Dog-Friendly Blue Ridge GA Cabin|Mtn Views|Hot tub

CourtneyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Nothing but great things to say! Our host was super nice and responded quickly when we needed to communicate! The cabin is on the side of a mountain so you get beautiful views! With that being said I wouldn’t recommend driving at night if not used to driving mountain roads and the description of the road is accurate it’s a one way with some pull off areas for traversing. You don’t have to have 4 wheel drive during non winter season but there are people with cars that live there but we wouldn’t have felt comfortable to do that. The stairs to go up to the master bedroom are steep as she said but they have a non slip grip tape on each step and there are gates at every level for children/pets. The hot tub was so nice and was already up and running when we arrived. There were towels, dishes, some condiments, and a decent amount of kitchen utensils and such. Downtown blue ridge and ellijay are both pet friendly places! Amicalola state park is beautiful with an easy hike to the waterfall.

Charming 1940's Craftsman

VictoriaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Cathy was a superlative host. She made me feel right at home while also giving clear instructions regarding check-in and check-out. The farmhouse is commodious and comfortable. I especially appreciated the big kitchen, outdoor space, and abundance of linens! My family and I had a wonderful time here and will surely stay again if/when we return to lovely Blairsville.

Granddaddy’s Farmhouse 1/2 mile from lake Chatuge

CaedanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This house was a perfect mountain getaway! The listing is far enough away from town that you can enjoy your morning coffee on the front porch, listening to the rooster and cows across the road, but it is close enough to amenities that you can easily pick up dinner or get groceries in Hiwassee quickly. Helen is only about 30 minutes away if you want to tube down the river or enjoy some German cuisine too! The house was very clean and the house rules were easy and reasonable. Amanda did a great job communicating check-in procedures and quickly answered questions we had before our trip. If you're looking for a cozy home away from home in the North Georgia mountains, I would recommend staying at Granddaddy's Farmhouse. We're already planning our next trip!

Tree House Retreat close to Helen with Game Room!

DavidRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This mountain cabin rental was exactly as advertised. The description and photos matched the actual property. Brittany was terrific to deal with and was proactive in providing us with needed information in advance. This was a fun place to stay, and the lower level with pool, darts, other games, etc. was a nice way to spend a rainy evening. This was a good value and fair price for the property. Highly recommended.

Mill Creek Cottage w/ great view, no cleaning fee

SusannaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Staying at Mill Creek Cottage was much like visiting a beloved friend’s house. We’ve stayed in some Airbnbs that were almost antiseptic and boring. Not Joan’s place! It was wonderful and quirky and comfortable - and had absolutely everything we needed. We spent five days hiking, grilling out, playing games, and just sitting on the deck watching the birds and enjoying the mountain air. If we ever head back to Hayesville I will check to see if this cottage is available!

Dreamy Cabin near Helen -Hot Tub!

IsaiahRating, 5 stars1 week ago
this is the first time I've ever booked an Airbnb and I, without a doubt, can say that this 2 night stay was the best experience for me and my partner's 5 year anniversary. the Odalys were extremely clear with instructions and were VERY kind and always willing to help. I once messaged them at 12 am and expected not to get a response until tomorrow but I got one 1 hour later! this is 1000% worth every penny. I ABSOLUTELY will be booking the Odaly's other properties in the future. THANK YOU

Cabin on the Creek at Moody Hollow

RobertRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at the Cabin on the Creek celebrating our 39th wedding anniversary. The cabin was as advertised, the creek was better! Chris had everything we could possibly need in the cabin, far more than other places we’ve visited. His response time to questions and advice was superior! We’ll definitely be back, and I hope soon!!

Quartermoon Cabin At The Mountain Shire

LaraRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
My mom and I truly enjoyed our stay at Quartermoon Cabin. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we were transported to a mystical retreat straight out of the '70s. The atmosphere was peaceful, relaxing, and full of charm. You can really feel the love and care that Jessie and her family have put into this space—every detail in the decor, along with their personal artwork, adds to the cabin’s magical and welcoming vibe. It’s clear this is more than just a rental; it’s a labor of love. We can’t wait to come back.

Bedroom 4 of Denton Hostel

JasmineRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Great place for the price, everything was super clean. I usually expect a kitchen at a hostel, so just be aware there is only a microwave and a mini fridge and a coffee maker. It’s next-door to a gun shop, so don’t be alarmed if you hear a gunshot! We only heard one in four days. The bed in our first room was broken, but they were very responsive and immediately moved us to a different room.

Your guide to Helen

Introduction

In the 1960s, a group of enterprising residents transformed this then-struggling mill town in the Blue Ridge Mountains into a traditional Alpine-inspired village in a bid to attract visitors. It paid off. Today, the unexpected mix of sights—fairytale buildings and cobblestone paths, artisan pottery studios and Bavarian-style beer gardens—has helped make Helen one of the state’s most-visited towns. Its prime location doesn’t hurt, either: It’s within easy reach of north Georgia’s wine country and untouched wilderness. Hike to nearby waterfalls, shoot across Unicoi State Park on a zipline, or just tube through town on the Chattahoochee River before breaking for beers and brats, or returning to cozy up in your cabin rental.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Helen

Helen’s mild climate makes it a year-round getaway. Expect highs in the 60-and 70-degree (Fahrenheit) range in the spring and fall, 80s in the summer, and 50s in the winter. Whatever time of year you visit, pack a jacket as evenings can dip in temperature, and an umbrella for surprise (though typically brief) rain showers, along with appropriate outdoor shoes and gear.


Top things to do in Helen

Anna Ruby Falls

Reachable by a half-mile-long paved path in the Chattahoochee National Forest, this pair of waterfalls delivers a thunderous payoff without a lot of sweat. From the waterfalls, take the interpretive Lion’s Eye Trail to learn about the park’s ecosystem (the path is fully accessible, with signs also in braille), or try the more challenging Smith Creek Trail (9 miles roundtrip). Parking is limited near the entry to the falls, so try to arrive by the park’s opening at 10 a.m. during the peak season.

Chattahoochee River

From May to September, floating down the river in an inner tube (aka “shooting the Hooch”) is a peak Helen experience. Local outfitters rent inner tubes and offer pickup and dropoff services for a float that lasts 1 to 2.5 hours.

Sautee Nacoochee Center

This 8.5-acre cultural center gives you a full picture of Helen’s past, with galleries and sites dedicated to local Native and African American history, folk pottery, and gold mining. Or take a deep, restorative breath in the Native Peace garden.
