About this property
Winter Retreat, Hot Tub, Fire Pit, 7min to Ellijay. 16min to Blue Ridge
Come enjoy winter holidays in the North Georgia mountains at the recently refreshed Lazy Bear cabin. Enjoy sunset on the front porch and Walnut Mountain from the back deck with your morning coffee. Our tranquil cabin is perfectly situated 5 minutes from vibrant downtown Ellijay, and 15 minutes from Blue Ridge, both of which were recently named to Southern Living’s list of “Best Small Towns in Georgia.”
The Lazy Bear balances rustic with modern and radiates character and vintage charm. Perfect for couples, families, or a weekend with the girls/boys, the layout is ideal for privacy and comfort, featuring one bedroom per floor and access to an updated full bath on each level. Plenty of space for your group to spread out and have some privacy.
Lower Level patio has a hot tub overlooking a wooded ravine – a great spot to enjoy peace and tranquility of the forest, while sharing day’s adventure stories, reminiscing about the past or making plans for the future.
Fire pit has seating for 6 where everyone can enjoy s’mores along with the crackling sounds of the fire.
There is a covered front porch with a swing and rocking chairs, a great spot to take in nature, whether it’s with a cup of morning coffee, a cocktail along with a short afternoon rain or just peaceful sounds of the Georgia mountains at dusk.

The hot tub on the lower-level patio overlooks a peaceful wooded ravine, creating a private oasis to unwind.
