You will not want to leave!!

If you are looking for serenity, beauty, fresh air, and an absolutely breathtaking porch to rock or swing hours away, this is the place. Beautifully decorated inside - so cozy - with many amenities that make you feel welcomed. When you do decide to head out to enjoy the community, there are so many enjoyable activities to take part in within a short distance, and then come back and enjoy a relaxing campfire with good conversation and a bottle of wine from one of the local vineyards.

Such a cozy, beautiful area!

This is my family’s second stay in this cabin and I have to say, you won’t find a better place to relax. The cabin has everything you could want or need. The views and hikes are spectacular. There are so many great accommodations from a welcoming cabin, to a hot tub, super cozy just all around. I will definitely be back. The cabin is very clean and very nicely put together, it has that very homey touch. Thank you so much!

Amazing family getaway!

We had the best time at this cabin for a nice family getaway. The house was clean along with some personal touches and amenities. The kids had a blast making s’mores at the firepit and we loved the nice walking areas for the dogs. 5 stars for all things here at Freedom Finder! The location to town was also super convenient especially with young kids. We highly recommend!

Great Place for a Long Weekend

My husband and I choose this property for a long weekend getaway with our dogs. We were beyond impressed with everything about our stay, from the spotlessly clean accommodation, to the above and beyond communication from our host, to the picturesque grounds, and the thoughtful touches like a welcome basket and all the amenities we could possibly need (even things you don’t typically find at VRBO properties like toiletries, coffee, books, games, etc.). It’s also super convenient to local attractions like state parks, wineries, and some wonderful restaurants in Helen. This was honestly the most thoughtfully appointed rental property we’ve ever booked and we will definitely book it again the next time we find ourselves visiting Helen.

Fabulous Property and Location

This property was perfect for our family of four hosting elder parents (grandparents). It had all the nice touches. The fire pits were fabulous and well stocked with wood. The outdoor spaces provided lots of extra room. The porch was cleaned which was thoughtful for those wanting to sit outside. The beds were excellent. Great communication with owner.

About the host

Hosted by Lynette Guy

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Lynette!

I’m an outdoor enthusiast who loves hiking, kayaking, and cooking, and my passion for nature inspired me to invest in my first cabin in beautiful north Georgia back in 2018. I currently live in Atlanta but spend as much time as possible in the area, soaking in the mountain air and discovering hidden trails.

I know how important it is to feel at home while traveling, which is why I’ve thoughtfully curated my vacation rentals to offer the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and special touches that make every stay memorable. My goal is to provide a space where families, friends, and groups can connect, unwind, and create lasting memories.

I’m always happy to share tips on local activities, dining, and must-see spots, so don’t hesitate to ask! I look forward to hosting you at one of my properties and helping you experience the best of north Georgia.

Why they chose this property

I love the north Georgia mountains, waterfalls, and hiking trails in the area. It was my love for this area, combined with a love for hospitality that prompted me to purchase a cabin in the area. When I saw this particular cabin, I fell in love with it. Since purchasing it, I've enjoyed doing some updates and making it a truly unique place.
