Lazy Bear Cottage -An Animal Free Home
Severe Health and Safety Notice: This is a strictly animal-free home due to the homeowner’s severe, life-threatening allergies to animal dander. Because the homeowner regularly occupies the property, we must maintain a medically safe, allergen-free environment. This policy also helps protect guests with animal allergies who specifically choose and rely upon an animal-free rental. We cannot accommodate pets, emotional support animals, or other animals of any kind.
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 size 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.

About the host
Hosted by owner/property manager
We LOVE Helen and the GA mountains. We purchased this cute cottage on a private creek front property with guests in mind! We wanted to be able to share this place and our favorite mountain town with everyone and this cottage is PERFECT for couples or families looking to get away from the busy lifestyle and be LAZY and enjoy nature! We certainly love running away to our little cottage on occasions and hope that you all LOVE this place as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
We wanted to be able to share a space with incoming guests that was both private and close to Helen and hiking trail and all the wineries! We think we found the perfect spot and right on a creek too which is super peaceful in the mornings!
What makes this property unique
Private creek from the cottage with a short drive into downtown, also you can get to Clarkesville quickly and the wineries! You have 3+ acres of privacy and a winding creek through the property to enjoy watching the small fish and other wildlife that love the creek!
