My husband and I enjoyed our stay in this cute and cozy cabin. We didn’t use any of the amenities like the grill/picnic area or hot tub but everything looked nice and well kept. And we didn’t cook or use the fully stocked kitchenette area (except coffee in the morning) because too many fun restaurants in Helen! Great communication with hosts.

Very clean and close to Helen. Nice & quiet and even with cabins close together, the bushes/trees in front of each one made it feel private. We didn’t use the area behind the cabin but the pavilions were nice, had grills and we even saw charcoal, lighter fluid, and a metal box with the bean bags for the corn hole boards, along with some other toys.

This was the perfect spot to stay!!! We were slightly apprehensive at the beginning (due to driving in a car that’s not equipped for the altitudes) but from the start, we were in love with the cabin. It was perfect for us! The bed was incredibly comfortable, everything was clean, and it was very quiet. The owners came to check on us to see if we needed anything. Instructions for check out were very clear. We cannot wait to come back again!!

Short stay

We came to Helen as a two day stop over before heading to Florida. What an adorable place! It was absolutely perfect for what we needed. We prefer to get a cabin or house vs a hotel because we travel with our dog. This was the perfect stay. The host was so great and communication was extremely easy. We spent most of our time exploring the area but when we were at the cabin we enjoyed an amazing fire and comfy bed. 10 out of 10. Great place for a romantic get away with your loved one.

Tiny but comfortable. The bed was super comfy but the loft was incredibly hard to access. My 7 year old couldn’t climb the ladder without help. Also the kitchenette does not have a stove. It has a plug in 2 burner. No dishwasher, but there is a coffee pot. Bathroom was tiny but shower pressure was amazing.

Great stay!

Has everything you need for a little mountain/hiking getaway. Cottages are spaced out enough to offer privacy, and the hot tub is a nice touch especially after a day of hiking.

Relaxing & Enjoyable stay.

We had a great stay. Cabin was cozy and quiet with so much you could do outside. We did not use the firepit but did venture along one of the many walking trails. We are looking forward to returning again soon.

Wonderful place to stay. Close to Helen which is better than most when it comes to parking. We really enjoyed the outdoor firepit and had a great time with hot dogs and smores over the open fire. Penny and Shawn were easy to work with, so you will be grateful you rented from them.
