About this property

Sitting on 20 beautiful acres, totally secluded, Just 6 miles from Helen, GA!

Our Hideaway offers 20 acres of privacy, mountain views, a small refreshing stream you can hike to, all bordering National Forest Land!

This secluded 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath authentic log cabin is nestled on a large tract of pristine mountain wilderness surrounded by Mt. Yonah and the National Forest. Hike to a peaceful mountain stream bordering the property or walk into the National Forest on the northern border in this rustic park like setting.

Deer, Wild Turkey, Black Bear and the nocturnal sounds of Owl are common at this ridge line retreat. At about 2,000 ft elevation this property has it all, mountain breezes, perennial mountain creek and a year round view of Mt. Yonah. This cabin has old world craftsmanship with all of the modern conveniences you would expect. Large floor to ceiling stone fireplace in the main living area to warm those cool mountain nights. The charm of a wood burning stove in the master suite to cut the early morning chill and warm that first pot of coffee.

Scenic views from 3 covered porches, a large grilling area and a large screened in pavilion. Camp style natural stone fire ring/camp area add to the feeling of a Ranger's cabin hidden away on a remote wildlife recreation area.

Only 6 miles from tubing and fishing in Alpine Helen, Georgia. Our Hideaway is within minutes of The Appalachian Trail, waterfall treks, kayaking, canoeing, world class white water rafting and minutes from numerous North Georgia wineries! Talk about a hiking mecca, get your boots ready! After your adventures there is plenty of shopping and dining in downtown Helen. Grab some steaks for the grill from Betty's Country Store and deserts from Hofers German Bakery ! After exploring Helen, make your way back to The Hideaway to relax, refuel and plan your next day's adventure!

Fun family time

This cabin was the perfect location for our family getaway. Minutes from Helen, GA, and other tourist sites, but tucked away on a mountain top with beautiful scenery, deer wandering by, and woods to explore. Check-in was easy, the cabin was well stocked and met all of our expectations.

Perfect weekend getaway

We traveled here with our adult children for a short weekend getaway. The area is lovely. The cabin is even better than pictured. Stocked very well with all you can think of. It was immaculate which is huge for me. The beds were very comfortable and the living space was perfect for 6 of us. The deck overlooking the property with the rockers and swing was a hit. We enjoyed sitting out there in the morning. Karla was very communicative and checked on us to make sure everything was ok. Even the neighbors down the hill were very nice and welcoming. We loved Serenity Winery on Friday night and would highly recommend checking them out. Helen was very touristy, but the surrounding area was beautiful with the wineries and hikes and little shops. We'll be back!

Great stay!

My family stay at The Hideaway Cabin October 10-13. Everything was great! The cabin and grounds were very clean and there were plenty of amenities. The host, Karla, was very hands-on and the communication between us was great. There was plenty of room for my family. I highly recommend The Hideway Cabin for your next mountain getaway!

The Hideaway is a serene escape, perfect for a restorative getaway. You'll capture glimpses of deer, be serenaded by the sounds of nature, and may even see an owl. Everything we needed was at our fingertips or a quick call to the supreme hosts.

Perfect Hideaway

Karla and Jason have the most amazing Log cabin hideaway in Helen! Everything was beautiful inside and out. You have all the convenience of home but in a cozy cabin. The outside grounds look like a magazine. The views are breathtaking. We celebrated our anniversary here and we highly recommend this beautiful place. We will be back!!!

Spring Break in the Cabin

Where do I begin?! Karla and Jason were the absolute best hosts! We were actually gifted a stay from one veteran to another and then we bought a raffle ticket and won another stay and decided to add on a third stay, so we were there for 16 days! The house could not have been more perfect! Everything imaginable is available to you in the kitchen so when you arrive, bring nothing except the clothes that you need. There is a wonderful grocery store called Ingles that is close by and very affordable. Karla can get you fresh eggs from a local neighbor also when you stay! My husband is slightly handicapped and Karla made sure to accommodate some of his needs. They made sure that there was a ramp for him to access the home easily and having a downstairs bedroom was also very accommodating! There are two nice size bedrooms upstairs, along with a full bath, and the couch pulls out in the living room, and is actually quite comfortable! We had fires in the fireplace just about every night! do not buy firewood in town make sure that you get it from Karla and Jay for a small fee you can have firewood readily available! There was an absolute adorable swing out front where the grandchildren enjoyed themselves every day! Lots of birdfeeders to watch the birds and we even watched the deer come up and snack on the bird feed! Absolutely beautiful surroundings! We did not want to leave. Thank you Karla and Jason for everything!

