Really enjoyed this property. The house is a bit dated in some regards (mainly electrical), but nothing significant. The location is great for a stay in Helen and that made for easy access to the places we wanted to go. Good communication from the host and no real issues at all. Will definitely look here first if we are planning to be back in the area.

We enjoyed our stay here! It was very clean and cozy. The mattress themselves are comfortable, however the bed frames in both bedrooms were extremely loud. Every move you made it felt like the bed was going to fall apart. Other than the loud bed frames, our stay was pretty wonderful here! Would love to stay again!

Labor day trip to Helen

The property was the perfect location for our weekend getaway. Unbelievable to have such a secluded and private location and basically be right in town! Short walk to everything and great outdoor spaces at the house! Would definitely stay again.

Cozy, private home, easy walk everything.

This is the perfect property nestled just above town. Very easy walk anywhere you want to go and a nature enthusiasts dream. The host were great and do all possible to add any comforts needed. We will be back, loved this beautiful older gem tucked perfectly into Helen GA’s history.

This property was perfect for our family fall get away. Everyone had plenty of room and enjoyed all of the outdoor space. We had a fire one night and had fun with the outdoor games. We appreciated the different seating areas outside. The property is close to Helen, and we enjoyed the ease of walking and not driving to town.

Our annual Mother Daughter Trip 2025 was wonderful here! The location is absolutely perfect. This older home is quaint and charming, and conveniently situated with walkable access to shopping, restaurants and attractions. Nicely decorated, cozy fireplace, in a lovely park like setting. The outdoor space includes a firepit, TV, and screened in patio area. Ideal for those seeking the great outdoors and hiking trails. Many vineyards and wineries close by too. Will definitely return!

A great location. House was very clean Far enough away to be out of the hustle bustle but close enough to be able to walk to town. House was set up nicely. We enjoyed sitting on the back patio watching the leaves fall. Would stay here again

Loved the location !

We loved the location of the property surrounding with trees and nature. Loved the short walk to downtown area and to hiking trail that is right outside of the house. One little improvement needed is to fix master bathroom shower drain, water drains very slowly and you end up standing in a pool of water even after quick shower. But we would definitely come again.

Secluded getaway

If you're looking for a secluded getaway in a country setting with privacy yet walking distance to Helen this is it. Very nice home set in the middle of 4 acres of woods. At night you can see the Helen lights through the woods. Huge master bed and bath with a King bed and the other bedroom has a queen bed with a bathroom right across the hall.

When we got there the smoke alarm battery was chirping. The host had one sent over right away. I recommend not arriving in the dark. It’s in a secluded place and it was hard to tell if we were in the right place. It was very nicely decorated for Christmas. The beds were way too hard for me. I slept on the couch. If you don’t like hard beds, bring a mattress pad!!! The area is beautiful!!

Great cabin !

Great clean cabin! Close to downtown and can walk to downtown with no problem! Everything about the cabin was great from the comfortable beds to the living room and kitchen, plus the outside was nice with all the seating and fire pit! The only knock to us was Helen itself, it has changed over the years not quite as nice and clean as it use to be! But if you going to Helen this cabin should be one of the first to pick from with how nice the cabin is and how close it is to downtown but out of the noise up on the hill out but itself!

Weekend Getaway

We enjoyed the location. A short walk down the hill to the restaurants and activities along the main road in Helen. No need to pay the daily parking fee that the town charges. The home was also next to a hiking trail that we took for a portion of the day to a park. The home is adequate with comfortable beds, washer and dryer, but no extras. Bring coffee pods and ground coffee for the keurig and coffee maker and any condiments you want.
