Had an unforgettable experience

I absolutely loved this rental cabin. It's very rustic and the outdoor games on the property were a lot of fun. Super quiet and secluded. Couldn't ask for a better way to get away from it all for a while. Beautiful farmhouse motifs and design. I would definitely recommend if you were looking for a place to stay in the area. I'll probably be coming back at some point in the future just for fun.

Returned for a second stay and loved it!

We love this cabin (second time staying here). The backyard is amazing for children with a shallow creek that is great for kids to play in as well as a multitude of yard games, gold panning, firepit, rope swing, etc. The beds are very comfortable and there were plenty of towels. The only minor recommendation I would have is more pots/pans that aren’t torn up and are larger. Also neither of the two can openers work. But these are minor details. Overall place is amazing and will definetly return!

Spring break

The cabin was nice and rustic. The grandkids enjoyed the creek and the rocking horse. Helen was a short drive and all the hiking we did was a pretty close. Zip lined at unicoi state park lodge.

Perfect getaway with kids!

The cabin was cozy and truly gave the “cabin” feel. Beds were comfortable. Quick drive to Helen. The outdoor yard was perfect with so much fun stuff to do including a swing-set. The creek was perfect for the kids to play in. We will definetly be returning!

Cozy Cabin

Such a cozy cabin that it was our 2nd time staying in. With the help of Cyndi and staff my husband was able to surprise me with a Valentine get away! There is so much that this cabin offers. Whether you are going to just bird watch or play one of the MANY games offered there’s something for everyone! Can’t wait to go back!

Super cute cabin in the woods

Loved the setup and decor of this cabin. There were plenty of spaces to relax and congregate inside and out. The kitchen was fully stocked for cooking. We enjoyed having games to pass the time. And the washer and dryer came in handy too! The local contact was very prompt in answering questions. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Property

Absolutely beautiful property. So peaceful it was like massage sitting on the porch drinking coffee. Every little detail was done with love. My only recommendation is to replace the upstairs mattress in the double bed. There is a gigantic hole in the middle of the mattress.

Chasing Waterfalls

Cabin is rustic & unique. Clean, but rustic. Beds very comfortable. Outside/deck could use a little spring upkeep, but understand not every guest respects their vaction home like their own home. We tried to clean up & leave better than we came. Movie projector/screen & hot tub was a highlight of cabin. Instant hot water heater made for great family of 5 showers at end of the day. Surrounding hiking/waterfalls were beautiful!

SpringBreak Cut Short,

I will give credit where it's due, the cabin was cute, clean, the beds were comfy, location was great, and the creek was a blast for my littles.. BUT the property manager was not responsive, the yard was cluttered, weird shed in the front, a bridge was connected to another property with a camper right next to it making it feel like someone could come on the property at any time, they had old ropes hanging over the creek (which my 8 year old swung on & it broke causing her to fall into the river & she landed on a tree), landline was not in working order, the hot water to the shower downstairs would go from scalding hot to freezing cold, and every night we would seem to get extreme headaches & feel very unwell. We had to cut our trip short leaving a day early because of how UNwell we felt. Highly disappointed with how this trip ended.

It was decent

The Cabin is way smaller than it appears in the picture. The hot tub did not work and the repair man was suppose to get a part the day of check in to fix it and never came back so we did not get to use it. I called the guest contact Friday afternoon and never got an answer. The twin beds in the room with the full bed could hardly fit an adult. The twin bunk beds was very difficult to climb in the top bunk. The stars for the top bunk are in the wall and not connected to the bed.

FIRST TIME VISIT TO HELEN

The property, the good side: The cabin is as pictured, decorated as vintage country style. The yard is large, mostly secluded and yard is equipped with many outdoor activity options. Cabin was acceptably clean and equipped. The screened porch is great.The property, the ? side: The posted pictures make the the rooms appear larger than they are. The cabin is probably comfortable for two couples or a couple and 2-3 kids but no more. As stated, it is decorated as vintage, unfortunately some of the "vintage" is probably picked up off side of the road, example is dresser in master BR. Property owner has hot water set so that it only gets warm, never hot. HVAC is controlled by a funky thermostat that continuously changes to some preset temps or either it is controlled remotely by wifi. Have to monitor the thermostat constantly to maintain cooler temp. A/C does not keep upstairs cool, no air flow. Property owner is aware of this because large BR has a portable cooling unit. Unfortunately the exhaust hose on it is damaged and will not stay attached. We manage to rig it so it would work to cool room somewhat but needs legitimate repair.Bottom line, we would rent this property again but we are now aware of its shortcomings. The positives do outweigh the negatives on this property but would not rate it as excellent (5 stars) but above average (4 stars).
