We recently stayed at Bear Creek Cabins and had a wonderful time. The town of Helen, GA is fun and the surrounding area provides plenty of hiking, sightseeing and other things to do. Tim and Cindy Smith are very gracious and accommodating. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this location to my friends. Thanks for a fun time.

My husband and I visited the cabins this past summer in July and fell in love with the place and the owner Tim. He was a wonderful and friendly host. We loved it so much we decided to have our wedding party stay with us at the cabins when my husband and I recently got married in Helen. We rented... More

Cute cabin. Add is a little deceiving though. The pics seem to make it look like its right by the river. But it's not. It's up a winding road from the river. It has a steeply graded driveway that can only be driven into and out of in one direction. This was extremely dangerous on motorcycles, and the owners were... More

First of all, this renter did NOT tell us he was traveling on motorcycles- we always discourage anyone that is traveling on bikes from renting this cabin, and try to put them in one with flat parking areas. Secondly, this cabin is very small, and suitable for really only 3 adults and 2 small children,as it states in the description... More

My husband & I wanted to treat our daughter for her 19th birthday and she wanted the Smokey Mountains. I've heard about the lodge and suggested we stay a couple of nights there and a few in the Smokey Mountains. At the end of the trip we all agreed we should have stayed at the Fishermans Cabin and skip the... More

So this will be a bit of a split personality review- you ready? I stayed in the Tree House with my family for a week in early August and I must say I loved the place! I loved the seclusion and quiet, the giant front porch, and the close proximity to the river! I enjoyed nothing more than reading on... More

Ashley- Thanks for the nice comments on the Treehouse, and the constructive criticism- we immediately improved the approach to the cabin after reading your review,and now make double sure to tell prospective renters that it is an aggressive hike to the cabin. As for the hot-tub fee, as I explained to your mom that when we give deep discounts,a hottub... More

My husband and I had a WONDERFUL stay in the Treehouse cabin. Cindy met us on the stairs and walked us through explaining everything we needed to know. There was even beer in the fridge for us! She told us about places to see nearby and about the lical stores and dining options. The hottub was great. The free tubing... More

We are unsure of why the negative ratings. We stayed at Bear Creek Cabins, specifically, The Treehouse. If you want Luxury, I would suggest staying at a Country Club. This cabin was beautiful and is not misrepresented in the least. It is a CABIN, and it is in the WOODS, and it is on a MOUNTAIN, and you wake up... More

The Fishermen's cabin is a cute little place which is a nice break from cookie cutter hotel rooms. It slept 6 fairly comfortably except for the queen size bed upstairs in the loft is situated DIRECTLY in front of the air conditioner and made me sick. Also, the web site advertised a king size bed which is misrepresentation- should be... More

Dear guest- Thank you for your feedback, but I am totally confused about the misrepresentation claim about the bed- there most certainly is a KING bed up in the loft-has been that way for years now- we will try to re-locate it in the room to avoid future displeasure to our guests. As far as the price goes, we are... More

This place is a gem! Stayed with friends in December - The cabin was clean, beautiful, nicely decorated, stocked with coffee, shampoo, etc. The owners were on hand to answer all our questions, we're very helpful, even took us skeet shooting! They gave us a tour of their 6 other cabins, which are also very nice & unique in their... More

Upon arriving to the "treehouse" cabin, we found the keys left hanging in the door for us. It was freezing inside!! One small window unit upstairs SUCKED at providing enough heat to be comfortable in Jan. I slept in full thermals, sweat pants and a hoodie, and was still freezing!! Small propane fireplace kept turning itself off, providing little to... More
