Cozy, Comfortable Cabin

We enjoyed our stay. It was a quiet area, which was what we were looking for as we wanted to have some downtime. Cabin was fully stocked, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the back porch swing, fire pit and the kids loved the games provided. Communication was excellent.

The property was excellent and suited our needs perfectly. TV in the bedroom would have been nice. The entry way from the main road needs to be repaired. Too much of a dip and my wife’s mobility scooter carrier was dragging on the ground.

Marilee Cottage

This was a great cabin to stay in while we were exploring Helen. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Except for a hair dryer...bring one if you stay here. It was close to town and the state park, but felt secluded. The pool table was great entertainment for my kids while we waited out the rain. Definitely recommend!

Great cabin near Helen!

We loved the cabin and the location! The only issues we had was that there wasn’t a hair dryer in either of the bathrooms. Also the thermostat didn’t seem accurate. But we loved it anyway and would stay there again, if we get the chance!

Marilee cabin

The cabin is beautiful. When walking in, it reminded me of my childhood staying at our family cabin. We were hoping to use the fire pit but rain prevented that. The fireplace was warming. Attractions were close by. There were pamphlets and maps in the cabin to aide in getting around. The list on the refrigerator of restaurants and stores was a great help. The pool table was a bonus entertainment. Plenty of board games were provided.

Taking the grands to the mountains

Just what we needed! One level, cozy, plenty of games, space to play! Large open living area so that the garlands could l be together with the adults! We all loved playing pool! And, the nightly s’mores by the fire pit! And, the easy access to Helen. Great time!

A great respite in the woods.

The 2 bed 2 bath Marilee cabin was perfect for our trip to Helen and Unicoi. We had 4 adults and a toddler. We loved the fireplace and back patio also the beds and pillows were excellent compared to others we've been to. The driveway can be tough and may require a 4 wheel drive or SUV as it is STEEP and can get icy The house felt very homey and we enjoyed the pool table and VHS tapes.

Comfy cabin

We had a wonderful sister’s weekend at the cottage. Very clean and had enough utensils, pots and pans for us to cook with. We loved sitting on the screened porch listening and enjoying quiet nature all around us. We played pool into the night enjoying ourselves. Very close to the state park where we hiked and saw Ruby Falls. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us!
