A Gem of a place

What a beautiful cuter than cute cabin hidden in the woods. Very secluded cabin, but still close to restaurants, parks, waterfalls, and beautiful scenery. The communication with the owner is excellent and that’s a big plus.

Private and cozy

The cabin is very private and peaceful. It is conveniently located to downtown Helen. The king size bed is super comfortable and cozy. The loft has sky windows which was wonderful during the storms we had while visiting. Communication with the owner was good. We recommend the cabin if you prefer privacy.

Perfect (private) getaway

We chose this place because we wanted to be close to Helen, but also be able to escape the crowds and hopefully not have neighbors to share our downtime with. This was it!!! 100% secluded private cabin way up a beautiful wooded winding driveway, yet minutes away from the fun of Helen, Anna Ruby Falls and the beautiful scenic by-ways we wanted to see. Also had a quick couple set up questions here and there for the owner who was readily available within minutes. 100% will be back.

Perfect little private cabin

We stayed for a long weekend for our wedding anniversary. Literally 2 mins to town. It was the perfect cabin for us and our dogs. You defiantly need a 4x4 truck or suv. We will definitely be staying here again.

Great experience!

The cabin was awesome and has everything needed for comfortability. The property the cabin sits on is gorgeous and riddled with walking trails to explore. The owner was very friendly, helpful and responsive. The location of the cabin is within minutes of downtown Helen which was a huge plus. Overall we had a really wonderful time and would absolutely book here again in the future! 10 out 10 recommend!

Great Secluded Place

The cabin is just as described. Very clean and has every basic you would need. You're definitely secluded if thats what you're looking for. The drive up can get a little hairy but our Highlander made it with no issues. We had a great time at the cabin and in Helen.

Mystic Mountain Hideaway

Overall Experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely wonderful time during our stay at this secluded mountain cabin. The combination of rustic charm and modern amenities created the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing getaway. Accommodation and Amenities: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The cabin was impeccably clean and thoughtfully organized. The ample supply of towels was appreciated, and the well-stocked kitchen made it easy to prepare meals. The king-sized bed on the landing was not only comfortable but also added a touch of luxury to our stay. Communication and Connectivity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The lack of cell service was a blessing in disguise, allowing us to fully disconnect from the outside world. For those who may need to make calls, the availability of a landline was a thoughtful touch. Location and Nearby Attractions: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The cabin's is just a quick drive to the captivating Bavarian town of Helen. The quick drive to town made it easy to explore and enjoy the local culture. Tubing the Chattahoochee River was an absolute highlight and a must-do activity for anyone visiting. Final Thoughts: This secluded mountain cabin offers a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Its charming ambiance, complemented by modern conveniences, provides a perfect setting for relaxation and quality time. We highly recommend this cabin to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat in the mountains.

Mystic Mountain

We enjoyed our vacation in Helen, and the location being so close to town was awesome, but the cabin had some less than desirable things about it. When we got there, we tried to connect to the Wi-Fi because we didn't have any phone service, but the Wi-Fi was down and we never had any our entire stay. The TV upstairs also wasn't working, but the nice maintenance man came and got it going on our 2nd day there. It seemed like the cleaning person just kind of skimmed the surface when cleaning, as there were quite a few large and small dead bugs laying around in the corners, etc, and there were quite a few tiny live black bugs in the cabinets and in the dishes, etc. The owner was very responsive to our messages, and did what he could to try to get the Wi-Fi going, but the company could not come out until several days after we were gone. Some of our problems like the Internet could not be helped, but there are other things like the house keeping that should definitely be stepped up several notches!

This cute little cabin was perfect for our trip. The location to downtown Helen is only a 3 minute drive. It is so private and quite. We came up to Helen for our 25 year anniversary trip and this was exactly what we needed. The bed was comfortable, there were plenty of amenities in the cabin. Cooking supplies, a full fridge/freezer and plenty of cups and plates etc. Outside the cabin was our favorite. We used the hot tub every day and the rope lighting around the deck was so nice. The fire pit was great and so peaceful. Our host was very attentive when we had a little trouble with the Wi-Fi. He answered our calls and texts with in minutes. The driveway is steep so an all wheel drive is recommended but we had no problem navigating the mountain drive. If you are ever planning a trip to Helen, I would definitely recommend this unique cabin location.

This was a very nice and fun getaway with my partner we had a great time! Only issue was the hill that we had to drive up it was very steep though we were warned prior about it it was intense! Other than that the cabin is cozy and romantic, the entire place felt clean and safe. And Tom was very communicative and prompt with his responses.

Cabin was ok , driveway is the worse i have ever seen. Almost didnt make it up but finally did. Called the owner and he sent someone to drive us down right away. So we got a hotel in town and came home the next day.So make sure you can get up the rough driveway that is washed away with ruts in it. You might even want to come in a pickup.My friends were very discouraged that we had to come on back home bc we spent our money on the cabin that we didnt get a chance to enjoy.. money wasted bc they dont give a refund not even a partial refund. Will not be booking that again. Very very upset..... T.W. Alabama

Perfect family down time

Rustic cabin charm, and all the comforts to relax. If you need a time out, and want to experience cabin time this is the place for you. You can explore the quaint town of Helen in a 5 min drive, and try a tubing experience, hike to a waterfall, or ride a mountain coaster. This was a great stay and memories made. Host was amazing and accommodating! Thank You!!
