Williebear Cabin

{Please note our guest for the summer was unable to visit. Reopened for booking June,July,August,September}Located in the Beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains overlooking the quaint little town of Clayton, Ga.Close to many activities or just to unwind. Whitewater River rafting, fishing golf great restaurants and a breath taking view of Black Rock Mountain and surrounding mountains. We are located 7 miles south of North Carolina and 5 miles west of South Carolina.If you are looking for Gatlinburg you might want to keep looking but if you would like to visit Gatlinburg we are an hour and a half due south.Most of the water in Georgia comes from our mountains and we are blessed with many lakes and rivers,the Chattooga being the crown jewel of the southern whitewater rivers.Lake Burton,Seed,Rabun,Tallulah and Tugelo,Yonah are all very close.Lots of activities in the area or just sitting on the porch and looking at a beautiful view.If you enjoy wine there are a good many vineyards. Helen the beautiful little Bavarian Town is 38 miles southwest and an easy drive.PLEASE NOTE being in the mountains this is a" mountain driveway "but it is short and all asphalt and very stable.USE LOW GEAR.Just redone 08/27/2023.Note for newcomers to the area there are books in magazine form called "The Wayward Traveler"on site with many things to do places to eat etc. Very informative and for your use.We also send a packet "snail mail" with many things to do and see.Unfortunately we do not have garbage pickup.We tried the cans but couldn't keep the bears out.Reverse order down the hill.When you getto Poly Gap and Curt Dodson turn left.Poly Gap will deadend into U.S.hwy 76 take a left dump mile on right.Please don't leave trash out at night.It will be a big mess in a.m. Thanks Bill S

Cozy and inviting.. home away from home.
The cabin is cozy and inviting. The mountain views are magnificent . Close to town, whitewater rafting and Tallulah Falls. We had a wonderful time. We can’t wait for our next trip back. The kids loved the views and catching fireflies. Wonderful Memories made. Thank you Bill and Karen for opening your cabin “Willie Bear” for others to share. As we ride home the kids are still talking about all the bears, views and walking around adventuring. They give you all thumbs up.

Mountain Escape
The rental was very charming. Mountain themed nick-knacks are everywhere. We saw something different each day. View was excellent too. We did a lot of hiking and spent a lot of time on the balcony recovering from the hiking while enjoying the view. We won't hesitate to return for our next mountain escape. PS, If you use Google Maps, it may send you the wrong way on Screamer drive. Turn left on Screamer and the driveway is 50 yards away. Googe Maps says go right.

We were in the area to do music for a wedding. This cabin is very nice. I personally think it is a little over decorated and cluttered. A few things didn't work properly. But that didn't effect our stay. Still a nice place, spacious, just needs a little TLC. It is for sale so this may be the reason things appeared to need some attention. Drive way is a little difficult to navigate.

Exactly as you see online. Bill was good with communication up to and during the stay. The driveway took some getting used to as I have full size pickup. But as stated it is freshly paved and solid. Great location to head out to see things in the surrounding areas.

Wonderful secluded cabin
Best rental property I've every stay in! Owners very attentive, property had everything in the kitchen to prepare meals, loads of firewood for the fireplace. All mattresses on beds where comfortable. Steep grade to cabin so low gear is a must! Lots of birds, squirrels and chipmunks! Will definely be back!

Very nice house
We loved our stay was very nice and very well supplied with everything. We usually bring what we need but if we forgot something they had it. The house was clean for mosr part, think cleaning company needs to improve for Bill And maybe update the pans? Wore out and rusty so did make cooking a little tuff. Would highly recommend staying here, Thanks Bill

Comfortable cabin in Clayton
The cabin was as listed. It is a roomy 3 level interior. Very convenient to popular tourist destinations. The views of Clayton and the mountains were very nice. The downside was the steep driveway with limited turnaround to go back down the driveway.

We enjoyed our stay at this side-of-the-mountain cabin! Although, it was a little tough with the little ones as they were very interested in all of the cute knick-knacks.

Beautiful Mountain Views-Large, clean and spacious
Had an amazing time at this cabin. Communication with the owner was absolutely top notch! Upon arrival the cabin was very clean and had plenty of room for our family. Fully stocked kitchen with everything we needed. Had steaks on the grill a few nights and enjoyed the view as we sat on the large patio. The driveway was a little steep, but after a few times driving to the cabin we became very comfortable navigating the way up. This cabin is the perfect location and only minutes from restaurants and stores. I highly recommend this cabin and we will absolutely stay again in the future.

A bittersweet experience
First the good: AMAZING VIEW from Screamer Mountain, Great communication with a great host, Bill. Plenty of space. Well supplied with essentials such as linens, towels, utensils, pots/pans, appliances, food storage bags, garbage bags, etc. Now the "not so good": Cabin is not clean at all - dust everywhere, vacuums clogged so do not pick up dirt on carpets or floors, it does not appear that flooring under the beds have ever been cleaned, upon arrival, beds had previous guests sheets and were unmade, and used towels were in a heap on the bathroom floor. I called Bill and he arranged for the cleaning crew to come while my family went out for dinner. I think all they did was make the beds with new sheets and hung new towels in the bathroom - cleaning was definitely not performed. And when we went to do laundry a few days later we were surprised to find the previous guests' wet sheets and towels in the washer. So before we could do our laundry, we had to move them to the dryer and finish what the cleaning crew should have done. The loft bedroom was unusable due to active drywood termite droppings on the bedding and pillows. The driveway is challenging to say the least, but you do get used to it after a few trips. Lastly, a suggestion to Bill: maybe lighten up on the cabin-style decorations so that guests have a place to set their own things on a few tables and dressers. All the decorations are nice but a few too many, and the cleaners cannot possibly clean properly.

Willie Bear Cabin = Pure Magic
We had the best time at the cabin this past weekend. Not only does it have the best view, but we were able to find the best hikes in the area too. We will definitely be coming back to this cabin in the future. As many other guests have mentioned, the driveway is certainly a bit of a challenge but it adds to the mystique of the cabin.
