About this property

Top of the mountain! Cozy 3-Level Log Cabin with Stunning Mountain Sunset Views.

Perfectly located between Downtown Blue Ridge and Ellijay - 15 minutes from either downtown.

Drive to the very TOP of the MOUNTAIN and enter the property on our large flat circular driveway (you'll appreciate this more when you see some of the other driveways)!

Enter the front door on the main level and find yourself staring directly at the mountains through the large glass doors in the living area. Dark cherry floors, the stone fireplace in the living area and the wood burning furnace give our cabin an extra cozy feel! The main floor also contains the kitchen and dining areas, a master suite with a king-sized bed, and the main bathroom with a stand-up shower. A large screened deck facing the mountains runs the entire length of the main level with outdoor seating, a charcoal grill and plenty of seating for the perfect gathering space. The entire main floor is accessible without stairs.

From there, head upstairs to find another private suite with a queen bed and a private bathroom with shower and jetted tub. This bedroom has its own screened balcony also facing the mountains with outdoor seating for two.

Downstairs is a completely finished basement with a sofa and a 50" TV, family friendly games and a pool table. A separate bedroom is located in the basement and kids will feel at home in some of the coolest bunkbeds available! The basement level is home to the largest of the three decks - the deck is nearly 700 square feet and generally turns into the family's favorite gathering spot. with plenty of seating and a fire pit (solo stove).

The entire yard is fenced and we're a dog friendly cabin. Bring your best friend!

Firewood is provided for all our guests and included in the price.

We stayed for a month between April and May and would definitely stay here again. The cabin is very cozy and has the most amazing views of the mountains. We especially liked the fenced in yard for our dogs. Josh is a terrific host and he is extremely quick to respond to you through VRBO messaging or text once you are at the cabin. A bear decided to knock over the trash container looking for something to eat while we were there and Josh had someone repair it within a couple of days. Thanks so much for a great vacation Josh!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Lazy Bear Lodge! It was very clean and the bed was more comfortable than our own! We had a minor issue while we were there, but Josh immediately answered my call and had it resolved shockingly fast.

Very peaceful, pet friendly cabin! Perfect for what we needed. Our only suggestion is that it could’ve been a bit cleaner. There were many cobwebs on the deck that we feel could’ve been cleaned up. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay.

Gorgeous views and sunsets!!

The cabin was very well kept and had plenty of spacious room. The views from the upper to lower level were so amazing we lost track of time. It was very relaxing! From the fresh mountain air, to the cozy fires each evening, we felt right and home! This was just the refreshing getaway we needed!! Highly recommend staying here!!!

About the host

Hosted by Josh Horrocks

Host profile image
My name is Josh and my wife and I are happy to host you! We take pride in providing our guests with a wonderful, family & pet friendly place to stay at a good value!

Why they chose this property

True, long range mountain views! This cabin sits ON TOP of the mountain - the views are breathtaking and make this all-wood cabin an extremely relaxing place to unwind. If you decide to check out either Blue Ridge or Ellijay (or both), this cabin is located just 10-15 minutes from both down towns. wineries, shops, outdoor activities, good restaurants - this area has it all!

What makes this property unique

There are thousands of rental cabins in the Blue Ridge / Ellijay area - there aren't many that have views like ours. Aside from being atop the mountain, we are centrally located between both downtowns, making it a quick, short and very scenic drive to either. You will certainly feel at home during your visit!
