The cabin was very clean and stocked with everything we needed for our trip. We enjoyed cooking dinners at the cabin and relaxing by the fireplace. Lots of activities nearby. Wonderful home and close walk into town!
Cute, clean, comfortable cabin within walking distance from downtown Helen. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals during our stay. Property is private and secluded yet easy to walk to the attractions in Helen. Very clean. Highly recommend!

We truly enjoyed staying at Black Bear Creek Cabin. Close enough to the downtown activities but also private. The outdoor firepit and indoor fireplace were perfect for chilly nights.

Wonderful Stay
Our stay at Black Bear Creek was great! The cabin was a perfect size for our party of four, with room to spare. Very clean inside and the outdoor amenities were amazing. The location to Helen was nice and close, but far enough that we didn't hear town noise. Check in and out process worked smoothly, will definitly stay here again!

Great Location
Easy walk into town, but still has the feel like you are out in the woods by yourself when at the cabin. Close to the Country store for any items you need to grab. My son loved doing a fire nightly in the fire pit.

Fall foliage and Oktoberfest weekend getaway.
OK, so the drive in through an industrial parking lot will raise the eyebrows, but... turn the corner into the driveway and the rest of the world disappears. The location is literally walking distance to N Main St but feels like it's in the middle of the woods. HUGE deck out back with lots of seating over the babbling creek. Great property and we expect to return!

Wonderful time!
We love Black Bear Creek cabin & stay every year we come to Helen. Our favorite thing to do is sit outside on the deck surrounded by woods & listen to the tranquil creek.
Blue Creek associates provide excellent service & support. The property is maintained well & always sparkling clean! I highly recommend staying with Blue Creek!
The property manager was super great to work with, very accommodating and responsive. Check in was easy, well equipped cabin. Enjoyed the fire pit and swing. Only thing we could say that could use some improvement is the flooring needs some reinforcing and some planks replaced, and although not completely needed as it's only about a 7 minute walk to town, some updated bicycles would be great. But overall a very nice cozy stay.
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!

Wonderful Stay
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!
The cabin was clean and cozy. The location was great as it's within walking distance to the main street in Helen, but felt very private since it's set back in the woods.
