Home Details for 287 Shetland Trace

Nestled amidst the whispering trees and gentle slopes of the award-winning Big Canoe community—just an hour north of Atlanta—stands Bear’s Lair, a one-of-a-kind Aspen style log frame home. With 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and a host of artistic and rustic features, Bear’s Lair offers the kind of mountain retreat that wraps itself around you the moment you step through the front door. Turnkey and ready for new memories, it is not merely a cabin—it is a living work of art, thoughtfully designed to celebrate the spirit and serenity of its woodland surroundings.  As you approach, the home’s partially wooded lot and circle driveway invite you to slow down and appreciate the tranquil setting—only two minutes from the Big Canoe main gate.  Step inside and you are greeted by soaring ceilings that make the main living area feel both spacious and intimate. The artistry of the cabin is evident in every detail: rich wood textures, creamy stone accents, and windows that frame the natural light like paintings. Bear’s Lair is thoughtfully laid out across three levels, each offering a full bedroom suite—perfect for hosting family, guests, or embracing solitude. The terrace level features a separate entry, transforming it into an ideal guest suite or private apartment complete with its own kitchenette, bedroom, and bathroom.  The main level is the heart of the home. Bathed in natural light, it is a sanctuary for relaxation. Imagine curling up by the crackling fire with a beloved book or sipping your favorite beverage as dusk settles over the forest. The open-plan living area flows seamlessly into the kitchen and dining spaces, making it perfect for entertaining or enjoying quiet evenings with loved ones.   Upstairs, you will find a bedroom suite with a full bath, as well as a cozy den. The den is versatile—it can be transformed into an office, studio, or even a fourth bedroom.  The outdoor spaces are designed to bring the magic of the mountains to every gathering and quiet moment. Step onto the expansive wraparound deck and you’ll find several distinct areas for relaxing, dining, and entertaining. The centerpiece is a beautifully crafted stone fireplace—a natural focal point where stories are shared and memories are made.  On the lower level, another stacked stone fireplace nestles within a screened porch, creating a cozy year-round retreat.  If you’re looking for the quintessential cabin in the woods that can be a full-time home or an income producing investment, you have found it!
