Beautiful home with lots to do

This is a beautiful house with lots to do and the owner was very responsive. Family enjoyed fishing right across the street, playing the video games, and relaxing in the hot tub. It is a short distance from downtown Helen so nice to be out of the crowds but have easy access. House was very clean and had everything we needed.

Weekend getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend here. The location is great, close to Helen, but out far enough for quiet and privacy! There is so much to do at the cabin, we didn’t feel like we had to leave at all! Though we did enjoy exploring the area. Communication was great and we had all the information we needed.

Cozy Cabin

This property is spectacular! Location is great - out of town but not that far. Cabin was cozy and roomy. Great place to come back to after tubing, rafting, zip lining, and all the outdoor activities you can think of. Enjoyed down by the river playing horseshoes and lighting a fire. And the hot tub. We will be back in the future. I highly recommend this cabin.

Perfect Location

Big Bear is close enough to town that it doesn’t feel like an inconvenience to go do things, yet it is far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. The owner was very helpful and quick to respond to questions. The cabin is right on the river so we could enjoy nature at its best. My only regret was not getting to see a bear during our stay.

Everything you could ask for

Had a great stay at Stacy's cabin! Everything was extremely clean and very comfortable. Plenty of room for a 3 bedroom, very homey feel, and all amenities you could ask for. We loved the hot tub, arcade games, and fire pit by the river! Quiet neighborhood/street, and only a few minute drive to Helen. Fully paved road all the way to the cabin and plenty of parking (was important to us). Very easy communication with Stacy. Would stay again without hesitation!

Cozy Cabin on the River!

We loved everything about our stay here. The house was fantastic with so many amenities. Absolutely loved watching the hummingbirds come up to the top deck to feed, drinking coffee and watching/hearing the river flow, and the games and hot tub downstairs! This place was super cute with all of the themed items of bear country. Owners were great and gave lots of added notes and directions for ease of use of the property. Traffic in Helen was hectic but a quick drive down to Cleveland made our food tour awesome. Clyde’s Tavern, North Georgia BBQ and Hoochee’s River Basket were all delicious choices for meals. Great stay for us and we would love to come back again!!

Big Bear Cabin

The cabin is beautiful and perfectly located. It's only minutes from downtown Helen and seconds from enjoying the Chattahoochee River. It is very clean and comfortable. You have your own private fenced in area on the river with easy access, chairs, picnic table, fire pit, and awesome horseshoe pits! You are also only 1 mile from Cool River Tubing and their fun obstacle course. Oh yeah, the tubing course doesn't come by the cabin, your area is very peaceful! The owners are super nice and very easy to communicate with. We will be returning for a longer stay next time! Enjoy!
