This was a perfect escape to destress. Hot tub was nice. Fireplace was cozy. It was nice. The only real issue, was no oven mits, and only one steak knife. Everything else was just fine.

Second time at Bear's Rest

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I enjoyed staying at Bear's Rest again; it's a cute little cabin. Everything was clean and it's close to Helen and Unicoi State Park. My only suggestions are that the mattress in the bedroom could stand to be replaced/updated, and it would be nice to have some curtains or blinds for privacy at the back door.

The drive itself was full of beautiful scenery. While Helen, GA was full of people and traffic, the cabin was not. We enjoyed our stay!

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.

Wonderful stay!!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was very easy to navigate to, on the outskirts of Helen. Great location! It’s an adorable property, clean, and the process of booking was painless, quick, and Sherry was on top of emails and calls. We were celebrating our honeymoon and even had a cute bottle of Prosecco and some silk pillowcases that was such a sweet gesture! There was also WiFi in the cabin which was an added bonus. We didn’t have any issues with our stay but Sherry still followed up with a courtesy call to make sure we were comfortable and to see if we needed anything. We will definitely be renting from Georgia Mountain Rentals again! We can’t wait to come back! Thank you Sherry and team! We appreciate it!

Couple of days getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a last-minute booking, the reservation agent was super helpful and kind. The main intent for the getaway was to relax in a hot tub and disconnect from the daily routine. To our surprise, the hot tub was not the cleanest, the water smelled like mold instead of disinfectant. I called the desk and they immediately sent someone who brought a new floater with disinfectant tablets (the one we found had no tablets inside). Of note, we had used this rental company in the past a few times and the hot tubs always smelled clean. The kitchen furniture was dated which did not bother me, but the shower was sparkling white! The cabin next door was pretty close, thankfully no one was there so we had some privacy getting in and out the hot tub. The other neighbor’s dog barked a lot, made me wonder if they were in vacation there or lived there, because that cabin had clutter around it, which made me feel a little unsafe. The city of Helen is minutes away with plenty of things to do and great restaurants.
