Black Bear Ridge

We loved coming in to the Christmas decorations! The large windows and wrap around porch were amazing and we very much enjoyed the outdoor fireplace.

This has been by far the absolute best cabin experience. Very clean, well stocked and beautifully decorated for the holidays.

- Mikkos , Posted: 11/19/2022

All in all, a very enjoyable experience! We loved the outdoor landscaping and lighting, game room and upstairs “reading porch”.

- Kelly , Posted: 05/25/2022

We all had a wonderful time. The cabin was well equipped. The kitchen had just about everything. Bedrooms had extra blankets, lots of games and entertainment. Furniture was comfortable inside and out. Beautiful view.

Our trip to Ellijay and the Black Bear Ridge mountain cabin was everything we were hoping for and more!

We were a group of six, looking to get away for a long weekend, get out in nature, and eat some great food – all without the kiddos! We were certainly able to accomplish all the above and our expectations were exceeded!

We were so excited to see that our cabin was just as nice as the photos on the rental site. The cabin is SO spacious and very clean. It was large enough we all had our own space, and with three couples that was appreciated. The location of the cabin was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful.. We cannot recommend Black Bear Ridge enough. Each morning started with coffee on the screened in porch, surrounded by the sounds of nature and warmed by the fireplace. After a day of adventure, the deck, hot tub and fire pit provided the perfect opportunities to catch up, relax and enjoy the spectacular mountain views.

There was ample space for 8 adults, the kitchen was a decent size and had what was needed to cook with.

This home was great! Beautifully decorated and lots of space. Had everything that we needed for our group of 8 adults and was very clean. We will be back again

This was a marriage retreat.  It was perfect fall weather.  We relaxed, played games and shopping.  Our favorite moments were the conversations around the fire pit, couples cooking and the games we played!

This was a family vacation.  We did everything!  Saw lots of deer in the yard.  Went to Amicalola Falls and spent time with our 98-year-old grandma!  Great memories!

- Tracey , Posted: 07/17/2021

There was plenty of room for our family of 10 to enjoy a little time away. We loved that it had 4 bedrooms plus the 2 twin size Murphy beds. We played lots of games downstairs in the game room and enjoyed making s'mores over the fire pit.

The detail in this "home away from home" reminds us of the details of God's creation in nature outside the windows.  WOW!!!  Thanks for making some great memories.  This is such a special place.

We were in dire need of a vacation since covid and escaped to Ellijay, GA. This small city housed the most welcoming community and this wonderful cabin, Black Bear Ridge. This cabin was everything we could’ve have imagine and more. Black Bear Ridge cabin is tucked away in a gated community with breath taking  scenery in every direction. Very well maintained, organized and clean. The cabin is set up with everything you would need: kitchen fully equipped, washer/dryer and strong WiFi.  Loved the cozy decor, game room, jacuzzi and fire pit. We were busy making memories while visiting Amicalola Falls, site seeing through the city Helen and laughing around the fire pit making s’mores and playing corn hole.  We felt at home, safe and at peace while staying here- our bond definitely grew stronger.  I strongly encourage you to read the guest journal that is located in the living room. The journal reveals previous guest experiences, like the wildlife they have seen, different places they have visited and recommendations. This was by far the best vacation we have ever taken and the cabin was the #1 reason.

This cabin is beautiful!  It's like a home away from home.  Everything we needed was right at hand. Very equipped cabin with everything a home should have. This was like home and we treated it like that.  Thank you for having us!  We are planning to come back and will stay at Black Bear of course!

- Caroline , Posted: 05/26/2021

We enjoyed the spacious environment and quietness of the location and how peaceful it was and relaxing.

- Denise , Posted: 05/09/2021

This is the most fabulous home with the cutest Murphy Bed ever downstairs.  No detail is overlooked in this amazing home.  Thank you for sharing your beautiful mountain cabin.  You have thought of everything.  Love the decor!!!

- Allison , Posted: 04/05/2021

When we first arrived at this home, it was just what the pictures looked like. Everything about this home was just wonderful. Rained for two days, but everyone had space. The kids loved the game room and the adults had plenty of room to play games also. The view and amenities were outstanding.

- Janice , Posted: 03/19/2021

This town is SO nice and quaint.  The people are very friendly.   We enjoyed going to The Reece Apple Orchards Store and the Amish Furniture store on the square in Ellijay.  (What a cute town!). We loved the beautiful views from the wonderful decks and porches.  We love the hot tub, the walks, and the well-stocked kitchen. We really enjoyed this peaceful place!  What a great house with so many options to enjoy the great scenery.  The beds were comfortable and we loved the fireplace in the Primary bedroom. This is truly a cozy escape and this house offers the best of any mountain getaway lodge.

The view and location of this cabin are incredible. The cabin is beautiful and spacious. There was plenty of room for all members of the family to have their own space. My father-in-law, who is a carpenter and a lover of black bears was quite impressed by the woodwork of the cabin and the bear décor. There were many items I did not expect, such as more than enough dishes, firewood. Thank you for the cabin experience. Again, it was a beautiful cabin in a beautiful location! Our family had a very relaxing vacation and we look forward to doing this again in the future.

The space and activities. Overall a very nice cabin. We made lots of family memories.

- Thomas , Posted: 03/18/2020

We have rented many cabins for our large family vacations. This was the best. The spaces were large and lovely. The house was very well stocked. Beds were comfortable. The screened porch and the gate on the outside deck made it possible to relax even with a toddler in the group. The fire pit, hot tub, swing. All of the boxes on our wish list were checked and then some. Escape to Blue Ridge was a friendly and professional company. We had a garbage disposal problem that was addressed quickly. We will absolutely use this company again.

The lovely country atmosphere inside and out. I felt like I was home away home. The cozy feeling you get just by relaxing in the beautiful most decorative home filled with Black Bear Ridge adorable wall and flooring decorations. I loved everything! Everything was fully furnished. Can't really think of anything it needs.. Very professional and prompt to response for clients.

08/18 - This was, by far, our favorite cabin and place to stay in. There was plenty of "essentials" - towels, a wonderful welcoming basket, Tupperware to store leftovers, blankets, extra dishes, and pots, pans, and baking sheets to cook with. We especially loved sitting outside on the swing on the downstairs porch, enjoying the view and peace and quiet. The bear decor is adorable and appropriate. There is plenty of room for those who may need a quiet moment to themselves. There is so much to do here - the kids loved being in the hot tub, then everyone played the games and enjoyed the puzzles and movies. You will want for nothing when staying at this cabin. It is home away from home! Terrific! Everything was clean and loved coming in to soft music playing and lights on.

10/18 - Nicest vacation home we have stayed in! Great hot tub and games. Wifi/cable are top-notch. Enjoyed views from decks/balconies and the master suite/whirlpool. Secluded, yet close to orchard, made this the perfect stay. We will be back!!! Excellent customer service.

- Ken and Bobbie

11/18 - Loved everything!! The cabin was very welcoming and exceptionally clean! We did not go out and do a lot of exploring as this was truly an R & R trip for all of the couples that went.
