Perfect!

Such a lovely home with the perfect view. The home was immaculate, very clean and very comfortable, beautiful home. My husband and I both said it never felt like we were in a vacation rental, it felt like we were at home, that’s the level of comfort and sweetness this home brings.House had everything we needed. Perfect location, only about five minutes to Helen. Very quiet and peaceful area. Loved sitting outside and watching/listening to the birds on the lake. Nita was wonderful with communication. We can’t recommend this vacation rental enough.

We absolutely loved this place! We used it for our micro wedding and it was amazing, everything I could have asked for with the beautiful views of the mountain and lake. Everyone enjoyed fishing and hanging out on the patio around the fire pit. We will definitely come back!

We definitely enjoyed our stay again just like last summer! We had so much fun on the kayaks, fishing, sitting by the fire pit, making smores, getting in the hot tub, and family time together. We will be back next year!!

Wonderful! But some things I wish I had known...

First and foremost, we had a wonderful time. The property is gorgeous and is at a central location to conveniently visit all NE Georgia has to offer. We went on many waterfalls hikes, tubing, trout fishing, peach picking, and spent many hours fishing off the back patio. The house is tastefully decorated and roomy enough for my husband and I and our four young children. We all had a wonderful time!!! These are a few things I wish I had known. 1. The house is located right on a main and very busy road. The road noise is constant even through the night. This did detract quite a bit from the ability to relax and feel like you're "away from it all." 2. The kitchen, while gorgeous and filled with beautiful appliances, is stocked with the absolute lowest quality pots, pans, and accessories. It really made the cooking experience miserable. It was that bad!!! If you plan on cooking, you'll also need to bring any and all spices/oils/staples you'll need including salt and pepper. 3. There is a picture showing a "children's area" with kids sitting on a cabbage patch throne. There is no children's area in the house so maybe the picture label should be changed. The house has no board games, video games, or anything else to entertain kids so if you're planning a stay make sure you bring something in case it's rainy! To be fair, there is a lot for kids to do outside though! As mentioned, we did have a great time! The owner was very sweet, helpful, and a great communicator.

Excellent Lake Trip

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The lake was amazing. The fishing was spectacular! The availability of the kayaks, paddleboards, boat, and tubes made the trip. We spent most of our time on the water. The house was very nice and comfortable and included everything we needed. Our only negative was it being on such a busy road. However, having said that...everything listed above outweighed it. We can definitely see ourselves staying here again.

Fabulous

We did not want to leave. The property just takes your breath away. Kids (7,14 & 15) enjoyed fishing whenever we were 'home'. We used the kayaks, the fire pit for s'mores. Mornings are beautiful with coffee looking out over the lake and the stunning Yonah Mountain. Property is very close to Helen and all the commercial attractions which the family also enjoyed. It is just a great place to return to after to fully relax and unwind. Interior is lovely, beds are comfortable too. We are already talking about when we can go back.

About the host

Hosted by NITA Mays

Our family built this home in the early 80’s for the purpose of entraining the folks in the community. We have had numerous fishing events on the property . When the property was sold in 2019 my husband and I decided to purchase the chalet from the developer in order to preserve a small piece of our family’s history. After retiring from both the military and being a private business owner , we decided to remodel the home and let everyone enjoy a precious part of our history.

Why they chose this property

This property has a patio that is 2 foot off the lake edge . We will sometimes sit there all day and fish or just feed the geese.

What makes this property unique

There are no words to describe how much you and your family will enjoy your visit to our home.
