Gorgeous Cabin!
Our family travels all over normally staying in VRBO homes. This was probably the nicest and well thought out cabins we have stayed in the mountains yet. It was too cold unfortunately for us to really take advantage of the inside outside space it offers but it was spectacular either way!

Beautiful Hideaway with stunning views!
This cabin is amazing. It’s tucked away in a lovely spot that is both close to everything you might need and also feels secluded and private. The decks are absolutely amazing and the kitchen is a dream to cook in. We stayed a week and none of us were ready to leave!

Beautiful Home
This home was the most comfortable place we have ever stayed in. So many different areas to gather and fully stocked with everything you would need. Loved the small details that you don’t find in most vacation places. They have really thought of it all. Beautifully decorated and amazing outdoor spaces. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfection
Everything was fantastic. This is a perfect getaway. Accommodations are gorgeous. Owner was very responsive. This was a magical vacation. We got our fishing license and caught our dinner. This location is a close drive to all the local attractions. I can not recommend this place enough. I will say a 4x4 or AWD comes in handy. Our vacation was perfect. Gorgeous times 1000. Thank you!

Gorgeous Mountain Retreat!
The property exceeded our expectations! The porches were so lovely and the home was nicely decorated. Being on the river was so peaceful and we loved seeing (and hearing) the scenic railway pass by each day!
Just a heads up- the drive to get to the house is on a gravel road and fairly steep in places so a 4 wheel drive car would be helpful if the weather is wet or icy. We had no issues getting in our out though.
We can’t wait to come back!

Luxury
The stay was fabulous! The cabin is very well appointed in design. A great place for family and friends. A stunning place with all the luxury you need. The hot tub and sauna were the perfect touch. I would recommend an all wheel drive vehicle to pull the drive way.

Bear Walk on the Toccoa River
This house was a pleasure to stay in. Everything was emaculate and well cared for. The main king bedroom gets hot in the summer as the heat rises up there and the AC unit isn't quite strong enough but with the ceiling fan we were fine. The kitchen is a dream kitchen and very well equipped. The setting in the trees is dreamy. You feel like you are living in a tree house. The property isn't ideal if you want to fish onsite. There is no great way into the water from the private dock. But it sure is pretty down there. I would highly recommend this home and working with Jessica was great. Super responsive. We stayed in another house on Blue Ridge Lake after and it was dirty and poorly maintained. Made me really appreciate how amazing the Bear Walk house was! Enjoy

Beautiful home on the river!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bear Walk. The house was absolutely gorgeous. It was beautifully decorated and so comfortable. The kitchen was amazing; we only went out to eat once. Everything was top notch. The pool table, hot tub and sauna were all great. We enjoyed sitting on the porch playing cards at night. Loved the peaceful seating by the river. Made s'mores there and watched the train go by, as well as kayakers. Saw deer everyday and caught a few fish. The driveway was steep and narrow, but we had no problems getting in and out. Can't wait to vacation there again!

Wow! Nothing but the Best Here…
Stunning multi-level cabin home on the Toccoa River.
Easy to see no expense was spared. It has a gourmet kitchen that is out of this world.
Balconies and porches galore, multiple fireplaces and fire pits, hanging beds outside.
Bar, ice maker and pool table in the basement with another nice king bedroom and onsuite bath.
Perfect house for a couple or large/multiple families looking for luxury, fishing, privacy.
Owners are very responsive and polite.
This is a destination home, the mountains and views are just a bonus.

Stunning mountain retreat
We just got home from the most amazing home in Mineral Bluff, GA! Everything was perfect and I can’t say enough how beautiful this home is. We loved hanging on ALL the patios and down by the river! We enjoyed breakfast inside and dinner on the enclosed patio. Oh!!!!! And there’s this comfortable bed/swing downstairs that was perfect for mountain naps! The jacuzzi, pool table and sauna were all a plus!!! So happy with our decision to stay here and can’t wait to do it again!
