Big Bear Falls

Reasons to Book:

Tucked along the banks of the Cartecay River, Big Bear Falls is a rustic riverfront retreat designed for slowing down, reconnecting, and soaking in the beauty of North Georgia.

From the moment you arrive, the sound of flowing water sets the tone. This is truly a fisherman’s paradise, with easy river access just steps away—perfect for casting a line in the early morning mist or unwinding with an afternoon by the water. Whether you're an experienced angler or simply love being near the river, the setting alone makes this cabin unforgettable.

Inside, warm wood tones and inviting living spaces create that classic mountain-lodge feel, while still offering the comfort you expect for a seamless stay. The open gathering areas make it easy to spend time together—sharing meals, playing games, or relaxing after a day outdoors. 

Step outside and Big Bear Falls truly shines. The outdoor firepit overlooking the river invites cozy evenings filled with laughter and storytelling under the stars. Just nearby, the hot tub offers a peaceful place to unwind, surrounded by the sounds of rushing water and towering trees. It’s the kind of setting that encourages you to linger a little longer.

When it’s time to recharge, three comfortable bedrooms provide space and privacy for up to six guests. Two king suites offer elevated comfort and relaxation, while the additional queen bedroom is equally welcoming—perfect for couples, family, or friends traveling together.

And while the cabin feels wonderfully secluded, you’re still just minutes from downtown Ellijay. Spend your days exploring charming shops, local restaurants, wineries, and orchards before returning to your private riverfront haven.

Whether you're planning a fishing trip, a couples’ getaway, or a peaceful mountain escape, Big Bear Falls delivers rustic charm, riverfront beauty, and the kind of atmosphere that makes every stay feel like a retreat.
