What Guests Are Saying
“We had a great stay! The place was very clean and spacious, which made it super comfortable for everyone. The game room was a lot of fun and kept us entertained, and the views were absolutely beautiful. Would definitely stay here again!”
“We visited this lovely cabin with another family for a long weekend. It was perfect - the kids played in the game room and in the woods, and had an absolute blast. Despite below-freezing temps, the cabin was cozy. We loved our stay!”
“Lovely stay! Plenty of space for our family of 5. We absolutely loved the location and how close it was to town.”
“We had the most amazing stay at Bear Crossing! The location is perfect and close to all Helen has to offer but also private and secluded. The cabin is so cozy and comfortable and all the Christmas decorations made us feel right at home. Our favorite features were the gas fireplace and pool table. The kids had a blast in the game room and the adults enjoyed the split floor plan when we wanted to hang out upstairs. The hot tub was so clean and great to relax in after a busy day in town. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals too. We hope to be back soon!”
“Beautiful cabin! Host was very responsive! Will definitely be booking with Blue Creek Cabins again!”
“Amazing cabin, very close to town. Felt right at home, everything was clean and well maintained. My family loved it!”
“The unit is decorated in a very cute cabin way. Very spacious. Beds sleep well. Extra pillows available. The amenities are as described. The hot tub was wonderful, especially as it was under cover and it rained every day of our trip! :( Be aware that the road is very rough for big heavy motorcycles: if we had come on the bikes as planned it would have been very difficult to manage although not impossible. The only two 'complaints' are that the seating is limited for a house that sleeps 9, and there is no good place to keep non perishable food in the kitchen. We had 6 people and had to bring in a bench to eat at the table. And the living room furniture seems to be split up between the upstairs and downstairs. So the fireplace ledge was used for seating. And the main kitchen is well stocked with dish ware and gadgets, but there weren't any empty cabinets to put the groceries in. Not major issues, just things to be aware of. Yes, there is wildlife, as we did see a bear in the driveway.”
“Perfect place close to downtown. Very quiet and peaceful. Kids loved the basement. Had pool tournaments every night. 😁. Hot tub and fire pit was great. Overall great place and great location!”
“The place was perfect! Very roomy. Was the perfect stay for our girls weekend.”
