Bear’s Rest Cabin

The cabin overall was nice and comfortable. The only issue we had was that the tv did not work. It was replaced the day after I called. The hot tub was used once , but the clean filter/change water alert was on. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay. We purchased firewood so we could enjoy a fire in the evening. We were close to a few parks, so we enjoyed hiking to see a couple of waterfalls and we went zip lining. The alpine town of Helen was close and very interesting to visit. We enjoyed walking around the town and experiencing the mountain coaster ride.

Older Cabin

Overall really liked the area of the cabin. Was clean as far as countertops bathroom but deep clean it wasnt. Had a bad oder to it as soon as you walk in. Lots of spiderwebs all over. I know its in the woods but could have been way better as far as that goes.

Would stay here again.

This place is very comfortable and we had no problems checking in and out. The back porch faces another home and the road but its hard to see anything through the trees so its very peaceful. The only thing we did not like is the first night there were dogs barking all night making it hard to sleep. The second and third night were much quieter.

Very nice place to stay, very quiet. But as to the ramp it needs a railing to make it safer for the step up. Also the outside lights at the driveway were not working.
