This is a perfect place to stay if your in Helen. It's away from the city (quiet) but still close enough to all the action. We had absolutely no problems come up and felt as comfortable as if we were at our own place. This is for sure a stand-out from all the others.

This cabin was so nice and immaculantly clean! It's located within a couple of minutes from downtown Helen and very close to the water park. It had everything we needed while there, including coffee, creamer, sugar, paper towels, popcorn, condiments and much more. We loved sitting in the beautiful sunroom enjoying the view of the woods and especially liked the deck where we could hear the sounds of the creek out back. We played cards in the evenings at the poker table after grilling out on a grill that was almost like new. We're hoping to return in the very near future. We would recommend this place to everyone!

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at the Alemaigne Haus Cabin. It's a beautiful place with much peace and quiet, yet it's located only minutes to downtown. We felt as though we were miles away from everything. The owners were so nice and provided us with a bottle of red wine upon arrival. The cabin had everything we could possibly need. They not only provided a Travel Guide, maps, phamplets of information, but also a notebook filled with menus from nearby restaurants. This cabin was so clean and comfortable that we didn't want to leave. We definitely will return this summer!

Your home away from home

Guest: Daniel (Alpharetta, GA)
Date of Stay: 03/23/12 Review Submitted: 03/26/12

Great visit. We came up here to enjoy Helen and its surrounding attractions and stumbled onto this property. The nicest part for us was that Terry & Gary have the cabin with everything you could need without you having to bring it. For example, there was condiments in the fridge, plenty of towels, glasses, etc. You could serve a steak from the grill or hang out and have some drinks while all the time feeling like you're at home and you don't have to go to the store for every little thing, like you might if you stayed at a hotel. I personally enjoyed the high speed internet that is available. We brought our Roku box and watched our favorite TV shows and movies. Only real negative I can say is that the driveway has a huge incline but there is a single parking spot under an awning that is flat. I drive a sports car and there were times when I felt it bottom out turning around in the driveway and you have to work the clutch not to spin the tires when leaving the driveway. I'd definitely return...

Owner response:It's always our pleasure to provide our guests with all the necessities of home, including WIFI high speed internet. The driveway has a slight incline, but is large enough to park four vehicles and is usually no problem for the majority of guests.

I have stayed in a lot of condos and cabins in the past. This place is by far the nicest place I have stayed in to date. I had brought coffee and sugar for coffee in the mornings, but had for gotten my shampoo. Not to worry, I didn't need anything. It was all there just like a home away from home. It is so nice to be pleasently surprised and I was. The cabin is everything and more than the ad and pictures state. Terry and Gary could not have been any nicer or accomadating. I had some special cercumstances, that were beyond my control and they worked with me like two good friends. My deposit was returned to me within 3 days of my return home. Thanks Terry and Gary. I have your number and so will anybody else that I know looking to stay in Helen, Ga. Good luck and God bless.

Owner response:Thank you for the nice comment! We are always happy to hear that our guests enjoyed their stay. We provide all the necessary items of home so that guests don't have to go to the store if they're tired, or forgot something, after a long drive.

We stayed here for a weekend motorcycle trip. Great place for 2 couples! Plenty of room and bathroom space. We loved the wood burning fireplace on the cool autumn nights. We enjoyed watching the turkeys and loved the surprise visit at 3 AM by a mother bear and cub that decided to check out the gas grill on the deck. How exciting! We took the short walk to town, but there are a couple of hills. But that just means you don't have to feel guilty about eating a big dinner. The house is like new and I will stay there the next time I visit Helen.

All things stated in the preceding reviews are on the mark. The "cabin " is spacious, beautifully furnished and decor is great. The location is in the city limits but gives you the feeling of being the only ones for miles. Peaceful, quiet but only minutes to Main Street Helen, minutes to Cleveland and the Cabbage Patch doll hospital (don't have to be a kid to enjoy it), Ruby Falls and so many other things to see and do.. All you have to bring are your clothes, as as soon as you walk in you are at home. The pics on this website are exactly as it is. This is our 5th vacation in Helen, our 1st stay here and our best.. Hopefully we will do it again next time..

