About this property

Bordering The National Forest. The Bear Affair Cabin.

The Bear Affair Cabin will romance you with its rustic charm and warmth.
This beautifully decorated, all wood, cozy cabin is nestled on the edge of
The Chattahoochee National Forest, with end of the road privacy, just six minutes from Helen. Close enough to see & do everything, far enough to feel like your miles away.

Bear Affair has everything you need to enjoy the serene outdoors. Each side of this adorable cabin offers a vista of the surrounding forest. Look closely and you might even see a deer bounding across the drive. Enjoy barbecuing and sampling some of the local favorites on the dining deck aglow in soft amber lights that illuminate the Chattahoochee National Forest.

Relax in your own fully furnished outdoor living room, complete with cushioned rockers and a love seat made for two or unwind in the warm, therapeutic waters of the spacious, private hot tub complete with a panoramic view of the surrounding forest and custom built stacked stone fire pit.

You wont leave behind the comforts of home as you sleep in the grand, king-sized log bed in the upstairs master loft bedroom, sip wine by the fire, or create a gourmet meal in the fully equipped kitchen. Come, relax and enjoy and begin your love affair with The Bear Affair. Bear Affair sleeps two. We've added a downstairs sofa-sleeper for a third party.

Please be advised that you are renting a cabin in the woods in the mountains of North Georgia. Most, but not all, roads are gravel and could have an incline or decline. If this is a concern to you based on your driving experience or vehicle you will be driving, please, have this conversation with our representative for more details on your specific property, prior to making your reservation.

There is a camera mounted on an exterior post of the front porch. It is only viewing the driveway.

Beautiful Getaway
This cabin was exactly as it was described. Easy to find and very beautiful! My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here and can't wait to go back! The hot tub was perfect and there were even card games for us to enjoy! Tracy was so nice and very easy to get in touch with! She suggested several things for us to enjoy as we were visiting Helen for our first time.

We had an amazing time. The cabin exceeded our expectations. The bed was comfortable, the water pressure was great. It was nice to NOT have to get toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap and trash bags. All of those things were stocked in the kitchen as well as coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and oil. I’m sure I forgot something but even the little things were already thought of. The hot tub was great after a day of hiking. Beautiful place. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Best place to stay for the holidays. They decorated the cabin beautifully. Alot of time and thought was put into this property. The hot tub was preheated for us upon arrival making chilly nights alot of fun. Besides traveling into Helen or the local area, we enjoyed nights staying in with a fire and movie going. This cabin was the perfect get away.

Perfect Cabin and Even Better Host
Not only is this cabin wonderfully maintained with everything you could ever need for a perfect weekend in the woods, the host/owner is next level! We unfortunately experienced hurricane Helene during our stay and woke up to not 1, but 3 trees on top of my vehicle. At 6:30am, when the owner saw me outside looking at the truck, she called to check on us and then proceeded to arrange a rental, tow truck, offered to extend our stay and made sure that we were taken care of with anything we needed. It was very appreciated and wonderful. We cannot wait to come back and enjoy or next weekend at this perfect little cabin in the woods, hopefully storm free!

Amazing honeymoon mostly thanks to the cabin
The cabin didn't leave much to be desired. It had all the essentials we have at our home. We liked the idea of being away from others but not so far away we couldn't reach anyone. So we enjoyed the cabins surroundings also.

Beautiful weekend getaway.
Just spent the weekend with my wife at the Bear affair. It was wonderful. The cabins is put together very well. Nice outdoor spaces in the hot tub and seating area under the porch and a sunny breakfast table on the uncovered porch. The cabin is about 5 feet from the national forest. There are neighbors but the cabin is situated in such as way as to still be very private.

Perfect place for a getaway!
This was the perfect place for a getaway. The cabin was very nice and was the perfect size for two people. Most of our days were spent in the outdoor living space. Even with the warmer Georgia summer season, the space was cool and pleasant. Perfect place to curl up with a book or a glass of wine! The lights outside just added to the coziness at dusk. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen was cozy, and the living room was perfect for a movie night. We will definitely be back!!
