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.

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.

Snowed in!

It snowed…in Ga…the weekend we stayed. But it was perfect!! The owner himself was in constant contact with us to make sure we felt safe and was genuinely concerned about our safety above everything else. This place was absolutely perfect! The cabin is gorgeous, very well maintained, very clean, and I can’t recommend it enough! We will definitely be back!!

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.

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!

The Blissful Bear is….blissful!

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!

Great place to stay!!

This cabin has everything you need!! Just pack your clothes & some food & you will be set. This cabin is perfect for 2 couples. We spent most of our time out at the treehouse. The owner was very nice and very easy to deal with. I can’t wait to plan our next trip.

Very relaxing

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.

Thank you so much for sharing your home. I felt like a pampered guest in a clean comfortable home. It was exactly as pictured, but pictures can’t quite capture the extra little touches and the peacefulness of the surroundings.

Its always great to stay at a property where the owner goes above and beyond to make it worth your while. We use VRBO a lot for travel baseball and this is one of our favorites! The bed were very comfortable and the owner was very friendly. 10/10 and will go back if we have the opportunity!

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!

Best Cabin

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.
