Our stay at The Bear Affair was truly an affair to remember! I was lucky to accompany a friend on a…read morelast minute trip to Georgia and our stay was greatly improved by the amazing accommodations at this adorable cabin. I was worried it might be too small, but it was just right! I stayed in the loft bedroom's king sized bed and my friend stayed on the queen sized sleeper sofa downstairs. We had perfect timing and got to see the leaves changing color and enjoy the cool weather (being from South Florida these are both unusual!) We cooked some of our meals at the cabin in the well-stocked kitchen. There is a full fridge, stove/oven and a full set of dishes, glasses, cooking utensils and silverware. It got cold enough that we made hot apple cider and lit the wood burning fireplace. It was also nice to have the hot tub to soak in after a day out on the town in the cold. The nearby town of Helen is an adorable Bavarian Alpine Village with great little shops and restaurants. We also drove to nearby Dahlonega to check out the shops and artists there. We were able to go horseback riding at the Sunburst Stables in Clarkesville and we also took a trip to the North Georgia Zoo in Cleveland - I highly recommend both! I can't wait to come back in the summer to enjoy some more outdoor activities like tubing on the Chattahoochee River or boating on Unicoi Lake at Unicoi State Park.

The owner called us to see how we were doing and to make sure we are enjoying our stay. I could go on and on but for real, and for a reasonable price, come stay here and experience the awesome yourself

The surrounding woods were beautiful and the hot tube was a nice touch. That's it! These cabins must be owned by individuals because there was great differences in each cabin. Ours was the 3 Bears cabin and it was a dump! The pillows and mattresses were terrible! So old and rolled to center! The appliances were so outdated and the fridge froze our food and couldn't be adjusted. No dishwasher or w/d. Minimal and cheap options for dishes, that you had to wash w threats of $50 charge. Previous guest's soap was left in the dish. Gross! Who knows what else wasn't cleaned? The faucets were dirty and old and cheap. Sofa pillows had tears and holes. The walls and floors were so thin you could hear every move anyone made which made sleeping downstairs tough. Sliding door was incredibly hard to open. Terrible WiFi and you had to have engineering degree to watch anything on TV. Should have forfeited the hot tub and used that money to make the cabin livable. Don't book the 3 Bears Cabin!!!

It looked like they removed it off the roof and just tarped the area. The piece of tree that had fallen was placed near the walkway and was partially in the walkway. Not a very good first impression. The inside of the cabin is pretty basic and the decor is pretty dated. The hot tub smelled strongly of chlorine and eventually gave us headaches. Overall, not super impressed.

When my sister told my young daughters that there was snow in the forecast for Christmas in Blue…read moreRidge, my Beach Babies begged to spend the weekend in the mountains with my family so that they could see snow for the first time. We packed up Christmas and checked into our cabin on December 23 around 415pm, unloaded all of our things and settled in for the bad weather forecasted ahead. Around 515pm on December 24, the family dog alerted us to a fire on the front porch, along the (locked) garage wall. The next 15 minutes are a blur of trying to put out the fire, find our exact location for 911 and finally realizing that we were in trouble and couldn't get out of the burning cabin. God is good, and we were able to escape safely, with only 2nd degree burns and a couple of very traumatized little girls. My car was parked in front of the house and was destroyed by the fire, along with all of our belongings and Christmas presents that were left behind. To date, Vacasa has yet to return my numerous calls regarding the fire or communicate with me regarding my losses. VRBO advised that Vacasa would refund the charges for Dec 24-25 because we were not able to stay those nights. Vacasa has not refunded that charge. Vacasa has also not covered the additional hotel charge we incurred on Christmas Eve, after we had to evacuate the property. Lindsay, from the local office in Ellijay GA contacted me directly after she was made aware of the fire and assured me that she would handle the situation and be in communication with our next steps. For 2 weeks she assured me she would provide the info as soon as she had it. One week there was an appraiser and she would get the info. The next week the appraiser hadn't been assigned. The third week following the fire, she stopped communicating. Vacasa customer service made note of all of these things, multiple times, and promised someone from another department would be in touch with me, although it is "against company policy" to share what department or contact info for such. My wallet and Samsung watch were recovered and given directly to Lindsay to return to me, although she failed to mention it when we discussed my concern for my missing wallet. Upon being informed that she was given my belongings, I contacted her with the information and asked her directly if she had my things. Fortunately, she "remembered" she did and agreed to over-night them to me. For 2 weeks she said she sent them, but couldn't tell me which service she used or provide tracking info. The 3rd week, she stopped communicating. When the sheriff's office got involved, they gave her 24hrs to "find" the postage receipt. Less than an hour later she produced my wallet and watch with the explanation that while looking for the receipt, she "found it and thought it had been sent already". I reported all of this to one of the call center reps at Vacasa, again, although I don't anticipate hearing from them.
