Water surrounded cabin getaway with sauna, hot tub, wild life and private island

Welcome to Bear Lake Lodge, your peaceful escape in the heart of North Georgia. Tucked away on three private acres surrounded by water and woods, this one-of-a-kind retreat invites you to slow down, recharge, and reconnect with nature. Guests enjoy access to Cherry Log Creek, Bear Lake, and even a private island exclusively for Bear Lake Lodge guests — all right on the property.
Whether you’re dreaming of peaceful mornings by the water, afternoons filled with kayaking or hiking, or evenings soaking in the hot tub under the stars, Bear Lake Lodge offers the perfect setting for both relaxation and adventure. And when you’re ready to explore, the charming mountain towns of Blue Ridge and Ellijay are just a short drive away.
The cabin is warm, cozy, and thoughtfully equipped for a comfortable stay, featuring one king bed and one queen bed, heating and air conditioning, a fully stocked kitchen, and laundry essentials for added convenience.
Outside, you’ll find plenty to enjoy — including two kayaks, basic fishing and hiking gear, two fire pits, two grills, and a smoker for memorable outdoor meals. If wellness is part of your getaway, you’ll love the hot tub, sauna, and peaceful indoor and outdoor spaces perfect for meditation, relaxing, and wildlife watching.
Bear Lake Lodge is also dog-friendly, because we know vacations are better when the whole family comes along. An additional pet fee applies. While there is no fenced dog area, the property’s unique island-like setting offers a safe and natural space for sniffing, roaming, and exploring. Dog beds and bowls are also available upon request — just let your host know before arrival.
Because this is a pet-friendly home, guests with severe allergies may want to plan accordingly and bring any necessary medications.
Thank you for considering Bear Lake Lodge for your stay. We’d love to host you for a memorable North Georgia getaway.
