The house has 3 bedrooms (one has a bonus room with twin beds separated by curtain divider), 2 bathsn (one tub and one walk in shower) and a kitchen with updated appliances including a double convection oven. The front porch has views of Skitts Mountain and Long Mountain and has perimeter screened in glass windows that open out, rocking chairs, and a porch swing. Beautiful sunset vistas can be enjoyed insect free. The front yard has huge oak trees.
The central architectural feature of the house is a big rock fireplace with gas logs on the living room side and a functional cast iron wood heater/stove on the kitchen side. These both contribute to a warm, cozy stay in cooler weather. Central Heating and Air will ensure your stay is comfortable year round.

The Farmhouse house is centrally located to many tourist destinations in Northeast GA. Several vineyards and wedding venues are only minutes away. Local activities include sightseeing, kayaking, bicycling, Hiking, Golf, and of course, tubing, dining and shopping in Helen, GA.

Family Friendly Farmhouse

Highly recommend this rental. Our family, ranging from 17 to 80, was comfortable at this cozy farmhouse. Sitting around the fireplace or playing games at the dining room table, we were able to enjoy our family vacation. Location was perfect and quiet while being just a short drive to stores and attractions. Our hosts were helpful and a pleasure to schedule with.

Quaint and roomy home in a beautiful location near Helen and Cleveland

This owner is excellent at communicating- found us lots of side hikes and suggestions while we were up there. The home is not fancy, but has plenty of space and is a bargain for a moderately sized family group. If we need somewhere nearby in the future we definitely hope this is available.

Fantastic Farmhouse

We wanted to be close to Helen but not too close. The house is older but nice. Another reviewer commented that it reminded them of past times. My wife and I agree. It reminded us of days spent on our grandparents farms out west. We loved it. Plenty of room for our family. The Christmas decorations were nice too.

Fabulous Guest Experience

Even before we arrived our host was already making sure we felt welcome and comfortable for our stay. The home truly had the atmosphere of a family visit instead of a generic vacation rental, and again much of that was due to our fabulous host who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed so we could enjoy our weekend worry free. Everything in the home was clean and in good repair, and well outfitted. We would have had a great time on our own anyway, but our hosts’ attentiveness to detail really made our stay unforgettable. Will definitely stay again!

Fun rural property

We felt right at home in this farmhouse. The host made sure everything was okay, and went out of his way to help our young men from New Zealand have a good time. The ten days went by all too fast. My young grandchildren visited and enjoyed an evening bonfire in the fire pit. We enjoyed the trails through the woods which the host showed us with a ride in his Jeep. A memorable time!

The old Homestead

This was the home of my husband's parents who past away. We enjoyed many years visiting here. Steve has done some updating but still leaving the charm of the old farmhouse. We had a little family reunion (the siblings) and brought back a lot of great memories. It's a beautiful area and setting surrounded by the mountains. It's close to many restaurants and activities. Very close to downtown Helen. You won't be disappointed. Steve your host is very accommodating. I would highly recommend staying

Grandma’s House

We felt like we had stepped back in time and were staying at our grandmother’s house! If I could take that kitchen home with me, I would have! There is lots of space for everyone, the kitchen I well stocked, the beds are comfortable, and the host are fantastic! If we are ever in the area, we will definitely be back! Only suggestion is take more towels if you plan on tubing or any other water activities. You will need them. But over all, we absolutely loved our stay!

After Christmas Get Away

We had a wonderful stay at this property! Steve is an excellent host and was extremely easy to communicate and was available to help if needed. He invited us to explore the property on our own also! The house is older but very clean! Wifi and cell reception are not great but that is certainly not Steve's fault. There is also a TV with a firestick to watch Prime and Netflix. We are looking forward to staying here again

Large country farmhouse

The farmhouse is exactly that, an older homestead style farmhouse. Probably been in the family for years. There’s plenty of room here! We appreciated the small touches like coffee, and shampoo! Communication was excellent. There is no view. The yard could stand some clearing out/cleaning up….However, everything was very clean inside!

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Sept, 2022
Sadly, our neighbors to the North have planted bamboo which destroyed our views of Yonah Mtn which is about 6 miles away. There is nothing I can do about it. While adding more privacy, the bay window that was designed to view Yonah now just looks out upon the yard. There are views of smaller mountains to the west and southwest across open fields., but you cannot see the Blueridge mountain range to the north from inside the house anymore As for the yard, We had a large limb break off an oak tree and I have not had time to clean that up, but I do keep the 4 acre lawn mowed and I weed eat around the fire pit and house where guests usually hang out. We bought the farmhouse seven or eight years ago because it adjoined us and fixed it up for a short term rental two years ago after our daughter moved out. Several guest have said it reminds them of their grandmother's house. We have never tried to advertise that this home is up in the mountains. They are a short drive away, but this is farm country with big fields and tracts of land that are undeveloped and not too steep to farm. I thought VRBO showed the location of it on a map of the area and folks could see that we are Southeast of Cleveland GA. The mountain cabins and most of the tourists are in the North end of White county. We are located in the less busy farming area where most of the vineyards are. We have ~135 acres for guests to enjoy who want to get away from the crowds.

About the host

Hosted by steve milhollin

Host profile image
My wife and I live on the adjacent property and bought this house several years ago when it became available. My wife is a teacher and I am an engineer. I mostly work from home, so I will usually be available if needed. We have lived here since November of 1990.

Why they chose this property

Our daughter lived here after we bought it for a few years until she got married and moved away. We really didn't want full time renters, so we decided to go the short term rental route. We have been fixing it up for a couple of years now and are licensed to operate in White County. Several of our friends who own vineyards and wedding venues have expressed their interest in booking this for their guests. CeNita and Yonah Mountain vineyards are less than five miles away. Several Lumpkin County vineyards are about 15 miles away.

What makes this property unique

This is a quiet, peaceful historic home place. This house is located in the farming area of White County. We have a couple of miles of walking trails through mature hardwoods on the private property. There is a minimally challenging 5 mile road walking/ bicycling loop that takes you across a wooden bridge spanning Mossy Creek and through beautiful big pastures and corn fields with surrounding mountain vistas. We have several creeks and a small pond for kids to explore and play in on our adjoining property . Wildwood Outfitter's Chattahoochee River take out landing for kayaking and rafting is only 6 miles away. The nearby Chattahoochee National forest provides many recreational opportunities such as hiking the Appalachian and other trails, hunting on several WMA's and trout fishing. This house would be the perfect base camp for your outdoor adventures.
