The newly renovated Cameron House Retreat is nestled in the foothills of Northeast GA wine country, and sits at the base of Mt. Yonah, and butts up to the Chatahoochee National Forest, a short walk from our property.
This sprawling 5 bedroom, 4 full bath home is like no other in the area.
Our home is located halfway between famous Alpine Helen and historical Cleveland, just 1.5 miles off Hwy. 75, and only 90 minutes NE of Atlanta.
This area is quickly becoming known as THE premier spot for excellent wines, with more than a dozen local, highly rated wineries for enthusiasts to tour and taste!
Convenient to restaurants, boutiques, sports activities, nature trails with beautiful waterfalls, scenic drives and quaint towns, Cameron House Retreat is the ideal vacation spot for adults and children alike.
Kids can spend hours tubing down a lazy river, go miniature golfing, go carting, panning for gold, or enjoy a day at the water park, all minutes away!
Enjoy roasting marshmallows by a campfire down by a private shared lake, take a rowboat out for a little fishing, a pedal boat out for a little paddling, relax in our shaded pavilion, or just sit on the dock and take in the breath-taking million dollar views.
With wrap around porches, a hot tub, a large extended back deck, and a warm and cozy environment, our home is a stand-out. With many nooks and crannies, it is small enough to curl up in a favorite corner with a book, yet large enough to secure the privacy of up to 14 adults, and 3 infants!
Each area has it's own unique theme and personality. The main floor has a fully equipped farmhouse style eat-in kitchen, a den with a gas fireplace, 2 bedrooms, a full bath, a dining room, laundry room, and a large living room with a wood burning fireplace for chilly nights.
One flight up leads you to the master bedroom with vaulted ceilings and private terrace, another guest bedroom, and full bath, and a private wing that sleeps 6.
NEW! A 500 sq. ft. detached game room for playing poker, ping-pong, Foosball, pool, and air hockey while watching sports on a 60" flat screen TV! Room for little kids, (big kids too), to color and play board games.
Be prepared to be enchanted by our relaxing and secluded mountain retreat. And please don't think of it as going away, just think of it as coming home...

Check in was easy. Great location to the trails and Helen. The hot tub was awesome. I used it several nights to relax after enjoying the nearby hiking trails. The house was very welcoming and the game room was used every night. Our 2 year old niece used the outdoor played every day. It was a great stay. Would stay at this location again.

Perfect location!!!! So close to Helen to enjoy the Helen Christmas Festivities, and still secluded in the beautiful mountains. The house is everything I hoped it would be when bringing the family in from 3 different states. We had small busy children with us and the playground was a huge hit. This house is a 10 out of 10. We'll be back.

Our little heaven on earthWe were a group of 74 teenage boys and three adult adults enjoying the for holiday. Everything was immaculate. We have one little hiccup with the hot tub and the air pump to pump up the bicycle tires. We contacted the host and they sent a repairman to fix it immediately I was so impressed. They even pumped up the wheels on my wheelchair for me. Everything was clean and spacious and oh so many things to do the kids loved having their own detached playroom with all of the pool tables and chess games and ping-pong and such my 17-year-old grandson and I were sitting on the back porch and I sneezed and he laughed, and he said grandma your sneezes echoed throughout the whole area such a thrill to see the night lights in the sky. You know the natural ones that God created. We will definitely be back again thank you so much for your hospitality and all the beautiful surroundings

Staying at Cameron House Retreat for our annual birthday trip with our twin 13-year-old boys and our family friends was an absolutely wonderful experience in every way. The house was so well kept and furnished with every conceivable amenity that it seemed the owners lived there full time and had just left to allow us to stay. Because Helen has so many options for dining, we only cooked one night but had everything we needed. The children enjoyed the hot tub, fishing in the lake, and playing all the games in the game room. There was only one issue, and it is only worth mentioning because the owner had it addressed immediately and came the very next morning to ensure everything was handled. We can’t wait to go back!!!! We love Cameron House Retreat!!!

Great mountain stay!

Plenty of room for 6 adults and 6 kids to stay while playing in a baseball tournament at Yonah Preserve. Hot tub was great for the kids and adults. Beautiful walk down to the pond and great mountain views from the back porch! Robert and Debbi were VERY good about checking in to make sure everything was ok. Extremely accommodating and helpful throughout our stay. Would definitely stay here again!

The “ rental “ feels like a home. We had everything we could ever want for a few days and more. The beds were so comfortable. The house was super clean. We appreciate not having to buy spices to cook. Love how you can spread out in two different sitting rooms. My 83 year old dad said he couldn’t imagine a better place for our family to have stayed as we said goodbye to a beloved family member. The views from the house are amazing. The privacy … amazing. Beautiful birds, deer, and even caught a couple of fish ( returned them to their homes ). This house is a family house. It was perfect for our family. The house is easy to get to and was centrally located to all of our destinations. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. We would have loved to have our grands, as the property is kid friendly, sadly circumstances didn’t allow. Thank you! We would love to visit again!

Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We had a wonderful time. The reason I gave you four stars for cleanliness, when we got there on Friday we noticed there was quite a bit of green mildew, mold on the front porch railing and we had to clean that up along with the chairs on the front porch. Thank you for cleaning the hot tub for us during our visit as the children really enjoyed that. We do wish there might’ve been curtains on the windows in the bedroom that block the sun so that we didn’t have to get up at 6 when the sun came up. It also would’ve had been nice to have hangers available. Those are just minor things and we truly want to thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. Thanks also for providing the sticks for tubing. Pam

Great Getaway Resort

Very impress with the retreat home, the home was clean and spacious. It was well stocked and everything was organized in the kitchen and bathroom. The property manager and the owners were pleasant and kind. The only down side is that on the last day there were issues with the water well so water supply was slim to none. Overall it was a great place.

About the host

Hosted by Robert & Debbi Sloane

Host profile image
We are native New Yorkers, born and raised, but have lived in South Florida for the past 20 years, where we work and play and enjoy our family; especially our twin grandchildren who turn 5 this October.

Why they chose this property

Our family vacationed here in 2012 and fell in love with the area, and knew we had to come here again and again. It took some doing, but we finally convinced the previous owners, Carol and Greg Crumley, to sell!
Northeast Georgia is called the 'gateway to the mountains'. With balmy days, and cool nights, this home melds both of our worlds, (New York and South Florida), into one.
We are very fortunate to be able to share this amazing vacation experience with others.

What makes this property unique

Quiet Seclusion, Spectacular Views, In the heart of Wine Country, close to shopping and all attractions. Appealing to everyone!
