Absolutely perfect trip! The hosts provided everything needed and then some. The cabin was beautifully decorated, clean, cosy and comfortable and we will most definitely return and stay longer on our next trip. I'm torn between telling everyone I know about this perfect cabin because Im afraid it will be booked and unavailable making it difficult for my return. Thank you for making our trip perfect!

The cabin was perfect, so beautiful, peaceful, and well-equipped. Loved and used all outdoor spaces. The gurgling stream below the property was so soothing. All lthe trees and foliage made it feel as if you were staying in a tree house. I enjoyed walking up and down the neighborhood hilly streets. We loved our stay.

Wonderful stay!

Cabin was clean with extra touches of hospitality and easy communication with host. We weren't able to enjoy the tree house much due to recent pollen season and lights were not working in that area during the evening, but nonetheless we had a great stay and would consider another stay in the future!

Blissful peace in the woods

This cabin felt like home. The feeling you will get just rocking in the chairs or sitting outside listening to the creek and birds will immediately melt the stress away. The area is beautiful and well maintained. Would recommend 100%Basic essentials well stocked, coffee bar, games and room to relax just a few unexpected bonuses.

Blissful Getaway

The Blissful Bear is full of modernized log cabin charm and provided the peaceful calm we were seeking. The treehouse fireplace and the screened in porch were perfect for enjoying the soothing sounds of the rushing creek, the variety of birds, and a rainstorm. The owners have thought of every last detail to make your stay comfortable and memorable. Definitely planning to stay here again!

Where can I start!!! This place is spectacular!!! From the moment we walked in we were blown away!! The pictures do not do it justice!! The home was immaculate. The coffee bar was unreal!!! It had everything!! They left a gift for is to make smores and a bag of popcorn. The cabin has everything you need!! We ate breakfast every morning out on the covered screened in porch. At night we burned in the fireplace in the tree house. You can hear the creek in the back the whole time you are outside. This was the most peaceful place for rest and relaxation!! Oh, and the bed was like sleeping on a cloud!! We will never stay anywhere else in Ellijay but here from now on!! Will be back again soon!!

This cabin is absolutely beautiful with every amenity you can imagine plus more. The sound of the rushing stream at the foot of the hill by the firepit was so relaxing and having our morning coffee in the treehouse was too. I wish it was colder so we could have had a fire out there. We plan to return next year. Many thanks to our host for such a relaxing vacation.

Well appointed and thoughtful items left in the pantry for communal/guest use which was super handy. Host answered all questions and concerns promptly. Coffee bar is clutch! Great trip reconnecting with my wife and created some great memories that will last a lifetime. Very relaxing and recharging trip. While there is no access from property to the creek the gurgling sound is quite soothing. We did not use the fire areas as it was just too warm, but hanging out in the 'tree house' was quite enjoyable. Excellent host and property and would definitely consider a return trip. Watch out for the bear!

Loved the whole week! House was spotless and the welcome decorations started at the driveway and continued thru the cabin, onto the screened porch and even in the tree house. Made to feel like a home away from home! It smelled wonderful and there was everything you could ask for to be able to cook and grill. There were so many little touches, like a gift bag that held everything you needed for smores and popcorn to adorable cloth animals throughout. The beds were comfortable and the linens soft and inviting. It was even better than we imagined with the creek running over rocks creating a soft and soothing sound. It was virtually the only sound besides birds that we heard. The quiet was unbelievable and we loved every minute of it. We read by the fireplace at night and never had a bug bother us. We ate every meal on the screened in porch (which had a grill that was perfect for cooking outdoors) and had coffee from the lovely coffee bar every morning on the porch in the rocking chairs. We wanted a place to relax and be in nature and we found the perfect place. The walking trail by the creek was an added bonus as well. We are already trying to decide when we can book for next year and really appreciate everything that Edward did to accommodate us for this trip!

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.

Blissful Bear Blissful Honeymoon

As very active, well traveled 60 year olds wanting to "check out" and relax, this was so perfect! Coffee on the screened in porch and by the fireside in the tree house throughout the day was perfect. The soothing sounds of the creek and easy hike from the property to the lake were fun. Walking in the sparsely populated neighborhood yielded beautiful woods and some mountain views. Lots of nearby towns to explore - including the Big Food museum for bragging rights to grand kids. We hope to go back! (Linens, towels, kitchen, etc. were nice.)
