About this property

Secluded Log Cabin on creek; near Helen, Anna Ruby Falls and Unicoi


“Over the creek and through the woods” . . . to the Log Cabin at Sautee Paso Fino Ranch, a secluded 'true log cabin' with two creeks flowing through the property. This privately owned, family mountain retreat is tucked away between historic Nacoochee Valley and Unicoi State Park – convenient to Helen, Unicoi State Park, Clarkesville, and Cleveland.

We welcome you to visit us and enjoy the majesty of the beautiful and ever-changing North Georgia Mountains where each season displays its own distinctive colors and scenes. Surrounding Helen is the Chattahoochee National Forest, Smithgall Woods, and Unicoi State Park. Richard Russell Scenic Highway and the Appalachian Trail are nearby – as well as many streams, waterfalls, hiking trails, and a wide variety of outdoor activities.

We keep a guest book that includes listings of shops, museums, restaurants, and other attractions.

As you arrive, we personally greet you to give you an opportunity to preview the cabin. We make every effort to provide a clean and pleasant environment for you to enjoy; therefore, this is strictly a non-smoking facility.

The cabin, located on Craig Creek within the Chattahoochee National Forest, is accessed by a gravel road.

Please notify owners about breed/size of pets upon your inquiry. Our pet friendly policy allows a maximum of 2 house trained dogs (50 lb limit). We do ask that your pets be placed in an inside carry kennel when you are away from the property. With your inquiry please state that you agree with our pet policy. Arrangements can be made for us to provide a kennel if needed. (No cats, please)

There are no rate changes for weekends or holidays.

To save costs for the traveler, we charge NO deposit, pet fee, etc. and we pay credit card fees. VRBO charges a service fee, and law requires that you pay state and local hotel/motel taxes.

Due to the creek crossing......No Motorcycles or ATVs

Wonderful Log cabin. Very secluded and the creek wraps around three sides of the house. Comfortable and the wi-fi works great. There is no cell service so the wi-fi was a mist. I would recommend if wanting to get away from the busy city. We will stay here again.

Perfect for a quiet forest getaway! You can hear the gentle rustling of the creek from every room through the magnolia trees. Minutes from Helen and Anna Ruby falls too! Great host, Don is very attentive to the guests and makes sure your expectations are met from the very beginning and he isn't satisfied if you agent satisfied. Definitely recommend sharing at this property and I'll be back again!

We had an amazing stay at this cabin! The location is incredibly quiet and sitting right beside a small creek meant we got to fall asleep to the sound of running water every night—it was so relaxing.Don met us at check-in to do a personal walkthrough and ensure everything met our expectations. He was super nice and made us feel right at home. We have absolutely no complaints and would love to stay here again!

Our trip at this cabin was good the house was great and very good with communication! There’s lots to do in the area. My only issue was trying to get to the cabin there’s a shallow creek to the entrance that you have to cross over . If you have a low vehicle this isn’t quite a good idea going over.

Cozy and warm. Clean and great atmosphere. I would sit more on the porch swing and listen to the calm creek no more than 5yards away. Great place to unplug and unwind. Everything is in close proximity maybe 15min to Helen.

The Best Cozy Cabin

If you’re looking for a peaceful cozy cabin, this is it! Surrounded by nature and a beautiful creek right outside, it gives you an off the grid mountain feel while still having all the amenities you could want AND is still very close to everything you could ever want to see and do in town. We look forward to staying here again in the future and will be highly recommending it for anyone looking for a cozy place to stay!

Absolutely relaxing and secluded, beautiful cabin steps from a serene creek. Don was super nice and everything was great. Tucked away in the mountain laurel but close enough to do activities in Unicoi or Helen. We saw a momma bear with three cubs at Unicoi state park, incredible….Kids had a blast, Dan

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Mar, 2020
Upon confirming the reservation on April 29, 2018, the guest was notified that we will have someone checking-out by noon on June 8 and we would have the cabin ready by 4:00 pm. On the day of arrival June 8, 2018, I received a call at 12:54 pm from the guest asking when "they could get into the cabin." I explained that the previous guest had checked-out at noon, the cabin was being cleaned and would be ready by 4:00 pm. Our 4:00 pm check-in time, also stated at the bottom of the guest’s confirmation, is posted on the website. Four bath towels, four hand towels and four wash cloths are initially supplied. We personally meet the guests at the cabin upon arrival. Guests are asked to call us if they need anything during their stay.

A great weekend away

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. We met the owner on arrival who graciously provided us with a tour of the property. The cabin was cute, clean and well maintained. It was the perfect distance to Helen, Unicoi and all the area attractions. We look forward to visiting again.
