Weekend getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend here. The location is great, close to Helen, but out far enough for quiet and privacy! There is so much to do at the cabin, we didn’t feel like we had to leave at all! Though we did enjoy exploring the area. Communication was great and we had all the information we needed.

Cozy Cabin
This property is spectacular! Location is great - out of town but not that far. Cabin was cozy and roomy. Great place to come back to after tubing, rafting, zip lining, and all the outdoor activities you can think of. Enjoyed down by the river playing horseshoes and lighting a fire. And the hot tub. We will be back in the future. I highly recommend this cabin.

Big time at The Big Bear
I have been to Helen many times over the years. I have stayed in different hotels and in nearby towns like Ellijay or Dahlonega. I found it almost overwhelming when trying to locate a property in which to stay for this recent trip. I wanted the cabin feel, waterfront, privacy, safety, cleanliness, fireplace and outdoor hot tub. Not only did this property provide all of the above, I felt as if someone just opened the doors to their home and welcomed us in. We were greeted with lights and heat on (even though it was midnight when we arrived). There was a chilled bottle of champagne and a round of Camembert cheese in the fridge. It was only briefly mentioned in text that we were there to celebrate an anniversary. Thank you from the Brooks’ to the Grow family! I found it unbelievable how well thought out the host was in providing the myriad of amenities. We took walks along the river, made s’mores at the riverside fire pit. Pitched horseshoes and fished. Loved the enclosed and private area for sitting in the hot tub. Only around the corner, figuratively, from downtown Helen. The privacy and seclusion was exactly what I had envisioned. In reality the property is so nice and accommodating that I found myself reluctant to go into town. Looking back, it was all quite extraordinary. PS I am reluctant to say too many positive things because I want it to be available every time I return to the area! A funny… but somewhat true!

Perfect Location
Big Bear is close enough to town that it doesn’t feel like an inconvenience to go do things, yet it is far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. The owner was very helpful and quick to respond to questions. The cabin is right on the river so we could enjoy nature at its best. My only regret was not getting to see a bear during our stay.

Big Bear Cabin
The cabin is beautiful and perfectly located. It's only minutes from downtown Helen and seconds from enjoying the Chattahoochee River. It is very clean and comfortable. You have your own private fenced in area on the river with easy access, chairs, picnic table, fire pit, and awesome horseshoe pits! You are also only 1 mile from Cool River Tubing and their fun obstacle course. Oh yeah, the tubing course doesn't come by the cabin, your area is very peaceful! The owners are super nice and very easy to communicate with. We will be returning for a longer stay next time! Enjoy!

Cozy Cabin on the River!
We loved everything about our stay here. The house was fantastic with so many amenities. Absolutely loved watching the hummingbirds come up to the top deck to feed, drinking coffee and watching/hearing the river flow, and the games and hot tub downstairs! This place was super cute with all of the themed items of bear country. Owners were great and gave lots of added notes and directions for ease of use of the property. Traffic in Helen was hectic but a quick drive down to Cleveland made our food tour awesome. Clyde’s Tavern, North Georgia BBQ and Hoochee’s River Basket were all delicious choices for meals. Great stay for us and we would love to come back again!!

Family friendly with a lot of things to do. River was a little low for tubing in front of the cabin. Nice area for the children just 50 yards up stream. My wife saw a bear early Sunday morning crossing the drive way. All in all jjwe had a great week.

Everything you could ask for
Had a great stay at Stacy's cabin! Everything was extremely clean and very comfortable. Plenty of room for a 3 bedroom, very homey feel, and all amenities you could ask for. We loved the hot tub, arcade games, and fire pit by the river! Quiet neighborhood/street, and only a few minute drive to Helen. Fully paved road all the way to the cabin and plenty of parking (was important to us). Very easy communication with Stacy. Would stay again without hesitation!

The description and pictures do not do Big Bear Lodge justice. It was absolutely perfect in every way...from the rustic decor (decorated SO BEAUTIFULLY for Christmas) to the amazing location -- we couldn't have asked for anything better. The cabin was super clean, comfortable and cozy with every tiny detail taken care of. We didn't want to leave and can't wait to go back.

This cozy cabin was the perfect Christmas getaway! Tastefully decorated for the Holidays it really helped get my crew in the Christmas Spirit! From horseshoes to Pac-Man, fun was had by all. The cabin was clean and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The host was incredibly communicative and answered all questions promptly. Our family cannot wait to come back in the summer!
