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.

    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 !!

    Great place. Very peaceful. There are plenty of towels and blankets, which I appreciate. 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. We even saw a huge woodpecker. Just lovely. We didn’t see bear; prayer answered lol. It was a nice stay. Conveniently located to Helen, not too close not too far.

    This cabin is located in a great location with easy access to Helen and surrounding sights with lots of hiking trails. It is well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, coffee makers, and kitchen utensils. We were fortunate enough to meet the owner who is a super host. He goes beyond to make sure his guests have everything they need. The cabin is clean and well maintained. We do plan to stay here again!

    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
