The Perfect Winter Getaway!

Our wooded retreat in the Appalachian Mountains is a beautiful 2 king bed-2 full bath cabin that will have you feeling cozy and at home the moment you walk through the front door. Both bedrooms have high-quality king-sized mattresses with plenty of reading lights for those late night readers. We have stocked the kitchen with everything you could possibly want, from cooking a turkey meal to baking a pie. We have 3 different options for making coffee (regular coffee pot, Keurig, and French Press). You can cook on a propane grill, or cook smores by the outside fire pit or the indoor fireplace . You'll find marshmallow sticks in the drawers enticing you to see who can make the best s'mores. The bathrooms are stocked with soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and a hairdryer in order to make your packing easier and the closets have lots of hangers. You will even find a pack-n-play with sheets and a booster high chair in the master bedroom closet. For those colder, dry nights you can use the humidifier located under the bathroom sink. Whether it's first thing in the morning while sipping on your morning coffee, or as the sun begins to go down while having a glass of wine, enjoy sitting in the screened in porch overlooking the wooded area. Keep your eyes open as deer frequent this wooded ravine throughout the day. Enjoy putting your feet up with the reclining chairs in the large couch and watching a movie of your liking. We have set the tv up with internet so you can enjoy your favorite shows on Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, Disney Plus, etc. There are extra blankets in the closets if you want to up the snuggle factor even more. We've even provided a few laundry detergent pods just in case you need to do some laundry or you simply like to pack and take home clean clothes at the end of a good trip!

Winter is here and the fireplace, inside and out, are calling your name. We have provided all the firewood you need to enjoy sitting by the warm fire. The s'mores sticks are in the kitchen drawer to add to the memories and warm blankets are in the closets.

The 5,500 acre Coosawattee Reserve provides endless opportunities for adventure and fun. There are 5 different parks with beautiful sites through the Reserve, and a water tubing outfit to enjoy. You can also fish in the river (no license required) and use the BBQ charcoal grills at any of the 5 parks. Amenity/Guest pass card can be purchased for $90 giving 4 people access to the recreation center with each visit. Amenity card also include access to an Olympics size heated indoor pool, small kids wading pool, 2 outdoor pools (between Memorial Day and Labor Day), gym, arcade room, tennis, pickleball, basketball courts, and miniature golf. You'll find oversized beach towels above the washer and dryer. Our cabin is located approximately 0.25miles from the recreation center which included the indoor pool, wading pool, tennis courts, pickleball court, arcade room, fitness center, miniature golf. *Please note there is an additional fee for an amenity card for recreation center.* There are limitless hikes in the surrounding mountains.

Just what I needed!
Beautiful cabin! It was perfect—just needed a getaway from everything and it served that purpose while having everything needed! Didn’t have to go out for anything except to eat bc I didn’t want to cook. Lol Would definitely stay at the Baby Bear again!

A Fantastic Getaway!
We absolutely loved our stay! Deer roaming around in the mornings and evenings, s’mores by the fire pit, hiking nearby. It was just what we hoped for…a time to unwind and relax. Hosts were superb at communicating and checking to be sure everything was meeting our expectations.

Nice house but not seclided
Host was very accessible and communicated promptly. There was active construction on a new house next door and they were responsive and gracious about our complaint. Very nice host. House has a nice layout and fully stocked kitchen. Fire pit was at front of house with gravel road noise. It is in a gated community of many homes and not a secluded as we preferred. House did have a musty odor when we first walked in, previous guest may have had a pet.

Escape to relaxation and adventure
This cabin allowed my family and I escape to relaxation and fun. The cabin was well stocked with high end items. The furnishing were comfortable. The beds and bedroom was so comfortable. The trees blocked out the light in the morning making it so tempting to sleep in ( which we did several mornings) however adventure awaited in the surrounding area. Although the cabin does not have a mountain view, when you sit on the back porch it feels like you are sitting in a tree top canopy, very relaxing. The location of the cabin allowed for easy access to the recreation center, trails, wineries, shopping in Ellijay and Blue Ridge. The home owner Kristen replied quickly to any questions that I had and offered lots of information about things to do. I would definitely recommend this cabin for relaxation and adventure.
