Extraordinary house and gracious host!

This house is beautifully furnished and the hosts attention to detail was second to none! We have stayed at many properties in the area and this was by far our best experience. This house is great for a weekend getaway and is well equipped for much longer stays! I highly recommend Luxie Bear!

Amazing Stay

From pre-trip communication to post checkout, this was an amazing experience. We felt welcome and appreciated.All the expected amenities were great such as fire pits, hot tub, etc. But all the little details made you feel treated well: dog blanket, s’mores kit, cocktail shaker, etc.We look forward to another stay in the near future. Well done!

Family mountain biking vacation

We had an amazing stay here. The cabin was beautiful, super clean, and had everything needed and more to make a blessed family mountain biking vacation. I appreciated having everything necessary in the kitchen to make our meals and grill dinners on the patio. We also were thankful for the extras like the s’mores ingredients that we made the very night we arrived. The boys really enjoyed all the different activities in the game room including the Pac-Man arcade. The hot tub was a blessing as well after our days on the trails. We also appreciated being relatively close to town for groceries and eating out. We are really thankful for our hosts setting us up for an amazing family vacation at a beautiful cabin.

We had a wonderful time in this cute, well located cabin. We enjoyed hiking at Amicalola Falls, Tumbling Waters Trail and riding the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. We enjoyed the towns of Ellijay and Blue Ridge both shopping and eating. We especially enjoyed the indoor pool and the cabin hot tub!We look forward to visiting the area again!

The host and the property were fantastic. Our favorite part was grilling meals on the porch and having dinner outside while we watched all the deer in the yard.

About the host

Hosted by Luly Allen

Host profile image
I'm a Registered Nurse and it was so easy to transition from caring for my patients to hosting my amazing guests. I'm originally from Miami and wanted to bring a little Miami flair to the gorgeous and picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains in Ellijay, Georgia.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the Blue Ridge Mountains and Ellijay, Georgia because I could bring the Rustic vibe of the mountains with the amenities of a resort so everyone can have a good time! The forested backdrop is breathtaking, the sound of songbirds allows you to relax and unwind.

What makes this property unique

When you first walk in you'll see this is not your grandma's cabin. You're greeted by floor to ceiling windows, beautiful angular, tongue in groove crafted ceilings with tons of natural light and a stacked stone fireplace! We love to shop small businesses and packed the cabin with tons of local décor, art, furnishings and housewares to highlight the local wildlife and everything Ellijay.
