Bear Creek Cabin-HotTub-Pool Table-Fireplace-Creek

Bear Creek Cabin is a magical forest cabin on Barnes Creek backing up to the Chattahoochee National Forest area and minutes away from the nation's best hiking and mountain biking trails. Enjoy this cozy of the coziest cabin with no detail left undone. Next to Barnes Creek with the sounds of water and nature with plenty of parking, fiber internet and flat grassy areas make this a unique experience for groups up to six people. Bring your pet and enjoy your stay at Bear Creek Cabin!

This cabin is tucked in a valley that is the ultimate, restful getaway. Pull up to the cabin at the garage and walk the deck walkway to the entrance by the hot tub area where you'll hear the sounds of rushing water. Upon entering the cabin you'll be greeted by the beautiful, cabin features and fully stocked kitchen to create the best cabin experience. You can get settled into the oversized first floor bedrooms with a king bed or a queen bed or go upstairs to get nestled into another king bedroom with a nook called the cubbie hole, perfect for pets or little ones to spread out and not be under foot. There are many fun things to do at this cabin from the hot tub, outdoor fire pit, picnic basket tools for a meal down by the creek to a wood burning fire place inside with SmartTVs in every bedroom, living room AND the game room. YouTube TV is provided on every TV for local channels as well as movies and TV show recordings. An Xbox One is on standby for the gamers and a pool table, board games and our favorite card games and dominoes. Your pet will be right at home with a pet bed, bowls, extra leash and pick up bags provided. There is plenty of storage for longer stays to get unpacked and put suitcases away. This cabin is tastefully decorated and updated to give you the luxury experience without the price tag.

Guests will have access to the entire 2,000+ sq. ft cabin as well as a two car garage. The cabin has keypad access for contactless check in and there are no steps from the driveway to the front door and no steps into the cabin's first floor living area. There is one security camera facing the walkway on the exterior, facing the driveway and does not face any interior spaces.

Upon booking you'll receive confirmation, access information and even a packing list for best items to bring with you when you arrive at Buddy's Bungalow. Jason and Erin Wilson are your hosts and are available for any questions you may have during your stay and are a phone call/text away.

Buddy's is not in an HOA community and does have a couple of neighboring properties that you can barely see through the trees. The creek flows from one cabin to the next and all are set back in a plush valley. Upon driving to the property you'll drive under hanging pine trees.

There is plenty of parking for up to seven vehicles. Boat trailers or vehicle trailers may be a bit challenging to turn around onsite and may be better left a a local marina.

Join us for many amazing local festivals, events, fantastic eating in downtown Ellijay or even venture a bit North to the Blue Ridge area for outdoor fun and adventure. Buddy's is very close to the nation's best hiking and mountain biking trails, the Pinhotti and Bear Creek. Buddy's has been a guest favorite for many years and not new to Airbnb. We hope that the updates and enhancements that our guests will enjoy this jewel for years to come. Only 11 miles from historical Fort Mountain State Park where swimming, hiking, and horseback riding all await you. You are 10 miles from downtown Ellijay where unique shopping and dining is located.

Beautiful Cabin
The cabin and property were unique, well maintained, relaxing and had everything we could need. The furniture was not cheap, as you find in some cabins. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the bedrooms were large and had plenty of storage space. The hosts were very responsive and gracious. The only (small) issue I had was that when I was booking, for some reason the location was explained as within walking distance to the town of Ellijay. In hind-sight however, the actual location was beautiful and secluded and probably worked out for the best. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Annual hiking trip with friends
What an adorable cabin tucked in a gorgeous rural community! Close enough to Ellijay proper and Blue Ridge for all the restaurants and hiking. The cabin was stocked with everything you could need. We made use of the hot tub every day after returning from our hike. Cabin is pet friendly but you wouldn’t know that except for the leashes by the door. Definitely recommend.

Vacation with friends
A quaint getaway in the mountains. Off the beat and path a great place to unwind and relax. We were able to relax in the hot tube, sit by the fire, cozy up on the screened in porch with a book and listen to the water in the creek. A perfect weekend or week getaway.

