North Georgia Roots

Overall, our stay was great. The location is close to town. The house had one of the nicest hot tubs that I have ever experienced. there were a couple of things that would have really topped off our experience. It’s always hard to get a good nights sleep away from home, and the mattresses on the beds made it impossible they are completely worn out.
The sofa that faces, the TV in the living room is the same, worn out?

Nice older home with good remodeled baths. Well stocked kitchen and lovely screen porch and living/dining areas. Only complaint were the beds, lumpy with large sunken areas. Very hard to sleep comfortably..

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The rental was clean and well kept, the hot tub was clean and warm when we arrived and the morning view of the critters in the trees while having coffee was great! We would definitely stay here again!

We came from Florida to visit Helen. It’s such a cute little town. The hosie was super clean, relaxing and we felt like we were at home.

The property was not very clean. There were dust bunnies in the closet and there was dirt in the tracks for the windows, and to top it off, there was an envelope for a tip for whoever cleans the property. I found that very ironic, since the property wasn't really clean.

Additionally, the outside lights that lite the stairs up to the property were on a motion detector and the lights didn't stay on nearly long enough and the area that the sensor could detect was very limited. My father is on a walker and needs assistance with stairs. My wife had to stand at the top of the steps and wave her arms to turn the light back on so we could see.

When we arrived the code that I received didn't work which was a bit of a hassle trying to get in touch with someone. When I was on the phone trying to get assistance with the door code, I keyed the numbers in and the gentlemen told I couldn't possibly have keyed 10 numbers in the time I told him I keyed it.

Mike, we are sorry for the property not being up to standards. We have addressed this with the cleaner. Also have contacted owner about motion lights. We always appreciate feedback and will be addressing all items you mentioned. We hope you will give us another chance and come back. We are a great company who cares.

Great. Views from deck was much better than advertised. Very quiet. Driveway was steeper than expected but AWD car got up no problem. Wine was a nice touch!

We love the cabin, and the location is wonderful. The views are just spectacular and there are some really neat touches, such as the carved fireplace mantle. The outside screened porch is awesome, though it was too cold to use during our visit. The provided corn hole game was a great idea! However, there were several small issues: peeling wallpaper, the club chair in the living room is very wobbly, the instructions for the hot tub cover are out of date as the "bar" referenced hasn't been attached to the tub for some time,(it is just hanging there) and there is no "shelf". The tub cover smells of mildew, which could be addressed with some Lysol (we have a tub at home and have the same issue). The rain gutters are packed with debris. While we were there, the fireplace stopped working. Georgia Mountain Rentals addressed this by providing a space heater, which was much appreciated. Does the door code have to be 10 digits long?

We recommend Clyde's Table and Tavern in Cleveland as well as Nacoochee Village Tavern & Pizzeria.

Overall, a great stay and we would consider this cabin again.

Thank you!

Overall the cabin is lovely. Only issue was the streaming services they said were available had been logged into by a prior guest, so we were limited to Hulu only. Normally, this wouldn’t be worth mentioning, but it rained our entire stay, and we had a 7 y/o to keep busy. Also the cover to the hot tub is in need of replacement. The plastic under side of the cover was flaking off into the tub and it took two people to cover/uncover. Those are the only complaints we had. Otherwise, it’s a Lovely cabin that’s nestled just far enough outside of Helen. Convenient to town, but nice and quiet. Would book again.

The cabin was very clean, well stocked and a great location. But.. the steps leading up to cabin are not level and have no handrails so traversing them can be difficult especially if you have stability issues. The beds need new mattresses, they are very uncomfortable and worn out. The firepit was a really nice place to sit in the morning and the hot tub was great. Fix the steps and mattresses and it would be perfect.

Anonymous from Talladega - Posted: 6/18/2023

Thanks for your feedback. The owners have been alerted to the handrail issue. The mattresses are new so I'm surprised to hear that they are uncomfortable.

Georgia Mountain Rentals staff

Loved this cabin nestled in the woods! It had everything needed for a relaxing vacation. You felt far out in the country, yet it was a short drive to anything you needed. Loved the outdoor deck and screened patio! Only negative would be the mattress in the master bedroom has probably seen it’s better days...

The cabin was very clean and cozy. The only disappointment was the absence of a botte of wine from the local wineries. We thoughtthat was complimentary with the rental.

The beds in the house have the most uncomfortable mattresses on them. I would have had less back pain leaving this house than if I had slept on the floor. I’m not exaggerating! The dishes were not clean and had food stuck to them and we couldn’t even hand wash them because there was no sponge or dish soap provided. We had to start the oven to bake left over food off of the cooking trays and the microwave doesn’t work.

