Amazing property with great hosts.....HIGHLY recommend
The property and location were stunning. Several great entertainment/sports options to keep everyone entertained.
Laughing Bear greatly exceded all expectations.
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.
This location had it all! Great for a larger group and Sarah was very helpful and easy to work with. One of the attendees is already looking at future dates to book.
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!
The property was beautiful. It had so many activites to keep everyone having fun. Fishing, swimming, golfing, basketball, pool, ping pong, and video games. Great place for a large family reunion.
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.
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 !!!
From the size and beauty of the property to the layout and furnishings of the bedrooms, I have yet to find a better place for a 20-30 person retreat. The theater, game room and indoor basketball/racquetball court were a nice plus. Aside from a little mixup with the door code which was quickly rectified, our stay was perfect. We may try for a spring or summer stay next time so we can take advantage of the volleyball court and ample field space. Thanks again!
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 had an amazing time at this lodge we had 21 people adults and kids ranging 2-15 and we all fit comfortably with beds to spare. Lots of things for kids to do and play in the rec room and outside if weather permits. Would absolutely return!
Laughing Bear Lodge was absolutely perfect for our growing family! Plenty to do for the kids and very spacious. We are already trying to figure out when we can all meet back at LBL!
Our stay was wonderful! The house and property was amazing! We had 23 ladies who went on this trip and everyone loved it! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect weekend! And Sarah was amazing to work with!
Laughing Bear Lodge was the nicest rental property I've ever stayed at by far. The pictures really do not do it justice. Sarah is also there for every need possible. We will definitely try to get back to LBL!
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.
Central area fabulous, Bedroom areas spacious but could use some updating. Plenty of room for our party of 19 - very conducive for large groups. Resort Manager very responsive as needs arrived. Blue Ridge town great for an afternoon out and about. Overall the family had a memorable time.
