Grandparents and son's family of five boys from Miami, Florida stayed the week before Christmas. We had a great time being together and there was plenty to do in and around Helen, Georgia. The home was very clean, well decorated, and had lots of games available including pool and air hockey. We did not use the hot tub due to the weather, but we did use the fire ring in the back yard to make s'mores. The four bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the gas fireplace made the inside comfortable.
The only real complaint was about the front steps. The door threshold is several inches above the top step and the storm door closes so quickly that it can catch your foot before you have time to get inside. That may seem to be a minor inconvenience, but it did cause a couple of trips at the door.
The location is very secluded and private while offering reasonable access to Helen and Cleveland.
Overall, we had a great time and would recommend staying at the Lazy Bear Cottage!
