About this property
Bearfoot Lodge Getaway
Summary:
Elegant Cabin with Soaring Ceilings, Stone Fireplace, Free WiFi, and Central AC
The Space:
Spread out and relax in this home in the woods - there's plenty of room in front of the gas fireplace and out on the screened-in porch! Wood paneling and woodsy details throughout the home set the scene for a relaxing retreat. Cook up delicious meals in the full kitchen, which is equipped with full-size appliances that include a French-door fridge. Central air conditioning and a ceiling fan in each bedroom will keep everyone comfortable, while a private washer/dryer will keep everyone's gear clean. Pull the room-darkening shades closed if you want an even more peaceful sleep!
When it's time for bed, everyone can find their own space across this home's three floors. On the lowest level, the first bedroom features two twin beds (with extra storage underneath!) and an entrance to the back deck. Across the hall, the second bedroom features a king bed and an en suite bathroom with a standalone shower. Head up to the main floor, where the third bedroom is right by the downstairs staircase. This bedroom features a king bed and a private entrance to the screened-in porch. The full bathroom across the hall (featuring a standalone shower) can serve the guests residing in this bedroom. The final bedroom is on the top floor, featuring a king bed and a private balcony. The bathroom across the hall features double sinks, a standalone shower, and a jetted tub.
What's nearby:
This home's secluded location is part of its charm. But the town of Ellijay is just five and a half miles away, so there's no need to worry about groceries. Enjoy hitting a few balls at the Whitepath Golf Club, a fun local course just under 14 miles from the home. Outdoorsy guests will like being within 25 miles of Cold Mountain, Little Bald Mountain, Tickanetley Bald, and Rich Mountain. Of course, you're also just 22 miles from Carters Lake!

This cabin was clean, roomy, and comfortable. Great location, close to everything we wanted to do in Ellijay.
Very nice wooded neighborhood with tons of deer. The neighborhood even had access to a pond and the river. Great place for a family to stay.
Great location! Clean property. Deer come to visit. Would definitely come again :)

Great vacation house for a big group.
We had a group of 7 people come up and we didn’t have any problems with space, the house was great and very clean. Also the deer in the area literally come up to you, so if you like animals it’s a great place.

Amazing home
We really enjoyed our stay at your home. The bedrooms and living space were great for us and the outdoor firepit area was really nice to have. Everything was clean and a well stocked kitchen. We highly recommend the house to anyone looking for a weekend North of Atl.

Quiet get away
Fantastic space to spread out with our family. Enjoyed watching all of the deer and birds off the deck. Although there are houses nearby, all the woods make it feel private and peaceful.
This cabin is extremely clean and well stocked for arrival. Swings on every level fie one to enjoy watching the deer meander by.
Nice fire pit! Quiet neighborhood!

Love this cabin!! Very Clean!
The cabin was perfect and very clean! Location is great and not too far from restaurants and shops. Only suggestion would be for towel holders in bathrooms that work and the main floor shower had the hot water reversed. Other than that everything was great!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
We had white tail deer every morning at the front porch. Some ate right out of your hands. Tubing was a blast and hiked to tumbling waters.

You Will LOVE this Home!
My family of 7 loved this big, beautiful home. We came in town to visit family in Ellijay. It was very clean and spacious. The screened in porch was so nice and relaxing and bug free! We were greeted by deer every time we pulled into the driveway and we enjoyed seeing them at all times of the day. They were so friendly and we even hand fed them. We would recommend this house and will be back again some day.

1 month stay in North Georgia
We stayed at this property for the entire month of January. The house is in a beautiful quiet neighborhood just 10 minutes from downtown Ellijay. Grocery stores were close by and so were restaurants.
The house is beautiful, super clean, and well-appointed. Wildlife outside is abundant. Tons of deer throughout the day.
This is a very nice property. You will enjoy it, I promise.

Beautiful, peaceful, perfect
Nearness to everything (BJ Reece Apple orchard, and Burt’s Pumpkin Farm), cleanliness of home, size and amenities were perfect for 2 adults and 4 children (9, 7, 4, 2) who love to be outside in the elements. The home was perfect size and had the perfect amount of amenities included. The wildlife (deer) are skidish enough to let you see them up close but not comfortable enough (thankfully) for my kids to touch them. Beautiful home, well maintained and will look for this home in the future when we stay next year if available.

Fall Getaway
Clean, spacious retreat with plenty of opportunity for relaxation and family activities. Appreciated family games provided and book collection. If you arrive at night, be aware no one will be in the guard shack. Use the call button on the call unit on the post. This area is poorly lit, and we were not told this would be the case, so it would have been helpful to know this ahead of time. Our family voted this place as a definite keeper. Nice change from the beach.
