The house was very comfortable. We walked into the house with music waiting for us and the most amazing views of the mountains. We sat on the outside patio every night watching the beautiful sunsets. We were close to tubing and rafting. 12 minutes from the lake and less to downtown Blue Ridge. 5 minutes to grocery stores. Internet was a little slow at times. Also could use small dressers in some of the bedrooms, but overall I give it 5 stars

Cabin was in excellent condition and the host was very responsive before and during our stay. They went the extra mile to make our stay fun.

This home was such a wonderful, relaxing place to stay! It had everything we needed, and more. The teens loved the playroom downstairs, and the adults loved the amazing screened in porches. Thanks for a wonderful weekend away!

The views make the property.

We had a wonderful stay. The cabin was clean, and had everything we needed. The views are amazing and the screened-in porches were perfect for breakfast and dinner. We enjoyed the fire pit and s’mores. Shopping and dining are minutes away. We went hiking and tubing as well. The cabin is convenient to grocery stores, downtown Blue Ridge, and many activities. Bedrooms were just what we needed for our group. The host was responsive when we had questions.

My extended family took a group vacation to stay for the week in this house. It is exactly as described and pictured, and we couldn't have been happier with everything that was provided. Our primary issue had nothing to do with the owners, but to the lack of power and water from a storm that went through just prior to our arrival. The road up to the house was pretty narrow and steep, but we were prepared in a truck. The neighbors were very friendly! There were nearby grocery stores that made it easy to pick up food when we needed it. The house had plenty of amenities and everything was in great condition, except for one of the grills, which doesn't light properly and could be a hazard. The views from the house are gorgeous and the screened porches made spending time outside very enjoyable. There were plenty of supplies in the kitchen, the beds were comfortable, there was plenty of space for 10 guests to spend time, and we highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a getaway!

Quiet cabin close to town. Everything you need and a great view.

We couldn't be happier with our stay at Black Bear Ridge Cabin! Beautiful home and spectacular views. Host was very accommodating and communicative. Quick responses to any concerns or questions we had. We look forward to another vacation at this cabin.

Very amenable property for extended family 50th anniversary getaway—met all of our needs, including proximity to town and other attractions. We hope to return again!

Great location. We loved the house. Comfortable, clean and all the needed items. Great space.

Great time!

Our "framily" group of 8 had a wonderful relaxed stay at Kristy's property. Prior to our arrival I could tell that she was very attentive and responsive, as any questions or concerns were addressed with an immediate response. Upon arrival we could immediately tell that she believed in providing quality and a superior memorable experience. Everything that we needed was right at our fingertips and we never had to venture off the property, other than to take a walk. Morning coffee on the upper patio to watch the sunrise and evenings around the firepit allowed for the rest and relaxation that overworked group needed. There was enough space for us to dine together and spread out to enjoy our "own space" , but cozy enough to thoroughly enjoy each other's company. I highly recommend this property, but more specifically the host! I will admit that I'm hard to please and she exceeded my expectations. Great experience all around!

Over the top!!! Our family (10 of us) thoroughly enjoyed the use of the cabin this past week! It was perfect with space for everyone!! Really impressed with the little things: Snacks and smores ingredients and the supply of garbage bags, shampoo, dish and laundry soap. Very nice and thoughtful and not provided with other rentals we have stayed with. Would 100% recommend this cabin. Beautiful!

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The drive up the mountain to the cabin was scary but breathtaking. The town was wonderful and inviting. We missed the train ride but planning to try our next visit. The cabin was very welcoming and clean. All of the rooms were very comfortable. Wifi and reception was great the entire visit. Neighbors waved every time they drove by and even met a few pets (neighbor dogs) loved it!!!

The cabin was so nice clean roomy

We had a great time at this home. (5 adult couples) We loved the game room, hot tub and the views are gorgeous. The property can fit 5 cars perfectly and the drive up to the house was fun! The town is a short drive away for fun, foods and shopping. The men went to play golf at Old Toccoa Farm golf course (18-23 min drive) and loved it. The owners are very nice, helpful and quick to reply. No complaints here, we truly had a great stay!! We would come back again :)

We had a girls getaway at this cabin and it was perfect for our group! The cabin was very clean, there were plenty of comfortable beds for everyone, it was decorated well (& furnishings are high quality), and there was plenty to do! Ours was a group of 7 and we always had hot water for showers, space to gather, and activities to choose from. You do have a short climb on a narrow paved road, which gives you the feeling that you are hidden away on a mountain, but you are still close to town and all the stores. The owners provided great customer service and were very friendly & responsive! We had a wonderful time and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We stayed here for Christmas. There were 7 of us ranging in ages from10 to 67. The rooms were set up perfectly for us. It was less than 20°F everyday we were there but, the space and activities available indoors (as well as the fire pit outside) made our stay absolutely wonderful. We all had our space and could still be close when we wanted to be. The cabin is pretty much fully furnished with every kitchen item and condiment needed. If you don’t have something you need, send a message, and she will have it delivered to you promptly! Best host and best stay for Christmas we’ve ever had! HIGHLY recommend!!

