About this property
Bordering The National Forest. The Bear Affair Cabin.
The Bear Affair Cabin will romance you with its rustic charm and warmth.
This beautifully decorated, all wood, cozy cabin is nestled on the edge of
The Chattahoochee National Forest, with end of the road privacy, just six minutes from Helen. Close enough to see & do everything, far enough to feel like your miles away.
Bear Affair has everything you need to enjoy the serene outdoors. Each side of this adorable cabin offers a vista of the surrounding forest. Look closely and you might even see a deer bounding across the drive. Enjoy barbecuing and sampling some of the local favorites on the dining deck aglow in soft amber lights that illuminate the Chattahoochee National Forest.
Relax in your own fully furnished outdoor living room, complete with cushioned rockers and a love seat made for two or unwind in the warm, therapeutic waters of the spacious, private hot tub complete with a panoramic view of the surrounding forest and custom built stacked stone fire pit.
You wont leave behind the comforts of home as you sleep in the grand, king-sized log bed in the upstairs master loft bedroom, sip wine by the fire, or create a gourmet meal in the fully equipped kitchen. Come, relax and enjoy and begin your love affair with The Bear Affair. Bear Affair sleeps two. We've added a downstairs sofa-sleeper for a third party.
Please be advised that you are renting a cabin in the woods in the mountains of North Georgia. Most, but not all, roads are gravel and could have an incline or decline. If this is a concern to you based on your driving experience or vehicle you will be driving, please, have this conversation with our representative for more details on your specific property, prior to making your reservation.
There is a camera mounted on an exterior post of the front porch. It is only viewing the driveway.