This cabin was fantastic, the views, the location, and very relaxing. We got to enjoy Oktoberfest in Helen without having to stay right in the middle of everything. It was close to wineries that we got to tour. I would definitely recommend this cabin.

It's funny to say no words can describe this when that's all you have to use. This location is in the mountains, but you cant see the from this location, however it is a very short drive to see all their glory! That being said, this is not why we booked this trip. We booked it for a get-a-way and THAT is indeed what it offered. WE LOVED IT! IT REALLY DID FEEL LIKE HOME AND IT WAS HARD TO LEAVE WITHOUT FEELING A LITTLE SAD. GREAT PLACE!! GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!

The place was as advertised. Everything was nice and clean and well stocked. There was a nice porch to sit and read, etc. We were looking for a place a little secluded and that was what it was.

Anonymous from Myrtle Beach - Posted: 10/2/2021

The rental was beautifully decorated. The location was good. The disappointments were: There is no cable tv - only televisions for your own streaming services. The hot tub was not clean so we wouldn't use it, and there was no house-manual with instructions for anything. The master bed was very uncomfortable. It's hard with a hump in the middle so I slept on the sofa. The environment was nice, but because of the disappointments, I would not stay in this rental again. We actually left a day early because I have a comfortable bed at home.

Property was less than 5 miles from Helen but far enough away to avoid traffic and enjoy solitude.The cabin was well equipped and roomy. Kids really enjoyed the hot tub which is drained and refilled for each new guest.Will definitely book again.

Pictures were beautiful but upon arrival we quickly encountered cleaning issues (spider webs & live spiders), furniture is not clean and throws are dingy, bathroom was NOT clean and had hair left behind, old dried grease balls came out of the oven upon opening, toilet ran ALL night. Maintenance "supposedly" fixed it but in turn made BOTH toilets run so it was not a peaceful stay. Bed was like sleeping on rocks in the desert! Just NOT what we expected for a weekend getaway. Should have at least gotten the cleaning fee refunded due to poor cleaning and especially during a pandemic! They need to change cleaning services IF they really use one.

The cabin and property was just as it is pictured. It is adequately equipped and clean. It is conveniently located a short distance from Helen as well as other cities, beautiful water falls and places to hike. The rental company regularly checked on us and was always available if needed. We were very satisfied and would highly recommend this cabin.

Our stay was peaceful, rejuvenating, calm, with nature all around us and the pleasant sounds of creatures of the earth. If I were to provide a few recommendations: 1. Make sure the fireplace works from day one, 2. make sure there are covers for the person using the sofa bed, we covered with whatever we could find and our feet where still sticking out. Part of the sheets of one room was provided to form part of the cover. The robes provided were great, but got them a day or two after we arrived, so could not be used the same night of arrival and we needed 5 and only received 4, so one person wrapped themselves in a towel to go outside, since it was chilly. These are not mayor suggestions, but do make a difference when one arrives tired from a long trip. Thanks for the complimentary wine, which we had to ask for, since it was advertised, but none was present when we got there as well. the good thing is that all was ultimately resolved. We will definitely return, but may look for a larger place. We did not enjoy the sofa and would have preferred 3 rooms with bed. Thank you for allowing us to share your beautiful place.

This was the perfect weekend getaway cabin. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. It was very clean, cozy, and accommodating. The hot tub was a welcomed treat! We arrived after a hurricane with much of the power out in the area; the customer service navigating this was greatly appreciated. The cabin had all the comforts of home and all the accommodations that were detailed in the listing. We were surprised by the great location - private yet close to town.

4 adults getting away for the weekend to hike and visit Helen. The house was clean and as it looks in the pictures. We didn't experience any musty smell as described by a previous guest. The hot tub was very clean and we very much enjoyed the fire pit. The only downside is the kitchen is a little small for even 2 adults to be in at the same time, but otherwise, the house is comfortable.

Overall this is a clean, comfortable cabin. Close to the road with great road access. My only complaint is the steps on the side entering the cabin. These were not shown in the photos. They are too difficult for old folks with bad knees and have no hand rails. A ramp would make access much easier.

This house is in a quiet area outside of town. Location was pretty good in respect to the items we had on our agenda. The house itself was a little outdated, but not terrible and the only real complaint was the fridge didn’t stay very cold. Hot tub was nice and screened in porch was a must because the bugs were plentiful!

The house was nice and the location was private but still close to Helen. The only real complaint was that the hot tub was at bath water temp when we arrived. This is intentional as the check out instructions ask you to turn down the temp. I get the need to save on utilities, but it ruined one of the two nights we had for hot tub use.
