The cabin was beyond expectations! The decor was so fun and it was stocked with anything you would need in the kitchen (including coffee and creamer, and BIG mugs!). It has anything you would need if bringing infants or young kids in regards to high chairs, booster seats, and a bath for an infant. The master is stocked with any variety of blanket you may need to keep the chill away, and the fire pit area phenomenal. Amazing porches, incredibly quiet neighborhood, and host is incredibly responsive and accommodating. We can't wait to visit again!
What a wonderful cabin. So peaceful and cozy. Kitchen is well appointed. I cooked every meal here but one and they had everything needed to make meal preparation easy. We had 6 adults and a two year old and there was plenty of room. The crib and baby gates were an added bonus for ease of keeping the little one safe. Loved the downstairs with a washer and dryer and game tables. I could go on and on, but I would simply say just book this cabin and see for yourself how wonderful it is.
The lodge was as described and perfect for my family. It was well stocked with everything we needed and very clean. The property was beautiful, so quiet and peaceful. The host was very responsive and friendly. Absolutely would book again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Plenty of room, very clean, and the hot tub was a plus! I can’t wait to return here.

Julissa, you and your guests will be welcomed back at anytime! Thank you for taking care of the cabin as if it were your own. You are a five star guest!
Great location to Helen and hikes in the mountains.
Our family had a wonderful time in the cabin. It was so cozy and the mattresses were super comfortable. I especially loved seeing all the deer walk by the house.

Leigh, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay! You are welcome back anytime!
The cabin is so peaceful and exactly as described. It was very clean and well stocked with linens and towels. My family will definitely be returning in the near future!
We had a blast on our vacation to helen. The black bear lodge was the perfect cozy place to come back to after a long day. So much fun stuff to do at the house too when we were too lazy to get out. Looked playing games and making smores with the kiddos!
