MOST AMAZING Sunrises! 2 Lux kgs , 2 ba. real log cabin! WIFI, cable, NETFLIX !



Apple Bear Ridge is a luxury log cabin in the highly sought after Lake Buckhorn Community, with everything you need to have a special weekend away or bring friends for festivals and leaf viewing. Either way you will be blown away with the morning sun rises over Rich Mountain Wilderness Area, and did we mention the amazing orange harvest moons in the Fall!!

Apple Bear is now equipped with a whole house generator, so you never have to worry about a power outage from a storm.

NOTE: We do not photoshop our photos as some other companies do. What you see is exactly as is!

So why choose Apple Bear Ridge?

At BCR you are a real person, not an " unknown" or just a credit card number punching a key pad on a door.

Hospitality and guest service are our cornerstone! None of these one hour quick cleaning services with BCR. Carolyn makes sure your cabin is immaculately clean !

After booking, property manager, Jim Ferguson, will be in touch with you personally to give you all the info you need to locate and access your

The moment you walk into your cabin, you will love those special touches, the importance of immaculate cleaning and the welcoming hospitality treat left for your party. NOTE: Pet friendly does not mean free. Please check the appropriate box when booking if you are bringing your fur baby. Thank you, Jim

Best yet

We’ve stayed at several cabins up here. I did research and found this one. It is in a great location and the view is picturesque. We enjoyed everything about it. Even just sitting on the deck watching the sun rise over the mountains or the clouds come in. And our Host Jim was the best. Always available and helpful. We will return!

BOOK. NOW. :)

This had to have been the best experience I’ve ever had with a rental. Jim and Carolyn were very responsive and proactive with any necessary communications. The place is FLAWLESS. The cabin was so clean and had everything we needed during our stay. We had 3 adults and 2 large dogs in our group and the space was just right. The porch was a great space to enjoy coffee and the beautiful Georgia mountains. Pictures do not do this cabin justice! The location was great- far enough from everything to feel secluded but close enough to feel we could run to the grocery if needed. We also found great trails in the “neighborhood” to take the dogs for a hike. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! :)

One of the best Mountain Homes

2nd review of this beauty. Small but one of the best cabins we've stayed in. Paved road to the cabin which is unusual since many are not paved. Perfectly situated between Ellijay and Blueridge GA. About 15 to 20 minutes to most shopping areas. Also the cabin was one of the best equipped. Didnt want for anything in the kitchen. The beds were hotel quality. We even came home and purchased the pillows that were in use at the cabin...we slept so well on them. Views were nice especially in a.m. watching sunrise over smoky mountain tops. Baths were ample sized with granite counters and 1 shower and 1 tub shower. Fireplace in living room was nice to have in the cool mornings. There are electric "fireplaces" for quick heating and ambience in each bedroom as well. Mountain side porch/deck with rocking chairs and grill. This home was only about 1 month new when we stayed. Best of all Jim the property manager lives close by and was very accommodating and friendly. Couldn't ask for a better set up. Highly recommend this cabin. We hope to return soon. Thank you to the owners and Jim and Carolyn for such a nice place to stay!

Very clean and nice cabin. Spectacular sunrises for early birds. Deck is gated so your furbabies or small kids cant get off the porch. The property manager Mr.Jim is on top of his game. Anything u need he responds quickly and offers to assist if u need him to.

Clean with the best views

I'm hesitant to post the truth about this cabin for fear that it will be booked everytime we want to return. This cabin is beautiful, clean, fresh smelling, and the unobstructed view of the mountains especially during sunrise make this cabin a must. When you enter the cabin you immediately notice how clean it is. There is a fresh woodsy smell to complement the rustic luxury feel of the cabin. The two bedrooms are the same size with one bathroom slightly larger. There is a Keurig coffee maker with pods, a magic bullet for protein shakes, and the water tastes fresh and well filtered. But, did i mention the view?!?! WOW! The railing around the porch has small slats so our small Corgi was never in danger of slipping through them. Although it was too warm to use the firepit table, it looked lovely.

This cabin exceeded our expectations! The views along with the harvest moons, were spectacular. The sunsets were amazing as well. It felt like walking into a home away from home. It was clean and cozy, and we felt very safe in the area. In addition, Jim was always very prompt and courteous in responding to any questions. We will be back!
