This place took everything into consideration, and was the most kid friendly place we’ve ever stayed. So many games and incredible outdoor space. Beautiful and secluded. We loved staying here!
Loved it! The only negative is the smell of sheets, pillowcases and towels - like cigarette smoke and really strong laundry detergent. Everything else was fantastic!
My family enjoyed the coziness of the cabin. The setting is removed and we didn’t have neighbors right on top of us which was a huge bonus. The cabin was well appointed and had everything we needed. Lots of games and activities to keep my children who range from 7-19 years old entertained! The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was in the mornings when I was not ready to get up yet, it sounded like the children in the loft were right beside me in the downstairs bedroom. Wasn’t a super big deal to us but worth mentioning in case anyone is looking for privacy in the bedroom :)
All (4) ladies were extremely happy with the cabin, location and correspondence with the hostess. It was quite peaceful and close to downtown Helen and several wineries. Highly recommend this little cabin and would certainly stay there again!
My family and I had the most fun at this property. The cabin is in a great area and we saw bears daily. This was one of the most memorable vacations that we have had in a long time. We also loved the porch and firepit area.
This cabin was perfect for our family. There is something for all age groups. We used the hot tub, played connect 4 on the screened in porch and just enjoyed our time away. It is located minutes from Downtown Helen and is within an hour of several beautiful waterfalls. We loved our stay.

This day was amazing it was nice quiet and remote just as we wanted for a honeymoon it took less than seven minutes to get to town where there were many options for dining drinking and shopping overall the trip was amazing.
My only complaint was 4 people stayed in the cabin with three rolls of toilet paper and a half a roll of paper towels and two trash bags. And the pots and pans are really outdated they need to be upgraded to a better quality.

Loved the property especially all of the decks, sleeping and gathering areas, and activities. Driveway was a little more remote than expected.
This cabin was perfect for our girls trip. Cabin is up in the woods which made for the perfect getaway. Very comfortable beds and lots of room for 5 people.
We had a great trip staying at this adorable Cabin. It had everything we needed and plenty of space. My kids loved the hot tub and the games, movies and scavenger hunt they provided (especially on the rainy days). The owner was very involved and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

Adorable cabin
Adorable cabin on the mountain! Amazing hot tub!
This cabin was so much fun. Very well stocked kitchen "stuff", fun games for kids inside, games outside, fire pit surrounded by chairs. Super close to helen and all the fun things there. The house was a good size. I was worried about only having one shower with 5 people but honestly it was no problem. Very nice to have big beds upstairs. With two teenage boys (one is 6'5" and the other 6'2") they usually get stuck on twin beds for vacation so they were super happy with their sleeping arrangements :)
They even provided 2 packs of laundry detergent and dish soap.
The contact person was really great while we were there. They answered any questions we had very quickly via text.
The only thing I will say is if you are very picky about towels and sheets you might want to pack your own. The ones there were fine but that's just a personal thing for me.
Also no dishwasher. I was glad I packed paper products.
Definitely would recommend!

This property was perfect for our girls weekend! Wendy (the owner) never hesitated to answer any questions (which were many) and was super helpful! This cabin is more beautiful then the pictures and the beds were super comfortable! The hot tub was a selling point for booking this property and it didn’t disappoint at all.
All in all I would definitely suggest booking this property if you are looking to stay in Helen, Ga.
We had a wonderful anniversary at the cabin. It was private, quiet and the perfect fall getaway location. The hot tub was relaxing and we enjoyed the firepit each night. They even provided the items to make S'mores! I do suggest bringing your own firewood because there wasn't any stocked beforehand. Kitchen was stocked with all cooking items so cooking in was easy. We enjoyed the rocking chairs for coffee in the mornings and the screened in porch during the early evenings. We would definitely stay here again.
The property feels very secluded, with lots of forest around, but is conveniently near both Helen and the Unicoi State Park. Has a very rustic feel and the children in our group loved playing and exploring outside as well as making s’mores around the campfire. It had a great combination of feeling a little like camping with the benefits of a clean home and comfortable beds. We had some great excursions during the day, and came home to enjoy the tranquility of the cabin afterwards. We were all sad to leave at the end of our trip!
