The stay was Awesome and amazing the cabins are fully stocked and very clean the view from all sides are breathtaking my family and I loved it and just could not get enough
Had a great time. We can only come back if we get a 4wd vehicle, but luckily we made it out of the driveway. A few times it was iffy actually getting out, but the listing did mention that so I didn’t take off any stars for it. Other than that. Loved the space, the hot tub, and the roominess for the price!!!

Thank you staying with us. For future we do have the hot tub working.
The space felt smaller than the pictures but the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for a holiday stay. The gravel driveway took skills and a high clearance car to manage. Everything was clean and location on the river was very relaxing
Such a fantastic location! Team went above and beyond to assist me with a unique request and saved the day. Hospitality at its finest! We will be back!

I booked this spot to get away and recover from a surgery. Absolutely beautiful, peaceful, lovely home! I stayed Monday through Monday and it was fabulous seeing the canoes come down the river on the weekend. Will absolutely book again.

Thank you for staying with Georgia Mountain Rentals!
The house/cabin was comfortable and the view in the back is just wonderful. Our only issue was that we found out late the hot tub wasn’t full and did not get to use it all weekend. However property manager did respond and gave a small refund.

Ehhh
It was secluded which was good. 4 wheel drive recommend. Cabin outdated but I didn't mind. 1 of the pumps in the hot tub didn't work but we reported that. If you want privacy and just get away, this is the place

Thank you for staying with us. That is a ruff road getting to the property. Looking into the Hot tub
Upon check in we had a few issues to discuss with the management company. After speaking with them, all was explained and went well. The location is nice and private, but close enough to ride into Helen each day. The kids enjoyed the river and we were just happy to unplug for a few days.

Great central location to all of the surrounding wineries. The driveway is extremely steep so be aware with the vehicle youre bringing. Cabin in itself had all the basic needs and enjoyed being so close to the river. River access is lots of rocks so bring water shoes! Overall enjoyed the stay!

I wanted to get away and hide in nature and this home fit the bill perfectly! The sound of the river was so calming and the hot tub made it better. I watched the kids hopping along the rocks while enjoying my coffee. Gorgeous views!! The house also had everything we needed to make a Thanksgiving feast. The only thing that stressed me out was that driveway. My car barely made it up the hill and sustained some damage. I would return but with a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Highly recommend.

We very much enjoyed our stay! The river was gorgeous and was the highlight of our trip. We caught some small bass and sunfish. It was nice to be able to bring the dogs and they enjoyed being in the gated porch with us. Driveway was a little scary and steep, but that's common in these areas and knew about it ahead of time.

The cabin needs some updating. The management company did a great job coming over and repairing the broken shower door. Very steep driveway. A truck or an SUV is a must.
