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!

Great Location

Easy walk into town, but still has the feel like you are out in the woods by yourself when at the cabin. Close to the Country store for any items you need to grab. My son loved doing a fire nightly in the fire pit.

Wonderful time!

We love Black Bear Creek cabin & stay every year we come to Helen. Our favorite thing to do is sit outside on the deck surrounded by woods & listen to the tranquil creek. Blue Creek associates provide excellent service & support. The property is maintained well & always sparkling clean! I highly recommend staying with Blue Creek!