Helen vacation rental

Guest: ann h.
Date of Stay: 09/08/11 Review Submitted: 09/11/11

This house is the nicest place I have ever stayed in. Everything was so clean. The view from the sun room made you feel so relaxed. The owner provided so many things that other places did not provide. We had everything that we could possibly need to cook with. The kitchen was so organized you could find anything you needed. You could set on the patio and hear the creek. The couple that owned this beautiful place was so nice and made us feel at home. We toured Helen and couldn't wait to get back to our house we were staying in. That is how nice this place is!!!

Owner response:It's so exciting to hear such wonderful feedback! We're glad to know our guests have everything they need for a relaxing vacation.

We stayed from September 2-5th, 2011 and for the first time we finally found a vacation rental that the description on the internet was truthful. The property was very clean and very well maintained. Gary met us there and showed us around and gave us a lovely botte of wine. We really enjoyed our family vacation and I would recommend this property to everyone. You basically have to see it to believe it. Thank you Terry and Gary for opening your home and making it feel like a "home away from home." The Shaws, Hampton, Fl.

This was a great place to stay while visiting in Helen. The accommodations has all the comforts of home. There wasn't anything lacking. We have stayed in numerous condos and houses and this one has to be the cleanest we have ever rented. Gary had good recommendations for things to do and places to eat. We had a blast tubing and will be back for a repeat next year! Hope to stay with you again.

We really liked this house. Roomy, well laid out with a number of extra's & amenities. Extremely clean and well kept. Kids (9 & 13) loved the place, especially playing cards most nights before bed in the poker room. Owners are very nice and responsive. I can't imagine a better deal for the price. We stayed 6 nights and used it as a base to explore the nearby mountains, parks, and waterfalls. The location is secluded and quiet but a minute or two drive puts you at the waterpark. It is walking distance but the grade is steep coming back and it was easier just to drive. Property is as-advertised and we didn't see any other place in the area we would have rather stayed.

Owner response:It's always great to hear such positive comments! We are so happy to know that you enjoyed your stay.

Best Vacation Rental Ever!

Date of Stay: 05/07/11 Review Submitted: 05/18/11

My son and I just spent five nights in this beautiful Helen house (it's much larger than a cabin). The pictures do not do justice to the house even though they are accurate. All the modern amenities are provided - even soap for the washer and dryer sheets for the dryer. It was wonderful - the cleanest rental I've ever seen (absolutely spotless) - quiet, affordable, convenient, and the owners couldn't have been nicer! Our deposit was returned in full the same day we checked out. Honestly, I didn't know a vacation rental could be so good.

Owner response:We are always delighted to hear such great comments! And it is our pleasure to provide all the necessities of home. After all, who wants to go to the grocery store for essentials as soon as you arrive on vacation. Vacation is for fun times! That's why we enjoy providing guests with laundry detergent, fabric softner, shampoo, soap, paper towels, coffee, spices, hot chocolate, popcorn, tea, and more.

This is our third trip to North Georgia and the wine country. Also our third stay at this lovely house. The owners have lavished their house with all kinds of pleasing little luxuries. The house is located just up the hill from Helen itself, in a heavily wooded area, and it is quiet there, church quiet. We will in all likelihood return.

We decided to visit Helen, GA during the off season. We couldn't have picked a better place. The owners of this cabin has definitely put their love and hard work into it, and it shows. They even met us upon arrival, and gave us a bottle of sparkling cider! It's nestled in a quiet, secluded neighborhood with a creek in their backyard. The cabin was clean and spacious. We have already recommended it to other friends.

Beautiful, pristine, yet welcoming, this house and its setting was a very positive, relaxing experience. We got to enjoy all the in-town fun and food we could stand and then we got to return "home" to one of the prettiest places we have ever stayed. Believe me when I say it does not matter what kind of weather you have. This home cradled us through some good thunderstorms and rain and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Just sit back and enjoy all the windows, because all the windows have a view. And to top it off, the Allmons are two of the sweetest people we have met. We, too, are born & raised in Georgia, so we know Southern hospitality when we see it. Thanks so much for your kindness. Oh, and the birthday wine was fabulous.

