After having to cancel our trip to Asheville due to Hurricane Helene, we pivoted to Northern Georgia near Helen. The cabin was lovely, a real cabin feel. Very airy and open feel. It was isolated enough that you couldnât see or hear others nearby so great for privacy. Great view of the peaceful woods. It is about a 25 min drive to Helen which is great fun and a beautiful drive through farmland. Highly recommend.
This property is absolutely beautiful. My family enjoyed getting in the sauna and hot tub! We also enjoyed playing pool. I would highly recommend the Holiday!
The property looks just like the pictures! As teachers, my wife and I went for a spring break getaway! We liked the location of the cabin as it is close to Helen and the many wineries in the area. Our last full day in the cabin, it rained all day so we were stuck at the cabin and were not bored at all! Between, playing billiards, soaking in the hot tub and using the sauna there was plenty to do staying in.
We walked into the cabin and were beyond pleasantly surprised!! It smelled so clean and everything looked lovely me it was new. The cabin is set up to handle a family without everyone being on top of each other and there were lots of little places to go to drink coffee and read or watch movies etc. we wish we could have stayed longer and definitely hope to come back soon to explore the area better and enjoy the cabin.
We stayed for 5 nights over New Years. 4 adults and 2 kids. The layout was great for two families. The location is fantastic - remote enough to feel like a getaway, but close enough to all of the conveniences and activities in the surrounding areas. The wifi was fast and great. The hiking in the woods just outside the cabin is quite nice. We really enjoyed our stay and we will be back!
Pros;
This is a beautiful house, very clean and looks exactly as pictures posted online. The hot tub was great and everyone enjoyed the pool table and the firepit area. The beds were all very comfy and the kitchen and dining area is beautiful!
Cons;
Usually when we rent cabins they leave you some spray cleaner, dish soap, paper towels and toilet paper. Sometimes even a welcome gift of these items that we always leave the unused portion for the next renters. Be aware If you're looking to rent this property you need to bring EVERYTHING and a baking sheet.
I had much difficulty getting in touch with the mgmt staff, the phone nearly always went to voicemail and they typically would not return calls. Check in was easy once we received the correct access code. The cabin was dirty. The breakfast bar was dirty and had thick sticky substances on it. There were tons of crumbs and fruit loops under the dining table and a dead snake 10â long ( for a while - was dried out) by the sliding door of the lower level. Several of the lamps needed lightbulbs replaced and only 2 of the 5 TVs worked. Website doesnât state, but you need to provide all toiletries. We purchased cleaning supplies, hand soaps for the sinks and a new kitchen sponge (as the one provided was disgusting). The cabin is really nice, location is amazing! The nighttime sounds of the woods is incredible. Just needs a more thorough clean and a few added touches could completely change this cabin from a 2 star to a 4. Add better communication with the mgmt company and it would be a 5!
This cabin was by far my favorite to stay in. It had a hot tub, pool table, sauna, and it's own little trail through the woods(including a little river). We were about to spend one entire day just enjoying the cabin itself and saving money. We had a full family Range of ages with adults. The were all able to enjoy the amenities. If you're planning on coming I would suggest bringing a few extra blankets, baking sheets, and maybe a little of your favorite cooking
Absolutely loved the cabin ! Each bedroom having its own bathroom was an excellent plus. Check in was easy, directions were helpful. Would come back again!
The house was amazing and perfect for our birthday weekend.
The only thing that I would say that the owner needs to have is cookie sheets. there is only one small one.
The house was beautiful but upon arrival we have to call maintenance for a flood in the bathroom. We had to call them again the next morning when we tried showering to find there was no hot water in the bathrooms and the showers hadn't been cleaned. Luckily, the maintenance person and housekeeper came to help within about an hour from being called but not how you want to spend a vacation. The trash had not been emptied outside either so we had to keep our trash inside for fear of animals getting to it if we left it outside and outside of the full trash bin. We did call the manager about it and she said someone was on the way to take care of it but no one ever showed. If you do use this cabin, bring extra blankets and towels or you'll need to call the manager for those as well.
Besides all of that the house itself is very pretty and we made the most of our trip even with the bumps along the way.
It was a nice cabin. The location was too bad. It wasnât as clean as I had hoped so.
It was okay. My husband killed a massive wolf spider in the basement bedroom. The handle of the refrigerator was taped on. I walked in during the middle of the cleaning which I wasnât very impressed with the cleaning.
Beautiful cabin with lots of amenities, just needs attention to keep up with them! The cabin cleaning is probably best determined by how the previous guest leave it, so bring your own cleaning supplies! The outside ground maintenance is only the bare minimum as the shrubs are over grown and very close up to the cabin.. The bbq grill is probably best for small quick meals only because of its size! If you miss it it is directly in front of house between the overgrown shrubs & trash can. The instructions are precise about driving there & WiFi reception! So use it & make note of this. Only two Tvâs operate on satellite & one useS firestick and two tvâs were not connected at all.! The Lamp in one of guest room didnât work as well as the light in master bedroom shower! (No response from management either)
The beds were very soft & comfortable to sleep in, but be sure to bring extra towels & sort. I was lucky enough to find some in the dryer waiting to be folded and placed in the respective bathrooms ( at least the clean ones, some were badly stained, so we used them to clean the notable bathtub ring)! Also would have appreciated a mop & broom to tidy up too! Also the rooms are NOT soundproof at all!
The decor is beautiful and wouldnât hurt if more attention was used to keep it that way!
Lastly the pool table in basement was lots of fun, but if youâre a serious player, bring your necessary equipment to play (chalk, new tips or Even your own stick)!!!
Overall beautiful place, not too far from downtown Helen, but definitely a relaxing place to stay!
