About this property

★ Downtown Mountain View in Helen ★ Charming + Serene Views

Enjoy your stay at Hilltop Hideout of Helen, which is located directly above the famous Georgia Mountain Coaster inside of Helen, GA. This cozy chalet is the perfect destination spot for a family or friends looking for an Alpine Adventure in a Bavarian Themed Town in Appalachia OR if you are looking for a "flexcation," there is also an office space for working while still getting away! Appreciate the beautiful hilltop view on a large patio while indulging in nature and your favorite beverage. Take advantage of the multiple attractions, state parks, wineries, breweries, food, fishing, tubing, and family friendly activities. Don't forget to visit a few favorites: Unicoi State Park, Anna Ruby Falls, Dukes Creek Falls, Yonah Mountain, Cool River Tubing, Helen Waterpark, Alpine Mini Golf, Dukes Creek Mines, Woody's Mountain Bikes, Alpine Fun Factory, Hardman Farm State Historic Sight, Charlemagne's Kingdom, and more!

We own 5 chalets on the hill. The other 4 sleep 12. Message me if you would like to check availability on all 5. We have been a popular destination for family reunions and wedding parties.

Note, we named these Hilltop Hideout because they are located at the top of a hill. Walking to town is an option (my kids always choose it), but it is steep. Plan accordingly.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This was the perfect spot for a long Christmas weekend in Helen. We were a group of 5 adults and 2 babies. We appreciated the little extras for the children and the glider in the upstairs bedroom. Recommend bringing a baby gate for the stairs if you are traveling with littles as they are quite steep. The location was great- we made the less than 5 min drive into the town center as the house is up on quite a steep incline, and not walkable with strollers.

We had an absolutely wonderful time in Helen GA. The property was close to everything. We did walk down once from the unit to town but it was a little steep but not bad at all. Rest of our stay we drove down, had no issues finding parking which was only 10 for the entire day. I recommend this property 100%

About the host

Hosted by Karen

Host profile image
I am a lifelong Floridian. My husband grew up in South Carolina. We have 5 kids and love to travel.

Why they chose this property

We traveled to Helen and fell in love with it. We knew this would be a place we would want to return again and again. While on vacation, we found a builder who had just started his build. We knew we HAD to buy it and share it with you guys, while still having a place for a family to vacation.

What makes this property unique

This home is uniquely suited for those of you who don't want an older home and value the benefits of a new home, which is decorated and filled for peaceful enjoyment. It give you the benefit of escaping to nature while still being so close to town and all the attractions and restaurants. The best of both worlds.
