About this property

Desirable Cabin in Helen City Limits - Only a Three-Minute Drive to Downtown!

Alemaigne Haus Cabin is a family built home and is located within the city limits of Helen on 1 and 1/2 acres only a couple of blocks from the Helen Water Park, and the Valhalla Golf Resort. The new Helen to Hardman Hiking Trail is just around the corner. The cabin is only a three-minute drive to downtown Helen, or a 15-minute walk.

You'll love sitting on one of the two covered porches while listening to the sounds of a small creek in the woods behind the cabin. You might see wild turkeys walking through the yard, and on occasion several deer.

The Alemaigne Haus features two large bedrooms upstairs with a king size bed in the master and a queen size bed in the second bedroom, Both bedrooms have a 26" TV for your enjoyment. There's a private full bath in each bedroom. The living room has a 55" LCD flat screen TV and also free WI-FI service is provided. Enjoy a romantic electric fireplace, a reclining sofa, and beautiful bamboo hardwood floors. You'll also enjoy the sunroom with large picturesque windows with a beautiful view of the forest out back. The sunroom and all bathrooms have ceramic tile floors. There's also a sitting room with a 32" flat screen LED TV with a PlayStation 2 for the kids to enjoy.

Have your morning cup of coffee at the breakfast island in the beautiful fully equipped kitchen. There's also a large full bath with a double vanity and a separate laundry room on the main level. We provide laundry detergent and fabric softner sheets.

If you want the feeling of seclusion, but want to be close to all of Helen's activities, then this is the place for you.

An outside camera is in place on the front and side porches facing the driveway for your protection and ours.

The cabin is less than a mile from downtown Helen, and has paved road access. Some of our guests like walking to town, which takes approximately 15 or 20 minutes, or if you prefer to drive, it takes only three minutes and there's an all-day parking lot in town.

Stay at our cabin and you'll be glad you did. We hope that you will come again and again!

Privately Owned: This cabin is privately owned, and as owners, we also manage it ourselves unlike others that are managed by a management company. As owners, we want every guest to be as comfortable as possible and to enjoy their stay.

We also provide maps, a travel guide, flyers of local attractions, and local restaurant menus for your convenience. We are never too far away if needed. Unlike property management companies, we take pride in our cabin, provide personal touches, and we want our guests to enjoy it as much as we do.

A signed Rental Agreement must be received within 24 hours of booking or access will not be granted on arrival day. We have a maximum stay limit of 14 nights. We will text or email you the door access code on the day of arrival.

It's great in knowing how much you enjoyed our cabin with three bathrooms, spacious, and a well equipped kitchen. We are also glad you found it to be comfortable. Being that our cabin is in the mountains of Helen, there are a few hills, but nothing steep, and a two-wheel vehicle is all that is needed to get around. We hope you will return in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Terry & Gary Allmon

Host profile image
My husband and I both grew up in Georgia. For many years, we visited Helen for relaxation and fun. In 2004, we decided to purchase property within the city limits to build our vacation home. In 2006 we, along with family members, built the Alemaigne Haus Cabin and later decided to share our home with others to enjoy as well. Twelve years ago, we decided to move to the area so that we could be near our rentals and assist our guests as needed.

Why they chose this property

We have always loved the city of Helen because we really like the touch of Bavaria in this re-created alpine village with cobblestone alleys and old-world towers which is full of activities throughout the year. Our cabin is less than a mile to downtown Helen which makes for easy access for our guests.

What makes this property unique

We love sitting on the deck as we listen to the sounds of the creek in the back yard. And, the view from the Sunroom is absolutely beautiful! The cabin is located in the city limits and is within walking distance to town, yet you have the feeling of total seclusion. For those who enjoy the water park, our cabin is only a couple of blocks away.
