We had a great time! It was clean and warm and had plenty of space. It was private but easy to get to and still close to Helen.
This was a very cozy cabin, the kitchen and had all the necessary items. Very quite, we experinces a black bear sighting waled right up to the cabin. It was an amazing stay.Thank you so much.
Rental was in a great location. Extremely quiet, private and peaceful. Babbling brook was soothing. The house was comfortable, internet reliable. It was a comfortable, relaxing few days and we would come back.

Second time at this property as it is perfect for two couples. Love its location as it's convenient to Helen and the surrounding area. Having used them many time, we have found Georgia Mountain Rentals to be a first class property management company!
We had a wonderful stay! It was very peaceful, playing out in the creek or sitting in the gazebo. It wasn’t too far away from Helen, so we could go out and about easily. The outside could definitely use a good pressure washing every once in a while. That was my only issue since the gazebo and chairs were kinda dirty to sit on. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, utensils, etc. We had plenty of towels to use during the stay. The couches weren’t all that comfortable, but nothing a pillow couldn’t solve. Overall, it was a great experience!

Everything was as described. Perfect location about 7 min outside of downtown. Beds were excellent. cabin was very clean. Hot tub was seren with beutiful views and the creek running behind property was perfect back drop with onstant running of water sounds floating through the trees. very private and a great cabin perfect set up for two couple to enjoy a weekend getaway. highly recommend.
We loved the area / property! It was as described and very comfortable. Hellen was an enjoyable area to visit! The weather was marvelious. We had no trouble following the arrival suggestions. The only negatives were the condition of the 1) access road, which would be troublesome during wet weather and 2) the house floor needed to be mopped.We really enjoyed the house and will return!

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed our stay. Very convenient to Helen, Cleveland, Brasstown Bald. Nice and clean two bedroom cabin. Everything was great. Had a little back yard to hang out in while our dog got a little exercise. I would definitely consider using this same cabin again if we go back to the same place.
Cabin was exactly as shown. Super clean. Relaxing location yet within short driving distance to the town of Helen and many other places. We went to Blue Ridge, Blairsville, Cleveland, Anna Ruby Falls, Mount Yonah Trail and Brasstown Ball. Even took a partial day trip to Athens to visit the U of Georgia. Came back each night to a comfortable and relaxing evening at the cabin. Had everything we needed during our stay. Would definitely recommend this cabin.
The cabin was well stocked with linens, towels, and soap. I really liked the layout of the cabin. The gazebo at the creek was a quiet place to reflect. Being close to Helen wasa bonus
After driving through downtown Helen GA for many years we finally decided to make a weekend out of it. The cabin was clean and perfectly located within a short distance of downtown Helen. There is an outdoor gazebo that is situated over a small creek that offers a perfect backdrop for a nighttime fire. Checking in with the management company was quick and easy. Their continued follow up throughput our stay was very convenient. If you have never stayed in the area, I recommend reading the local paper the cabin provided at check in.

We absolutely loved this cabin and will definitely return! Thanks to Georgia Mountain Rental's clear instructions, finding the cabin was a breeze. Located just three miles from Helen along a scenic road by the Unicoi National Forest, it's also conveniently close to Anna Ruby Falls. The cabin itself was spacious and spotless—we didn't want to leave! Communication with Georgia Mountain Rental was top-notch. Highly recommend!

Beautiful cabin.Full equipped.Super Clean.Fantastic location.
Loved the cozy yet spacious cabin with separate king sized rooms with en suites either side of the lounge and Kitchen.Enjoyed the jacuzzi during snow flurries while the lads went disc golfing. Plenty of towels to make that happen.Thank you had a fabulous time.
Sometimes life can get stressful so its always a great idea to get away for a few days alone with your spouse to reconnect to each other and back to nature. The location and cabin was perfect.
