It was beautiful, peaceful, and quiet! If you are looking for a place to stay that is close to Helen but not right on the strip, this would be the place to go!! It isn't a big chain hotel, so there aren't people running up and down the hallways. We really enjoyed it and will definitely be back!!

The stay was absolutely amazing. We checked in with no problems. Our cabin was so cute and cozy. The bed was super comfortable and loved having the fireplace in the evenings. We were able to have our dog there with us. We had a wine tasting with Lucy on property that was wonderful. Just a 10 minute drive to a Helen and many outdoor hiking opportunities. We will definitely stay again.

The cabin smelled clean and looked clean. Everything was decorated so well. The staff was amazing, friendly and on-top of everything. We loved everything about our stay. We only wish we could have stayed longer so we could have explored the property more. We will most definitely be back!

This is a beautiful property! The accommodations were clean and very comfortable. Things were calm and quiet. I liked the ease of access and check-in with the door code system. We enjoyed the heart-shaped hot tub. As an amateur naturalist, I noticed and especially enjoyed the historical botanical prints on the walls - that was a special little detail, and I and would love to know more of the story about these prints.

The owners of the property were responsive and helpful, and their check in instructions were easy. We weren't aware of the $80 resort fee and wish that had been clearer. Finding the cabin was easy, but be prepared for a tight turn and steep hill. The cabin itself was beautiful and the closed porch was great for our dog to hang out on. There's not much of a view, but it wasn't what we were going for. The biggest downside was the beds - they were not comfortable and left my back sore. Overall, it was pretty, convenient to Helen, and within our budget.

It was wonderful, I will say Expedia advertises this property as sound proof room and that is not true at all, the property also stated that this is incorrect so we mentioned for the property manager to have kayak and Expedia fix this as this was the reason it was booked due to our dogs. It changed up our trip since we couldn’t go off and explore unless we took our dogs (they bark) The place was clean and the staff was really kind. The bed was amazing!! We got to enjoy the jacuzzi tub in our room, except it drained the whole time but it was still wonderful! Very close to Yonah and the town of Helen which you must check out!

First off I'll state that the room was actually very clean very comfortable but I rented a king size bed and end up with a double no big deal it happens sometimes but my main concern is the wine tasting was not available because they was no staff the restaurant nor bar was open because it wasn't any staff so when I went to rent this for me and my wife to spend the weekend that was a big plus for me because we enjoy those type of stays
