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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

So Peaceful!

Wonderful place to stay in Helen, Georgia. This is our second time at Black Bear Creek cabin and we have already booked again for October. This cabin is perfect, close enough to walk to town, but yet secluded & away from all the noise. So relaxing, sitting on the back porch listing to the creek! Everything you need is at the cabin to cook a great meal. We will stay at this cabin every time we come to Helen!

Quick Helen Getaway

Cute cabin. Loved the back deck and the hammock. Definitely in walking distance to pretty much all the Helen activities. Only complaint was the queen mattress in the share room with the bunk beds has a very significant dip in the center, uncomfortable for 2 people to sleep on.

Cute little cabin in the woods!

The cabin was perfect for our family of 5. We enjoyed being out of the busy area of downtown. We were slightly concerned arriving at night because it is back behind some businesses and we were sure we were lost but there are signs to assure you are on the right path. The bunk beds could use a little tightening but it wasn’t terrible. (Squeaky) overall we were pleased with our stay!!

Quiet Getaway

This little gem was quite a surprise. We weren’t sure as we make the turn onto the rental road, but as we turned in the driveway we saw a cute little rustic German cottage. The backyard deck and living area was quaint and so relaxing. It was very close to town as well. We found it quite walkable.
