Beautiful home … amazing view, very clean. All beds were comfortable, black out shades and extra blankets in bedrooms. Not your typical “rental” you can tell owners visit frequently as it’s very well maintained. Everything we needed was there - well stocked kitchen. We will be back!

6 adults thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mount Yonah Castle. The view was spectacular from the main living area and the outside balcony. The house had everything you could possibly need or want plus more. Each bedroom had a king size bed and a private bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked with every appliance, dish, utensils, pots and pans as well as wine glasses and plastic glasses for the hot tub. We were able to enjoy the hot tub one night with the cool weather and the stars above. We were unable to use the fire pit due to red flag warnings however the inside gas fireplace certainly made up for it. The home is centrally located near the Bavarian town of Helen and is near many of the areas waterfalls and wineries. We will definitely book again when in the area.

Family Vacation

This property is beautiful and fit our needs perfectly. Each bedroom having its own bathroom is great and the 1/2 bath by the front door was also a great feature. The location is in clise proximity to many trails and close to town so going out to eat or going to the grocery store was easy. Our host David was also very attentive with out being intrusive.

The house is beautiful! Coffee in the mornings looking at a breath-taking view. The only problem is the road to get to the house is awful, thank goodness we were not in a car. I guess from the storm Helen it is very rutted, I was a guess last year and it was not near this bad. Over all I would give it a 9 out of 10

We had a very enjoyable time at Mount Yonah Castle! On our yearly Ladies' Cabin Trip, our plan is to get away from every day life & relax... and relax we did. The layout of the cabin is wonderful. We loved how every room had its own attached bathroom, with an extra half bath on the first floor. The king sized beds were comfortable. The home is equipped with everything you need. The view was beautiful. Even though we didn't use the amenities (hot tub, fire pit, grill, etc.), it was nice to have them available to us. Our host, David, was great! He was very responsive when we called him.The only downsides were the water issue & the cleanliness. We spoke to David about a few of the issues but not all of them. Overall, we give it a 4/5.

Wonderful Fall Vacay!

BEAUTUFUL property and home! It was everything we needed it to be! Beautiful, comfortable, relaxing and spacious enough for 3 couples to have their own bedroom & bath, as well as a spacious family room with plenty of seating for watching tv. The kitchen was very well-equipped, and the fire pit and hot tub was close enough to feel connected even if not out there when others were using it. The views every morning, noon and night were priceless for us! Just absolutely gorgeous! Very close to get to Helen and other locations to explore! Excellent communication with host! Definitely plan to be a returning guest in the future!

About the host

Hosted by David Rankin

Host profile image
My wife and I both grew up in Oklahoma and met at Oklahoma State University. We have retired here in central Georgia and really enjoy the calmer weather conditions and southern hospitality. We are both very active in our church, I play too much golf, and Laura does too much volunteering:) We enjoy traveling, wine, and spending quality time with friends and family.

Why they chose this property

We both grew up in Oklahoma, and while we really enjoyed our time there, there were no mountains, maybe some occasional hills:) We fell in love with this part of Georgia, and the mountain views from this home are absolutely spectacular. This is our second home and we love spending time here when the house is not rented. So, we want this home to have all the comforts and amenities that we are accustomed to....and my wife has wonderful taste!! So, please enjoy The Mount Yonah Castle.
