The cabin was nice and clean. The bed was so comfortable. I love that there’s a fire pit with corn hole. Penny was very nice and responded quickly. We will be back!

Very clean and close to Helen. Nice & quiet and even with cabins close together, the bushes/trees in front of each one made it feel private. We didn’t use the area behind the cabin but the pavilions were nice, had grills and we even saw charcoal, lighter fluid, and a metal box with the bean bags for the corn hole boards, along with some other toys.

Short stay

We came to Helen as a two day stop over before heading to Florida. What an adorable place! It was absolutely perfect for what we needed. We prefer to get a cabin or house vs a hotel because we travel with our dog. This was the perfect stay. The host was so great and communication was extremely easy. We spent most of our time exploring the area but when we were at the cabin we enjoyed an amazing fire and comfy bed. 10 out of 10. Great place for a romantic get away with your loved one.

Cozy little cabin

This was a great little cabin! It was just as it was listed. Penny was very prompt and responsive with a couple minor issues that were easily fixed. We enjoyed our lil mini family getaway and will definitely be back for another trip!

Anniversary Getaway

The wife and I wanted to just get away and run up to the mountains for our 21st wedding anniversary. We love Helen and these amazing little cabins are so close and convenient. They have seven cabins in total and the place feels like a campground. What really sold us on the listing was the hot tub, and we weren't disappointed. Amazing place, can't speak highly enough of the place.

Getaway Cottage

Small private place to stay away from the busy town of Helen. The place was just a short drive away from all the craziness of the town but still close and easily accessible. Good fly fishing and hiking places are close and on the “right” side of the town so you won’t need to drive through the slow traffic in town. Jacuzzi was a perfect addition and gave us a chance to relax after long day exploring the town. Cottage was clean, owner provided towels and all necessary supplies to cook meals in the kitchen. Very cozy and excellent place to make your base camp for exploring the area! Definitely recommend!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay in this cute and cozy cabin. We didn’t use any of the amenities like the grill/picnic area or hot tub but everything looked nice and well kept. And we didn’t cook or use the fully stocked kitchenette area (except coffee in the morning) because too many fun restaurants in Helen! Great communication with hosts.

Tiny but comfortable. The bed was super comfy but the loft was incredibly hard to access. My 7 year old couldn’t climb the ladder without help. Also the kitchenette does not have a stove. It has a plug in 2 burner. No dishwasher, but there is a coffee pot. Bathroom was tiny but shower pressure was amazing.
