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.

Cute Cabin
Everything was clean and fully stocked. Fire pit out back was so fun to make s’mores with the kids. Plenty of games and activity tables. Gas fireplace was warm and cozy. I highly recommend staying here.
The cabin was absolutely beautiful, very clean and well stocked. Towels, pots and pans. My family really enjoyed our stay! The back porch is amazing the view and listing to the water from the creek so relaxing

Lazy Bear is the way to go!
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.
A Great location, Fantastic area. Was great to have fun with friends amd family. Plenty of room to relax , play board games and cards and enjoy the weekend. Thanks so much.
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!

We had a fun and relaxing stay!
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!

Short Family Getaway
This is the second time staying at this location,and like last time it was perfect. Some modifications have been made since last year, only enhanced the stay even more. The cabin is in the perfect spot for Helen or Cleveland. Definitely coming back again, and again.
My family and I and the most wonderful and memorable time at the cabin. We made some unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime. The house was beautiful and spacious and the yard was peaceful. Thank you for letting us be there!

About the host
Hosted by owner/property manager
We LOVE Helen and the GA mountains. We purchased this cute cottage on a private creek front property with guests in mind! We wanted to be able to share this place and our favorite mountain town with everyone and this cottage is PERFECT for couples or families looking to get away from the busy lifestyle and be LAZY and enjoy nature! We certainly love running away to our little cottage on occasions and hope that you all LOVE this place as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
We wanted to be able to share a space with incoming guests that was both private and close to Helen and hiking trail and all the wineries! We think we found the perfect spot and right on a creek too which is super peaceful in the mornings!
What makes this property unique
Private creek from the cottage with a short drive into downtown, also you can get to Clarkesville quickly and the wineries! You have 3+ acres of privacy and a winding creek through the property to enjoy watching the small fish and other wildlife that love the creek!
