About this property

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.

    There is a king bedroom with private bath on each side of the living room. The bedrooms have a smart TV, too! Each bathroom has tub/shower combinations and a single vanity.

    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!

    This is a pet-friendly cabin and a one-time per-pet fee will be added if you bring your dog(s). The pet fees that will be added to your reservation are $75 + tax for the first and $25 + tax for each additional.

Couple get away

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.

Great Getaway

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.

Relaxing stay!

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!

Our stay at the cabin

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.

Quiet and peaceful

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!!

HOLIDAY!!

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.

Lovely stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Enjoyed "Settin' on the Creek"

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.
