Buckhorn Cabin Retreat

Summary:

Dog-friendly, two story cabin in woods w/ screened-in deck, hot tub, pool table



The Space:

With beautiful mountain views, a well-appointed screened-in deck, private hot tub, and outdoor firepit, this dog-friendly cabin offers the perfect escape nestled in the forests of the Appalachian Mountains.



This home is on the edge of the Chattahoochee National Forest, putting you right by great hiking, water sports, and more. The nearby Bavarian alpine village of Helen offers nearby amenities, restaurants, and shopping as well.



This inviting two-story, Sautee Nacoochee home features beautiful rock details and wood accents, creating a rustic and welcoming vibe. The comfortable living room has leather furniture, a wood-burning fireplace, and amazing floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the forest.



Next to the living area, there’s a dining space with seating for six where you can enjoy lovely group meals. In the fully equipped kitchen, you’ll have stainless steel appliances and a convenient dishwasher for easy cleanup.



Head outside for even more luxury - on the screened-in porch, there’s a gas grill and another table set for alfresco dining. Take a relaxing soak in the private hot tub, complete with LED non-heating fireplace to set the tone. For s’mores and campfire fun, there’s also a firepit in the front yard.



With two stylish master suites and two full bathrooms, this home will sleep up to six guests, plus a family dog for a small nightly pet fee. Each master suite has a king-size bed with a rustic log bed frame and an updated bath. There’s also a futon for additional sleeping options.



On the second story, a lofted space features a pool table that overlooks the living room, where you can enjoy a nice game of billiards inside. In the living room, sit back in front of the large flatscreen TV with DVD player or hop on the complimentary WiFi.



When you’re ready to explore the area, the beautiful Unicoi Lake and State Park is just two miles away for fishing, hiking, bird watching, and boating. You’ll also be on the edge of the Chattahoochee National Forest for lots of hiking, rafting, tubing or even ziplining through the trees. For amenities, nearby downtown Helen offers delicious Bavarian-inspired cuisine and more.



Enjoy a luxurious forest escape at this beautiful cabin - book your trip today!

This cabin is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. The forest view is immaculate and the hot tub is a great way to enjoy this luxury. The cabin has a gas grill which is very simple to use. The home was clean and very welcoming. The location is in the perfect spot— sitting in the middle of everything you will want to check out during your stay. The drive to the cabin is steep— so keep this in mind per your vehicle. Beautiful wildlife, bugs, and greenery surrounding the area. The host is responsive and very helpful. Overall, I would highly recommend this location to anyone trying to visit the area. We will absolutely be using this host again— possibly at a new location!

The cabin was great. Very private and relaxing. We really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, we left some bathing suits behind that could not be recovered or returned. Other than that minor hiccup we really enjoyed our stay.

We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the privacy and relaxing atmosphere, it’s exactly what we hope every guest experiences. We're truly sorry to learn that some bathing suits were left behind and that we were unable to recover or return them.
