Semvhu U.

Liked: Location
Pros: The location was private and away from crowded locations; it was nice to be squirreled away in the woods and not in downtown Helen having to listen to the car club revving up and down the main strip all night long. It was very clean. The interior was decorated nicely. It was very quiet at night. Cons: We discovered issues with the side door locking mechanism our second night. The wiring at one outlet did not appear to meet proper safety standards. It was a bit small, but for one couple it was fine. It was a bit obvious that it's an older house that's been fixed up.Georgia Mountain Rentals: We were not comfortable staying our last night after discovering the issue with the side door not being secure. They looked at the pictures I sent them and quickly reimbursed us for the final night. They were very nice on the phone and very helpful with our problem with the cabin.Summary: The cabin was fine, and the cons honestly weren't bad save the unsecure side door. If the door had an installed lock and a locking bar that worked, we would not have left early. It was nice for the price and was in a good location away from downtown Helen.

We had an amazing time at the cabin. Everything was perfect and clean. They have a dog gate around the porch , left treats and pup shampoo for us also. We were early and able to check in with the help of Stephanie. The cabin is probably 5 minutes from Unicoi for hiking and not even 10 from Helen.

The cabin was so welcoming. We were greeted nu outside Christmas lights. When we opened the door ot was a Christmas womderland. Tastefully decorated and such a warm cozy feeling. The fireplace was mice since it was quite chilly on day. Our cabin was private amd and pet friendly which was great. The only reason i knocked off a star is we had difficulty with the hot tub. It was such a wonderful time. Thanks for making our Thanksgiving special.
