MOTORCYCLES: Not recommended due to gravel road. ROADS: We drive a front wheel drive minivan and rear wheel drive SUV. Home is 0.3 miles up a typical mountain curvy gravel road. If you are not use to mountain roads they are narrow and can be a little intimidating at first but are part of the adventure of getting to a cabin in the woods. Gravel road can get challenging with a lot of rain or snow if not use to them. They really do change depending on the weather. We do not recommend a low riding car. If you are not use to mountain roads, we would recommend a large SUV or 4-wheel drive. Easy contact-less check-in. Home is located at the end of a cul-de-sac in Cherry Log Community. It is between Blue Ridge (5.9mi) and Ellijay (12mi). Road leading up to home is paved until the last 0.3 miles which is all gravel. Please follow directions we sent and not GPS. Home is located in Cherry Log Mountain community. There are trails throughout the community that can be accessed by walking down the roads. There is an abundance of wild life so keep a look out for Deer, Turkeys or Bear. There are 2 lakes towards the back. We would recommend downloading the Far Out App and get the Benton MacKaye trail off of it for hiking trails throughout the community. The Benton MacKaye trail can be accessed by walking down the hill from our cabin we have stairs leading down to it (once at the road look for the metal ramp and follow the trail with white diamonds) or you can walk down the gravel road 0.3 miles to the creek and jump on the trail. I can send you a map as well. The Benton MacKaye is over 300 miles long! In addition to the trails in Cherry Log we are 7 miles from downtown Blue Ridge where you will find lots of antique shops and restaurants. Hike the famous Appalachian Trail, visit Fall Branch Falls, or spend the day on the waters of Lake Blue Ridge. There is also the Expedition Bigfoot, Sasquatch Museum right down the road. The small town of Ellijay is about 13 miles South where you will find more antiques shops and restaurant. It is also known for its mountain bike trails. The roads in the community are mountain roads. If you are not use to them the first time might be a little intimidating but then they become part of the adventure. Kitchen is stocked and ready for vacation cooking. We work hard to have everything you need to cook comfortably while on vacation. If reservation is canceled during refundable period, a 4% credit card processing fee will be charged.

Ashly and Chad were beyond accommodating and helped us when we got stuck in snow on our first night. This cabin is very quiet, peaceful, cozy, clean, and has everything you need for a nice getaway. We even brought our dog who loved our daily hikes and sitting by the fire pit, or swinging on the swing. I would recommend all wheel drive if you come during the winter, as the roads in the area as well as on the mountains were very slippery. ##### Kate N.

Bear Necessities was exactly what I was looking for! Easy to get to (though an SUV is great on the mountain roads!), this cabin really helped us get away from it all. The loft was perfect for our kids who made it into their own little retreat when not playing in the yard or cuddling in the swing chair on the porch. The kitchen is cozy but had everything I needed to make some family dinners. The host was communicative and the directions and advice given through the app and website made everything easy and made us feel right at home. We look forward to a return visit soon! ##### Sarah G.

This cabin was near perfect! Very comfortable and cozy. There was plenty of firewood provided for the firepit. I have rented numerous times and this was the first time that firewood was provided. The view was wonderful (we stayed at the end of October and the Autumn leaves were beautiful). It is recommended that one feel comfortable with mountain roads but the nice part of navigating to the cabin was that it is quiet and tucked away (yet you are only about 10-15 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge). Overall, I highly recommend this cabin. It was wonderful. Ashley (the owner) communicated well she provided a good deal of helpful information. ##### Steven E.
