Cherokee Ridge 5 LOVE IT!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We have stayed with Georgia Mountain Rentals many times (4) over a few years time. We absolutely love these cabins! They are very private and it’s so peaceful and quiet at that location. We can relax in the hot tub after a long day of enjoying downtown Helen. It’s a great location! Just far enough out of the busy , but very close and convenient!

This was a great tiny house with everything you need to enjoy a mountain get away. It was clean, pet friendly, and Hot tub was perfect way to relax after long day traveling. Be mindful there is a neighboring loose and has access to roam property. It appeared friendly with my dogs although I was too scared to allow it to get close enough to confirm if it was. I was nervous about walking my dogs just in case the other dog saw us.

4/10 Poor

Keep getting emails wanting a review, so here you go.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was ok. Upon walking in the door it smelled very musty on the inside. Then noticed the pictures online are not entirely accurate and seem to be altered, not the same furniture and other things that were actually inside the cabin. Went in the bathroom and there possibly looked like mold on the wall right at the ceiling above the shower. Attempted to use the hot tub and the power was cut off to it and the water was nasty.

We made a courtesy call to you, and the notes say that you responded with "everything is fine." We would have been happy to come out and take care of anything that needed to be taken care of. I will be ordering new photos this week. Thank you for letting us know.

We had an amazing time at the cabin. Everything was perfect and clean. They have a dog gate around the porch , left treats and pup shampoo for us also. We were early and able to check in with the help of Stephanie. The cabin is probably 5 minutes from Unicoi for hiking and not even 10 from Helen.

Perfect for a couple's get away. Lots of nice touches through out the cabin. Far enough away from Helen, to still be secluded.

The cabin was so welcoming. We were greeted nu outside Christmas lights. When we opened the door ot was a Christmas womderland. Tastefully decorated and such a warm cozy feeling. The fireplace was mice since it was quite chilly on day. Our cabin was private amd and pet friendly which was great. The only reason i knocked off a star is we had difficulty with the hot tub. It was such a wonderful time. Thanks for making our Thanksgiving special.