WOW! This cabin was amazing!
We rent average of 4 x a year and by far this cabin had everything we needed and more. I am a clean nut and was impressed how clean this home was. There wasn't a thing I needed to run out and get as this cabin had it all. It was 11 miles to downtown and 10 miles to the log home we are in the process of building. First trip into the area a little off the road but easy to find. On Waze so we got there no problem. You will not regret staying here. The home was so comfortable as we are 67 and 68 and everything on 1st floor so worked out great. The water babbling was great to sit outside and enjoy. I even loved the rooster next store, he was more of a guard dog then a rooster. LOL.. We will stay again as this home was CLEAN, well equipped and loved decor. ( I want that chandelier and will replace with another antler one). Don't walk, run for this one.

Buddy’s Cabin 7/28-8/4
Buddy’s cabin was perfect, it was very clean, smelled clean, nicely decorated, beds were all comfortable, the kitchen was the most well stocked kitchen from any place I’ve ever stayed. We loved both sitting areas, but the screen porch overlooking the creek was my favorite spot, especially at night listening to the creek and singing frogs. The creek was very easy to walk down to, our grandson (8) and lab Lola LOVED spending time in the creek. Overall, everything was perfect and we will definitely stay again. I’m including this last part to praise our hosts Erin and Jason and to speak of how wonderful and helpful they both were. On our 3rd night there, a severe storm came through and knocked out the power and wifi. I was able to text Erin to let her know. She assured me she would report it immediately. She told me where to find flashlights and where to find a large bucket in the garage that we could get water from the creek for flushing.The next afternoon we were able to drive into town for a cell signal to call Erin. She said much of Ellijay was without power, and there was no time line for it to be restored and that Jason was bringing a generator to us. The 4th night we had ac and lights, but by morning we still had no hot water and the generator was struggling to work as it should have. We did decide to check out, but that was of no fault of Erin and Jason. I’m only writing about what happened to show praise to Erin and Jason and what truly awesome, caring hosts they are.

Buddy’s Bungalow
Kitchen was very well stocked. Home was clean and comfortable. Appreciated the pack n’ play, child seat and baby gates for the stairs as our one year old granddaughter was with us. Less for us to pack along. Our grandson spent many hours in the creek living his best life. Owners were very responsive. On your drive to the cabin, stop at the neighborhood stands for firewood, eggs and blueberries. Enjoyed the nearby hiking trails and wildlife by day and the fire pit in the evening.

We wanted to get away from it all and enjoy some family time. Grocery shopped in town, made most of our meals from the cabin, and each day picked a nearby hike or just hung out on the property. Literally spent an entire day with the kids playing in the stream, backyard area, woods, and the hot tub. This cabin has everything you need to reconnect as a family!

Nice family getaway
Great place tucked away but close enough to downtown Ellijay and anything else you need. Cabin is comfortable with a great kitchen to cook and hang out in. This place is perfect for a family but not optimal for an adult getaway as other cabins are close in proximity offering limited privacy. The pool table was unusable during our stay which was a bummer as it was one of the perks we loved about this place. Overall a great place to stay in Ellijay!

Not bad, but not outstanding
Overall the house was fine. It was in good shape and comfortable. The creek was nice and the kids had fun. The beds were comfortable and everything looked like it was well taken care of for the most part. We spent most of our time in town, however. We didnt realize it was a 25 minute drive from town. Great for some but we wanted to be closer. There was no xbox, the upstairs bedroom tv didnt work, the dishawahser had dirty dishes upon arrival, and the view of the neighbors junky yard wasn't great. The house smelled strongly of smoke from the fireplace. Most of this is only a minor annoyance and only mentioned because it was unexpected.

Relaxing and enjoyable trip
We were looking to get away for a few days and enjoy nature and some peace and quiet from life. This cabin was perfect for that. I liked the seclusion, lthough yes, there are a couple of homes that are still pretty close, it was still very quiet and peaceful. The creek was one of my favorite parts, getting to listen to the water flowing all day. The firepit was perfect for day and night (in February) and the hot tub was nice to have as well. The house was clean and comfortable with a cozy cabin feel to it. It was a nice stay.

Loved the property and house! Kids spent hours exploring and playing in the creek and woods. Everything was super clean and we could not have been more cozy! The cabin was even decorated for Christmas with stockings and a tree which was such a small detail but made the stay that much more enjoyable for my kids. The hosts answered my few questions almost immediately and were very helpful throughout. We had an amazing stay and would highly recommend!
