive in to town and the apple orchards. Would highly recommend to any family going to the area.
