About this property

Bordering The National Forest. The Bear Affair Cabin.

  • The Bear Affair Cabin will romance you with its rustic charm and warmth.
    This beautifully decorated, all wood, cozy cabin is nestled on the edge of
    The Chattahoochee National Forest, with end of the road privacy, just six minutes from Helen. Close enough to see & do everything, far enough to feel like your miles away.

    Bear Affair has everything you need to enjoy the serene outdoors. Each side of this adorable cabin offers a vista of the surrounding forest. Look closely and you might even see a deer bounding across the drive. Enjoy barbecuing and sampling some of the local favorites on the dining deck aglow in soft amber lights that illuminate the Chattahoochee National Forest.

    Relax in your own fully furnished outdoor living room, complete with cushioned rockers and a love seat made for two or unwind in the warm, therapeutic waters of the spacious, private hot tub complete with a panoramic view of the surrounding forest and custom built stacked stone fire pit.

    You wont leave behind the comforts of home as you sleep in the grand, king-sized log bed in the upstairs master loft bedroom, sip wine by the fire, or create a gourmet meal in the fully equipped kitchen. Come, relax and enjoy and begin your love affair with The Bear Affair. Bear Affair sleeps two. We've added a downstairs sofa-sleeper for a third party.

The cabin was exactly as advertised, in fact, even better! Everything was clean and well organized. We came to go to Octoberfest in Helen, so location was perfect. Would love to come back but being from Wisconsin it is a bit of a trek.

We had a beautiful winter birthday weekend at the Bear Affair !!! Tracy has an amazing, cozy cabin and has thought of everything you could possibly need. The highlight of our trip was watching the snow fall from the wonderful comfy king bed !!! The attention to detail is by far the best !!! It was just amazing and Tracy is a super super host. She made sure we were very comfortable!!! We look forward to many trips at the Bear Affair !!

Amazing honeymoon mostly thanks to the cabin

The cabin didn't leave much to be desired. It had all the essentials we have at our home. We liked the idea of being away from others but not so far away we couldn't reach anyone. So we enjoyed the cabins surroundings also.

Best place to stay for the holidays. They decorated the cabin beautifully. Alot of time and thought was put into this property. The hot tub was preheated for us upon arrival making chilly nights alot of fun. Besides traveling into Helen or the local area, we enjoyed nights staying in with a fire and movie going. This cabin was the perfect get away.

A wonderful place to relax and leave the “real world” behind for a while. My wife and I loved the hot tub. The pull out sofa was perfect for curling up to watch a movie. The driveway is long and narrow but we had no issues navigating it in our small SUV. Just follow the advice on the signs about driving slowly. Tracy was responded very quickly to the only question we had during our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful weekend getaway.

Just spent the weekend with my wife at the Bear affair. It was wonderful. The cabins is put together very well. Nice outdoor spaces in the hot tub and seating area under the porch and a sunny breakfast table on the uncovered porch. The cabin is about 5 feet from the national forest. There are neighbors but the cabin is situated in such as way as to still be very private.
