Very memorable trip! Loved visiting Helen, the sounds of the creek from the cabin and the amenities. WIFI was spotty at best and if I wasn't tech-savvy, we would have been without internet a total of 3 times during the 4 night stay. Wish there was central heating and air but didnt lose any sleep over it and was comfortable. 1 roll of the provided toilet paper was barely enough for 2 people for 2 days. Cabin needs a larger skillet in the kitchen. Honest reviewer. The place was beautiful, secluded and serene. Communication was great. Will definitely return.
Your representatives were great and quick to respond to our needs. House keeping was great.
The biggest problem we experienced was the lack of comfort of the beds.
I realized that fixing this issue would be very expensive to your budget, and being that it is a rental property, it would be costly to maintain quality beds and furniture. But we left a day earlier because our back pain.
However, your people treated us very well and the grocery store a few blocks away was very helpful as well.
The thing we enjoyed most about our time there was the creek that runs under the deck of the âBlack Bear Creek Cabinâ very tranquil, and relaxing. Thank you for that experience.
Cabin is in a great location behind the Helen Fun Factory, we walked everywhere over the weekend. The creek running underneath the back porch is very relaxing. Love coming to Helen so will keep this cabin in mind for future visits!
We went to see the fall leaves and the property was full of leaves all around - we literally could not see the ground. This was a great start to our weekend and my kids literally made piles of leaves and played in them. The road approaching the property is dark and could use some lighting. As far as inside the property goes, it was cozy, clean and comfortable. Since there is only one bathroom, we had to take turns to use it but not a deal breaker. The creek in the back yard was fully covered with leaves so we could not enjoy the water but next time we may try to visit again when the leaves are gone. We plan to visit this place again and plan to stay here longer. A true piece of heaven!! Thanks to the owner.
What a cute cabin! Our kiddos loved it and called it our gingerbread house. Itâs a very walkable distance to downtown (about 10 minutes), which was perfect. The cabin had plenty of space for our 4 person family. The back deck was nice and big, plenty of seating. Itâs tucked away from major roads and other cabins, so itâs very private. We loved the fireplace! We will definitely consider this cabin again for future trips to Helen.
The cabin location is beautiful. In the woods and lots of room.
However, no instructions on the fireplace and the air conditioners needed cleaning before they would work.
Place was clean, lots of dishes and towels and a nice walk to all the Helen Georgia events!
We booked this trip long before we knew of hurricane Helene. We decided to take the chance and head down from Kentucky anyway. The cabin we originally booked had no power, with no ETA on when it might. They graciously offered us a different cabin that did have power located closer to town. The cabin was clean, well maintained, and in walking distance to all the fun in Helen. We had a great time!! Thank you Blue Creek Cabins for working with us in a trying time and making our weekend getaway great!!
We stayed as a 3 day break on a road trip in the Deep South and then up to Washington DC. A welcome break in an interested "mock Bavarian" town. A great base to rest-up and relax and super-peaceful, but for the incredible sounds of nature. An unbelievably short walk into town which was great as parking in the evening looked challenging.
Les points faibles : Communication, emplacement, exactitude de lâannonce
Never Again!
We booked for a week and left after just 3 days. When we walked inside the cabin it was literally dripping inside. Foul musty mildew smell. We tried getting rid of the dampness with A/C but that was no good. Manager said that she would see what she could do but never heard back from her again. She claims that the owner stayed in the cabin the week before we were there and noticed nothing. That is hard to believe. No refund, no apologies, no communication at all. I would NOT recommend!!!
The cabin was perfect for our family of 5. We enjoyed being out of the busy area of downtown. We were slightly concerned arriving at night because it is back behind some businesses and we were sure we were lost but there are signs to assure you are on the right path. The bunk beds could use a little tightening but it wasnât terrible. (Squeaky) overall we were pleased with our stay!!
I think we are 'one and done' on staying in Helen and next time we'd do a day trip, while staying somewhere else.
That said, here are some thoughts on the cabin!
Positives:
Convenient location - walking distance to the Betty's market (grocery store) and really walking distance to everything.
Back deck is awesome. Multi level decks, various seating options, creek.*bring bugspray!*
Having 2 bedrooms is a nice setup for families.
Laundry room.
Kitchen well stocked with coffee pot and filters, pots and pans, utensils.
The queen mattresses were comfortable.
Quaint decor.
Room for improvement -
So many cobwebs, in room corners and on lamps.. seems they'd be easy to knock down.
Very musty smell even in the cabinets and clinging on the dishes. ( they had air fresheners going in multiple rooms but the strong artificial smell didn't cancel the other smell)
Mildew issues in bathroom with visible black spots.
Bunk beds are so squeaky they can be heard from the other room. Any amount of rolling over, movement, or even just coughing causes them to start squeaking. (I see a review from 2021 that they've been like that for quite a while.)
We dealt with a rodent roaming loudly at night which affected my sleeping for the first couple of nights, but as soon as I reported it they sent out pest control who trapped it immediately. Great communication & responsiveness from the management.
Favorite activities were tubing, the mountain coaster, panning at the outpost, & Anna Ruby Falls.
What a great place to stay!! Everything was great, the cabin, outdoor areas. The stream running next to the cabin was perfect! Highly recommended and look forward to coming back!
I highly recommend staying at Bear Creek Cabin! The stream by the cabin made for such a peaceful environment and the cabin itself is very quaint and cute. My family loved it!
Wonderful place to stay in Helen, Georgia. This is our second time at Black Bear Creek cabin and we have already booked again for October. This cabin is perfect, close enough to walk to town, but yet secluded & away from all the noise. So relaxing, sitting on the back porch listing to the creek! Everything you need is at the cabin to cook a great meal. We will stay at this cabin every time we come to Helen!