THE GOAT!

Impressed! This is a true mountain cabin experience, the real thing! Twenty beautiful acres of mountain living. Explore this estate and the National Forest Land that it borders. You can hike the property and discover streams, springs and views of Yonah Monah. Less than 10 minutes from town for provisions, supplies, pubs and awesome restaurants. At 2000 feet elevation this cabin is sitting atop a mountain range and has everything needed for a natural getaway. Generator, fully stocked kitchen, and even firewood available for purchase upon request. This cabin has it all. Jason and Karla are the perfect hosts, exceeding all our expectations. Planning our next trip as I type! The pictures and videos don’t do the property justice. Jack S

Perfect In Every Way! They Thought Of EVERYTHING!

We enjoyed our stay @ The Hideaway Cabin. Karla & Jason were amazing hosts. When requested, we immediately received an email with some of their favorite restaurants and several "must do's" during our stay. We completed most of their suggestions but will be booking another stay next month for more exploration. The cabin was fully stocked, more than any property we have booked before. We had a blender, toaster, a bundt cake pan, a crock pot, air fryer, a wok and even a cute popcorn machine that the little ones loved using every night. The 3 beds were all comfortable, and the teens enjoyed sleeping on a bonus queen pull out sofa bed. They slept by the fire each night, playing board games. It was so relaxing to watch them put down their devices for a bit and just disconnect from technology. Although there are 3 Smart TV's, the kids may have turned 1 on for about an hour. They were so into exploring the property. When we woke each morning, they were already off for their morning hike. We sat on the large covered porch each morning w' coffee, watching birds build their nest, preparing for the birth of their babies. It was so peaceful. You can tell Karla and Jason love their property. From the cleanliness to the attention to detail, they adore this hidden gem. We will be back for 4 nights next month, and I cannot wait. I read several reviews before we selected The Hideaway. Every one hit the nail on the head. I could write much more about our stay. Book Now!

Thanksgiving hideaway!

We loved everything about the stay. The cabin and property are like something out of a magazine. It was far enough out to feel like an escape, but close enough for quick trips in to Helen or Cleveland. Communication and check-in were as easy as it gets. The hosts were kind and genuinely cared about our well-being. Of the places we've stayed, The Hideaway was without a doubt our favorite.

Perfect weekend getaway!

This beautiful and cozy cabin is perfectly tucked into the woods, making it a wonderful gathering place for guys who usually camp together but agreed to a cabin when the wives joined in. We had everything we needed inside and outside! The fire pit was a great place to enjoy each other Friday night; the kitchen served all our needs; and the sunrise from the front porch Saturday and Sunday morning was stunning. Karla and Jason have created an amazing retreat!

Best Little Cabin

Extremely clean, well-stocked, and welcoming cabin. Very spacious and perfect for our family of four, two adults and two teenagers. Location to Helen was perfect; about a 10 minute drive. Loads of wineries nearby. Cabin was secluded in the woods, so it was very quiet. No road noise. You could hear coyotes cry in the distance. Firewood was available for additional fee. I’m already planning my next stay. Owners were very approachable and stood ready to help if needed. Easiest check-in and check-out.

The Hideaway was Home Away from Home

Everything was a total getaway experience. The drive up the mountain, the look and feel of the cabin and the amenities. We chose to unplug and use the cabin as much as we could. We had amazing meals at the cabin and everything we needed was provided to prepare our meals. We explored downtown Helen and had a ball Gem Mining, playing Miniature Golf and visiting the cool shops. This was one of the most relaxing and cool trips we've had as a family! We will definitely be back!! I'm telling all my friends about The Hideaway l!!!

Labor Day Weekend Getaway

We enjoyed our stay and will definitely visit again. Home was nice and property was breath taking. We saw turkey and deer, no bear. We went i to town and enjoyed shopping and eating. With it being a holiday and so many people there were things we didn't get to do. It was nice swinging on the porch and just enjoying the scenery and grilling. But it was a wonderful time with family. The Weldon's
