Private, quiet and peaceful
Very private, quiet and peaceful location. It rained most of our stay, but the lake and leaves were so pretty. We had games, puzzles and lots of channels on the rain days. The manager was very friendly and even left us a little gift when we arrived. We really did have everything thing we needed except for food. Thanks for a wonderful visit.

Little piece of heaven
We were looking for a nice long weekend to unwind and relax… this place was it! The lake was peaceful and beautiful! The view from the property was amazing! Fishing from the dock and boat relaxing! Teaching our youngest pup to “dock dive” so much fun! The cabin has everything you need! Marc is a great host!

Fishing Cabin
Everything went great and the fishing was phenomenal. Definitely some of the best largemouth, small mouth, and pike fishing that I've had on smaller lakes up north. The fishing boat with a small gas engine was a nice touch and worked great for getting around the lake. The welcome bag of wine, meat, and cheese was great as well. The deck was a perfect place to eat meals and perfect having both a gas and charcoal grill on the deck available for grilling. Would definitely come back in a heartbeat!

About the host

Hosted by MARC H EDWARDS

Host profile image
Baby Bear was the 2nd of the 4 houses purchased in the Atlanta area. The 3 Bears are all next to one another and this one is in between Mama and Papa Bear. Goldilocks is on sandy Clear Lake 10 minutes north of the Bears.

While the smallest of the 4 homes, it has the most charm.

Why they chose this property

This house is often rented in conjunction with Papa Bear given it's location next door. This is great for family reunions or larger groups of friends and is discounted by 33% when rented as a group.

What makes this property unique

This Permalog home is very energy efficient - warm in the in the winter and cool in the summer with one small A/C unit. The new green metal roof with skylights add charm and really lights up the living room.

The new bathroom has a jet tub and was completely redone in 2012. The kitchen is fully stocked and the 49" HDTV has most all of the Direct TV channels including HBO and sports channels.
