Stay Mid-week (Sun-Thurs. only) and receive an additional 10% off our regular rates! The newly renovated Cameron House Retreat is nestled in the foothills of Northeast GA wine country, and sits at the base of Mt. Yonah, and butts up to the Chatahoochee National Forest, a short walk from our property. This sprawling 5 bedroom, 4 full bath home is like no other in the area. Our home is located halfway between famous Alpine Helen and historical Cleveland, just 1.5 miles off Hwy. 75, and only 90 minutes NE of Atlanta. This area is quickly becoming known as THE premier spot for excellent wines, with more than a dozen local, highly rated wineries for enthusiasts to tour and taste! Convenient to restaurants, boutiques, sports activities, nature trails with beautiful waterfalls, scenic drives and quaint towns, Cameron House Retreat is the ideal vacation spot for adults and children alike. Kids can spend hours tubing down a lazy river, go miniature golfing, go carting, panning for gold, or enjoy a day at the water park, all minutes away! Enjoy roasting marshmallows by a campfire down by a private shared lake, take a rowboat out for a little fishing, a pedal boat out for a little paddling, relax in our shaded pavilion, or just sit on the dock and take in the breath-taking million dollar views. With wrap around porches, a hot tub, a large extended back deck, and a warm and cozy environment, our home is a stand-out. With many nooks and crannies, it is small enough to curl up in a favorite corner with a book, yet large enough to secure the privacy of up to 14 adults, and 3 infants! Each area has it's own unique theme and personality. The main floor has a fully equipped farmhouse style eat-in kitchen, a den with a gas fireplace, 2 bedrooms, a full bath, a dining room, laundry room, and a large living room with a wood burning fireplace for chilly nights. One flight up leads you to the master bedroom with vaulted ceilings and private terrace, another guest bedroom, and full bath, and a private wing that sleeps 6. NEW! A 500 sq. ft. detached game room for playing poker, ping-pong, Foosball, pool, and air hockey while watching sports on a 60" flat screen TV! Room for little kids, (big kids too), to color and play board games. Be prepared to be enchanted by our relaxing and secluded mountain retreat. And please don't think of it as going away, just think of it as coming home...

Beautiful property, accommodated all 11 of us, fully stocked with everything and didn’t want for anything. Host was very responsive and answered all questions. Will definitely stay here again.
Cameron house is without a doubt the best VRBO experience we have ever had! We gathered to celebrate my husband and my 40th with family from all over the country and this house accommodated all of our needs seamlessly. Beautifully decorated, this space truly feels like home. The hosts were such a pleasure to book with, responsive and kind! 10/10 we would absolutely stay here again!
Our stay in Helen was absolutely wonderful.The house was incredibly spacious and comfortablyaccommodated all 13 of us without ever feeling crowded. The layout was ideal for a large family gathering, giving everyone room to relax while still feeling connected.
We loved this house. It was cozy and eclectic, and perfect for our group of nine—we all had plenty of space to spread out. We took walks through the woods, spent full days on the lake fishing and relaxing, and just enjoyed being there. The host had everything you could need, from plastic bags and trash bags to laundry detergent and dryer sheets. The kitchen was well stocked with spices, plus plenty of pots, pans, and utensils. If we had questions, the host responded quickly.We also hiked Mount Yonah, which is just a 5-minute drive to the trailhead, and the views at the top (you can even see the house) were amazing. We’ll definitely be back to this area of Georgia.

