Settin' on the Creek - Let Your Cares Drift Away
This cabin is cozy on the inside and out! Once you arrive, you will be drawn to the sound of the babbling creek in the back yard. Sit in the gazebo and let your cares drift away. There is also a bench swing and an outdoor fire pit with seating all around. Relax in the hot tub after a day exploring the beautiful Helen area. This cabin is pet-friendly, so don't leave home without the doggie!
Enter the cabin through the front door and feel right at home in the large living room and open dining room. Sit back on the brand new leather furniture and watch your favorite show or sport on the smart TV through the free YouTube TV subscription. During the cooler months, start a fire in the wood burning fireplace to set the perfect atmosphere in your cabin getaway.
The kitchen features a small breakfast counter, stove/oven, microwave and full size refrigerator. There's both a standard drip coffee maker and a Keurig for your convenience. Bring your coffee and condiments for a cup of joe just the way you like it. The washer and dryer are located in the laundry room just next to the dining area.

Out the kitchen door is a reading porch with rocking chairs and view of the woods. Beyond this little nook is the outdoor deck with a gas grill and table for four. The hot tub has been installed and is just waiting for your arrival!

The cabin was well stocked with linens, towels, and soap. I really liked the layout of the cabin. The gazebo at the creek was a quiet place to reflect. Being close to Helen wasa bonus
Sometimes life can get stressful so its always a great idea to get away for a few days alone with your spouse to reconnect to each other and back to nature. The location and cabin was perfect.

Beautiful cabin.Full equipped.Super Clean.Fantastic location.
Cabin was exactly as shown. Super clean. Relaxing location yet within short driving distance to the town of Helen and many other places. We went to Blue Ridge, Blairsville, Cleveland, Anna Ruby Falls, Mount Yonah Trail and Brasstown Ball. Even took a partial day trip to Athens to visit the U of Georgia. Came back each night to a comfortable and relaxing evening at the cabin. Had everything we needed during our stay. Would definitely recommend this cabin.
Loved the cozy yet spacious cabin with separate king sized rooms with en suites either side of the lounge and Kitchen.Enjoyed the jacuzzi during snow flurries while the lads went disc golfing. Plenty of towels to make that happen.Thank you had a fabulous time.
Great cabin in the woods in a good location! Loved the fact that both bedrooms had king size beds! When you have 4 adults traveling that makes it even better....no one likes to sleep in a twin bed....the hot tub was also welcome in the cool evenings, and the bubble of the little creek by the gazebo was very nice!
Very nice location. Easy check in process and accessories at the cabin. About 3 miles from Helen which was perfect. If you want a nice quiet location, this is it. Has a nice outer enclosed, air conditioned porch. We absolutely would recommend it and plan to stay again soon.

We enjoyed our stay. Very convenient to Helen, Cleveland, Brasstown Bald. Nice and clean two bedroom cabin. Everything was great. Had a little back yard to hang out in while our dog got a little exercise. I would definitely consider using this same cabin again if we go back to the same place.

This is a lovely cabin and location. We were close to Helen and surrounding places. The woods are soooo quiet that we slept later than ever! Definitely bring your own spices, etc as it does not offer more than the bare necessities. Lovely hot tub!!

We absolutely loved this cabin and will definitely return! Thanks to Georgia Mountain Rental's clear instructions, finding the cabin was a breeze. Located just three miles from Helen along a scenic road by the Unicoi National Forest, it's also conveniently close to Anna Ruby Falls. The cabin itself was spacious and spotless—we didn't want to leave! Communication with Georgia Mountain Rental was top-notch. Highly recommend!
What a delightful getaway. It was perfect for my husband myself and our yorkie. We could enjoy the sounds of silence or the sounds of the creek by the creek. If we wanted to take a stroll, the road was there for us with nature talking to us. Thank you.

My mother and I had a lovely week-long stay in this cabin. It was close enough to Helen and other areas of interest but still afforded peace and tranquility while "at home" during our stay. Everything was clean and well-stocked, and the creek in the backyard was a nice place to sit and relax. Additionally, as a storm approached the area during our stay, the management team reached out to make sure we were safe. I would highly recommend this cabin and this management team to anyone visiting the area.

This was our first time visiting Helen, GA and we really enjoyed our stay in this lovely and cozy cabin. The pictures and description of the cabin were accurate and everything was clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the fire pit each evening and appreciated that our dog could join us as well. We will definitely be back and thank you for the friendly customer service.

The cabin was exceptionally clean and comfortable for the 3 nights we stayed. The king sized beds felt firm the first night but I got used to them. The water pressure was amazing and the location was peaceful. Very close to Helen and other interesting sites. Overall we were very happy with it. Also the customer service team were prompt and friendly to work with.
This was a pretty good layout for older guests, without many stairs to deal with. Only the exit from the back deck had stairs, and that backyard was otherwise accessible. Neat gazebo over the creek. It would be nice to have a gate at the top of those stairs for containing small children or pets. The cabin was exceptionally clean! Ony about 5 minutes from Helen, Ga.
