Great Location!

We loved this cabin and it's location. It's extremely close to downtown Helen and centrally located to the surrounding parks/waterfalls. The cabin was very clean and we enjoyed the firepit and hot tub after a day of hiking! I would definitely stay here again!

Cute place with history

The ideal location to where you feel mountainous secluded but still so close to town that you could walk if you wanted. I love the detailed history posted for guests to see. My family really enjoyed the hot tub and pool table!

Thank you for a great stay at the Charmant retreat. It was an incredible location and we really enjoyed the hot tub and the front porch with all the rain that came through. And it was so kid friendly -- our 9 year old old was meticulous in counting all the bears and managed to get the treasure box open! Plenty of blankets to go around as well. There is just one reason this review is 4-star instead of 5. The main downside for our group was that the king bedroom had sliding barn doors opening directly into the common area. The listing photos didn’t make this fully clear, and the doors provided limited visual and sound privacy, which mattered a lot in a group of mixed adults/families traveling together. Again, amazing place with unbeatable location, but guests should be aware that the biggest bedroom has more limited privacy than apparent in the listing.

Wonderful family weekend

The house was a short walk to all of the downtown Helen restaurants and shops. We enjoyed all the amenities of the home, outdoor spaces provided lots of entertainment with hot tub, fire pit and porch swing. In the home we enjoyed the pool table, connect four, scrabble, tic tac toe, checkers and the fire place. Snacks and bathroom amenities provided by the owner were a plus. We look forward to a return stay!

Charmant retreat Helen, GA

Super cute and comfy property. It was just my husband and our youngest daughter but there was plenty of room for more. The pictures were very accurate of the cabin. It was tastefully decorated and had wonderful views of Main Street Helen. You could see all the Christmas lights from the living room window. The hot tub was a nice bonus. We didn't have time to try out the firepit. Overall, very nice stay and we would book again.

Alpine Helen Heaven

We were in town celebrating a wedding and the location to Helen couldn’t have been better. It was an easy five minute walk to downtown. Even though it was close to downtown, you still felt like you were secluded. They have plenty of places to sit outside and we loved sitting by the fire pit. Only thing I would suggest is they clean off all the outside furniture before guests arrive as they were all fairly dirty. Other than that it was a great stay!
