The cabin is cozy and has comfortable beds with quality mattresses which is a big deal to us. We had a great time with our family playing darts, billiards and Wii. The cabin is convenient to restaurants and groceries as well as things to do in the area. The host is great and sends a list of things to do in the area in advance of your stay. We felt very comfortable there. We highly recommend it and we plan on returning soon.

This is a perfect home for large family time, various options available to make memories for all ages. Kid area, adult area, family porch time. Kitchen is large enough for couple cooking. Our weekend focus was GA state Mtn fairgrounds concert series so limited time for other options. Mountain view from porch was wondrful anytime of day. We're saving this place for future stays. Amazing host!!! Easy access with security lock.

This place was just what our family needed to catch up! It is inevitable that one of our kids forgets a toothbrush and the host had a spare! My husband also forgot clothes behind which were promptly mailed to us. The kitchen was stocked with an assortment of coffees and spices as well as various cooking items. The little areas for reading were a personal favorite for me! Everything was cozy and warm and our kids loved the bunk room area. It had plenty of space for them to play pool, watch TV, lay down, or play wii.. All in the same area! The location was centered by other neighbors but everyone was very quiet! Highly recommend. Don't pass up on this!

We had an excellent time staying at this cabin in the Northern Georgia Mountains! The hosts did an excellent job communicating, both before our arrival and with any questions that arose while we were there. We stayed over Christmas and the hosts did a great job decorating for the season; a homey touch that was definitely welcome as we were traveling with 5 kids all ready for a visit from Santa Claus.Besides the decorations, you could tell how much work the hosts put in to making the cabin ready for guests. The amenities such as coffee and hot chocolate provided were a nice touch; as were all the books, board games, grill, large extendable dining room table that made our trip of 9 people an absolute joy.The views were lovely and all the kids enjoyed playing on the lower level which gave us adults some appreciated quieter time. There were a lot of things to do around town and we chose a few that were great. (Note to future renters, the close-by city of Helen has a beautiful set up for Christmas but do not go on the weekends. We went down mainly for the mountain coaster but it was absolute chaos! Weekdays would probably be a little less busy.) This was our first Christmas spent away from home and it was a wonderful place to make memories!

Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed review, Robert! We’re truly honored that you chose our cabin for your first Christmas away from home, it means a lot to know Hiawassee Retreat was a place where your family could make special memories together. We loved decorating for the season and are so glad the holiday touches, along with the coffee, hot chocolate, games and amenities, helped make your stay comfortable and fun for both kids and adults. It’s wonderful to hear the lower level gave the kids a space to enjoy while the adults could relax and take in the mountain views. We would love to welcome your family back anytime. -Ali & John

About the host

Host profile image
Hi, We are John & Ali. We are from Orlando, FL, and love the Blue Ridge Mountain areas of North Georgia and North Carolina. We have been visiting the area for the past 20 years and have just become owners of a cozy mountain cabin.
We hope that you have everything you need at our Hiawassee Retreat cabin in order to have a wonderful stay!

Why they chose this property

The North Georgia mountains are filled with kind people, gorgeous views and abundant nature. We love hiking, playing on Lake Chatuge, and exploring new areas and restaurants. Antiquing is a favorite activity, and there are several antique stores in every little town. Whatever you like, whether it's searching for waterfalls, boating, fishing, hiking, picnicking, shopping, fooding, or adventuring, this place has it all... and to top it off, there are beautiful mountain and lake views everywhere you go.

What makes this property unique

Mornings relaxing on the back porch, watching hummingbirds stop by, the melodious sounds of birds singing first thing in the morning, gazing out over the mountains and sparkling lake just fills our hearts with joy. Hiawassee Retreat is fully stocked with everything you should need for a relaxing, fun, adventure in the mountains... extra blankets for chilly nights, comfortable beds, many board and card games for kids and adults alike, pool and darts for the more competitive folks, acoustic guitar for the musicians of the group, kitchen tools for cooking & baking, firepit for gathering with friends and family, books galore for that vacation where you swore you would only relax, and much more. Our goal is to make the cabin your home away from home.
