It is a lovely cabin and incredibly peaceful. It was the perfect distance from Helen and the other towns we wanted to explore. The one very small issue we had was dealt with at warp speed and completely handled. Bravo!

We’re so glad you chose Georgia Mountain Rentals. We hope to welcome you back again real soon.
This cabin was everything we wanted for an end of the year get away. It was cozy, the heater worked perfectly and kept us warm, the woods were quiet and peaceful and the directions were definitely needed because our GPS took us the wrong way. We had a great time and will definitely be back!
We loved this quiet, little cabin in the woods. The hot tub and fire pit were enjoyed and our Christmas was perfect here! Thanks to the host for the cute Christmas tree and decorations that made us feel at home! We will def consider this property again!

This is a great little cabin for a couple! It was very clean and had all the things we needed. It is in a wooded area about 6 miles or less to Helen, Ga. The hot tub was great. We enjoyed a fire in the firepit outback. Rockers on the front porch. There are a few cabins around but spaced out enough for privacy. I have rented from Georgia Mountain Rentals before and the staff is always friendly and helpful and has good rates. I highly recommend them! Dwayne & Denise

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in, communication
It was okay. The initial getting there was hectic because we were there to help with my brother's wedding, and having all the calls and emails, and having to do all the follow-up, was time-consuming and not at all relaxing to think about on top of everything else. Additionally, the internet was not working, but we didn't have enough time to worry about it. However, the place was nice and clean. When we finally got to relax, the hot tub was a welcome treat. It was also close to Helen and featured beautiful sites.
The perfect stay for me and my (now) fiancé. A warm, cozy cabin that was the perfect setting for a romantic getaway and surprise proposal. Super close to downtown Helen, but still far enough to enjoy the peace and quiet of the north georgia outdoors. Would definitely stay here again and I highly recommend!
Perfect location near Helen, GA. The cabin is cozy and the hot tub was nice after walking all day. We booked this based on the pictures but noticed the living room chair different and not a recliner. The kitchen table very uncomfortable as it doesn't have space for legs without hitting knees on the table supports. The rental company very responsive but will rent a different cottage nearby next tume.
Loved our vacation! The host communicated so great with us. It wasn’t far from Helen, GA. The bed was comfortable and the hot tub was amazing to soak in after a long day of exploring Helen and tubing! We will definitely be staying again in the future!
Great property, everything was very clean, perfect for a couple. Will deffently stay again!

The Bear Hug was a perfect for our anniversary getaway. Close to Helen and Uncoi state park, but still felt nice and private. The accommodations were clean and well supplied. We will definitely be back
