To our wonderful guests new and returners we unfortunately have had a couple of guests who have been untruthful in reviews and have caused disruption.Note this has always been a desirable place and still is.Due to this we have suspended automatic booking and ask for you to request booking and we will get back to you quickly.Thanks.We are located in the Beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains overlooking the quaint little town of Clayton, Ga.Close to many activities or just to unwind. Whitewater River rafting, fishing golf great restaurants and a breath taking view of Black Rock Mountain and surrounding mountains. We are located 7 miles south of North Carolina and 5 miles west of South Carolina.If you are looking for Gatlinburg you might want to keep looking but if you would like to visit Gatlinburg we are an hour and a half due south.Most of the water in Georgia comes from our mountains and we are blessed with many lakes and rivers,the Chattooga being the crown jewel of the southern whitewater rivers.Lake Burton,Seed,Rabun,Tallulah and Tugelo,Yonah are all very close.Lots of activities in the area or just sitting on the porch and looking at a beautiful view.If you enjoy wine there are a good many vineyards. Helen the beautiful little Bavarian Town is 38 miles southwest and an easy drive.PLEASE NOTE being in the mountains this is a" mountain driveway "but it is short and all asphalt and very stable.Just redone 08/24.We also send a packet "snail mail" with many things to do and see.Unfortunately we do not have garbage pickup.We tried the cans but couldn't keep the bears out.Please don't leave trash out at night.It will be a big mess in a.m. Thanks Bill S

The cabin was so wonderful! Plenty of space for our whole family to spread out and relax. Everything we needed was available and Bill, the host, gave us lots of great tips for what to see and do while we visited the mountains.

Dana thanks so much for visiting and please come back one day.Oh going up the first of week will get book bag mailed.Thanks again
The Place was great! Clean and Cozy! just what we were looking for. Secluded without being far from town. The view was beautiful. We couldn't have been happier! Mr Bill is just the nicest person in the world and truly enjoyed chatting with him about the area. I highly recommend this cabin! Even had a small bear pop by for just a second. We will be back!
This is my second time staying at Williebear Cabin and I hope it won’t be my last! Bill is so responsive if you have any questions. I spent many mornings and evenings sitting on the porch admiring the incredible mountain view. Thank you for sharing this place of calm and beauty!

Great stay!
We spent 4 nights at the cabin and loved it. It was stocked with so much that we didn’t need to buy which is a huge blessing. We loved that it was so close to many different attractions. Looking forward to visiting again.

Why they chose this property
This property has it all. It is comfortable and cozy with a beautiful view.Large enough for a family with plenty of activities in the area or just sitting on the porch isn't bad.Firewood is always down below the porch for you to use.PLEASE NO MOTORCYCLES OR 4 WHEELERS.
What makes this property unique
We purchased Williebear Cabin July 2008.It was built in 1999 but never used.We looked at many properties in the area and many had a 'winter view'.Not this one.The view is panoramic and the highlights are Black Rock Mountain,Pinnacle and Saddle Gap North Carolina.This home has the cozy appeal but also has plenty of room for 8-10 people.It is on 2 1/2 levels and is mainly wood floors and walls.The fireplace is stone and puts out a lot of heat.It is updated often and well maintained.All systems are checked regularly for best performance
