The cabin was so welcoming. We were greeted nu outside Christmas lights. When we opened the door ot was a Christmas womderland. Tastefully decorated and such a warm cozy feeling. The fireplace was mice since it was quite chilly on day. Our cabin was private amd and pet friendly which was great. The only reason i knocked off a star is we had difficulty with the hot tub. It was such a wonderful time. Thanks for making our Thanksgiving special.

We had an amazing time at the cabin. Everything was perfect and clean. They have a dog gate around the porch , left treats and pup shampoo for us also. We were early and able to check in with the help of Stephanie. The cabin is probably 5 minutes from Unicoi for hiking and not even 10 from Helen.

Cute getaway

The property was nice for a weekend getaway, close to Helen and lots of sightseeing. We wanted a quiet getaway, which this was. We also wanted a hottub and fireplace, which is why we rented this cabin. The kitchen was well appointed, it had everything you could need to make complete meals, minus the food.The biggest drawback, and our only complaints are in regard to the hottub and the fireplace, both are the primary reasons we rented this particular cabin, both were disappointing. The hottub jets did not work well, and the hottub did not hold a consistent temperature. The outdoor firepit worked well, the indoor fireplace did not work. We were told to jiggle the logs to get it to light, that didnt work, it only extinguised the pilot light, which we were unable to light again. It would have been helpful to have a manual with operating instructions.The cabin in general was basically clean. The floor could have been a little cleaner, or maybe a swiffer left behind so we could touch it up. The cute record player was a nice touch. A fun addition. All in all, we were happy with the rest of our stay at the cabin, it would have been great if everything worked.I recommend this rental if you want a quiet stay. I don't recommend it if you are looking forward to using the hottub or fireplace. We would have saved the extra money and rented a cabin in the state park, or one of the many other cabins for rent, instead.

Start Over!

One good thing: GPS actually took us straight to it! It's secluded and quiet. However, the whole cabin desperately needs a make over. The kitchen needs a new microwave, the fridge had hair in it and needed to be cleaned. ait,angues

Comfortable Mountain Retreat

Cute little cabin on top of the hill. Very private at the end of the dead end. Cabin is well equipped. Television wasn't the best reception, but we weren't there to watch tv. Bring a fire stick or other streaming device and you'll be fine. Great WIFI. Hot tub was nice at night with the gas fire pit going next to it. Close to Helen and Anna Ruby falls.

Nice cabin has mold in the bathroom

The cabin location was great short distance to Helen GA. We entered the cabin on Oct 27. There was a very musty smell that was overwhelming in the cabin. We purchased some candles/glade plugins. Did not take away the smell. Noticed mold on the ceiling in the bathroom and let the host know. The day bed squeaks a lot. Need a bigger TV. Overall the cabin needs updating especially the floors.

Perfect Mountain Getaway

This property was perfect for our weekend away! It was very clean, easy to find, loved the private location and hot tub in the deck. They were very accommodating and we really appreciated our fur friend being welcomed as well. They left extra towels for him and the gate on the deck was perfect to allow him in and out. We would definitely stay at this property again if we’re ever back in the area! Also, thanks for having a corkscrew in the kitchen for my wine!

Decent for the price

Other properties leading in really gave us a scare! Overall it was a good stay though, TV situation could definitely need an upgrade in size for a late night movie or a Saturday evening ball game while grilling. Wind got up during the night & there was lots of noise from trees or shrubs rubbing the cottage. We was happy to find out it wasn't bears, lol. It ended being a quiet & relaxing weekend.

Perfect Distance to Attractions

Cabin is a quick drive to Helen and the surrounding waterfalls/attractions, but still in quiet area. Management was friendly and helpful. Neither the fireplace or the outdoor fire pit were working, and they sent a nice man to help fix them, he was only able to get the fireplace working. The place is cute in photos, but outdated and bit rundown in person. Floor coming up, kitchen counters broken, older/well used kitchen supplies, inside lock on front door broken, and outdated/over extended electrical outlets. Wasn't horrible, but not the best either. Was Ok for a quick getaway but not impressed enough to rent again.

Excellent stay

Cozy, clean& in a great location. Communication with owner was great. Road/drive is quite rough getting in - washed out areas would be difficult to pass in a sedan but doable. This cabin is at the end on the road, quite a remote feel. Bed was comfy, everything we needed was here. Would definitely stay again!
