About this property

Sitting on 20 beautiful acres, totally secluded, Just 6 miles from Helen, GA!

Our Hideaway offers 20 acres of privacy, mountain views, a small refreshing stream you can hike to, all bordering National Forest Land!

This secluded 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath authentic log cabin is nestled on a large tract of pristine mountain wilderness surrounded by Mt. Yonah and the National Forest. Hike to a peaceful mountain stream bordering the property or walk into the National Forest on the northern border in this rustic park like setting.

Deer, Wild Turkey, Black Bear and the nocturnal sounds of Owl are common at this ridge line retreat. At about 2,000 ft elevation this property has it all, mountain breezes, perennial mountain creek and a year round view of Mt. Yonah. This cabin has old world craftsmanship with all of the modern conveniences you would expect. Large floor to ceiling stone fireplace in the main living area to warm those cool mountain nights. The charm of a wood burning stove in the master suite to cut the early morning chill and warm that first pot of coffee.

Scenic views from 3 covered porches, a large grilling area and a large screened in pavilion. Camp style natural stone fire ring/camp area add to the feeling of a Ranger's cabin hidden away on a remote wildlife recreation area.

Only 6 miles from tubing and fishing in Alpine Helen, Georgia. Our Hideaway is within minutes of The Appalachian Trail, waterfall treks, kayaking, canoeing, world class white water rafting and minutes from numerous North Georgia wineries! Talk about a hiking mecca, get your boots ready! After your adventures there is plenty of shopping and dining in downtown Helen. Grab some steaks for the grill from Betty's Country Store and deserts from Hofers German Bakery ! After exploring Helen, make your way back to The Hideaway to relax, refuel and plan your next day's adventure!

What an amazing place to spend the week!! The cabin is beautiful and had everything that we could possibly want. It was a great place for the family to get together and spend some quality time catching up . Lots of places to hang out outside and just enjoy being in the forest! The host is wonderful and very accommodating and was available if we had any questions. Check in was super easy. It's very close to Helen and some great hiking spots. I would highly recommend staying at this cabin.

We booked this cabin for a multi-generational family gathering for a wedding weekend. The cabin is very clean and well stocked. I appreciated having an ice maker and dishwasher. There is also a washer and dryer available. The cabin has two porches with chairs and a swing, a screened room with a grill and a firepit with chairs. Unfortunately, we were so busy we didn't get to enjoy all the amenities such as the fireplace, grill or firepit, but would love to come back and enjoy a relaxing time. I appreciated there were games so I was able to play a game with my granddaughter. We enjoyed a couple of hours walking the property and sitting around the firepit. The sheets were very comfortable. I greatly appreciated that. My elderly parents were able to sleep downstairs, so they didn't have to climb the stairs. That was very important. The property is a secluded so you are not bothered by other people or noises. I highly recommend this cabin. The owner is quick to respond with any questions or concerns.

Birthday getaway

The Hideaway is a serene escape, perfect for a restorative getaway. You'll capture glimpses of deer, be serenaded by the sounds of nature, and may even see an owl. Everything we needed was at our fingertips or a quick call to the supreme hosts.

Perfect weekend getaway!

This beautiful and cozy cabin is perfectly tucked into the woods, making it a wonderful gathering place for guys who usually camp together but agreed to a cabin when the wives joined in. We had everything we needed inside and outside! The fire pit was a great place to enjoy each other Friday night; the kitchen served all our needs; and the sunrise from the front porch Saturday and Sunday morning was stunning. Karla and Jason have created an amazing retreat!

Great Cabin for Families

We were visiting the area with our Son, Daughter In Law and Grandson. The owners have done a great job to make you feel like you are at home. The cabin was very clean and stocked well. I always bring toilet paper, dish soap etc but it was not needed we had everything we needed. The porches and the fire pit area was a hit. We even saw deer wandering around the property. We will definitely stay here again.

Perfect family getaway

This was our first getaway as a family of 4 and it was wonderful to not think about work or other distractions but focus on our family and enjoy this special time. The cabin was immaculate and had all the warmth and necessities of our own home. Our two boys (3 and 4 years old) loved the fire pit and all of the outdoor activities on the property. Karla was so easy to communicate with and exceeded our expectations while staying at the cabin. The Hideaway helped to make sweet memories for our family and we will forever be grateful. We can’t wait to book out next family vacation here soon! -The Holley Family

The Hideaway was Home Away from Home

Everything was a total getaway experience. The drive up the mountain, the look and feel of the cabin and the amenities. We chose to unplug and use the cabin as much as we could. We had amazing meals at the cabin and everything we needed was provided to prepare our meals. We explored downtown Helen and had a ball Gem Mining, playing Miniature Golf and visiting the cool shops. This was one of the most relaxing and cool trips we've had as a family! We will definitely be back!! I'm telling all my friends about The Hideaway l!!!

Perfect weekend getaway

We traveled here with our adult children for a short weekend getaway. The area is lovely. The cabin is even better than pictured. Stocked very well with all you can think of. It was immaculate which is huge for me. The beds were very comfortable and the living space was perfect for 6 of us. The deck overlooking the property with the rockers and swing was a hit. We enjoyed sitting out there in the morning. Karla was very communicative and checked on us to make sure everything was ok. Even the neighbors down the hill were very nice and welcoming. We loved Serenity Winery on Friday night and would highly recommend checking them out. Helen was very touristy, but the surrounding area was beautiful with the wineries and hikes and little shops. We'll be back!

Al little fishing and a lot of relation

If you want to get away, have privacy and just chill this cabin is for you. The property owner was very communicative, the property was peaceful and it was only a few miles from Helen and the surrounding area. We got in a little trout fishing and a lot of eating, visiting wineries in the area and a lot of eating! I definitely recommend this property. The cabin was clean and what you expect a cabin to be like.

Why they chose this property

My husband & I have traveled to Helen, GA for many years and rented cabins for various getaways! We loved the town of Helen, the quaintness of Sautee, and the people in the area so much, we decided to purchase a vacation home for ourselves and to share with others.

What makes this property unique

20 Acres! A True Getaway! Just 4 miles to Helen, GA. Close to it all, but seems like a world away up @ The Hideaway! At almost 2,000 ft elevation, prepare for a great getaway!
