“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.”

“Can’t speak of this place more highly! Communication was 10/10, location was literally 90 seconds from downtown, not accounting for the standard crazy weekend Main Street traffic. The kids LOVED the game room; the hot tub was super fun - and it gave you the entire “Helen cabin” experience you’re looking for. 10/10 - marvelous experience!”

“Very well located. Felt secluded but very close to Helen.”

“We had a great stay! We especially loved the downstairs area for the kids, the hot tub on the screened-in porch, and how close the cabin was to tubing and downtown Helen.”

“Beautiful area. Hosts are very responsive Enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. Lots of room.”

“Came to Helen for a short getaway with my grandkids. From the very beginning, everything was top-notch. Cabin easy to get to nestled in the woods. Great location, town just a few minutes away. Kids loved the game room. They had their own area where they slept downstairs. Well taken care of in plenty of room. The fire pit was the highlight of the evening along with the hot tub. Would highly recommend.”

“Very nice cabin, plenty of room and secluded feel. We always worry about the sleep but the beds were comfortable, no aches or pain. Very nice place.”

“Beautiful home with everything needed to make our stay what we hoped for!”

“Na”

“Great place for a family getaway. Had some small issues we brought to the hosts’ attention….nothing that affected our stay. We’d come back”

“Wonderful location and everything worked with the games,electronics, and hot tub. Truly enjoyed our stay. Very glad they stress the need for a higher clearance car. The road itself has many holes/bumps, so had to very careful.”

“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.”

“Great place to stay and close to downtown Helen! Would be willing to stay there again!”

“The cabin is nestled into a beautiful wooded area and the fire pit area is real pretty. Lots of outdoor deck spaces to enjoy also. The inside decorated real nice with lots of nods to the bear theme. Sadly, there was a very bad odor like mildew/sour smell throughout the cabin and was worse downstairs. The downstairs game room was a lot of fun! I really didn’t like the fact that toilet paper was limited to one roll. And they weren’t full rolls when we arrived. I also would like to see more coffee cups available. We enjoyed the hot tub!!! It’s a nice cozy screened in area.”
