    The house looks tired. Some TLC. The vanity on the main bathroom right hand side does not work. The light in the closet of the main bathroom does not work. The sink in the bathroom next to the bedrooms in the first floor is clogged. There are no lights on the side of the house that you park the cars. One of the chairs in the theater room is not reclining the other chairs don’t work properly. It is a real inconvenience, not to have an icemaker in the house. We were OK because it was winner, but in the summer, it must be difficult to keep up with the ice for the number of people in the house. The kitchen, they say knife sharpener, and a new can opener.

    This is a wonderfully large but still very cozy option for group retreats or family get-togethers. The bedrooms are all very comfortable and separated just enough from the main gathering areas. The basement game area and basketball court add plenty of activity options. The hosts are very kind and communicative, as well.

    What a wonderful week with our children and grandchildren!! Many memories were made. We were blessed with some mild days and the kids even got to float down the creek! I think the favorite was the kitchen with all of its room as we prepared meals each day. The downstairs game room was the greatest babysitter.!!! we have already booked again for 2026 !!!

    We hosted our sales team for a three day retreat. The home and property was awesome! Everyone enjoyed their time here. We did a teambuilding scavenger hunt in Blue Ridge, Georgia, which is very close to where the property is. We highly recommend this property for large groups and gatherings.

    We searched long and hard for the right property to host a special birthday celebration. With four generations ranging from 8 months to 85 years, we needed a place that offered something for everyone – and Laughing Bear Lodge was the perfect choice. It's huge, comfortable, well stocked, and well laid out. With so many entertainment options, the kids were never bored, and that gave the adults plenty of quality time for catching up. The enormous kitchen and great room accommodated all of us comfortably, but there was also plenty of space for downtime and privacy. Sarah, our host, was helpful and transparent from start to finish. We knew exactly what to expect, and check-in/check-out could not have been easier. She answered every question promptly before, during, and after our stay, and she reached out proactively at several points to be sure we had everything we needed. When our 3-day stay was over, my father proclaimed that his 85th birthday was the best ever. That made it worth every penny, and we're so glad we found Laughing Bear Lodge.

    We have a group that vacations together every summer and this was the perfect house for our group. We had a great time hanging out on the property, but we also did white water rafting and zip lining nearby. We would definitely recommend!

    It is a wonderful place for the entire family to enjoy. Plenty of space and fun things for the kids to do. They all loved floating down the creek. The basement was a hit and gave the adults a little space to enjoy each other. Would recommend for any large gathering. The property manager was super helpful and responsive to our questions.
