It was a very quiet inn nestled on a hill surrounded by peaceful woods. The only thing that could have been better was the rain but I can not blame the hosts for that! Love the atmosphere of the cabin and happy we had an outside grill and fire pit.

About the host
Hosted by MAUREEN PARENTE
Hello, my name is Maureen and I will be your hostess. My husband Bill and I visited Helen, Georgia a couple of years ago and we absolutely fell in love with it. After a couple of years of looking for property or a vacation home, we were blessed enough to recently find this beautiful little cabin located in Innsbruck and we couldn't pass it up. We recently renovated it and it's so darling that we have decided to share it with our guests.
Communication is very important to us, so please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or feed back. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us better and for choosing Hidden Gem Cabin. Enjoy your stay!
Why they chose this property
We chose Innsbruck, because it is a quiet gated community with beautiful blue ridge mountain views, where you are surrounded by nature everywhere you go and we literally have a golf course in our own backyard.
What makes this property unique
Our property is small but cozy, and it looks like a tree house nestled in the woods. The back of our property is located behind the 10th hole. It is located on a quiet cul-de-sac which is nice if you have children who want to play outside or want to walk your pets without a lot of street traffic.