Hi Will, it was a pleasure meeting all of you. Thanks for the amazing pictures from your hike to the top of Mount Yonah. Thanks Robert
Check in was easy. Great location to the trails and Helen. The hot tub was awesome. I used it several nights to relax after enjoying the nearby hiking trails. The house was very welcoming and the game room was used every night. Our 2 year old niece used the outdoor played every day. It was a great stay. Would stay at this location again.
Perfect location!!!! So close to Helen to enjoy the Helen Christmas Festivities, and still secluded in the beautiful mountains. The house is everything I hoped it would be when bringing the family in from 3 different states. We had small busy children with us and the playground was a huge hit. This house is a 10 out of 10. We'll be back.
The property was perfect and the owner and property managers were so helpful. It is a short drive to everything and the views from the property were amazing. Great for large families.
This place is incredible. The owner is one of the most informative and kind people I’ve ever met. Great communication!!! you will absolutely love this place. Thank you so much.
We loved how interesting Cameron House Retreat is! Something interesting to look at, read, play and enjoy at every turn! Owners and manager attentive although we had no issues at all. The “how to” manual answered all of our questions. We enjoyed outings to Helen, Cleveland and Sautee. Hope to come back again.
Could not have asked for a better getaway. Your home was amazing. Very clean and well equipped. The owners were very accommodating and very hospitable. Will definitely be back. Thank you for opening up your home.
Plenty of room for 6 adults and 6 kids to stay while playing in a baseball tournament at Yonah Preserve. Hot tub was great for the kids and adults. Beautiful walk down to the pond and great mountain views from the back porch! Robert and Debbi were VERY good about checking in to make sure everything was ok. Extremely accommodating and helpful throughout our stay. Would definitely stay here again!
We really enjoyed our stay. Owner is attentive, house was as advertised and location was great. The game room is nice, house is big for families to do different things and plenty of porch for everyone.
Staying at Cameron House Retreat for our annual birthday trip with our twin 13-year-old boys and our family friends was an absolutely wonderful experience in every way. The house was so well kept and furnished with every conceivable amenity that it seemed the owners lived there full time and had just left to allow us to stay. Because Helen has so many options for dining, we only cooked one night but had everything we needed. The children enjoyed the hot tub, fishing in the lake, and playing all the games in the game room. There was only one issue, and it is only worth mentioning because the owner had it addressed immediately and came the very next morning to ensure everything was handled. We can’t wait to go back!!!! We love Cameron House Retreat!!!
The Cameron House was great. The house was larger than expected and provided plenty of room for all our family members. The host was great in responding and made sure we had everything we needed. The house is also in a very good location close to Helen and many other attractions. We had a great time. Will stay again!!
I would give this property 10 stars. Great location and not far at all from downtown Helen. Plenty of room if you have multiple families staying with you. My family will definitely be coming to stay here again!
Our little heaven on earthWe were a group of 74 teenage boys and three adult adults enjoying the for holiday. Everything was immaculate. We have one little hiccup with the hot tub and the air pump to pump up the bicycle tires. We contacted the host and they sent a repairman to fix it immediately I was so impressed. They even pumped up the wheels on my wheelchair for me. Everything was clean and spacious and oh so many things to do the kids loved having their own detached playroom with all of the pool tables and chess games and ping-pong and such my 17-year-old grandson and I were sitting on the back porch and I sneezed and he laughed, and he said grandma your sneezes echoed throughout the whole area such a thrill to see the night lights in the sky. You know the natural ones that God created. We will definitely be back again thank you so much for your hospitality and all the beautiful surroundings
The “ rental “ feels like a home. We had everything we could ever want for a few days and more. The beds were so comfortable. The house was super clean. We appreciate not having to buy spices to cook. Love how you can spread out in two different sitting rooms. My 83 year old dad said he couldn’t imagine a better place for our family to have stayed as we said goodbye to a beloved family member. The views from the house are amazing. The privacy … amazing. Beautiful birds, deer, and even caught a couple of fish ( returned them to their homes ). This house is a family house. It was perfect for our family. The house is easy to get to and was centrally located to all of our destinations. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. We would have loved to have our grands, as the property is kid friendly, sadly circumstances didn’t allow. Thank you! We would love to visit again!
This home was so fabulous! Very clean and plenty of room. We loved the furnishings. Beds were very comfortable. We loved the game room! We will definitely return.
We had a wonderful family reunion at this cabin. Room for everyone and the kids really enjoyed the game room. Internet is a little slow, but that is expected in a rural area.
What a great house for our large group. Plenty of room to spread out, great location, beautiful view, GREAT game room, and thoughtful touches. Great for children. It's the total package. We really enjoyed our stay. Robert & Debbi were great hosts & very responsive. We'll be back! :-)

About the host
Hosted by Robert & Debbi Sloane
We are native New Yorkers, born and raised, but have lived in South Florida for the past 20 years, where we work and play and enjoy our family; especially our twin grandchildren who turn 5 this October.
Why they chose this property
Our family vacationed here in 2012 and fell in love with the area, and knew we had to come here again and again. It took some doing, but we finally convinced the previous owners, Carol and Greg Crumley, to sell! Northeast Georgia is called the 'gateway to the mountains'. With balmy days, and cool nights, this home melds both of our worlds, (New York and South Florida), into one. We are very fortunate to be able to share this amazing vacation experience with others.
What makes this property unique
Quiet Seclusion, Spectacular Views, In the heart of Wine Country, close to shopping and all attractions. Appealing to everyone!
