Great little place close to downtown!

My family and I greatly enjoyed our stay. The cabin is so cute, and the fireplace is a nice addition and really provides a lot of warmth quickly. We also loved the little deck overlooking a hole on the golf course, and the little coffee bar area. The only thing I would say is that I don’t think the cabin is ideal for little kids. There’s a big flight of wood stairs to the upstairs bedroom, which doesn’t have a door. That made us a little nervous with our 3 year old. But everything was fine, and it ended up being a near-perfect stay. It was a fun long weekend!

Cabin is cozy and hosts are exceptional!

Before I even talk about how delightful our stay at the Hidden Gem Cabin was, I have to say that our hosts were the best I have ever had at any rental! Their communication and responsiveness were exceptional, and you can tell so much thought has gone into maximizing every inch of space and into making you feel you have a "home away from home." We loved the security of being in a gated community, and the cabin couldn't be cuter! We walked into an immaculately clean and fresh-smelling cabin, and found that our hosts had thought of everything we might need. We enjoyed the nice bed linens and towels and the comfort of the beds. The kitchen was well stocked (never stayed at a rental that had an entire spice rack available!) and we appreciated having the option of both single-brew coffee and a drip coffee pot. It's like staying in a tree house, looking out from the windows to the woods; very quiet and peaceful. A great place for a relaxing stay. Appreciated that our host (Maureen) had provided detailed written instructions with pictures to help us find our way (our GPS got "confused"/frozen several times so we were thankful to have the written guidance as well). So thankful this cabin was Pet Friendly -- our first time ever to take our fur baby with us as most rentals make it cost prohibitive. Can't say enough good things about this (aptly named) Hidden Gem!

Great time at Hidden Gem

Property was very clean. I enjoyed the drive up the mountain, very steep in some places. We could not get the fireplace going, texted and got an answer to flip switch but that did not do the trick.We were there to celebrate my wife's birthday and actually had a great time.,

We loved this cabin in Helen, GA. Maureen and Bill were the most responsive hosts we have ever had with a VRBO rental. The property was absolutely adorable! It was very clean, newly renovated and decorated so cute! They left us a personalized gift upon check in and were so accommodating. We hope we can visit again. Staying at this property made our time in Helen perfect! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Best Couples Getaway

This mountain cabin is so cute and is truly a hidden gem! The home is beautifully decorated with mountain and fall decor. It smelled so lovely, that I even want this smell in our home. This was our first getaway in 10 years, and we loved being able to relax here when we weren't exploring Helen. I would definitely recommend this for a couples getaway. We wish we could've stayed longer, but if we do get to come back by ourselves, we would love to book our stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by MAUREEN PARENTE

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Maureen and I will be your hostess. My husband Bill and I visited Helen, Georgia a couple of years ago and we absolutely fell in love with it. After a couple of years of looking for property or a vacation home, we were blessed enough to recently find this beautiful little cabin located in Innsbruck and we couldn't pass it up. We recently renovated it and it's so darling that we have decided to share it with our guests.

Communication is very important to us, so please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or feed back. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us better and for choosing Hidden Gem Cabin. Enjoy your stay!

Why they chose this property

We chose Innsbruck, because it is a quiet gated community with beautiful blue ridge mountain views, where you are surrounded by nature everywhere you go and we literally have a golf course in our own backyard.

What makes this property unique

Our property is small but cozy, and it looks like a tree house nestled in the woods. The back of our property is located behind the 10th hole. It is located on a quiet cul-de-sac which is nice if you have children who want to play outside or want to walk your pets without a lot of street traffic.
