These days, it's virtually impossible to stay away from screens. There are computer screens at workplaces, TVs in living rooms, and the ever-present smartphones in our pockets or hands. After so much time on screens, taking a break and spending time in nature can feel fantastic. I love escaping to nature for a weekend, turning my laptop off, and putting my phone in a drawer. Bear Lake Lodge, a secluded cabin in Blue Ridge, Georgia, is the perfect place for a digital detox.

The two-bedroom, two-bathroom Airbnb accommodates four guests. The cabin has everything guests need to unwind, both indoors and outdoors. The cabin's walls and ceiling are covered in wood finishes, creating a beautiful natural paradise.

There are two luxurious bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with a queen. One of the bedrooms has expansive windows overlooking the porch and a gorgeous stone fireplace. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and opens to a comfortable living space. The living area has a sectional couch and stone fireplace, creating the perfect relaxing place for chilly evenings.

The outdoor spaces are where Bear Lake Lodge shines. A massive porch with comfortable seating and a hot tub is ideal for relaxing without screens. Guests can chat with friends in the hot tub, listen to music, or read a book on the porch. There's also a pergola with a lovely sitting area underneath. A firepit on the property creates incredible peaceful entertainment.

The three-acre property has a private lagoon and lake, which provide guests with stunning natural views. The water is also excellent for swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and tube floating. The property boasts a small private island that guests can access via two walking bridges. With so many things to do indoors and outdoors, guests will have no trouble unwinding without screens.

While the property is a luxurious escape from the hustle and bustle, it also has convenient access to two nearby towns: Blue Ridge, Georgia, and Ellijay, Georgia. Blue Ridge is a delightful small mountain town near fantastic wineries, like Bear Claw Vineyards and Serenberry Vineyards, as well as breweries, like Grumpy Old Men Brewing and Angry Hops Brewing. Mercier Orchards is a 300-acre family-owned orchard apple in Blue Ridge that sells fruit, bakery items, and cider. Ellijay is also a great city in Georgia with a historic downtown and wineries. It's also a fantastic place to visit in winter and comes alive for the holidays.
