This two-story luxury home has so much comfort and character, you and your party may never want to leave! This forest villa hosts lots of modern amenities that you're going to love, from the jetted tub to the game room and pool table. Enjoy that first-morning coffee out on the spacious deck overlooking the neighboring golf course then put the full kitchen to use to cook up a big mess of pancakes for friends and family. The large living area provides all the space and seating you'll need for movie night on the flatscreen TV, and the upstairs loft is just the place to get in a good book by yourself. After a day of exploring the Helen area, take a dip in the private hot tub to relax those tired limbs. And since this home is dog-friendly, even your canine companions are welcome to join in on the fun!

House was fantastic. Well equipped and the many beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the pool table, poker table and cornhole. We were disappointed that the fireplace was not working but other than that is was great!

Family stay in Helen
The location was great being that close to Helen, but not in the middle of the traffic
The property was gorgeous, very roomy. Helen is one of my family’s favorite places and this was very convenient to all the attractions. A very peaceful and tranquil setting.
Very accommodating for our family trip to Helen. We ran into some issues, but the property manager was helpful in trying to remedy them.

Great Home
We were out and about everyday and the house was perfect for us. Especially the corn hole. If you are staying in the house more than going out you might have more complaints but we loved it.

Ian, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re delighted to hear that the house was a perfect fit for your active days. We appreciate your thoughtful insight about guests who might spend more time indoors, and we’ll keep that in mind as we continue to improve our homes.
There was plenty of space for all 12 of us. Everyone felt the beds were comfortable. The porches, hottub, and grill were nice. We would stay here again.

Great house for a big group! There were 10 of us and we had a great time! Our only complaint was the internet was VERY spotty and that was how you watched TV. Other than that, great time!

Beautiful Cabin
We loved the view and the all around deck. Cabin layout nice, plenty of space. Didn't feel we were on top of each other. TV's had lots of options for watching different shows. We had a very nice time.
The house is beautiful and the location is perfect. We loved having a pool table to play on and for everyone to have their own space. Our only issue was that the hot tub didn't work properly and this was one of the reasons we booked this house. We would absolutely stay here again if they got the hot tub fixed.
