Getaway trip

This property is absolutely amazing! Close to town but secluded and so quiet and relaxing. The creek that wraps around the house is so lovely. Our kids LOVED playing in it. The back porch is the best part! So much family fun and relaxing! 10/10

Awesome!!

This little house was an awesome getaway for my wife and I that we desperately needed! Not only did they have everything we needed but also went out of their way to provide us with propane for the fireplace even out of season. They even had a crock pot we used a couple of times! We lived on the screened in porch lounging, reading, talking and playing games for most of the week, just listening to the waterfalls in the creek. It was so incredibly relaxing!! We would recommend this to anyone interested in a relaxing getaway!!

Beautiful property!

We had the most amazing time! The house is beautifully decorated, new, and had everything we could need. Kids loved the bunks and the s’mores. The sounds of the creek right outside was so relaxing. Very close to downtown Helen too. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful and relaxing!

This is probably our 5th stay here and we absolutely love it. A beautiful home and amazing creek that runs through the property. The screened porch is my favorite for listening to the waterfall and creek. We will be back soon!

Amazing property!!

We were completely happy with this trip. The host, Dana, was super nice and responsive, and met us at check-in to go over any info we needed to know at the house. The house was surprisingly clean and well maintained. It was stocked with plenty of supplies, along with bonuses like smores and snacks. The creek wraps around the house so it was really nice to be able to explore all of that in a pretty private setting. We loved the screened in porch with the sound of the waterfall right outside. There was a bed/swing on the porch that we loved, so now have to get one for our house. :)All in all, we had no complaints and hated to leave. Dana really took care of us, and we'd love to come back soon.
