We enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean and beatifully located in a great location. 2nd bathroom is bath not shower. Large dog next door seems friendly but runs loose coming over and barked constantly the first night keeping my son up all night. Beds are ultra firm.

Wonderful and peaceful stay on Hiawassee

Our stay was too short. It was so peaceful and comfortable here, that we wished we could have stayed longer. The house has everything you need and we loved the decor. Super clean too!

Perfect Rainy Getaway

Very remote clean and and private. We were ckose to downtown Hiawasse and downtown Helen. I was disappointed the grill was not working and there were no clear instructions on using the gas fireplace. The power wentvout on our last night but it was quickly restore. We really enjoyed thecrainy weekend.

Very clean cabin and somewhat remote location

It was better than average but still had a few things that could have been better! The claim that yard dogs are welcome is not what was claimed when renting. The dogs could be indoors and limited to 2 with maximum weight of 25 lbs. each. We had 1 dog at 15 lbs and we would never let her stay outside, particularly at this location.

Cute and clean

The cabin was cute and clean but lacked a working tv in the bedrooms. The view was pretty but the yard was a little rougher terrain than described and muddy. The clay was everywhere. We brought our dogs with us- BUT due to the many unleashed roaming neighborhood dogs, we could not walk them safely in the neighborhood, which was very disappointing. We had to drive into Hiawassee to take them to the parks in order for them to get any exercise. There was pet friendly dining in town and down in Helen.

Hiking the AT

The location for hiking the Appalachian trail was perfect. The house had a large living area, and the kitchen had everything you need. Unfortunately, we were unable to add apps to the TV as a code was required and the host was unable to give us the code or add the app, even though we would use our credentials. Also, the code to enter the house is 10 digits long and it took several times to get it to work and it had to be changed twice. The host was very responsive to the issue, so we didn't have to stay outside for more than 15 minutes.

A beautiful and comfortable Cabin in the Mountains

We were fortunate to stay at Bear Necessities as autumn arrived and the colors began to show their beauty. This is truly a wonderful cabin, with great attention being paid to the details of comfort, functionality and beauty. The sofa's, chairs and beds were all particularly comfortable, and the back porch was a quiet and peaceful place to share a glass of wine in the evenings. We were impressed with the quality of kitchen utensils (knives and silverware) along with really nice cookware (which is not always the case in a rental). The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with different appliances and supplies. We enjoyed being so close to Helen and Unicoi State park on one side, and the conveniences of Hiawasee, as well as Chatuge Lake on the other. And we were only a short drive away from several waterfalls and the lovely town of Dahlonega for other things to do. All in all an exceptional rental that we will plan to use again when we return to the area. Thank you to the owners for creating a remarkable place for us to stay!
