Very clean, comfortable, and well stocked. It was a quiet, secluded location with a great, open sky view from the deck. Comfortable beds, large open living space and game room made it the perfect place for several adult friends to hang out and catch up.

Hot tub was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked with cookware, serving utensils, dinnerware and plenty of glasses.The towels were plentiful and very nice. The house was very spacious for eight of us. Enough for privacy of needed.We had lots of fun playing all the games on the game room.The beds could have been more comfortable. It would have been nice to have had two king sized beds. They were good though and on good shape.

About the host

Hosted by Christie Campbell and Donald Mularz

Don and I are South Floridians who love the mountains of Georgia which will someday be our permanent home. We have hosted our guest cottage in Florida - 280 square feet - and it was such a great experience! Now we have our 3500 square foot mountain cabin that came with a wonderful 10 year 5 star VRBO rating. We are carrying the torch forward from the gracious previous owners. I am a frequent business traveler and have stayed in many short term rentals over the years. It has made me appreciate what a well stocked home provides in terms of comfort and convenience while on vacation or business. We have made sure that you have everything you need - and more than you expect -to have an enjoyable and comfortable stay.

Why they chose this property

The cabin is located in a lovely quiet neighborhood ten minutes from Helen and 20 minutes from Clarkesville. There are paved roads all the way in and you do not need a 4 wheel drive. We are surrounded by woods but have a beautiful lawn in the front where you will see the occasional deer, bunnies and birds. Wildlife abounds in the mountains. In the winter there is a great view of Yonah Mountain. It is a very family friendly house, secluded yet convenient.

What makes this property unique

We looked at many properties before we purchased Red Star Lodge. We fell in love with the large rooms and layout, the spacious dining area and the open floor plan on all levels compared to other properties that had small rooms and challenging access. We have year round great light on the sunporch. You can always see the sky here. We are close to all that Helen has to offer without the hustle and bustle of staying in town. Peace and quiet reigns.
