When the temperature drops, trade the gray for a warm mountain weekend. The Bear Necessity is a 2,600-square-foot cabin in the North Georgia mountains near Ellijay — fireplace crackling, hot tub steaming, and plenty of room to spread out with the people you like best.

Warm up in the Blue Ridge

• Stacked-stone gas fireplace (seasonal, late October through early April)
• Private hot tub with quiet forest views
• Vaulted-ceiling great room made for slow mornings
• 100-inch home theater for movie marathons
• Retro game room — arcade, air hockey and foosball
• Fenced dog run, because your pup is family too

Room for everyone

Three bedrooms sleep six, with a full chef’s kitchen, a seven-foot dining table, a screened porch and an outdoor fire pit. Come for a long winter weekend or a quiet midweek reset.
