About this property

Fishing Bear Cabin- 135/per nite IF 2 people only: SEE Description/rates

'Fishing Bear Cabin' is a quaint, cozy log cabin getaway nestled on top of a secluded mountain ridge in Cherry Lake, a private community with small lakes and hiking trails. Midway between Ellijay (the apple of Georgia) and Blue Ridge off of Hwy 515, Fishing Bear is only 75 minutes from Atlanta as well as 90 minutes from Chattanooga, TN. Our location is convenient and easily accessible off of Hwy 515 yet very private and quiet. The cabin is kept clean and fresh. Come and enjoy the charming 'fishing bear' decor in our fully furnished and equipped log cabin. Sip your morning coffee on the deck and watch the deer walk by. You'll find the peace and quite of mountain solitude, all the comforts of home (cable TV, wireless internet) and more...
Upstairs features two bedrooms and a full bathroom. Both bedrooms are furnished with Queen size beds, TV and DVD player. All linens are supplied - even warm, flannel sheets for those cold winter nights. Snuggle up in front of the gas log fireplace - enjoy the beauty and comfort of a wood burning fireplace without the work and mess. A smart TV is available for you to sign in with your password for your Netflix or any other viewing apps you may have. There is also an addition upstairs featuring a high top table that comfortably seats six for games or dining. The kitchen is fully equipped and has granite countertops. Many condiments are supplied. A large butcher block workspace has been added that allows for extra seating for two as well.
Relax on any of the three decks - swinging on the porch swing or rocking in the rockers. Entire cabin is wood (no drywall) for a true rustic feel and downstairs has been renovated in white pine. We have also added an enclosed addition downstairs with a ping pong table and TV visible from the grilling deck also. The bedroom downstairs is furnished with a King size log bed, dresser and TV with DVD/VCR combo. Attached with master bedroom is a second bathroom (Ceramic tile -shower only). The entertainment area has a wet bar with a mini fridge, Smart TV with DVD player . There is a deluxe sleeper sofa to provide additional sleeping areas-great for the kids to stay up and watch the many movies available. This seating area includes two queen size sofas and a love seat comfortably seating all. The entertainment area opens onto a deck with covered seating, picnic table and sink area making your cooking and eating out a breeze. A gated staircase leads down to the mountain trail for a nice afternoon hike. Or step down to a third deck where you'll find the gas grill and hot tub and additional seating and a hand crafted pub table and stools.

The perfect place for a single couple (party of 2) or a family (or two), come enjoy Fishing Bear and have a vacation you'll remember...
Added bonus - cabin is equipped with a whole house generator. If the power goes out, our generator will automatically kick on.

Awesome cabin and awesome loxation

This property is perfect for the family who just want to rest and relax. Everything was awesome. The downstairs if perfect for the kiddos (just be careful as socks and stairs are an interesting combination) and the main floor is great for the adults. Everything is provided and the owners are awesome and attentive before and during your stay. Definitely a must to return. One note, the road getting to the cabin is paved but narrow so watch for on coming traffic.

Awesome Vacation

The cabin was awesome. It had everything you could ever need. The bear decorations were adorable and appropriate for the area. The environment was very peaceful, and it was just what we need and very much enjoyed. There also were fun activities in the area. The highlight was a train ride to Tennessee / Georgia border. We highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Doug & Jeanne Lindberg

Host profile image
We have loved the mountains and decided to buy in the Blue Ridge area because of all it has to offer - easy access, shops, hiking, tubing, rafting, antiquing, vineyards and wine tastings, festivals and so much more.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the cozy, comfort of this cabin. It is very easy to get to with a four lane highway right up to the turn to go up the mountain. Once you leave the highway it is like being in another world - quiet, peaceful.
We have tried to make our cabin a home away from home and provide all the comforts of home.

What makes this property unique

Easy access to the cabin as well as down the driveway to park. Quiet and serene yet close to many activities, shops, local events, etc.
