About this property

Bear Paw Cottage #1 Pet friendly only 4 miles from Beautiful Downtown Helen!

Bear Paw Cottage #1 (King) offers you all the amenities you want at a price you can afford.
Only 2 miles from Anna Ruby Falls and Only 4 miles to the Alpine Helen Village, this cottage allows you to enjoy the beauty of the North Georgia mountains while taking in the charm of Helen without breaking your budget.
Our Bear Paw Cottage is reminiscent of the motor court of the past and offers level parking, which makes this cottage great for motorcycle enthusiasts or people who want to avoid a cabin with a lot of stairs.
With a king sized bed and a sleeping loft with a double memory foam mattress, our studio-style Bear Paw Cottage comfortably sleeps two adults and two small children.
The private covered porch offers an enjoyable, relaxing experience with the comfort and privacy to relax.
Your family will love our Gazebo covered picnic tables with charcoal grills! Enjoy quality time together while dining and Roasting marshmallows for smores by the large Fire Pit!

The cabin was cute and so cozy. It was just two of us and our two small dogs. We enjoyed having a common area to sit in the back and a small trail to walk the dogs. Everything was very clean and organized. I think the location is great for access to Helen as well as nearby hiking trails.

Has everything you need for a little mountain/hiking getaway. Cottages are spaced out enough to offer privacy, and the hot tub is a nice touch especially after a day of hiking.
