Lazy Bear Cottage | 3BR 3BA Creek Front Retreat | Game Room | Hot Tub | Creek

Lazy Bear Cottage - Animal-Free Home

Come enjoy the lazy lifestyle at Lazy Bear Cottage, only 10-minute drive from downtown Helen! We have your family covered at this extremely private creek front cottage. You have 3.2 acres to roam and enjoy the wildlife as you sit out on the large screened-in covered back deck or soak in the 7-Person hot tub spa also screened-in! With your family in mind we have stocked the kitchen with all your cooking needs and have a Keurig/Drip coffee maker to enjoy a cup of locally roasted coffee from Jumping Goat Coffee Company (Our favorite is the Southern Pecan). Enjoy grilling out off of the main floor front deck and step right into the large family room with a beautiful 8 seater table where everyone can sit and enjoy family time!

The master bedroom is located conveniently on the main floor and boasts a large king bed with ensuite full bathroom. Sliding door onto the screened-in porch to enjoy the sounds of the creek first thing in the morning or slip out with your morning cup of coffee to enjoy nature! Don't worry there is plenty of room for others if you still want to bring them to this wonderful peaceful paradise! In this cabin we have three other guest bedrooms. Upstairs is another King Luxurious Bed with ensuite and Smart TV, downstairs you have a guest bedroom with Queen bed. Downstairs also has a game room with foosball, Smart TV, and a futon bed to sleep another 2 people if desired!

Right off of the game room, you can walk outside to a screed-in and covered patio where your large hot tub awaits! We drain, clean, refill and set to heat for each guest so that you just have to step out and enjoy. You have views of the sprawling hillside and creek that regularly have wildlife to enjoy watching such as deer, squirrels, birds, and the occasional turtle that likes to creep on by!

We created this private creekside cottage so that we could help families share memories together. We have lots of board and card games, a multigame table, and a fun casino-style bar to enjoy laughs through the night in the large living room with a seasonal gas fireplace. You will fall in love with the warmth and comfort you find at Lazy Bear Cottage.

The cabin was beautiful and very secluded in the woods! We loved that we were close enough to town, but just far away enough to escape it all.

This cabin is located in a great location with easy access to Helen and surrounding sights with lots of hiking trails. It is well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, coffee makers, and kitchen utensils. We were fortunate enough to meet the owner who is a super host. He goes beyond to make sure his guests have everything they need. The cabin is clean and well maintained. We do plan to stay here again!

We had a fun and relaxing Thanksgiving week at Lazy Bear Cottage! With the chill in the air we enjoyed keeping warm with the fireplace inside and had a fire in the outside fire pit every evening. The cabin had everything needed for our stay. Spent a day in Helen and hiked up to see Ana Ruby Falls another day. Enjoyed our stay and recommend to everyone coming to north Georgia!

I loved the privacy and the ample amount of parking for this cabin! When we got in we found everything you would need for a trip and the house was clean and ready to go. The creek out back was beautiful.

10/10

We stayed for a long weekend as 2 families of 4 with 4 adults and 4 teenagers. The setup of the house was perfect with two master suites and lots of room for the teenagers downstairs. The house was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed Helen and the surrounding area and are hoping to return for the fall colors!

I can't say enough good about our stay. The location was great and the cabin had everything we needed. My kids and brother had a blast playing darts,ping pong,pool, and air hockey! The hot tub was perfect for relaxing in the evening. My favorite part was the creek. It was so peaceful. I can't recommend this cabin enough. We will definitely be coming back.

We loved it. The creek was awesome. We thought the stocked pond would be bigger but it was cute. We didn't catch anything but had fun trying. It rained for 2 days so the hot tub was used a lot. We loved the large dining room table.

The cabin was absolutely perfect for our family! The proximity to downtown Helen and the other state parks made it ideal for being able to pop in and out between nap times with the kids. We honestly enjoyed the little town area of Sautee the most, and there was a park just down the road. It was also the most well stocked house we’ve rented, and didn’t even have to use the extra supplies we had packed. Our kids loved having a bonfire each night and running around all the property during the day. It’s the perfect combination of getting away from all the busyness of Helen, but still being close enough to get into town. All of us wish we had made this a longer trip!

