Note, we named these Hilltop Hideout because they are located at the top of a hill. Walking to town is an option (my kids always choose it), but it is steep. Plan accordingly.

Bachelorette Party

Absolutely perfect for our stay in downtown Helen! The property was clean and updated and was a great location that was central to the heart of Helen. Karen was extremely helpful and responsive when it came to answering questions and helping us with extra parking. This rental is perfect for a girls getaway and even a family getaway. Would definitely stay again!

Stop Searching! This is your cabin!

Seriously this cabin is amazing. It was spotless when we arrived! That's a big bonus for me. We had 10 people in our party, 4 kids, 2 teenagers, and 4 adults and we never felt crowded. The different levels make it feel so big. The hottub was clean and such an added bonus. We did see the friendly bear a few times, which was fun. The location is perfect. The kids love the game room, the adult kids too! Lol We hope to come back soon! I can't thank Karen enough for a wonderful vacation!

Birthday get away

The wife wanted to go to a cabin with our friends for her 40th birthday. Found this cabin at a very reasonable price. I’m always a little worried when I book cabins that I have never stayed at or seen in person, but I can not express how impressed I was with this cabin! We had 8 adults and had plenty of room for everyone with no complaints. The place is modern and updated, as well as clean and stocked with everything needed for the weekend stay. We go to Helen on a yearly trip for Octoberfest and will definitely be looking to book here again.

Friends' getaway

This place is great exactly like it said in the listing even the 0.5 miles to town and the hill :) it. You can walk it but it is steep. Very clean and plenty of space for the 8 of us. The owner was very good in corresponding to questions. We would definitely go again and stay there

Neighbor

Rental was fantastic. The ONLY issue was the neighbors at the top of the hill kept calling the cops on cars parked in the culdesac. Noone was parked on or in front of her house, just to close in proximity to her property.

Great little house with a great location

We had a great time here. Home was clean and kitchen was stocked. Has coffee, filters, and powdered creamer all left from previous visitors. Oil to cook with as well. Hot tub was nice and the walk into town was maybe 10 minutes at most. Beds were more firm than we would like and found it strange that living room and dining room are on different floors. Other than that, we really enjoyed our time.

Great house in Helen

The house was perfect and the host was super responsive and communicative. The only thing I'd caution is that while the location is very close to town, it is up a fairly steep hill which makes walking back a little difficult. Other than that everything was even better than in the listing.

Family Wedding

Our family rented the three chalets on the street that are side by side and it worked out beautifully! At one point when we had 25 people together for a pre dinner gathering it was a bit crowded but the “teenagers” were easily able to just walk next door to hang out which tremendously eased the overcrowding. The bedrooms worked out great for everyone as we had 3 teenage girls in one room (each had their own bed) and 2 boys in the opposite bedroom (each with their own bed). In addition, there were 2 nice bedrooms for the adults. Great location off Main Street Helen but up high on the hill so was very quiet for sleeping. Well equipped kitchen and 2 beautiful decks. Our host was so accommodating and easy to work with. We had no issues at all while there and I highly recommend, especially for families who need lots of sleeping space!

Magical Chalet

This was an amazing experience for me and so many if my family. We booked last minute and received much more than we asked for. This place had everything. The amount of care and planning that had to go into this home for others seems unreal. We were able to find anything we needed in the Chalet. It was absolutely Magical.

Wonderful house

Beautiful new home. Beautiful views of the woods. Very clean. Very nice furnishings. Hot tub was fun. Grill was a great bonus. Would DEFINITELY recommend this home. But: I would not allow any member of my family to even consider walking the road down to the town. No sidewalks. Very steep. Extremely steep drop off. Very narrow areas. Having said that, TOTALLY WORTH IT just to drive down and pay the $10 for all day, go and come back later if you want, parking.

About the host

Hosted by Karen

I am a real estate broker in Orlando, FL who loves N GA and owns 3 homes in Helen. My family of 7 vacations in Helen frequently. We love the hiking, tubing, and German beer! Running these VRBOs has been so much fun and I love hosting my guests.

Why they chose this property

This property is super clean! Strategically located 1/4 of a mile up a hill from downtown Helen. Many people choose to walk to the activities in town. The back porches are so relaxing. In the winter, it is a mountain view. In the summer, you are looking at a deep green brush which is full of wildlife and wonder. There is plenty of space to spread out and a fantastic work space.

What makes this property unique

This house is uniquely decorated and ready for a large family or multiple families. When you stay here, you will be refreshed as you enjoy all beauty, location, and charm that this home offers. This is the chalet that my family rents for Christmas. You will love the large farmhouse table which allows for great family and friends to sit together to eat, laugh, and make memories.
