About this property

Bordering The National Forest. The Bear Affair Cabin.

The Bear Affair Cabin will romance you with its rustic charm and warmth.
This beautifully decorated, all wood, cozy cabin is nestled on the edge of
The Chattahoochee National Forest, with end of the road privacy, just six minutes from Helen. Close enough to see & do everything, far enough to feel like your miles away.

Bear Affair has everything you need to enjoy the serene outdoors. Each side of this adorable cabin offers a vista of the surrounding forest. Look closely and you might even see a deer bounding across the drive. Enjoy barbecuing and sampling some of the local favorites on the dining deck aglow in soft amber lights that illuminate the Chattahoochee National Forest.

Relax in your own fully furnished outdoor living room, complete with cushioned rockers and a love seat made for two or unwind in the warm, therapeutic waters of the spacious, private hot tub complete with a panoramic view of the surrounding forest and custom built stacked stone fire pit.

You wont leave behind the comforts of home as you sleep in the grand, king-sized log bed in the upstairs master loft bedroom, sip wine by the fire, or create a gourmet meal in the fully equipped kitchen. Come, relax and enjoy and begin your love affair with The Bear Affair. Bear Affair sleeps two. We've added a downstairs sofa-sleeper for a third party.

Please be advised that you are renting a cabin in the woods in the mountains of North Georgia. Most, but not all, roads are gravel and could have an incline or decline. If this is a concern to you based on your driving experience or vehicle you will be driving, please, have this conversation with our representative for more details on your specific property, prior to making your reservation.

Perfect quick trip to the mountains

We had a great weekend in the mountains. This property is very close to Helen but we coming back to our private spot at the end of the day. The property was super clean and had all the creature comforts. We loved the Christmas decorations. Thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful, Quiet Cottage

Loved our stay. It was exactly what we hoped. You felt like you were by yourself in the woods, but it was close to Helen with all the town and area had to offer. Tracy was super responsive. She answered questions in minutes. It had little “nice to haves” like a USB charging hub by the bed. I had to work one day and the internet worked well. I would definitely return.

LOVE IT!

We loved our stay here so much that we asked if we could extend our stay an extra night which was happily granted. Everything was perfect, far enough away from everything and everyone, but yet close enough for all that Helen and the surrounding area have to offer. We WILL be back!

A wonderful place to relax and leave the “real world” behind for a while. My wife and I loved the hot tub. The pull out sofa was perfect for curling up to watch a movie. The driveway is long and narrow but we had no issues navigating it in our small SUV. Just follow the advice on the signs about driving slowly. Tracy was responded very quickly to the only question we had during our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Getaway

This cabin was exactly as it was described. Easy to find and very beautiful! My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here and can't wait to go back! The hot tub was perfect and there were even card games for us to enjoy! Tracy was so nice and very easy to get in touch with! She suggested several things for us to enjoy as we were visiting Helen for our first time.

We had an amazing time. The cabin exceeded our expectations. The bed was comfortable, the water pressure was great. It was nice to NOT have to get toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap and trash bags. All of those things were stocked in the kitchen as well as coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and oil. I’m sure I forgot something but even the little things were already thought of. The hot tub was great after a day of hiking. Beautiful place. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Best place to stay for the holidays. They decorated the cabin beautifully. Alot of time and thought was put into this property. The hot tub was preheated for us upon arrival making chilly nights alot of fun. Besides traveling into Helen or the local area, we enjoyed nights staying in with a fire and movie going. This cabin was the perfect get away.
