About this property

MOST AMAZING Sunrises! 2 Lux kgs , 2 ba. real log cabin! WIFI, NETFLIX !



Apple Bear Ridge is a luxury log cabin in the highly sought after Lake Buckhorn Community, with everything you need to have a special weekend away or bring friends for festivals and leaf viewing. Either way you will be blown away with the morning sun rises over Rich Mountain Wilderness Area, and did we mention the amazing orange harvest moons in the Fall!!

Apple Bear is now equipped with a whole house generator, so you never have to worry about a power outage from a storm.

NOTE: We do not photoshop our photos as some other companies do. What you see is exactly as is!

So why choose Apple Bear Ridge?

At BCR you are a real person, not an " unknown" or just a credit card number punching a key pad on a door.

Hospitality and guest service are our cornerstone! None of these one hour quick cleaning services with BCR. Carolyn makes sure your cabin is immaculately clean !

After booking, property manager, Jim Ferguson, will be in touch with you personally to give you all the info you need to locate and access your

Jim, and wife Carolyn, live in the Lake Buckhorn Community. Jim is always available 24/7 by phone or text if needed, or if you just have a question. Carolyn makes sure everything is immaculately clean and adds all the special and personal touches. Holiday and seasonal decorations are all a plus!!

The moment you walk into your cabin, you will love those special touches, the importance of immaculate cleaning and the welcoming hospitality treat left for your party. NOTE: Pet friendly does not mean free. Please check the appropriate box when booking if you are bringing your fur baby. Thank you, Jim

That is why our guests give us all FIVE STAR ratings, above and beyond, and come back again and again!!

Lake Buckhorn is the center of the community, stocked with Large and small mouth bass, and Blue Gill. And although Apple Bear is a mountain view cabin and not directly on the lake, fishing is accessible.
And, why not enjoy a round of great golf! Whitepath Golf Course is only a few minutes away. " Four!!"

Apple Bear Ridge has two brand new luxury king size beds in nice size bedrooms with their own baths. 3 HDTVs with cable, free WIFI and Netflix! Enjoy a glass of wine with friends or your special one around the propane fire pit on the porch overlooking those amazing views!No smoke or being bothered by rain, so sit chat and relax!

The fully equipped kitchen has every item you would need if you were cooking a family meal, from granite counter tops, farm style sink, all appliances and utensils, but who wants to cook when you could be sitting on the covered porch watching these amazing views!!

Easy access over all paved roads so no need to worry and no need for 4 wheel drive. Conveniently located in the sought after Lake Buckhorn Community between Ellijay and Blue Ridge, GA.
(about 15 minutes to either location).

Apple Bear is a Premier Property with Buckhorn Cabin Rentals and Property Management, a Five Star, Premier Host with HomeAway and Vrbo.

This is one of the nicest and cleanest rentals we’ve ever stayed at! There was everything we needed and then some. Jim was super quick with his communication and gave great local recs. The view was spectacular and everything super comfortable (especially the beds!). Couldn’t have asked for a better place to rest and unplug for a few days!
