☕ Enjoy Fireside Sips While Spotting Wildlife
Escape to a classic log cabin retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where quiet mornings with coffee on the deck and evenings by the firepit come naturally. Whether you're spotting deer off the king suite balcony, grilling dinner for the crew, or curling up by the outdoor fireplace with a glass of wine, every moment here invites you to unwind and enjoy the beauty of North Georgia.

Host Movie Nights & Read by Firelight
Bucks Bear Lodge is a peaceful, well-appointed hideaway tucked into the hills of Ellijay — known for its charming apple orchards and fall festivals — with room for up to 8 guests. Inside, the cabin offers 3 cozy bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and tons of bonus space to spread out. Between the loft with a sectional and TV, a media room for movie nights, and a main living area with a crackling fireplace and tall windows framing the trees, there's no shortage of space to relax or connect.

Swim, Catch Fish, Play Mini-golf & Much More! ⛳
Tucked within the Coosawattee River Resort, guests have access to tons of community perks — including swimming pools, river access, catch-and-release fishing, playgrounds, picnic areas, a rec center, tennis, and a mini-golf course. After a day of swimming, hiking in the national forest, or shopping in downtown Ellijay, come back to roast marshmallows under the stars, take in the wooded views from a porch swing, or dine alfresco at the picnic table.

Feel Right at Home in the Mountains
With a fully equipped kitchen, desk space, washer/dryer, free Wi-Fi, keyless entry, and a scenic drive just over 7 miles from Ellijay, this cozy cabin is a relaxing home base for your next North Georgia getaway.

Important Notes
• For travel notes, you'll turn onto a short strip of gravel before hitting the somewhat steep, paved driveway of your Ellijay cabin rental. The walking path is also at an incline to reach the entryway, with only 3 steps up to the porch.

• Complimentary resort activities include the catch-and-release pond, 4 parks, picnic areas, and playgrounds. Day passes for all other resort activities, including swimming, games, etc., can be purchased at the resort for $10 per guest per day.

• Wildlife is abundant; we kindly ask guests to maintain a respectful distance and secure all food and trash properly.

• Community pool and resort amenity access is provided and managed through a third party. Host is not liable for amenity availability, maintenance, downtime, or pool closures under any circumstances.

    Took two days to get a confirmation number to get in the gate. Trash bins were full and had to leave trash in the kitchen when checking out. Beautiful cabin and great experience overall.

    Loved our stay at Bucks Bear Lodge! Beautiful and spacious with everything you could want. Comfy beds and plush towels. Gas fireplaces, but bring wood for the fire pit. The road through the resort is narrow and winding, so just be aware. There are also many deer roaming around.

    Nice amenities in house, well-stocked. Hot tub would be an improvement. Not a great location, not private, surrounded by houses.

    The hurricane washed out our house near Ashville so we made a plan B and it was a great choice. The owners have done a great job with their house. It is warm and inviting. We will be back!

    The house is beautiful as is the gated community. Everything went really well - great communication throughout. The only issue we had at all was the price of the amenities card. The listing said it would be $10 for a day pass, so we waited until midway through our stay for a day when we would be able to make good use of the pass. Turns out there aren't day passes any more - it is a 1 time fee of $59 that covers your entire stay (for up to 4 people). Had we known that, we would have bought the pass on the first day and then used the pools/rec center for a short time each day. This was truly a minor inconvenience, but it could be a bigger issue for some. We certainly won't hesitate to come back - this was one of our best vacations ever. We are very pleased.

    Loved this cabin. Everything was awesome from check in to check out. The cabin was very clean and modern. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and more. Loved sitting out on the back with the fireplace and the front porch with the swing. The cabin had several options for outdoor seating which we loved. The fire pit was a nice touch, we made S’mores one night. The highlight of the trip was getting to see the deer everyday! I was sad when it was time to leave. This was the best trip, very peaceful and relaxing. We will definitely be coming back!!

    The property was clean, new and very nice. Plenty of room for a group of 5. The deck was very nice to hang out in the morning and evenings. We used the grill every night and there was plenty of space in the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. The location was convenient for Ellijay, Blue Ridge, hiking in GA and whitewater rafting in TN.
