Bear Cave: Private Mountain Retreat with Views & Hot Tub

Welcome to Bear Cave

Escape to the mountains and make yourself at home at Bear Cave, a beautiful and secluded mountain retreat with seasonal mountain views and room for up to 9 guests. Whether you're planning a family getaway, a weekend with friends, or simply looking for a peaceful place to relax, Bear Cave has plenty of space for everyone to spread out and enjoy their stay.

The main floor features a comfortable king suite with a private full bathroom, along with a queen bedroom and second full bathroom. You'll also have the convenience of a laundry room during your stay.

The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals at the cabin, with a dining area that seats up to 9 guests. The kitchen opens directly into the living room, creating a spacious gathering area where no one has to miss out on the fun while cooking dinner!

The living room is one of the highlights of Bear Cave, featuring beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows, a wood-burning fireplace, comfortable seating, and a Smart TV. Curl up by the fire on a cool mountain evening or simply sit back and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

A Loft Made for Fun!

Head upstairs to the spacious loft-an ideal hangout spot for kids and teens! The loft includes a double futon, three Twin XL beds, Smart TV, air hockey table, desk, and pub table. It's the perfect space for games, movies, or giving the kids a place of their own while the adults relax downstairs.

Relax & Enjoy the Outdoors

Step outside onto the screened-in porch and settle into the hot tub after a day of exploring the mountains. The porch also features a grill and two outdoor tables, giving you plenty of room to enjoy a meal surrounded by the peaceful mountain setting.

When evening rolls around, gather around the outdoor firepit for stories, laughs, and roasted marshmallows under the stars.

With its secluded setting, seasonal mountain views, spacious layout, and plenty of indoor and outdoor entertainment, Bear Cave is a wonderful place to slow down, reconnect, and make memories in the North Georgia mountains.

For the safety and security of our guests and property, there is an exterior security camera with audio located outside the home. The camera is pointed directly toward the driveway and garage area and is used for security purposes only.

Please keep in mind that you are traveling in the North Georgia mountains. The road leading to the cabin is steep in some areas and transitions to a dirt/gravel road. Smaller vehicles typically have no issues navigating the incline during normal weather conditions. However, during the winter months or in the event of snow or icy conditions, we strongly recommend a 4-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive vehicle.

Please drive carefully and plan accordingly for mountain road conditions.


Come escape to Bear Cave and enjoy your own little piece of the mountains!

Helen, GA weekend getaway

Our family of 4 plus our Goldendoodle enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It was very cute, cozy, and secluded. We would definitely stay here again. We did a couple hikes and had a lot of fun in Helen nearby.

I was given the wrong code to the key box but that was immediately corrected when I called. The beds weren’t to comfortable and the living room couch was stained. Beautiful location at the top of the hill.

The cabin looks just like the pictures. The view was fantastic, beds comfortable, and kitchen well stocked. We loved the screened in porch. There was a steep gravel road to the house, our SUV handled it fine, but a low car would have been problematic. The driveway was a great size to turn around in. We felt secluded and really enjoyed our stay. There were a couple of issues but the host was reaponsive and worked to address them.

The sheets seemed to have been recently washed, however, dog hair remained on the sheet. Screen porch had hole in screen and hot tub seemed to be partly working. Upstairs has an air hockey table that was fun but barely worked. We did not try to contact the host during the stay to fix these issues. We bought new sheets and changed them out and enjoyed our short stay. We did let VRBO know when we sent our exit text so that things could be fixed prior to next renter. :)

Wonderful, well-appointed cabin

It's a lovely cabin close to Helen. We were impressed with the cleanliness as well as all of the kitchen essentials - you won't need a thing. It's very comfortable and you'll leave feeling refreshed! There was a beautifully landscaped garden that we discovered as well. I would definitely recommend the property and would stay there again.

Nice cabin in the woods

Cabin is nice and spacious. Up at mountain road, low cars beware. Plenty of parking. Bed were comfortable. Easy check in. We had a few issues, David the property manager was effective and communicated well. Close to Helen.

Very quiet, isolated. Gravel access road a challenge. Best Sautee N. restaurant (Bernie's) closed, had to go into very crowded Helen's for decent restaurant. Mattresses need to be replaced.

Beautiful cabin

We walked in to fond a beautiful Christmas tree and Christmas music playing. The cabin was spotless and smelled so clean. The wood floors inside were gorgeous and cabin was very well equipped. The hot tub looked brand new and provided many great soaks for us. Area is very private and quiet. Your cares will melt away. It was great building a nice fire each evening. Highly recommend.

The cabin comfortably fit 4 adults. The location was perfect for the various hikes that we took and a short distance to Helen. It was a short drive from the main road but still far enough in to feel you're in the woods. The side road appears very steep but we were able to go up without 4WD. Very private setting. Hot tub was nice. Beds were comfortable. The cabin was nicely decorated for Christmas, and the TV had a projected fire on for extra ambiance. Nice loft area with games and air hockey. Kitchen was fully stocked as we cooked in most nights. We had a slight problem when we first checked in but it was resolved within the hour. We would gladly stay again.

We had a very nice stay. The cabin and location was peaceful and the host was responsive to our requests. We even had a visit from a large black bear one afternoon. However, there were a couple of areas that needed some attention. The windows, especially the top ones, were very hazy, making it difficult to see the mountains. The other one was a buildup of leaves on the deck and inside the screened porch by the Jacuzzi. We took the time to sweep everything out upon our arrival to prevent tracking them inside. Overall, the cabin is great and an excellent place to relax and immerse yourself in nature.

Comfortable stay we enjoyed with our two dogs

Very cozy cabin that has everything you may need. Very clean except I am pretty sure the master bed sheets were not changed. They appeared as if someone had just climbed out of the bed - loose and wrinkly with hair on it. We ended up washing them before we slept on the bed. I feel this could have been an oversight as everything else was immaculate. The drive to the cabin is gravel and steep so be prepared. Beautiful, cozy, private view. We would definitely stay here again.
