Arrive, drop your bags, and let the fire set the tone — this is where mountain days end and cozy nights begin.
Settle in after a day in the mountains — stretch out on the couch, light the fire, and enjoy an easy evening together.
End the day here — crisp linens, soft light, and a quiet room designed for deep rest.
Wake up slowly, make a fresh cup of coffee, and ease into the day with everything right where you need it.
A calm, uncluttered space with fresh towels ready—because the little comforts matter.

Escape to the "Cozy Helen Retreat," where rustic mountain charm meets modern convenience. Nestled just a 5-minute drive from the Bavarian-style shops and restaurants of downtown Helen, our apartment offers the perfect balance: close enough to enjoy the festivities, but tucked away in a quiet, wooded setting for a peaceful night’s sleep. No downtown noise, no parking stress—just pure relaxation.

Our stay in Helen was perfect! The location was lovely, just up the hill near Valhalla Resort. The apt itself was cozy with a gas fireplace that we sat in front of each night and our hosts were really responsive to all our questions.

The location was very nice with view of mountains since it was winter. Fireplace was a hit with a good gas flame that was warming. The set up is basic but comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. Good communication with host and clear info on check-in at gate. Note once you have the gate code you can use the back entrance with it and makes it easier to get to Anna Ruby Falls and other north of Helen without going thru town. Town was very crowded between Christmas and New Year. Would definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay! The hosts were so attentive and responsive. The house was very clean. The bedroom and bathroom was very spacious. They had coffee, creamer, and chocolates out for us. Which we enjoyed very much. From check in to check out everything was perfect. I would definitely book with them again. They were a pleasure to work with and their house was perfect for us! Thanks for letting us stay.

Although sleek, clean, and simply furnished, it was all we needed for a 3-night stay. The ease of checking in and out was a plus! At other condos, we're accustomed to stripping beds, starting a load of linens, starting the dishwasher, taking out the trash, and more. This was a breath of fresh air. The gas fireplace was a nice addition to the ambiance.We would like to suggest an extra blanket or two, and a bath mat be provided for future guests. And, don't forget to check batteries in remotes and lightbulbs! We did replace a battery in the remote for the living room TV.Thank you for your hospitality.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Hi, we’re Jessie and Anna. We love sharing the charm of Helen and the surrounding North Georgia mountains with visitors from near and far.

Nacoochee is a comfortable one-bedroom retreat in Innsbruck — close enough to downtown Helen (just 1.3 miles) to enjoy Oktoberfest, dining, and shopping, yet tucked into a quiet, wooded setting when you’re ready to relax.

Our goal is to provide a welcoming space where you can unwind, recharge, and make the most of your time in the mountains. We’re glad you’ve chosen to stay and hope your visit is a memorable one.

Why they chose this property

We chose Nacoochee because it offers more space than a typical studio while still being just 1.3 miles from downtown Helen. It’s the best of both worlds — close to Oktoberfest, restaurants, and shops, but set in a quiet Innsbruck location for peaceful evenings.

What makes this property special is the cozy living room with a fireplace and the convenience of a full kitchen and private patio. Guests can spread out, cook meals, and enjoy a little extra comfort after a day of exploring.

For us, it’s the balance of accessibility and relaxation. You can be at Helen’s seasonal festivals in minutes, then return to a calm retreat surrounded by the North Georgia mountains.

What makes this property unique

Nacoochee offers the perfect balance of comfort and convenience. Guests enjoy a king bedroom, a cozy living room with a gas log fireplace, a full kitchen for easy meals, and a private patio overlooking the woods.

The location is another highlight — just 1.3 miles from downtown Helen. You can be at Oktoberfest, restaurants, and shops in minutes, then return to a quiet Innsbruck community for a restful night.

It’s an inviting retreat designed to make your Helen getaway simple, comfortable, and memorable.
