Wonderful Stay

Our stay at Black Bear Creek was great! The cabin was a perfect size for our party of four, with room to spare. Very clean inside and the outdoor amenities were amazing. The location to Helen was nice and close, but far enough that we didn't hear town noise. Check in and out process worked smoothly, will definitly stay here again!

Hideaway close to town

The location is great and very secluded even though it is within walking distance to some great food and Betty's Country Store.

Fall foliage and Oktoberfest weekend getaway.

OK, so the drive in through an industrial parking lot will raise the eyebrows, but... turn the corner into the driveway and the rest of the world disappears. The location is literally walking distance to N Main St but feels like it's in the middle of the woods. HUGE deck out back with lots of seating over the babbling creek. Great property and we expect to return!

Great location in Helen

The cabin was clean and cozy. The location was great as it's within walking distance to the main street in Helen, but felt very private since it's set back in the woods.

We had a wonderful time in Helen GA and this cute little cabin was the cherry on top! Great accommodations and perfect location to walk downtown. We loved having coffee by the creek in the backyard each morning! We will be back!

The property manager was super great to work with, very accommodating and responsive. Check in was easy, well equipped cabin. Enjoyed the fire pit and swing. Only thing we could say that could use some improvement is the flooring needs some reinforcing and some planks replaced, and although not completely needed as it's only about a 7 minute walk to town, some updated bicycles would be great. But overall a very nice cozy stay.

Cabin is in a great location behind the Helen Fun Factory, we walked everywhere over the weekend. The creek running underneath the back porch is very relaxing. Love coming to Helen so will keep this cabin in mind for future visits!

A nice cabin away from the noise

Some reviews state that the road back to the cabin is a little creepy at night… is a cabin so is better if located away from the town… still a very small walk , still a very safe location… enjoy it very much

Beautiful Location

The cabin location is beautiful. In the woods and lots of room. However, no instructions on the fireplace and the air conditioners needed cleaning before they would work. Place was clean, lots of dishes and towels and a nice walk to all the Helen Georgia events!

Change of Seasons

Coming up from the Hot South Florida weather, we enjoyed the cold weather and fireplace/pit nestled in a woodsy environment. Perfect little cabin for a short “not-so-far away from home” getaway. Helen is an adorable little town.

Lovely Helen

We stayed as a 3 day break on a road trip in the Deep South and then up to Washington DC. A welcome break in an interested "mock Bavarian" town. A great base to rest-up and relax and super-peaceful, but for the incredible sounds of nature. An unbelievably short walk into town which was great as parking in the evening looked challenging.

Lovely, quiet stay

What a cute cabin! Our kiddos loved it and called it our gingerbread house. It’s a very walkable distance to downtown (about 10 minutes), which was perfect. The cabin had plenty of space for our 4 person family. The back deck was nice and big, plenty of seating. It’s tucked away from major roads and other cabins, so it’s very private. We loved the fireplace! We will definitely consider this cabin again for future trips to Helen.
