    This cabin was so wonderful for our summer family vacation! The owners go above and beyond to make sure everything you could need is stocked and labeled. From soaps to trash bags to paper plates, it was there! We even had a question about something and the owners were quick to respond. Everything is so clean! We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again. Things to be aware of:The drive up to the cabin is very curvy, bring a good vehicle!The walk down to the stream is steep, but well marked and has stairs to help the hike. Not too bad for your average joe. The river was wonderful to have!

    Overall, impression of the cabin is excellent! Probably one of the most well appointed rentals I’ve ever stayed in. Everything is so well labeled and it really does have everything you need in terms of all the little extras. The bathrooms are so nice. Truly. Game room is fun, and the hot tub is in such a perfect location… Feels like you’re looking out into paradise. I do want to point out that for those who are not able to get up and down stairs well (or possibly littles), the creek is not very accessible. It’s quite far down there!

    We really enjoyed our stay! After realizing the drive into the property was steep and curvy, we decided to not go out to dinner. We found that the kitchen was exceptionally well stocked and cooking was very easy. We especially enjoyed the porch fireplace. The walk to the creek was steep but we were rewarded with some beautiful spring flowers. A great cabin with lots of nice amenities!

Hot tub was used daily as a cold chill came through during our stay! Games, towels, toiletries, full kitchen. Amazing! I will warn, if you have trouble with stairs, this is not the place for you but for us that wasn’t an issue. Will stay again!!

    River Bear Lodge is a beautiful, very spacious cabin-we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. 3 nights was not long enough, I wish we could have stayed longer to see more of the area, I could have just stayed at the cabin for days without leaving. The owners, Deana and Jason, were so nice, and easy to get in touch with. I carried things that we use daily, but it wasn’t necessary, as they had the cabin stocked well. I have not the first bad thing to say about this cabin and the owners. And we all (especially the grand babies) got a kick out of seeing the many deer on the way in and a bear in our driveway. We would stay here again for sure. :) I didn’t get many pictures without people in them lol but here are a few.

    Wonderful Cabin Stay in North Georgia! We had a great time staying at this beautiful cabin in the North Georgia mountains! The house was clean, spacious, and very well-stocked—perfect for our group of 14. The owners were excellent with communication and made the entire process smooth and stress-free.There was plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A few things to be aware of: the steps down to the river are quite steep and may be difficult for some guests, and the drive up the mountain is a bit precarious, especially at night.Also, while the listing mentions resort amenities, it’s important to know they are about 25 minutes away, and the included access is only for 8 guests. Additional passes would need to be purchased for a larger group like ours, which wasn’t clear upfront.Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cabin for a relaxing mountain getaway—just be sure to plan ahead for the resort access and the terrain!

    We had a wonderful stay at the River Bear Lodge. The house is even nicer than the photos. The kids loved having the river in the back. We found so many fun things to do close by including white river rafting, tubing and hiking. One thing I will mention is that if you are renting a car to come here you might want to consider an awd vehicle. My sister rented a small sedan and had trouble on some of the hills. We would definitely stay here again!

    We were meeting group of friends and family for a vacation we take every year. 6 adults and 6 kids. The neighborhood was difficult to navigate. Roads were steep and two cars didn’t make it up the first try. The neighborhood was pretty with deer everywhere. But took about 20 minutes of navigation through the neighborhood before we got to the house. The house was very nice but there were about 50 plus stairs to the creek were very steep. Several in the party couldn’t make it and we couldn’t just let the kids go down to the creek. We stayed in the master suite which was nice but very noisy when others walked around or used the bathroom upstairs. Our biggest issue was we were charged for a piece that fell off the table when we arrived. We were using the table properly, no horseplay.. a crossbar came off the bench. We were eating and just set it aside. We were informed we would be charged 75 for the table because we did not notify them right away. With a group of 12, that was not our top priority. When I communicated this with the host I was told that because we had contacted about no laundry detergent or kitchen spray we should have mentioned the table. It really had slipped my mind. I felt like I was being admonished like a child. It really put a damper on the whole trip and we will not be staying at this house again.

    This is the best rental we’ve ever stayed. Home was immaculately clean, well stocked. We don’t have a single complaint. Owners definitely thought through everything to insure you have a wonderful time. We had ages 6 months to 60’s and everyone loved. We played in river at house, enjoyed hot tube and picnics on deck. In evenings we roasted marshmallows on deck fireplace. We had 2 days of cold and rain. There is a very nice indoor community pool kids enjoyed. One day we went to park on river and went hiking. The game room on lower level was really enjoyed.

    Overall home was clean, organized and many things provided as well as everything very well labeled to make finding things super easy. Only downsides were mentioned in other reviews. Last portion of road is gravel (two hills were pretty rough from cement truck traffic). It is a good hike from house to water. We would definitely stay here again or any other home by this host.

We also appreciated all the extras that not many owners provide anymore... for example: plenty of toilet paper, several dishwashing pods, a few things of coffee/hot cocoa, large towels for hot tub, etc... Our teens loved the basement space... felt like they had there own guest house down there. We had a great stay!
