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.

“Super communicative host -- all my questions were answered just before I was ready to ask them. Home was exactly as advertised. Clean and cozy.”
“This cottage has an amazing location, is well kept and super clean. The creek in the back is huge perk at this property. It’s very secluded but also such a short drive to Helen if you’re looking for activities. The place fit our family of 8 very comfortably with plenty of room to have privacy. Host is super helpful and very fast to respond with any questions or help you may need. Seeing deer daily in the yard was a highlight for our little ones.”
“Very remote and quiet - which was exactly what we were looking for. The fun town of Helen was just 10 minutes away. Great trip!”
“My family and i really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin! We were pretty bummed about the hot tub not working though! But other than that , things were great ! Had a great time making so many fun memories !”
“We absolutely loved our stay! We had two 14 year olds, a 10 yo and a 2 yo…. And no one was ever bored or uncomfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals and snacks, the beds were comfy, there were a lot of fun entertainment options. Communication was prompt and great without being overbearing. It was really a perfect property for us!”
“This was a last minute stop from Tennessee to our way to Georgia to do a quick visit to Helen GA. For a family of 8 this was a great find! We had everything we needed. Ten minutes away from Helen in a very peaceful place. Creek is pretty but not good to get into it as is a little muddy but overall a great place if looking for a place to rest while visiting Helen GA. The host was very communicative and instructions were easy to follow.”
