About this property

Relax and Unwind at the Creekside Cottage! Near wineries & dog friendly.

Enjoy relaxing to the sounds of the babbling creek while sipping wine in the hot tub or sitting around the fire pit! Just 10 minutes from the Bavarian Alps replica town of Helen, Georgia. Dog friendly & convenient to local wineries! Huge yard perfect for letting the kids explore.

Whether you're visiting the North Georgia mountains for a wedding, winery tours, one of our many festivals like Oktoberfest, admiring the fall leaves, a college graduation, a family vacation, or in hopes of striking it rich while panning for gold, we're certain that our home will be a place of rest and relaxation during your stay.

Visit the Bavarian Alps replica town of Helen, Georgia nestled in the Appalachian mountains of North Georgia. This area was once home to the mighty Cherokee. When settled by Europeans in the 1800's it became the site of the first U.S. gold rush. Then later became the quaint little German town it is today.

Come during late September through the end of October to not only enjoy the changing leaves, but also experience the Oktoberfest celebrations!

Our home is also an excellent place of respite for the adventurer! There are countless hiking trails, excellent roads for mountain biking, exceptional trout fishing waters, and more waterfalls than you can see on one trip.

Fun for the whole family too, with a waterpark, zip line adventures, horseback riding, river tubing, mini-golf, gold & gem mining, award-winning vineyards, a local brewery, unique shops, amish bakeries, antiquing, great local & German cuisine, and much more!

Our mountain cabin was built in 1997. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large living area, and a kitchen and dining area. Nearly 1000 sq. ft. of wrap around screened in porches to take in the fresh mountain air and sounds of running water. When you're ready to relax after a long day of exploring all the area has to offer, slip into the hot tub with a glass of wine or make s'mores by the camp fire out back.

There is a smart doorbell installed by the front door with audio and video recording capabilities for security purposes.

Everything here was top notch. Hot tub and extra amenities were clean and well maintained. The rooms and house itself had plenty of great stuff for our group of adults and also made us all want to come back with our families because of how well equipped it was for kids too. Between the porch, fire pit, hot tub and amazing creek seating area we had so much to do outside that we spent almost none inside.

By far the most thought-out accommodations for families. The cabin had everything from kitchen supplies to security for the kids on the screened-in porch. We loved the scenery and privacy. The location to Helen and the surrounding area was great. We highly recommend Creekside Cottage!

The house was perfect for our group of 6 adults and 1 toddler. We specifically chose this house for being kid friendly and safety features outlined on the listing and the location to Helen and Cleveland. The cottage came with everything! Even a Christmas tree all set up upon arrival, which was a festive touch. The cottage was secluded enough while still convenient to shopping, dining and the activities in Helen and surrounding area. Kitchen was nicely stocked with a few basics plus the various appliances at our disposal. Communication with our hosts was effortless. We'll definitely book again, perhaps in a warmer month!

Once again, Mitch’s rental does not disappoint. We have stayed at all 3 of his rentals and he is an excellent host. He makes everything so easy and communication is quick. This rental had something for everyone. The sitting area by the creek and the fire pit were beautiful and fun conversation gathering spots for us, as well as the hot tub was very much enjoyed. The location felt beautiful and peaceful and was very convenient to Helen and Cleveland. Another listing of Mitch’s that we will definitely return to stay at in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Mitch Lathem

Host profile image
I'm a happily married father, local real estate broker, nature and wildlife photographer, volunteer soccer coach, world traveler, outdoor enthusiast, adventure junkie, working for an international Christian missions organization.

I'm a native North Georgian. Born, raised, and currently living in Gainesville, just 20 minutes south of Dahlonega. My wife, Monya, and I met at Young Harris College in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains and then hung around Athens for a few years to earn our degrees from the University of Georgia. It was love at first sight. It just took her a few years to realize it. We got married in the fall of 2007 at Big Canoe, yep you guessed it... in the mountains. She went on to get her master's from Brenau University and is an elementary school teacher. She thinks she's smarter than me, she's probably right. She's certainly better looking.

Our team consists of our daughter, Adri (9), and our son, Adler (6). I always tell everyone, "we've done our part and created our replacements". She's compliant and contemplative, like her mother, and he's our little strong-willed explorer, just like his old man. We have the most gentle and loving Great Dane Lab mix named Sophie, a temperamental self absorbed cat named Coal, and a spastic rescue squirrel named Lucky.

My hair is quickly turning gray. It started at 17. I like to think of it as my pre-mature crown of glory. It's probably just hereditary. And yes, I was born with a beard.
