About this cabin rental

Welcome to Bear Cub 1! Back on inventory in 2026 after renovations and redecorating, this cabin was formerly named Cricket Hill and then Helen Cabin 1.

This cozy little cabin is located in Helen. Less than half a mile from Betty's Country Store and 2 miles from Unicoi State Park, you have the best of both worlds in nature and a small Bavarian town in the North Georgia Mountains.

The master bedroom is located on the main floor. This room features a queen bed and a back deck. Enjoy a soak and massage in the indoor jetted garden tub or take a relaxing shower in the master bathroom. The loft area has a queen bed and its own bathroom with a walk-in shower. The door in the loft also leads outside to a small deck. There is also streaming television and WiFi internet service. The Roku TV channel offers free live television. Don't forget to bring your login information for your Netflix, Hulu and other channel subscriptions.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a microwave, toaster and a dual standard drip and k-cup coffee maker. Enjoy any meal al fresco with the table, umbrella and four chairs on the same deck. Please note that the fireplace at Bear Cub 1 is currently non-functional.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the trip got to bond with my daughter some more loved the cabin loved the staff at the company. The only thing is the cabin could’ve been a little bit cleaner. We had a lot of dead spiders attached to the furniture and a lot of cobwebs.

Nice place! Far enough away to feel secluded but close enough to downtown Helen to eat and shop.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
Not as pet friendly as they make it out to be make sure you read all fine print. Ended up not bringing dogs after we planned the trip specifically to bring them. Not the cleanest ever considering the dead bugs in the floors, dusty headboards, and mouse droppings on the couch. Other than that the cabin is nice and location is relaxing.
