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.

Hideaway close to town

The location is great and very secluded even though it is within walking distance to some great food and Betty's Country Store.

Great place to stay in Helen!

We had a wonderful time in Helen GA and this cute little cabin was the cherry on top! Great accommodations and perfect location to walk downtown. We loved having coffee by the creek in the backyard each morning! We will be back!

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, 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.

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.

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

Your representatives were great and quick to respond to our needs. House keeping was great.

The biggest problem we experienced was the lack of comfort of the beds. I realized that fixing this issue would be very expensive to your budget, and being that it is a rental property, it would be costly to maintain quality beds and furniture. But we left a day earlier because our back pain. However, your people treated us very well and the grocery store a few blocks away was very helpful as well. The thing we enjoyed most about our time there was the creek that runs under the deck of the “Black Bear Creek Cabin” very tranquil, and relaxing. Thank you for that experience.

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!

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!!

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.

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.

Great getaway!

We booked this trip long before we knew of hurricane Helene. We decided to take the chance and head down from Kentucky anyway. The cabin we originally booked had no power, with no ETA on when it might. They graciously offered us a different cabin that did have power located closer to town. The cabin was clean, well maintained, and in walking distance to all the fun in Helen. We had a great time!! Thank you Blue Creek Cabins for working with us in a trying time and making our weekend getaway great!!

Cute and rustic

Cabin was rustic and cute. Setting was a little weird being behind the fun center and not what we were expecting. It was not as close to the busy parts of town and definitely wouldn’t walk to get to the shops and restaurants. But it was very quiet and the sound of the creek was peaceful. Would be great to take a nap in the hammock in the warmer seasons! Loved the fireplace. Comfortable stay.

Very pleasant mini vacation getaway

We really enjoyed our stay. The view was beautiful with the fall colors and leaves falling. The grill was brand new and worked beautifully. Bed was comfy. Kitchen was clean and adequate - only suggestion would be a few more pots/pans options and cooking utensils, and a salt shaker. The swing, hammock, and light bulb lights outside were so enjoyable. And the stream! So peaceful. Loved the fireplace as well. We would definitely come back!

Week getaway

Property is set back in a wooded area with a shallow creek running along the house. Very quiet and secluded, yet within walking distance of Helen (less than half a mile to downtown). The only downside was the internet buffering during movies (not a big deal, just frustrating). Air conditioning is via window units, but the house is cool and comfortable.

Wilderness and walking distance

Great place close to Helen city center. The cabin sits in the forest and has a gurgling stream right next to it, which makes it feel as if you are staying in the wilderness. Nevertheless, you can reach Helen’s city center within a 10 minutes walk and therefore skip the parking lot fees. We really enjoyed this combination. The bottom bunk is a bit narrow and more of a cubby, but the kids still had a great time. The cabin had everything we needed to stay comfortable. It’s a fun and rustic place to explore Helen and some of the surrounding attractions.
