Lazy Bear Cottage | 3BR 3BA Creek Front Retreat | Game Room | Hot Tub | Creek

Lazy Bear Cottage - Animal-Free Home

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 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.

Our stay
We loved it. The creek was awesome. We thought the stocked pond would be bigger but it was cute. We didn't catch anything but had fun trying. It rained for 2 days so the hot tub was used a lot. We loved the large dining room table.

Wonderful Place to Stay!
We stayed for a long weekend as 2 families of 4 with 4 adults and 4 teenagers. The setup of the house was perfect with two master suites and lots of room for the teenagers downstairs. The house was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed Helen and the surrounding area and are hoping to return for the fall colors!

Great Holiday Stay
Grandparents and son's family of five boys from Miami, Florida stayed the week before Christmas. We had a great time being together and there was plenty to do in and around Helen, Georgia. The home was very clean, well decorated, and had lots of games available including pool and air hockey. We did not use the hot tub due to the weather, but we did use the fire ring in the back yard to make s'mores. The four bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the gas fireplace made the inside comfortable. The only real complaint was about the front steps. The door threshold is several inches above the top step and the storm door closes so quickly that it can catch your foot before you have time to get inside. That may seem to be a minor inconvenience, but it did cause a couple of trips at the door. The location is very secluded and private while offering reasonable access to Helen and Cleveland. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend staying at the Lazy Bear Cottage!

Perfection
Excellent family home. Even though it rained the first 2 days, the darts, pool table kept everyone occupied. 3 generations stayed, house is roomy enough for everyone to have privacy as needed, but great way to reconnect with everyone. Only downside I saw was internet connection. Teens weren't thrilled. But gave us the opportunity to get close with kids and grandkids. Highly recommend it.

Family Vaca
Property is perfect for a family get-away. The creek that runs the back of the property is so beautiful and relaxing to listen to the babble of the water. Our family had plans to go to a snow resort for a daytrip but everyone voted no- they wanted to just hangout in the cabin and play games- so we did. We really enjoyed our family time. Plenty to do right there!