Owner response:We appreciate the wonderful comment and are so glad that you enjoyed your visit to our cabin. When we hear such great feedback, it makes it all worth while to us!

What a wonderful experience we had this weekend at your beautiful rental house in Helen. This was a girls weekend and we can't say enough good things about it. Everything was provided for our enjoyment, including a bottle of wine! We enjoyed a couple of your movies, popcorn, sipping wine on the deck and the spaciousness of your house. You, as owners, know how to make your guests feel so welcome, and I want to bring my husband back for our anniversary in November. I enjoyed a quiet time early in the morning on your deck listening to the birds and the creek. It was awesome! We enjoyed meeting you and will definitely be back.

Outdoor decks afford beautiful scenes, creek near by, riverside walking trails near by, close to center of Helen, but secluded enough to be out of "hustle and bustle" when desired. Overall, one of the most positive vacationing accomodations ever used. Arrive with clothes and food, and all else is available to make it just like home away from home. The gift bottle of wine was excellent, and was enjoyed while leaf watching on the deck. Will return again.

My daughter and I love to take her 4 children and getaway each summer. We certainly hit the jackpot with this cabin in the woods. The photos did not do it justice. Everything was beautiful and clean. The whole place looked brand new with all the extras you could ever want or need, With 4 children, we were interested mostly in the water activities in Helen. We liked the river tubing so much, we did it twice. We also took a little drive to Cleveland and the Cabbage Patch Doll Museum. Don't miss the Goats on the Roof. All in all, we had a great time and would highly recommend this vacation home. Thank you to Gary and Terry.

Four days, three nights, of the best home away from, I can still feel me sitting in the sun room with my coffee in hand, my mind relaxed as I am looking out the big double windows at the great forest view. In every sq. foot of this home you can feel and see the love that Terry and Gray has put into home. Me, family, and friend one night of our stay we went to Betty's, bought steaks and fixings. Grilled steaks and vegs. had the wine that the owners ( I don't like calling them owners, they felt like friends) had there for us. Would I recommend this property to a friend? I have and so has my daughter. She lives in VA and I live in FL. This house was so clean and well maintained, (if it wasn't clean I would not have stayed). I guess you know by now I LOVED IT!!!

Four days, three nights, of the best home away from, I can still feel me sitting in the sun room with my coffee in hand, my mind relaxed as I am looking out the big double windows at the great forest view.

We stayed at the cabin for a long girlfriends' weekend getaway. It was a great choice: clean, comfortable, private but centrally located. Highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed your cabin! It is beautifully decorated and has everything you need for some time away from home. We selected it for a girl's getaway and had an awesome weekend! We spent our time reading, shopping, eating and enjoying the fire! We also has a fabulous facial at the spa. We came home very relaxed. Definitely plan to do it again!

My two friends and I were looking for a place to stay to have a quiet girls' weekend of scrapbooking and just rest and relaxation. Well, we found the perfect place!! This cabin in Helen is absolutely beautiful and immaculate and a great place for a couple of scrapbookers to get together. I give it two thumbs up!!! We will definately be back. Great communication with the owners. Couldn't have been a better weekend.

The pictures do not do this cabin justice. It is lovely and in a great location. It is quiet but close to town. The property is very well maintained and the interior immaculate. The owners were extremely easy to work with and so nice. They thought of everything we could possibly need and there were lots of little extras, that made the place great. They even had a bottle of wine waiting on us when we arrived. The beds were very comfortable and the linens good quality. Great forest view and wonderful sound of the river from the porch. iWe would highly recommend this cabin. Stay here and you won't be disappointed. We definitely plan to stay here again.

Owner response:Thank you for such a nice comment. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and do hope that you will return in the future. We're also glad that you liked your gift of wine, it was our pleasure. Our guests are always our number one concern - we want them to be happy that they chose our cabin as their vacation "home away from home".

We met old friends for a reunion weekend in Helen and the cabin's appointments and gracious hospitality really set the stage for a wonderful time. It's much more spacious than the photos indicate and with the sunroom, deck, porch, den, open kitchen and 2 well appointed bedrooms with full baths and the full bath downstairs, you'll feel like you're in a large space, but yet it's very cozy! Remember to try to count the bear figurines that are everywhere!!!