We have rented a lot of cabins in Helen but this one by far was my favorite. With 5 kids there was plenty of room and things to keep them busy. Friday was a rainy day so we spent most of the day inside playing games that was at the cabin when we arrived. The creek is amazing to listen to on the porch in the mornings or while relaxing in the hot tub. We will definitely be back. We always stay at a different cabin every time but I think we found our forever cabin. Thanks for a wonderful weekend..

We stayed here with our extended family, our kids, their spouses, and families...we had a party of ten at the cabin. The space is well stocked, and really comfortable. The 3 adult couples had privacy, and the kids had their own play and sleep space! We LOVED the upstairs/main level balcony as a regular hangout. The kids and adults loved playing and sitting in the creek in the back yard, and the firepit was a great place to relax late into the evening. The property had LOTS of wildlife, we saw an armadillo in the evening near the firepit, a raccoon and deer in the backyard while relaxing in the creek, had an early morning visit from a bear in the front yard, and saw a small herd of deer and a brown owl early one evening when returning from town. I highly recommend Lazy Bear Cabin, and plan to rent again in the future. The Location is super convenient too, as it's a short drive to many local tourist places.

This is a great quiet property close to so many highlights in the area. We enjoyed a German meal in Helen, spent a day at Unicoi/Anna Ruby Falls, and did a lot of relaxing at the house. It had everything we were looking for - beautiful private scenery, hot tub, fire pit, close to hikes/natural attractions. Since it was winter, we didn't explore the creek, but it would be perfect for my 3 young kids to play in during warmer months! (And the reason I'm looking into another trip here in summer!) Just sitting by the firepit listening to the bubbling water was great this time. There's plenty of space for kids to run around outside and explore without even leaving the property. Wi-fi is fast and can handle multiple streaming devices. The house was well-stocked with everything (plenty of towels without having to do laundry all the time), kitchen was well organized as was everything else you could be looking for (all the labels and signs were helpful). If we come back to the area, I would look to book this house again.

The cabin was very nice and had everything you would need and was close to everything! I loved how it had plenty of gaming tables and game options to help entertain during the evenings or downtime. The hot tub was great to soak in after spending a day in town or hiking! The best feature in this rental was the shampoo and bodywash in every shower! Wish that was normal in every rental, made it so nice and easy! Only 10 minutes from helen and close to so many hiking trips and falls. Never seen much wildlife but a bear did get into one of the trashcans one night. Even had it strapped shut but it drug it away and broke it enough to get in. Was cool that one was near at least. Loved the screened in porches on top and bottom, that was a huge addition to this place! Loved sitting out back and watching and listening to the creek flow and never getting ate up by bugs. The only downfall to the place was the 1/2 mile drive off the hwy. About a 1/4 of it was rough and gravel on a steep incline. Made it up every time at least though. That and the 12 drip coffee maker didn't work well. Recommend 10/10

We enjoyed our stay at this rental. It is just about 5-1/2 miles to Helen. The property is beautiful, especially the creek in the back yard. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The house is well maintained and very clean. Plenty of games. There isn’t a bathroom on the main level in the living room area, so everyone has to use the master bedroom bathroom, or go upstairs to the bedroom-bathroom upstairs. The master bathroom has an automatic light/fan than comes on when you go in. It stays on about 15 minutes, which is annoying when you get up during the night and the light and fan stays on. It also turns off while you are showering and you have to shake the shower curtain to turn it back on. The master bed sinks towards the middle. The road leading to the cabin is gravel, and the hill leading in was quite bumpy and rutty. I’m sure it has to be maintained regularly, and maybe that will be repaired soon. There was plenty of parking for all our family’s vehicles. The hot tub is huge, and everyone really enjoyed it. My grown kids enjoyed the fire pit near the creek. I would definitely recommend this home for a group or large family.
