Bear Hug Review

This cabin is a good place for two people, but in order for it to be a great place, several improvements need to be made. 1) Furnishings need to be updated. The couch was quite uncomfortable due to sagging cushions and the table for two was also quite uncomfortable as it was not possible to place your knees and feet under the table due to the table’s construction. 2) The back deck and gas grill was quite dirty. The screen door had numerous droppings on it. 3) A storm knocked out wi-fi and internet and tv coverage. When coverage returned it was not possible to watch You Tube TV because a member ID was needed. That member ID needs to be included in the guide about the cabin. My wife and I couldn’t watch tv for the remainder of our stay because we didn’t know the member ID.

Loved our vacation! The host communicated so great with us. It wasn’t far from Helen, GA. The bed was comfortable and the hot tub was amazing to soak in after a long day of exploring Helen and tubing! We will definitely be staying again in the future!

Romantic Get Away

The cabin was so cute! The hot tub was immaculate. My husband and myself are both clean freaks and I was so happy to see the hot tub was so clean along with the entire cabin. We stayed over Thanksgiving. The kitchen was fully equipped for that! I bright so many kitchen items that I thought I would need but the kitchen was very well equipped. Bed was comfy too. We def plan to come back! Very close to downtown Helen.

Quiet

Really enjoyed our time. Quiet close to town. It was funny dodging the acorns from the squirrels above on the back deck. It was a little tricky to find at first, but other than that nice place.

Peaceful and cozy stay

My wife and I chose this cabin for our 24th wedding anniversary 4 day weekend. The cabin was very nice and peaceful. Perfect size for a peaceful romantic getaway. The cabin was clean and cozy. The hot tub was wonderful even in the middle of summer. We enjoyed using the back patio grill as well. This property really had all you needed. It was so nice being very close to Helen but yet still far enough away that you did not have any of the traffic or noise. My only recommendations/suggestions are the pots and pans are old and worn and could be updated/replaced, there were flickering lights in the bedroom CF and living room CF, and the mattress needs to be replaced (the middle sags).

Very nice!

The cabin has everything that is needed to stay a long weekend minus food. The bathroom has plenty of room and plenty of hot water, Clean! It’s in a quiet area also. I recommend this to anyone that has a couple of nights to get away from the hassle at home. I’m not much for walking around in Helen because I don’t consider that rest, I’d rather lay around in the cabin. Oh yeah the hot tub is awesome also private and clean.

Great place to stay when visiting Helen, GA. Not just for the downtown activities but the perfect spot for all other sites and attractions. A lot better than staying in a hotel. Not hard to locate and easy accessibility. Would defiantly recommend. Thank you so much for the great experience.

Great spot

Good to know that it's a gravel road to get there. Nita gave great directions so be sure to follow that. Great amenities. A little awkward having the tub facing the other properties but the curtain that's installed helps a ton. Bed was AMAZINGLY comfortable and it was wonderfully quiet. Would definitely stay here again.
