About this property

Settin' on the Creek - Let Your Cares Drift Away

This cabin is cozy on the inside and out! Once you arrive, you will be drawn to the sound of the babbling creek in the back yard. Sit in the gazebo and let your cares drift away. There is also a bench swing and an outdoor fire pit with seating all around. Relax in the hot tub after a day exploring the beautiful Helen area. This cabin is pet-friendly, so don't leave home without the doggie!

Enter the cabin through the front door and feel right at home in the large living room and open dining room. Sit back on the brand new leather furniture and watch your favorite show or sport on the smart TV through the free YouTube TV subscription. During the cooler months, start a fire in the wood burning fireplace to set the perfect atmosphere in your cabin getaway.

The kitchen features a small breakfast counter, stove/oven, microwave and full size refrigerator. There's both a standard drip coffee maker and a Keurig for your convenience. Bring your coffee and condiments for a cup of joe just the way you like it. The washer and dryer are located in the laundry room just next to the dining area.

There is a king bedroom with private bath on each side of the living room. The bedrooms have a smart TV, too! Each bathroom has tub/shower combinations and a single vanity.

Out the kitchen door is a reading porch with rocking chairs and view of the woods. Beyond this little nook is the outdoor deck with a gas grill and table for four. The hot tub has been installed and is just waiting for your arrival!

This is a pet-friendly cabin and a one-time per-pet fee will be added if you bring your dog(s). The pet fees that will be added to your reservation are $75 + tax for the first and $25 + tax for each additional.

We did not use most of the amenities since we had a short visit. Plus, there was a burn ban going at the time. However, the place was beautiful and I would recommend this 100% and would stay there again if we plan to go back to Helen.

Everything was very clean, the bed was comfortable, plenty of towels, peaceful and woodsy property. The fireplace was perfect for our December stay. The hot tub was lovely!! For future guests to know- only pepper as far as seasonings, and no food storage containers, Saran Wrap, aluminum foil, or body wash so if you will need those things, make sure to bring your own.

Second times a charm......

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second time coming to this cabin retreat away from home and we really enjoy staying here. The hot tub was amazing and everything pretty much worked as it should. The only complaint that we has was that using the items in the kitchen was hit or miss. One of the afternoons that we were there i had called the rental company asking for a can opener because we searched everywhere to no avail. The gentleman I spoke to said he’d have one brought out to us but it would be about 30 min. We waited and no one ever showed so we had to purchase one in town. That was kinda disappointing to say the least .
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Feb 2026
So glad to hear you loved the cabin! I’m surprised the can opener wasn’t delivered. I know our staff grabbed one from our inventory and planned to drop it off on his way home, so I will definitely look into what happened. As a thank you for your patience, we’d be happy to extend a 10% discount toward your next stay.