We pulled into Blue Ridge and stopped at the grocery store, it began snowing. We got up the mountain before the chaos began, the city became a mess, wrecks and such. We had family members coming in a bit later and although as a general rule 4wd isn’t needed to reach the location with the amount of snow that fell the roads (all of them) became a slippery slope. My husband’s grandparents had to park at another house, that was perfectly fine, my mother and daughter parked on the side of the mountain for the night because an AC/heat truck ran off the side of the road and blocked all traffic. We trekked up the side of the mountain with suitcases in hand. When everyone arrived to the cabin, safely we enjoyed a beautiful night by the fire, while we ended up snowed in for the following almost 24 hours, we didn’t mind. We enjoyed family time sitting by the fireplace, playing family games as the cabin was completely stocked with all kinds of things to do. The cabin was absolutely gorgeous, warm, cozy and welcoming. It was stocked with all the necessities. The view was absolutely breathtaking. We couldn't have been more pleased. I stayed in contact with the owner during our stay, she was prompt in responding to messages and questions and open to suggestions. We have rented several cabins/houses in the past but this one was by far the most amazing of them all. The fully stocked s’mores station was icing on the cake! We will definitely be booking this cabin again.

Kristy went above and beyond to ensure our stay was magical. The cabin was impeccably clean and decorated for Christmas from the tree to the stockings to a little mailbox and stationery to write and mail Santa's letters. The hot tub was running and so welcoming. I would highly recommend staying at this beautiful home with your family/friends if visiting the Blue Ridge area. Thank you for the Gingerbread House. What a wonderful "Cherry on Top!"

Great location and property! Couldn't asked for a better place for our family vacation.

Me and my family enjoyed this home. Very clean, comfy and was well equipped

Our family got together to celebrate our Mom's 80th Birthday. This place was the perfect home & location for our gathering. Everyone had a great time. Plenty of space, screened in porches overlooking the Blue Ridge Mtns was simply stunning. The house was extremely clean and Kristy (property manager) was extremely responsive - excellent customer service. Highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to enjoy the Blue Ridge Mts!

We all had a good trip and visit. Everything was clean and easy to find. 10/10 would stay again.

Perfect cabin for a large group! Such a beautiful view and area. The drive up the mountain during this time of the year is BEAUTIFUL!

The cabin was perfect for our family plus grandparents (9 total). The views were absolutely amazing and being so close to town was a huge plus. We had plenty of room for everyone and the kids really enjoyed the games and hot tub on the lower level. Kristy was great to work with and very responsive. We highly recommend staying here!

This is by far the best VRBO in which we have ever stayed! Every last detail had been considered to elevate our stay from great to OUTSTANDING. We were ecstatic from the minute we opened the door with fall, seasonal music playing, to the cabin's cleanliness (spotless - even as a pet-friendly cabin...no sign of pets having stayed there), well-thought out gaming area, bbq, hot tub, and fire pit along with fresh and comfortable furniture and bedding sets. There was so much to take in - even to the point of the three screened -in balconies an, we knew this was THE PLACE TO BE! The cabin's location near town but still with a remote, beautiful landscape provided an ideal setting for our weekend getaway. Our family took advantage of nearby hiking, shopping in town, and relaxing., even with our 2 dogs. Truly, our 3 days/4 nights were not nearly enough...and neither is the 5 star rating nearly enough for this cabin and its thoughtful owner. Really well done and a must visit for the Blue Ridge area. We departed this morning with many memories and our hearts full. Kristen T. Rocklegde, FL

Property worked great for our multi-family reunion. Kitchen was well-stocked and the porch was comfortable and spacious.

Our group of seven adults really enjoyed our five nights at this cabin. The cabin had great amenities and had just about everything we needed, with the exception of a vegetable peeler and an ice cream scoop. Parking and unloading was easy. We loved sitting outside on the screened-in balcony with the rocking chairs, comfy couches and fire table! We were happy to find two grills available. The view is great, but there was some road noise from the city below, we noticed it was much quieter after the weekend. There was plenty of seating for seven of us in the living room for watching a movie together. The carved wooden dining table in the kitchen was big enough for the seven of us average sized adults. The downstairs provided a nice separate place for the younger ones to hang out, with a pool table, TV, games, and hot tub. The spacious upstairs king master bedroom has a private balcony with a view. The mattress was a bit too firm, however, and could have used a foam topper. One set of towels was provided. The fire pit outside was wonderful, and had plenty of seating. The neighborhood was quiet except for an occasional barking dog. The location is very convenient to shopping, dining, church, and outdoor attractions. After we left, we discovered one of us had left behind a wallet, so we contacted the manager. She was very helpful. She said housekeeping had found it, and she offered to ship it to us, but we were able to arrange to pick it up the next day.

Overall beautiful home in the mountains! Perfect size for our family of 8. Kitchen is well stocked with appliances/pots/pans. Location is ideal and very close to town of Blue Ridge and the lake. :) I am not sure how often people stay in the basement bedrooms but the bathroom down there could use a bit more lighting. It's very dark, especially if the shower curtain is pulled. Kristy has a great home and was an easy host to work with! Would recommend this home to other large groups.
