Beautiful home with an amazing view and all the staples needed for a wonderful family vacation. Kitchen is well stocked. Bed rooms are spacious and beds are comfortable. Patio is perfect to enjoy the evening or gorgeous sunrise over the mountains. Hot tub and fire pit round add relaxation to perfect days exploring and sight seeing. Location is perfect, minutes from Helen or Cleveland. Walked around Helen, rode the mtn coaster, visited BabyLand General Hospital, Anna Ruby Falls was beautiful, Dahlonega for canoeing and panning for gold and Brasstown Bald where we could see 4 states! Easy check in and check out. Didn't need a thing except more time!! Thanks Yonah Castle for helping us making great memories.

Family Vacation

This property is beautiful and fit our needs perfectly. Each bedroom having its own bathroom is great and the 1/2 bath by the front door was also a great feature. The location is in clise proximity to many trails and close to town so going out to eat or going to the grocery store was easy. Our host David was also very attentive with out being intrusive.

6 adults thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mount Yonah Castle. The view was spectacular from the main living area and the outside balcony. The house had everything you could possibly need or want plus more. Each bedroom had a king size bed and a private bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked with every appliance, dish, utensils, pots and pans as well as wine glasses and plastic glasses for the hot tub. We were able to enjoy the hot tub one night with the cool weather and the stars above. We were unable to use the fire pit due to red flag warnings however the inside gas fireplace certainly made up for it. The home is centrally located near the Bavarian town of Helen and is near many of the areas waterfalls and wineries. We will definitely book again when in the area.

The house is beautiful! Coffee in the mornings looking at a breath-taking view. The only problem is the road to get to the house is awful, thank goodness we were not in a car. I guess from the storm Helen it is very rutted, I was a guess last year and it was not near this bad. Over all I would give it a 9 out of 10

Wonderful Fall Vacay!

BEAUTUFUL property and home! It was everything we needed it to be! Beautiful, comfortable, relaxing and spacious enough for 3 couples to have their own bedroom & bath, as well as a spacious family room with plenty of seating for watching tv. The kitchen was very well-equipped, and the fire pit and hot tub was close enough to feel connected even if not out there when others were using it. The views every morning, noon and night were priceless for us! Just absolutely gorgeous! Very close to get to Helen and other locations to explore! Excellent communication with host! Definitely plan to be a returning guest in the future!

About the host

Hosted by David Rankin

Host profile image
My wife and I both grew up in Oklahoma and met at Oklahoma State University. We have retired here in central Georgia and really enjoy the calmer weather conditions and southern hospitality. We are both very active in our church, I play too much golf, and Laura does too much volunteering:) We enjoy traveling, wine, and spending quality time with friends and family.

Why they chose this property

We both grew up in Oklahoma, and while we really enjoyed our time there, there were no mountains, maybe some occasional hills:) We fell in love with this part of Georgia, and the mountain views from this home are absolutely spectacular. This is our second home and we love spending time here when the house is not rented. So, we want this home to have all the comforts and amenities that we are accustomed to....and my wife has wonderful tastes!! So, please enjoy The Mount Yonah Castle.
