We had a great time staying at this beautiful cabin in the North Georgia mountains! The house was clean, spacious, and very well-stocked—perfect for our group of 14\. The owners were excellent with communication and made the entire process smooth and stress-free.There was plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A few things to be aware of: the steps down to the river are quite steep and may be difficult for some guests, and the drive up the mountain is a bit precarious, especially at night.Also, while the listing mentions resort amenities, it’s important to know they are about 25 minutes away, and the included access is only for 8 guests. Additional passes would need to be purchased for a larger group like ours, which wasn’t clear upfront.Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cabin for a relaxing mountain getaway—just be sure to plan ahead for the resort access and the terrain! ##### Amy R.

We don’t have a single complaint. Owners definitely thought through everything to insure you have a wonderful time. We had ages 6 months to 60’s and everyone loved. We played in river at house, enjoyed hot tube and picnics on deck. In evenings we roasted marshmallows on deck fireplace. We had 2 days of cold and rain. There is a very nice indoor community pool kids enjoyed. One day we went to park on river and went hiking. The game room on lower level was really enjoyed. ##### Jean C.

It was spacious and completely furnished with everything we needed, and more.Every detail in this home was thought through. We loved being on the river and had a blast hanging out on the deck, grilling out, making a fire in the fire pit, roasting s’mores and just relaxing by the river. We counted deer one day as we drove to the property and counted 41! We visited Elijay, Blue Ridge and Amicalola Falls and all enjoyed our trips. Highly recommend! ##### Amy K.

The location on the river was so nice, and we appreciated the comfortable accommodations, fully stocked kitchen, and the many personal touches throughout the property. The hosts were very responsive and quick to address our questions. We loved the ease of hopping in the river with our tubes. The downstairs game room, pool table and hot tub gave our teens plenty to do. Lots of spaces to gather and to spread out. Overall, it was nearly perfect. Thanks for everything! ##### Laura R.

Sep 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy River Bear Lodge is a beautiful, very spacious cabin-we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. 3 nights was not long enough, I wish we could have stayed longer to see more of the area, I could have just stayed at the cabin for days without leaving. The owners, Deana and Jason, were so nice, and easy to get in touch with. I carried things that we use daily, but it wasn’t necessary, as they had the cabin stocked well. I have not the first bad thing to say about this cabin and the owners. And we all (especially the grand babies) got a kick out of seeing the many deer on the way in and a bear in our driveway. We would stay here again for sure. :) I didn’t get many pictures without people in them lol but here are a few. ![Cabin entrance](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ba991fa1-7220-4b4f-bf39-9f34d3853dab-1757279839715.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![I love a fireplace/fire.

We enjoyed every moment of our stay. From waking up to the sound of the river, and we actually got to meet several fawns. It was great. I thought my kids would be bored, but everyday was a great adventure for them. We will be back. ![Birthday Trip Start](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f4a14c8d-a491-4a1a-a39a-cfd66eb0e44f-1759203782830.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Vianne J.
