Tranquility
This is a beautiful property. The enclosed patio, with a swing bed was so comfy, and the sound of the creek/waterfall makes it even more relaxing. The house itself is spacious, beautifully decorated and is well stocked.We didn't venture too far away, but the location was convenient to the quaint German themed downtown area. While we didn't get to meet Dana, accessing the house was easy and she provided a great video regarding the property and its amenities. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to truly relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.Highly recommend Hootenanny!
Great getaway for my wife and I. The cabin was perfect for us. Super clean. Creekside location and very close to downtown. The owner even left lights on for us because we were after dark getting there. We would definitely recommend staying here.
The house is perfect, especially for a couple’s getaway. It’s on a beautiful treed lot with the sounds of water running in the creeks, which makes for such a peaceful place. It’s tucked away, yet very close to down town. The best part is the awesome screened in porch with a fire place, couch, and swing, You may never want to leave!
This property is absolutely amazing! Close to town but secluded and so quiet and relaxing. The creek that wraps around the house is so lovely. Our kids LOVED playing in it. The back porch is the best part! So much family fun and relaxing! 10/10

Nice peaceful spot
We really liked this clean and peaceful house. Mornings on the porch listening to the creek was the highlight.
The Hootenanny was everything we had hoped for and more! The house is gorgeous and the property is breathtaking. We booked this based on the reviews and they were all very accurate but words can not describe just how perfect it really was.
We had the most amazing time! The house is beautifully decorated, new, and had everything we could need. Kids loved the bunks and the s’mores. The sounds of the creek right outside was so relaxing. Very close to downtown Helen too. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Hi Brenna, Thank you! We're so glad you had an amazing stay, and we hope you come back soon to Hootenanny. The kids will love the sandy “beach” on the creek in the summer!
Really exceptional visit and stay at Hootenanny...everything was immaculate and had all kinds of little token of appreciation. Great communication and host. Will be back for sure..
We loved our stay at Hootenanny at Horton Creek! Dana was an awesome hostess and provided many extras to make our stay more enjoyable. If you are looking for a relaxing, peaceful home with the sound of waterfall & a cozy setting, this is your place! We will be back again!
We love staying here! Dana is absolutely amazing and the house is so peaceful, relaxing, clean and she always has the perfect touches to make everything just right and then some. Truly the perfect place to stay 😊
Nestled next to stream with beautiful view of the hilly countryside. Excellent place to rest and relax in a wonderful setting. The house was immaculately furnished and maintained.
Everything from the check-in to the check-out was exactly everything we could have asked for. Close to town (Helen), quiet, peaceful. So many ways to relax. Just wish we could’ve stayed longer.
Home was exactly as described. Everything was so neat, clean, and thoughtfully laid out. Natural landscape surrounding property is beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. Owner is very communicative and helpful. Hope to come back next year

Very Nice!
Our stay was awesome. A very modern and relaxing atmosphere. All of the conveniences and more were thought of by the owner. From the moment we arrived, we felt relaxed and comfortable. The entire property is beautiful. We definitely will be returning again.
I did not expect it to be exactly like the pictures.. place is nice and clean, very comfortable, easy communicating with the owner, very super friendly. I'd like if there was a hut tub though, it'd of helped to have a relaxing vacation.
This property was everything it was described as. Incredible location with a beautiful creek. Very clean with all the necessary amenities. Love the screened in porch with the calming waterfall sounds 10 feet away.

Beautiful and relaxing!
This is probably our 5th stay here and we absolutely love it. A beautiful home and amazing creek that runs through the property. The screened porch is my favorite for listening to the waterfall and creek. We will be back soon!
