Perfect Mountain Getaway

This property was perfect for our weekend away! It was very clean, easy to find, loved the private location and hot tub in the deck. They were very accommodating and we really appreciated our fur friend being welcomed as well. They left extra towels for him and the gate on the deck was perfect to allow him in and out. We would definitely stay at this property again if we’re ever back in the area! Also, thanks for having a corkscrew in the kitchen for my wine!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed with Georgia Mountain Rentals last year in a different cabin (just the two of us cabin) and it was wonderful! We decided to go back again this year and stayed in Cherokee 5, it was just as great! We love the private decks with the hot tubs and fire pit! Great place to relax and unwind after enjoying all the festivities in town. Location is perfect not too far from town and not too close to the hustle and bustle. We will definitely be back again!!

Nice out if the way location

It was nice. The only thing that would have made it better is if there were instructions on how to use the multiple remotes for different devices. The heat/ac unit was a bit if a challenge but thanks to Google I kinda figured it out. Never could figure out the fireplace.

Perfect Distance to Attractions

Cabin is a quick drive to Helen and the surrounding waterfalls/attractions, but still in quiet area. Management was friendly and helpful. Neither the fireplace or the outdoor fire pit were working, and they sent a nice man to help fix them, he was only able to get the fireplace working. The place is cute in photos, but outdated and bit rundown in person. Floor coming up, kitchen counters broken, older/well used kitchen supplies, inside lock on front door broken, and outdated/over extended electrical outlets. Wasn't horrible, but not the best either. Was Ok for a quick getaway but not impressed enough to rent again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a pretty good stay at the cabin. The property was as described it was clean, spacious and comfortable. It was close enough to the main area of Helen. There were a few items that would have made our stay much better. The Streaming TV kept going out. Once someone came and reprogrammed, the second time we were told we would have to wait until the following day which was the day we were leaving. So we tried to watch a DVD but the TV had no sound. The Fire pit propane tank was empty so we didn’t get to enjoy that either. The 2 coffee makers that were there were very dirty. We had to clean before we could use them. Not quite the value for the cost. We would rate overall a 3 out of 5.

We had an amazing time at the cabin. Everything was perfect and clean. They have a dog gate around the porch , left treats and pup shampoo for us also. We were early and able to check in with the help of Stephanie. The cabin is probably 5 minutes from Unicoi for hiking and not even 10 from Helen.

Cute getaway

The property was nice for a weekend getaway, close to Helen and lots of sightseeing. We wanted a quiet getaway, which this was. We also wanted a hottub and fireplace, which is why we rented this cabin. The kitchen was well appointed, it had everything you could need to make complete meals, minus the food.The biggest drawback, and our only complaints are in regard to the hottub and the fireplace, both are the primary reasons we rented this particular cabin, both were disappointing. The hottub jets did not work well, and the hottub did not hold a consistent temperature. The outdoor firepit worked well, the indoor fireplace did not work. We were told to jiggle the logs to get it to light, that didnt work, it only extinguised the pilot light, which we were unable to light again. It would have been helpful to have a manual with operating instructions.The cabin in general was basically clean. The floor could have been a little cleaner, or maybe a swiffer left behind so we could touch it up. The cute record player was a nice touch. A fun addition. All in all, we were happy with the rest of our stay at the cabin, it would have been great if everything worked.I recommend this rental if you want a quiet stay. I don't recommend it if you are looking forward to using the hottub or fireplace. We would have saved the extra money and rented a cabin in the state park, or one of the many other cabins for rent, instead.

One good thing: GPS actually took us straight to it! It's secluded and quiet. However, the whole cabin desperately needs a make over. The kitchen needs a new microwave, the fridge had hair in it and needed to be cleaned. ait,angues

Comfortable Mountain Retreat

Cute little cabin on top of the hill. Very private at the end of the dead end. Cabin is well equipped. Television wasn't the best reception, but we weren't there to watch tv. Bring a fire stick or other streaming device and you'll be fine. Great WIFI. Hot tub was nice at night with the gas fire pit going next to it. Close to Helen and Anna Ruby falls.

Absolutely Perfect Week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cherokee # 5 was perfect and at 2.5 hours away, it just became our run to get away. This cottage was perfect for two people and our two dogs. It was private, quiet, and so relaxing. The hot tub was amazing. It was easy to find from Helen, GA, and was completely as stated, fully equipped for a very comfortable week. Georgia Mountain Rental staff was attentive, courteous, and cared for any needs. 1st time in Helen Ga. This was the best of both worlds. The cottage was a beautiful retreat after a day of tubing, dining, and shopping

False Description of Property

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin is listed as having 2 bedrooms. It does not. This set the tone for our stay, and although we had a great time in Helen, where we have been many times, it was shocking to be so totally misled about the cabin. Be honest. By itself, it’s a great little property. But it does not have 2 bedrooms.
