What Guests Are Saying
“Went for my brother's 50th bday. Had about 5 of us all together. The accommodations were completely awesome and is as described. Within walking distance to what Helen has to offer for October fest. Would definitely recommend. Ended up meeting the owners downtown and they awesome people!”
“We really enjoyed our stay at Blue Creek. The location was perfectly located downtown, yet fairly secluded in the woodland. The house was very nice. None of us are pool sharks but we enjoyed playing a little. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit every night. There is a hot tub but didn’t use it as we felt the weather was a little warm for that. Their downstairs apartment is a nice addition with the game room, small kitchen, and bath. Teens would love staying in there! We would definitely stay there again.”
“What a great spot! It’s easily accessible by the roads leading up to the cabin, quiet, the cabin is rustic and lovely (but very clean and well stocked). The hosts were communicate and helpful. We had a great stay!”
“Wonderful place, great location—I loved it.”
“Loved my visit here.”
“The place is very nice.”
“We absolutely loved our stay! The cabin was perfect for our family of six, with room to spare. It was so cozy and had everything we needed and even more. The location to downtown Helen was super close, just took minutes to get there. We especially loved all the little decor details in the cabin. The game room was so much fun for our entire family! Highly recommend this cabin for your Helen stay!”
“Great place, near enough to Helen to be convenient but out of the fray. Loved the game room and outdoor spaces. Beautiful secluded view from the back deck.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Bear Crossing. The cabin is exactly like the photos and did not disappoint in any way. It’s extremely convenient with how close to Helen it is. Yet you’re surrounded by woods and feel isolated and peaceful. Many days leaving we would see deer or other wildlife wandering around and on our last day out there was a black bear hanging out in the cul-de-sac. Luckily, he kept to himself after knocking over the bear proof trashcan. We would definitely repeat a stay again. Absolutely wonderful cabin and hosts.”
