Cedar Bear Cabin - Cozy Mountain View Couples Retreat - Paved Drive & Starlink!

Pros: Quiet, nice view, private, good communication from owner, 20 minute drive to town, nice variety of restaurants nearby. Convenient to local attractions, (waterfalls, train ride, shopping, horseback riding, etc ). Cons: you have to take your own trash off to local convenience center or pay $50 charge to leave it on property. Nice paved driveway, but due to season, was covered in leaves which made it difficult to drive up without car loosing traction. No dishwasher.

This little cabin is so cozy. Everything you need to have an enjoyable stay. The view can’t be beat. Host was very helpful.

Cedar bear is a beautiful little cabin.. perfect for the 2 of us! i cooked a steak on the gas grill, as i drank a beer and stared at the mountains! great little neighborhood with privacy and views! we'll be back!

We absolutely loved this cabin! It was clean, comfortable and well stocked with kitchen essentials. The cabin is close to amazing hiking and waterfalls. We can’t wait to come back!

I stayed at John’s Cabin for a week in late July and it was perfect—there’s truly nothing I would have changed. The cabin was spotless, fully stocked with everything I needed, and even more spacious than the photos suggest. The directions for check-in and check-out were crystal clear, and I felt completely at ease knowing where everything was and how it worked.Even in late July, we only used the air conditioning for a couple of hours on two afternoons. At night, we slept with the screened windows open, enjoying the cool mountain air—absolute heaven. The front porch was a dream; listening to the rain on the roof was pure magic, and the mountain view was even more beautiful than the pictures.The location was unbeatable—about 15 minutes from Franklin (including the drive up the mountain), minutes from stunning waterfalls along the Moonshiner, and an easy drive to North Georgia. We had more than enough to do within an hour’s drive for an entire week.The paved driveway is steep and narrow, but we had no trouble getting up in a Ford F-350. If we can make it, so can you. Highly recommend for a summer getaway—just maybe not during the week I want to come back next year.

We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin! The view was breathtaking, and the whole space had such a clean, cozy, home-away-from-home feel. It was the perfect balance—secluded enough to feel peaceful and private, yet close enough to everything we wanted to explore. It truly made our getaway special, and we’re already looking forward to coming back!

The cabin was absolutely adorable, super clean, and just the right size for my husband and me. The driveway was just a little tight for our really big truck, but we made it...4 wheel drive going and coming. I did think it was a little odd that the air conditioning couldn't be turned down below 76. That's hard for a menopausal woman with hot flashes. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Thank you, again, for your hospitality.

Very pleasant stay in the Black Bear Cove cabin. The owner is phenomenal with his communication and availability. The property is very clean and dry with the addition of the covered patio. The newly paved entrance up to the property was greatly appreciated. Overall gets the max stars for everything. Would stay again and again.

Had a great weekend get away. Enjoy the cabin great location and good things to do not to far away!

Perfect location for a couple wanting to be isolated from most of the world. Great place to stay in and read, or to drive a few miles to hike, shop, or eat. We hope to have the opportunity to return several times.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Black Bear Cove! What a cozy little cabin with every amenity you need. The only issue we had was the steep driveway (which owner did warn about) but we made it up each time! I'm just glad my husband did the driving and we were in his Nissan truck. The cabin was perfect for our 35th wedding anniversary weekend. Thanks so much!

This property is just the right distance from congestion to be peaceful and quiet, and yet not inconvenient. The entire location is very well kept and clean. There are numerous modern conveniences. And the manager is easy to communicate with. Overall, a great place to stay.
