Black mildew on inside of shower curtain. Black wet mold around floor and molding of tub. Chipped / flaking paint in bathroom around vanity. Unit is not within walking distance of town activities. Very long very steep grade hill. One lane drive to multiple units. Treacherous if meet another vehicle. Parking requires negotiation. Replies from host seem AI generated. No reimbursement or discounts offered when pictures were submitted of mold and chipping/ flaking bathroom paint. Unit is NOT secluded. No privacy. Surrounded closely by multiple units. Construction taking place at closest unit. Lots of noise.

Property was clean and the area was prefect for us although it was difficult to enter a 10 digit code to open the door. I probably would avoid in the future because it took 3 attempts to open the door every time and the dogs were not happy waiting.

Great Octoberfest stay!

Great little place to stay. Close enough to enjoy the town but far enough away to hear nothing but the squirrels playing in the trees.

Good place to stay but the sofa bed is not something adults will want to sleep on. (very uncomfortable) The picture makes it look secluded and its not when it comes to parking.

Great Cabin- Close to Town!

This cabin was perfect for a family of three with dogs. We were close enough to town to walk, if needed, but also enjoyed the privacy of the cabin. The hot tub was great after a chilly tubing adventure!

Incredible location get the coolness of the mountains along with the privacy having your morning coffee on the deck. Less than 3 Minutes from the adorable town of Helen.

Birthday getaway

Booked this for my friends birthday. It was the perfect location and had plenty of room for all of us. The decks were perfect and the hot tub was the perfect way to end the day. Would definitely stay here again. Also love that we could bring the dogs.

Fun close to town getaway

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cabin is very close to town! Easy drive! Only unexpected thing was other cabins so close by. It didn’t bother us at all, but we were under the impression from the pictures that we were a little more secluded. Very cute cozy cabin!!

Cute getaway for a couple. Close to town but secluded enough even with 3 other cabins close. Ants were an issue but other than that it was perfect.

perfect and in town!

The Happy Camper was perfect! close to everything and in town! The place was clean and very organized, I Would suggest having an extra set of sheets for the pull-out sofa other than that everything perfect for us, the kids had so much fun in the Hot Tub and even our dog Tahoe enjoyed the outdoors! Thank you for having us!

Great memories

We had the best time visiting Helen GA and staying here! The cabin is perfectly cozy with everything we needed. Everything was nice and clean. It’s so peaceful to be so close to town. Our only complaint is the way too long door entry code.

Romantic Pre Valentine’s Weekend

Happy Camper was the perfect dog friendly spot for our weekend getaway. The cabin was the perfect size and was accurately listed. The location is fantastic, and we even got to see a family of deer. The only negative was the hot tub wasn’t hot. But other than that, we would gladly stay again.
