The space Blue Ridge Bear Bungalow Just over two miles from downtown Blue Ridge, this spacious, charming log home offers the perfect combination of convenience and quiet. Tucked into a gated community and surrounded by trees, this home enjoys a private, serene setting within just minutes of all the area’s many attractions. Spend the morning on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway, then while away an afternoon exploring the shops, restaurants, and attractions of Blue Ridge. Pick up a paddleboard, kayak, or pontoon at Lake Blue Ridge Marina Rentals, just over four miles away; hike the Aska Trail system, around eight miles away, or spend the day visiting one of the north Georgia vineyards, all an easy drive away. Finally, don’t forget to pack your fishing poles - anglers will love the private community Toccoa River access, just one mile away. More community amenities include picnic tables, a green egg grill, and gazebo. The home itself exudes charm inside and out. Spend mornings sipping coffee and enjoying the tree-lined view from the upper deck afternoons soaking in your private hot tub on the deck downstairs, and evenings cozied up in front of the outdoor wood-burning fireplace, watching the game on TV, or just enjoying the sounds of nature. The open floor plan features all the cabin details you crave, from the carved black bear on the front door to the soaring, cathedral ceilings and stone fireplace. An open floor plan makes it easy to spend time together while the chef whips up meals and snacks in the full kitchen. Grab a bite at the breakfast bar, sit down for family-style meals, or step back outside and dine alfresco on the deck. Relax in the outdoor hammock with your favorite vacation read. After a day of outdoor adventures, entertainment options at home include six TVs with streaming capabilities, free WiFi, and a fun game room downstairs with a pool table, card table, and living room. There is also a workspace on the lower level bedroom with a desk, chair, and monitor. More vacation necessities include a washer/dryer and central air-conditioning. The night ends in any of three bedrooms, including a primary suite with a private balcony and en suite bath.
