Why the Owner Chose Helen
I've traveled all over the US and this is where I decided to stay,I didn't even know Georgia HAD mountains till I came out here for a visit!! I love it here, the people here are wonderful, helpful and friendly. The country is beyond belief, with waterfalls, natural settings and wildlife, you will not find a better place. I love having, deer, turkey, hawks, eagles, beaver, river otter etc.. in my back yard...it's never a dull moment.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
We've lived in this area on the river for over 17 years. My kids grew up swimming, kayaking,and jumping off the rope swing in our back yard. Can't beat it!!
There is so much to do it here, hiking, kayaking, tubing, shopping etc..etc.. can't think of living anywhere else.
We loved it so much we decided to share it with others.
As you can see it is a very private area, with little or no homes close by
This area is a favorite with kids and families. Has a slide and 2nd rope swing. Also has a sandy beach for kids and get set of shouls the kids love to play on.

Nana's Cottage was awesome! It has such a "homey" atmosphere. We loved just sitting in the rocking chairs and relaxing on the screened in porch, listening to the sounds of nature. Nothing could be more relaxing or romantic than the hot tub with the view of the river. Nancy thought of everthing you could possibly need, towels, hair dryer, candles, etc. We loved the feather beds. I could go on and on. Everything was so clean, it was perfect. I highly recommend staying at Nana's.

My husband and I found Nana's Cottage to be very charming, homey and clean. We loved the fact that our little schnauzer, Izzy, was welcomed also. We enjoyed the cool weather and was able to build a fire at night and during the day we hiked around the property and enjoyed the beautiful colors of fall and also saw plenty of deer and turkeys. A very peaceful and relaxing weekend. I would highly recommend this property to anyone seeking to get away.

Several of us chose Nana's for our Fall Break Weekend. The property is exactly as advertised. Everything is clean, neat, and convenient. The kitchen is well-stocked, and the appliances are up-to-date. The beds with their feather mattress pads provide the best sleep I've had in a really long time! The cottage is secluded and lends to peaceful moments by the firepit, or sitting by the river, or reading on the screened porch. The hot tub works wonders on stressed out muscles and brains! The cottage is also convenient to Helen and Cleveland. The owners were pleasant and professional and love the area. We will definitely return and would highly recommend this property.

My family decided to do something new this year. We live in Charlotte NC and we decided to go to Nana's Cottage because it had everything we were looking for. Our girls, who are 11 and 12, were able to kayak, rope swing, swim, tube, fish and rock hunt. We all had a blast. And one of my daughters is very girly and loved it. My husband and I did all the activities as well. Nana's cottage is very private, quiet and peaceful and very CLEAN. It was great to be on the river for the day and come back to a wonderful clean hot tub to soak in. Nancy and Robert were extremely nice and helpful and offered excellent service to us. There were plenty of linens, so don't bring any! Having the washer and dryer on site helped tremendously. I normally don't complete reviews, but was so impressed with this rental I felt Nana's deserved it. I do highly recommend this rental. I have no interest in going back to the beach and plan on going back to Nana's next summer. It was truly the best family vacation ever. I have to say that all four of us jumping off the rope swing was the most exciting fun adventure that pumped our hearts to the fullest. We were all so proud that we had the nerve to do it. And so glad afterwards we were still alive. It is a must do!!! It was a great family bond building moment! You can't go wrong at Nana's! It is an escape from the hectic city life.
Owner response:Kimberly, Thank you for the wonderful review.. we have lived up here for over 16 years and still love the river and our area..we never tire of it. Look forward to seeing you again next summer, Nancy and Rob

We were looking for a cabin on the river and that is exactly what we got. The kids loved the hot tub and sleeping up stairs. We loved the convenience of being able to use their tubes and tube down the river from our cabin to the Owners house where we played in the water. Loved sitting on the screened-in porch and drink coffee in the mornings watching the river. The kids had a great time fishing in front of the owners property and one of the kids actually caught a fish. The owners were very accomodating and wanted to make sure we had a great experience. All the information about the area as to grocery stores, closest town were all provided which helped so much. Will definitely return and highly recommend to others.

We do an annual Mother/Daughter trip and have stayed as several VRBO rentals. This home was the BEST yet!!! We are already talking about a return visit next year and several of my sisters want to rent for vacations with their families. The home was well layed out with plenty of room for privacy as well as room for building family memories. The back porch with it's hot tub,rockers and dining table was our favorite spot for relaxing and catching up with each others lives. The hot tub at night with all the "night life sounds" was awesome. The beds were sooo comfy and the kitchen well stocked. We brought our own crock pot so we could have lunch ready after playing in the river. The sisters (all in their 50's) tubed the 4 hr run and that is an experience that will never be forgotten. All survived except for a lost pair of sunglasses. LOL Close enough to Helen to do all the touristy stuff. Would recommend to anyone looking for a mountain get away. Looking forward to visiting again soon. Mary

My family had a wonderful stay at Nana's Cottage in July of 2011! The cabin was fantastic and was situated on a beautiful site right on the river. The screened porch faces the river and was wonderful to have coffee on in the morning. We hope to be able to return to Nana's in the future!

Nana's cottage was amazing!! It is secluded and right on the river with wonderful views!!. Nancy provided everything and I mean everything our family needed. She and her husband were so welcoming and being just down the road were available at just a phone call. It was the cleanest and most beautiful place I have ever stayed. The pics don't do it justice. The fishing just steps away from the porch was fun for the guys. The tubing was so private and secluded (no crowds or other people at all). Kayaking was an adventure. The property was great for hiking (we saw lots of wildlife). There are a few private sitting areas outside with a hammock on the river. It was oh so relaxing and quiet! We also took a day to visit Helen and hiked to Anna Ruby falls and Dukes Creek falls which were unbelievable. There is an outlet mall about 40 min away for the ladies! I would highly recommend this cottage for anyone! Oh yeah, the beds were sooooo comfortable. We miss that already!

Nana's cottage is a true gem. The decor is very inviting and clever! The property is stunning, with a nice amount of solitude. A favorite spot was in the jacuzzi in the evenings listing to the "hooch" flow below. I must say, i think the dog had the most fun running a-muck smelling all there was to smell! We enjoyed the fishing as well - and have the picture of the slob of trout caught on a fly rod right behind Nana's to prove it! A great spot with very hospitable hosts! We have alreadt recomended Nana's to all of our friends and are planning our return in the warmer months to try out the rope swings!

There are so many complimentary reviews of Nana's Cottage...there is hardly anything to add. It was everything we had hoped for and more. Nancy and Robert are excellent hosts, friendly and helpful...they have the knack of balancing "being there" with allowing one full privacy. The cottage boasts a "good housekeeping seal of approval" and is absolutely well maintained. It gives one the enjoyment of solitude in the gorgeous Geogia mountains, yet not too far removed from the necessities of life...no "death stairs" to the river. We were 2 retirees, joined by our daughter, her husband and two children (8 & 10)...plenty of room for all. We also enjoyed Helen and felt quite smug, while watching the tubing there, that we had our own private tube run, complete with tubes for our use. Not to mention the kayaks...the kids found a new outdoor adventure, after a little instruction from Grandpa and Dad. Since the river was a little chilly and the weather was rainy occasionally, the hot tub was sensatinal. Can only imagine how wonderful the cottge would be in the winter months...so cozy. We surely hope that we can experience that sometime soon. All in all, beautiful scenery, charming cottage, gentle adventure, time with family...priceless!!
