***** Unlike many vacation properties listed in "Helen" WE TRULY ARE IN THE CITY LIMITS AND JUST A SHORT 5 to 10 MINUTE WALK TO RESTAURANTS, SHOPS, DOWNTOWN, OKTOBERFEST HALL and just 2 short miles from UNICOI STATE PARK. *****
NOTE: 2 NIGHT MINIMUM STAY. Our rates are "ALL INCLUSIVE" - NO SURPRISES!!! Cleaning fee, surtax, etc. is INCLUDED in the rate. Only a one-time $50 pet fee is additional if you bring your WELL BEHAVED dog(s).(PLEASE NO CATS).
This ideal vacation spot is nestled in the woods and borders a state preserve for optimal privacy. The 1 acre property is located at the end of a cul-de-sac with only 2 other homes, none of which are visible. There is no traffic and safe for kid's and pet's to run and play.
Enjoy all the comforts of home and more ..... LARGE GAS FIREPLACE that is easy to operate; TV's for each bedroom and living room; HIGH-SPEED BROADBAND INTERNET SERVICE (free upon request); FULLY EQUIPPED KITCHEN; WASHER & DRYER and as an added bonus expect visits from the neighborhood black cat, blue heeler dog, hummingbirds and the other little critters that roam our property.
The best part of our secluded cabin is found in the back - YOU WOULD NEVER IMAGINE THAT YOU ARE LESS THAN 1/4 MILE FROM A BUSTLING LITTLE TOWN.
There are 3 DECKS ON VARIOUS LEVELS. The MAIN DECK is partially covered and has a dining table and 6 chairs. The LOWER DECK is large and has plenty of room to sprawl out and relax and finally the UPPER DECK has a comfortable glider love seat. From all the levels enjoy the privacy of THE WOODS THAT SURROUND YOU OR ENJOY THE BABBLING BROOK that runs right under the back porch.
One Bedroom has a queen size bed while the other,larger bedroom has one king and two twin size beds(bunk bed).
We may offer discounts for longer period stays - just give a call or email!
This is a very comfortable, up-to-date cabin. It was completely renovated with new interior, furniture, windows, roof, decking and so much more within the past few years.
HELEN is a perfect vacation spot and centrally located for all your day trips - BUT ONCE YOUR DONE FOR THE DAY WOULDN'T IT BE NICE JUST TO PARK THE CAR AND WALK TO DOWNTOWN, HAVE DINNER, ENJOY A LITTLE NIGHT LIFE, DO SOME SHOPPING AND JUST STROLL BACK HOME.
We have been coming up here for some 15 years and also started with renting cabins miles outside of town, not wanting to stay at a motel/hotel and loving the privacy BUT NOT APPRECIATING THE DRIVE HOME AFTER A FUN NIGHT IN HELEN.
Our cabin offers you the best of both: "PRIVACY, TRANQUILITY AND CONVENIENCE TO ALL HELEN HAS TO OFFER WITHIN 1500 FEET!"
LETTERS FROM RECENT GUESTS:
*** Thank you for letting us enjoy your beautiful cabin in Helen. We had a great time! Your place is absolutly wonderful. We had everything we needed. It's located in the perfect spot, secluded but still so close to town. Having such a nice place to stay added to the unforgetable time we had on our Spring vacation. Having the brook so close by added to the great experience. The sound is wonderful and very relaxing!
On our trip, Helen received lots of rain. It rained all day and night, Friday and Saturday! Even though there was lots of rain, we didn't let it dampen our spirits! We enjoyed many of the local attrations.
I really appreciate you letting us enjoy your cabin. I loved spending time with my children and grandson in the beautiful town of Helen. What a wonderful birthday!
We hope to visit Helen and your comfy cabin again someday!

*** Just wanted you to know that we had a wonderful time at your great cabin again. We are always amazed at the special touches your family has given the place and appreciate that you are able to share it.
Ava S.
*** We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor spaces, especially the upper deck and creek. It is a great place for both morning coffee and afternoon drinks. The location of your cabin is also very convenient. We were able to walk to town and to walk to the restaurants. This was a great help when the traffic became congested on Saturday.
Lynn S.
*** We had a fabulous time at your cabin. The accommodations were better than I expected and the stackable washer and dryer work wonderfully. You have a very nice place. Actually, I would like to return for a long weekend with friends if that's possible.
The tubing was my favorite. I went everyday except one and went 3 times on Saturday. It's addictive and I had a blast.
Dolores R.
*** I just wanted to tell you that we enjoyed your family's cabin in the woods very much. We had a rainy weekend, but your cabin was nice and cozy for the 6 of us to play board games and spend time together. Thanks again for a wonderful stay. It trully is a magical place in the woods.
Kimberly S.
*** Jeanne and I would again like to thank you for the use of your cabin in Helen. We all had a wonderful week. Dolly adapted well but she almost always does anywhere we go. The cabin was cozy and much more than adequate. There was so much foliage that we thought it was bedtime at 5pm. I must have walked to town no less than 15 times. The beer and the food was good! Juat a great time!!!!
Robby T.
*** As you know, we extended our stay in Helen, GA because we enjoyed it so much. Easy communication with you was very helpful.
The cabin is very comfortable and is furnished with all conveniences, well thought out use of space and exceeded our expectations. The proximity to the town of Helen and Unicoi State Park is as described and is an excellent feature. We took many walks with the dogs, hiked on the trails several times and took a self guided pottery tour among other things. By the way, the food at the Unicoi State Park Lodge is great and gave us a chance to meet some locals.
Hope to have the opportunity to stay in your cabin again.
Valerie and Paul M.

We rented for the weekend and this place was perfect. This cabin has everything you need - no need to bring anything to cook with or eat on. Fully stocked. The outdoor space was wonderful also with heaters on the deck. The master bedroom with the bunk beds was perfect for my family. We felt like we were in a home away from home. Thank you for allowing us to rent your home. Julie
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, girls getaway, families with young children.

I do not give excellent ratings unless everything is dead on expectations as set by the property description. The owner is completely honest and dead-on in his listing description. Apart from typical spider web building, there was no evidence of any pest infestation. His photo's are true and accurate not hiding something out of sight, like a major chicken ranch operation. James responded very quickly to our questions via e-mail. I would recommend staying here to anybody I know. For supplies: Betty's Country Store has a lot more groceries and malted beverages than the first impression suggest. You can obtain your authentic Southern "Grits" at the Nacoochee Mill. There are several package stores about. I suggest visiting the following: Old Bavarian Inn pub / restaurant, (get a Hornsby Hard Apple Cider and pretzel from Sara. She also stocks over 105 different beers from around the world) Brookstown Fudge, Penny Lane, Cafe La Piazza (reservation required), The Troll Restaurant, Hofers Bakery for breakfast, (only 10 minute walk) and for karaoke and giggles, The Hofbrauhaus Bar after 9:00 p.m. Several restaurants close between 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. The North Georgia Bar-Be-Que being one that closes at 7:00. The pubs stay open late but stop serving any food early on. Do not worry about this listing not being accurate or deceptive. It is all as the owner says it is. Next trip anywhere in N.E. Georgia, we will try to re-book this cabin. Enjoy!! Bryant & Yvonne
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, pet owners, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.
