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! ##### Jennifer D.

Jan 18, 2023 #### Great house for a private family getaway 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. ##### Lydia N.

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 ##### Adam B. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Belinda M. Aug 5, 2025 #### Very enjoyable and many memories made!! From time we pulled into the driveway, which was nice to have such a big area to park and turn around in, till we pulled out, we enjoyed our stay at Lazy Bear Cottage!! One of the best kitchens providing PLENTY of dishes & pots and pans, etc,,, We also like that ALL floors had their own bathroom. The dart board was used a lot !! 1 complaint was the bottom floor was very warm and stuffy!! Said it really needed a ceiling fan in the rooms !! Luckily my son had a small fan he had brought with him, said it helped! 2.They also said the sliding door curtains on bottom floor were about ready to fall down because of the curtain rod not heavy enough to hold the weight !! ##### Belinda M. ### 8/10 Good #### lisa j.

The host does need to purchase new chairs out back by the fire pit, because this are is super great. We saw three deer and a wild turkey every morning and many evenings.

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. ##### Lauren C. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Karrie G.

Jan 27, 2024 #### 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. ##### Carmen E. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica G.

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. ##### Jessica G.

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! ##### Andrea G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen P.

Aug 2, 2023 #### Beautiful Space, Great Location 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. ##### Tina F. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robin T.

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. ##### William T. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori B. Jul 11, 2023 #### Wonderful trip wish we could have stayed longer.. 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.. ##### Lori B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee](https://www.expedia.ca/Greensboro-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton-Reynolds.h806099.Hotel-Information) > > [Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Salamanca-Hotels-Seneca-Allegany-Resort-Casino.h2238839.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Sandusky OH](https://www.expedia.ca/Sandusky-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Sandusky-OH.h1183594.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [Drury Plaza Hotel Valdosta](https://www.expedia.ca/Thomasville-Hotels-Drury-Inn-Suites-Valdosta.h5455897.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Secluded Cabin | Sauna | Hot Tub | Pet Friendly | Game Room | Wrap Around Deck](https://www.expedia.ca/Helen-Hotels-Secluded-Cabin-2BR-3-BA-Sauna-Hot-Tub-Pool-Table-Wrap-Around-Deck.h28899329.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Kings-Land-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h2303745.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Savannah-Hotels-The-Westin-Savannah-Harbor-Golf-Resort-Spa.h200458.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information)
