Property is exactly as described. My husband loves to fly fish and he loves the location right on Helton Creek. We lost count of how many trout he caught. He wants to make this an annual trip!

We’re so glad High on Helton was exactly what you were hoping for and that your husband had such a great time fly fishing on Helton Creek—it sounds like the trout were definitely biting! There’s nothing better than finding a spot you love so much that it becomes a tradition. We’d be honored to welcome you back for your annual fishing trip! Take care, Sherrie

The cabin was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Although the driveway was described as steep, and it was, it was drivable and walkable. The property overlooks the creek below and was relaxing to listen to while we sat on the deck.

The beds were extremely comfortable, unlike most rental locations. The hot tub did a great job of helping unwind. I honestly expected more fish, but overall we had a great time. The only problem we encountered was buying beer, you should definitely do so before you get there

We were looking for a quiet getaway and could not have found a more perfect place! The cabin was exactly as shown. All amenities were wonderful! Comfy beds, plenty of room and beyond peaceful listening to the sounds of the creek. We had to call for a fan problem with the fridge. It was taken care of immediately....even on a holiday weekend.

Hi, We are glad overall you loved the location and surroundings at High On Helton! As soon as we were aware of the wasp issue, we contacted the regular pest control company to take care of it so that it was not ongoing at all. We were not aware of any mold in the wash machine or we would have had the housekeeping clean that. We hope you will visit again. Thank You, 4 Seasons Vacation Rentals & Sales

Fantastic stay by the river

This property is very isolated and we deeply enjoyed listening to the river, the rain, and all the birds in the trees surrounding it. If you're into fishing, it looks like this would be a great spot! Otherwise, it's a fantastic house, with great decks and rec-room in a great location. Bugs aren't an issue, as I was worried they might be (being in the trees and so close to the river). The AC window unit also kept up well and the basement stays very cool on its own (although I would expect to stay a bit warmer during the height of summer, if that's an issue).

We are thankful for your 5 star review and allowing us to host you at High on Helton. We are glad you enjoyed the cabin. Helton Creek is larger and seems like it is a river below the cabin. It is locally known as one of the best trout fishing creeks! If you just want to relax and enjoy nature and the best the NC Mountains has to offer, this cabin is definitely the place to get away from the busy life and relax for a while. The trees and covered porch helping with shade is definitely a benefit to the cool setting at the cabin and the window AC is efficient and sufficient for cooling, even on warm days.

What a find!

We had a wonderful time at High on Helton. The cabin was so clean and had all of the amenities and fun extra perks like the pool table, board games and hot tub. Gas cooking- inside and out- was a plus. The deck overlooking the creek was hit with bright sun in the morning and a perfect spot to drink coffee despite the cooler morning temps. Shady in the evening and a fun spot for happy hour. The creek and whole general area was just beautiful. Outside of the cabin, we recommend the hiking trails on Mt Jefferson and a trail ride at Burnt Hill Stables- both a little over 30 minutes from the cabin. We will definitely be back.

Great Getaway

We take all our kids and all our nephews every year on a trip for their Christmas gift. This place was so much fun. The kids were never bored at all with the hot tub, game room, fire pit and river at the back door. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The only thing I have to complain about was someone threaten to call the law on us for noise and we were not even being loud and the neighbors are not close at all. You could compare how loud we were to guys watching a football game. Also there were fisherman walking all on the property to get to the river and once I found them sitting at the fire pit. That made us very cautious with letting the kids have complete free range. Other then those 2 things, we hope to visit again and would definitely recommend this quaint little house to others. 1 more thing I would recommend taking a truck if you have one. Most of the roads are gravel.
