The host is incredible! Great communication and even gave suggestions on what to do on our family trip. The home is gorgeous, clean and in a great location. Lots to do in Ellijay, Blue Ride, Helen and Dahlonega.
We had an amazing stay here. The cabin was beautiful, super clean, and had everything needed and more to make a blessed family mountain biking vacation. I appreciated having everything necessary in the kitchen to make our meals and grill dinners on the patio. We also were thankful for the extras like the s’mores ingredients that we made the very night we arrived. The boys really enjoyed all the different activities in the game room including the Pac-Man arcade. The hot tub was a blessing as well after our days on the trails. We also appreciated being relatively close to town for groceries and eating out. We are really thankful for our hosts setting us up for an amazing family vacation at a beautiful cabin.
This house is beautifully furnished and the hosts attention to detail was second to none! We have stayed at many properties in the area and this was by far our best experience. This house is great for a weekend getaway and is well equipped for much longer stays! I highly recommend Luxie Bear!
From pre-trip communication to post checkout, this was an amazing experience. We felt welcome and appreciated.All the expected amenities were great such as fire pits, hot tub, etc. But all the little details made you feel treated well: dog blanket, s’mores kit, cocktail shaker, etc.We look forward to another stay in the near future. Well done!
