Our Bicycle team stayed in this house for our spring training camp. The house was amazing and provided great off the bike fun and activities.

Had a great time 2ed time staying at the property would definitely go back again

We have been coming to the North Georgia and North Carolina mountains for years with our family for a combined Thanksgiving-Christmas hybrid get together with our grown children and grandchildren. This year’s trip was later than our usual early-November trip due to a new grand baby birth. We always look for a large home with lots of room for the eight adults and the five grand babies to spread out and NOT get in each other’s way. We also look for places that are more “isolated” and not bunched into a neighborhood per se. Mansion Bear Manor is THE PERFECT place for this kind of a trip. First and foremost, it was the cleanest place we’ve ever rented (and we don’t EVER rent a place that isn’t super-nice and billed as luxury). It was also LOADED with things for everyone of all ages to do to stay titillated. The weather wasn’t all that nice this go around (rainy and dreary) but it forced us to stay inside and just enjoy each other. The gigantic game room upstairs with all sorts of video games, ping pong, basketball shot, skee ball, and TONS of room for the kids was perfect for this! And the best part was that ALL of the games actually WORKED! Many times we go to places that have a game room that has literally less than half of its stuff in working order. Mansion Bear Manor also has a full-blown casino downstairs that we barely scratched the surface on. Most of the adults were too exhausted or maybe over-served to fully enjoy our adult time after all the kids had hit the hay. The home is fully-furnished with very nice furniture and the kitchen was fully-outfitted with anything and everything you could ask for as a guest. All of the bedrooms were cozy and well-appointed. The house is a literal museum of taxidermy with mouthed animals from Africa to North America represented. It also have five brand new AC units so each zone of the home had very nice Nest thermostats and no part of the house was uncomfortable temperature-wise. Since it was rainy on the day of our departure, it was super convenient to have a large garage that we could pull the truck into to load vs getting everything soaking wet which would have been unavailable otherwise. The view from the porches are all awesome! I literally can’t think of anything bad to say about this home. Not one thing. Anthony, the owner, was extremely helpful and attentive to each of my questions or requests. Very accommodating to say the least! I will definitely be renting this home again

We were a group of fourteen family members ages 2 to 78 years old. Everyone had a great time in this spacious house with amazing views from all the rooms. The game room for the youngsters and the casino type room for the adults were fabulous. Loved the cleanliness of the place, the comfortable beds, and the proximity to fun places in Helen and Blue Ridge cities. The Thanksgiving Day dinner was cooked in the completely equipped kitchen. The host was extremely helpful and immediately answered our questions.

This house is AMAZING. The house is beautiful, as is the property. We had a large group with all ages, and everyone loved it. The adults and kids stay well entertained between the casino, gym, and game room. We saw plenty of wildlife too; deer, bears, and turkeys. I think this is our favorite house we’ve ever stayed at.

We had a great time. Even though it rained most of the time we found plenty to do. The game room and hot tub were a hit. Some of the games were out of order but the kids and adults still had fun. All the amenities were included. Lots of things to do within an hour of the house. Highly recommend this beautiful property for a large gathering.

Our family had the best time at this mountain house!! Cannot say enough good things about it. The multiple game rooms were so much fun and so many great memories were made!!

This house is absolutely amazing!! There is never a dull moment while in this house. The views are stunning and the area has so many things to do. It’s the perfect location.

Would love to stay again.

We had a great time and experience at Mansion Bear Manor. Anthony was very attentive as a host and gave good recommendations for things to do. The house was full of interesting decor and fun activities like the casino room and game room. Location was perfect as it felt really remote but was close to town. Would definitely stay there again.

This is a huge, gorgeous home in excellent condition. It was surprisingly easy to get to given that, once there, the setting was extremely private. The mountain views from the first-floor porch are great (a really nice place for the 10 adults on this trip to gather for morning coffee or evening cocktails). The pool table room, casino and game room were fun places to gather in smaller groups. We cooked all our breakfasts and dinners at the house and appreciated the well-stocked kitchen (best equipment of any vacation home I've rented before). The hot tub is huge (not sure they make them any bigger!). Communication with the homeowner could not have been any better. He was clearly invested in making sure our stay was first-rate. I'm looking forward to a return visit!

What a wonderful stay. Everything about the house was fantastic and really worked out well for our 3 families. The kids spent a lot of time in the arcade room and the parents really enjoyed the casino and fire pit! Also a great location as we were able to do several hikes and do some horseback riding. Thanks so much!

This house was amazing! We knew we booked a large house but the pictures online doesn’t do it justice. It’s so big you can get lost in it when you first arrive! We enjoyed every minute of our stay. We hung out a lot in lower level where the casino room and billiards table was located! Grilled out every night. Hung out by the fire pit. Hung out in the hot tub. Hung out in the game room. Communicating with Anothony, the owner was top notch. Always responds immediately! Great golf courses nearby and had a great time at the casino which was about 40 min away. Highly recommend and I will be booking this house again!

Reserved the house for our annual friends trip with 12 people. House was immaculate and every bit what it was advertised as. Spacious floor layout and amenities made for a very relaxing experience. Plenty to do in the house if you choose to stay in and close enough to visit the surrounding Helens area. Owner was very professional and responded with answers to any questions I had. Highest recommendation for anyone needing a spacious retreat for a large group.

This home is beautiful and was like having a mountain lodge all to ourselves. The setting and the views are incredible! A lot of amazing outdoor space including the fire pit which we thoroughly enjoyed. The bedrooms are all large and very comfortable. We even had a sleep number mattress in the master! Now, the kitchen... very well appointed with anything you could possibly need to cook with. There wasn’t A thing we needed that wasn’t there. The kids loved the game room upstairs and the adults loved the gaming room downstairs, and everyone enjoyed the impressive collection of wildlife on display. Thank you Anthony for being so accommodating! Definitely recommend

The house was incredible, it’s even better than what the pictures show. The owner was also excellent to work with. Extremely nice and even checked in to make sure everything was perfect for us. It felt more like staying with family than renting a house. Best experience I have had with any vacation property.

If you are planning a quality time with friends and family with kids ( kids, college kids) or even with just couples, this is the place where you want to be...away from the city, a lot of fun things to do in the house ( no need to go outside) spectacular views, plenty rocking chairs, fire pit, 2 full kitchen inside the house and much more...Our host was always very prompt and kind to respond to our questions and concerns. If you are planning your next trip...Big house...clean and nice..this is it!!!..Thank you so much!!
