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 perfect weekend getaway!
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.

Lazy Bear Cottage
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.

My family loved our stay and want to return for future visits.
Lazy Bear Cottage provided a cozzy home feeling for my family. There was plenty of room for all. There were both indoor and outdoor activities that were loved by all ages. My 7 year old grandson hasn’t stopped talking about it and wants us to buy it. I recommend that any family like ours, parents, children and grands stay here. It would also work well for a group retreat. We also enjoyed activities in Helen.

About the host

Host profile image
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!
