Great family vacation with great host!

We had a great time. The property and home are amazing. Host was very accommodating and helpful when needed. Home could use a good cleaning but overall we would not hesitate to stay here again. Overall it was a perfect accommodation for a large family vacation. Looking into planning another visit in the summer. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Harris!!!

The moment i booked my stay randy (the host) immediately call me to ensure the needs in my stay. Everyone from the group enjoyed their stay. There’s plenty of rooms for 18 people. Randy and Becky went above and beyond accomodating us and anticipating our needs. They’ve been very helpful also reccomending stuff to do around the are. I highly reccomend this place and looking forward to book here on our next trip.

Great Family Location

We had 13 staying this past weekend . . from 8 months to 65! There was plenty of room for all. Randy and Becky are great hosts and are available on the property for any issues. The kitchen was wonderful for preparing meals. The view spectacular for early morning coffee or late night chats! The rooms are spacious and the beds comfortable!

One of a kind

Our large extended family fit very comfortably in the home. The home was stocked with everything we could possibly need or use. We enjoyed the outdoor activities including fishing, kayaking, and watching the hummingbirds from the back porch. The animals are a huge hit, the kids look forward to the daily walks with the goats. 10/10 would recommend this property and owners!

Fun In the mountains

We absolutely loved our stay!! Randy and Becky are the gems of the Georgia Mountains! They did EVERYTHING to make us feel comfortable and welcome! We loved interacting with their animals (a little sad they wouldn’t let us take Cooper and a goat home, but fine). Anything we needed they were willing to provide! Amazing hosts. We will be back eventually!

Fantastic Experience!

My company selected Bear Ridge Lodge for a manager retreat/team building experience, and we couldn't have made a better choice! The property was beautiful, the owners (Randy & Becky) were extremely hospitable and friendly, and the house was gorgeous! There was plenty of room for everyione to spread out, and the common areas were more than large enough to hold everyone. The house has everything you need for a fantastic mountain getaway. Everyone had a blast. I highly recommend this property!

Tranquil and peaceful

Bear Ridge Lodge is a great destination for relaxation and tranquility. Randy and Becky were the most gracious of hosts (as were Cooper the pug, Cam Newton and his harem of lady goats, the turkeys, chickens, ducks etc). We were three generations celebrating our parents' 50th anniversary and everyone found something fun to do despite the rain! Lovely home, lovely people. Hope to see you again sometime. If you ever get to Ohio, come see us at our cafe!

The Last Senior Hurrahhh!

All I have to say is that this was the PERFECT place for us to take our group of 16 to stay for their senior year trip. Everything about it was exactly as described, and the service and host interaction was very helpful. Randy called multiple times to check and see if we needed anything when he went into town, etc. We didn't feel like a bother at all and they were incredibly accommodating. It was overall so beautiful, peaceful, fun, and amazing!

Exceptional stay at Bear Ridge Lodge

Our family had a great time staying at Randy and Becky’s lodge. They were great and responsive to anything we needed. They allowed our kids to feed the goats, ducks, chickens, and rabbits. Our kids, especially my older son, learned a lot when we stayed at the lodge on New Years Day. I wanted to respond to another review regarding the road to the lodge, it was one lane (gravel, dirt, paved), but there were not many homes on the road and we never met another vehicle coming or going from the property. The view of the lake and falls from the lodge were absolutely beautiful. Love staying here and hated that we had to leave. We hope to stay here again and would definitely recommend.

Annual Family Cabin Trip

This cabin deserves a perfect 10! For more than 25 years, our extended family (now 21 people plus several infants) has enjoyed our MLK weekend together in a cabin. This cabin was absolutely everything we needed....plenty of room, great floor plan, beds for everyone, fun things to do, chickens, paddle boat and canoe, easy fish to catch, woods to walk in, a "mule" to travel in, and a treasure hunt. God smiled on us with beautiful weather and we enjoyed it all! Randy and Becky were delightful and so very accommodating. We had a fabulous time! We will be back!

Post and Beam Log Home in the Georgia Mountains

This big gorgeous home is at the end of a mountain trail and boasts large spacious bedrooms, a huge, well-appointed kitchen, a wraparound porch, and terrific temperature control. It truly is as beautiful as the images portray. We hosted a family reunion for 25 people across two properties (only 15 folks stayed at the lodge). The home had lots of space for small groups to reconnect. We got plenty of laughs from the rocky, single lane approach road to the house, but most of us had rented SUVs so everyone enjoyed the adventure! We also brought all the food we needed and didn't plan for anyone to head out and grab meals. Truly--it was a lovely space.

Great getaway with the family

First and foremost, thank you Randy and Becky for welcoming us into your home. We enjoyed our stay. To prospective renters, no need to look anywhere else. This is the best place in the area. This home is beautiful. The private lake is perfect. You catch fish off the dock by the dozens. We were there for spring break to get away from it all and this was perfect. Secluded. But close enough to some neat areas, such as the Appalachian Trail and Dahlonega, that you can get to civilization quickly. Randy and Becky were just wonderful. They were there to help us the entire time. Loved the chickens. Can't wait to see you on Coop Dreams! Thanks again.

Beautiful setting!

Our four families stayed at Bear Ridge Lodge last weekend for the peak of the fall foliage. The property is gorgeous. The views from the deck out over the pond and surrounding mountains provided a much-needed break from the Atlanta traffic and our otherwise busy lives. The overall layout worked well for our group- four bedrooms that provided each adult couple with their own space (along with some of the bedrooms having trundles for the little ones to stay with mom and dad without having to share the bed) and a fifth bedroom with trundles that worked perfectly for our four tween/teen girls. We are big cooks so the huge kitchen was a real bonus. The 73” tv in the main living space was wonderful for watching football; however, there was not a second common area for putting on a game so some of our party ended up watching their game in the master bedroom. The owners, Randy and Becky, live on site above the garage. This works wonderfully for when you need help figuring out how to work the grill/hot tub/fans/lights/anything! Randy was fantastic in that regard. Always helpful and offering multiple times to get us anything we needed. However, if you’re looking for a place with complete solitude with no owner on property this might not be the place for you. We didn’t mind but just thought it should be noted!

Our family of nine had an amazing time at Bear Ridge Lodge. Randy and Becky were welcoming and accommodating in every way. Our kids and grandkids loved walking the goats wirh Randy as well as being with the ducks and chickens. They also enjoyed the paddle boat and kayak. The king size beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We also had an unlimited supply of firewood for the wonderful fireplace which was especially appreciated by Nana.

Christmas Trip

Our group (17 total) stayed there during Christmas week. The cabin had everything we needed and it was exactly like the pictures. We used the fire pit for smores and the hot tub. The owner was very nice and helpful. He gave us a tour and explained everything during check in. Check out was easy. The property is secluded, which we loved because it was quiet. We loved it and would definitely return.

We stayed here with friends and family for our fall break! Excellent location with all the amenities! Home is clean and beds are super comfy! Excellent water pressure in the showers! Hot tub was clean, fish pond was fully stocked and my son caught 50 fish (catch and release) in 3 days. Managing owners live on property and are friendly and accommodating.
