A little piece of heaven

My husband and I needed a getaway and selected this beautiful and tranquil home. The deck with bed swing as well as the creek flowing peacefully along was absolutely what we needed to decompress and rest. The home is immaculately clean and tastefully decorated. Dana was the perfect host who was helpful and kind.

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!!

Everything is perfect about this property from the farmhouse decor, special touches and location. Did I mention the screened-in porch? Or the waterfall steps from the porch? We’ll be back.

A little slice of Heaven

Pictures do not do this property justice. It's quaint and very well kept with a peaceful creek next to the screened in porch. We spent most of our time out there. Perfect area to catch the game or read a book. Located about 4 minutes from downtown Helen, the location couldn't be better. The house has everything you need with added bonuses that the owner supplies to make your stay even better. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Helen.

Amazing!

To capture this in pictures would be challenging. A beautiful cabin nestled on a beautiful property. Sitting on the porch, you can enjoy the creek and waterfalls sounds. The side porch with fireplace is cozy and relaxing. The house is clean and smells lovely. The driveway was easy to navigate compared to others in the area. Very close to the main downtown area.

Amazing!!

The house & property are absolutely beautiful! Sitting out on the screen porch listening to the stream/falls beside us was our favorite part! So relaxing! The owner is so nice & easy to get in touch with. The house was ready, so she text us to see if we wanted to check in early. She met us at the house to personally welcome us, give us a tour & answer any questions. We will definitely be going back & hope to stay longer next time!

Amazing Place! Amazing Guest Host!

This was our first trip with this company and boy were we treated like royalty! Dana our guest host was amazing! She went above and beyond with anything we needed. She created us at check in there were snacks and refreshments she even had s’more supplies ready a a long for the fire pit! Her attention to detail in the home was amazing she had thought of everything you might need or want. Check in and check out was a breeze. The only thing I wish I had done was booked for a longer stay!!!!! It was amazing.

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.

Magical stay! This cottage is A+++

My daughter and I visited in March and loved it so much that I had to make sure I left a glowing review. The owners are amazing and met us for check in. You can feel the love poured into this home the minute you walk in the door. It was very quiet but I still felt safe. It was a perfect location to visit Helen. There is no scary mountain road or steep uphill driveway like places I have stayed before in north GA. My daughter was enthralled with the creek and played for hours. It was peaceful and relaxing! The cabin is beautifully decorated and set up with details like snacks and stuff for s’mores. Can’t wait for a return visit!

The house is perfect, especially for a couple’s getaway. It’s on a beautiful treed lot with the sounds of water running in the creeks, which makes for such a peaceful place. It’s tucked away, yet very close to down town. The best part is the awesome screened in porch with a fire place, couch, and swing, You may never want to leave!

Tranquility

This is a beautiful property. The enclosed patio, with a swing bed was so comfy, and the sound of the creek/waterfall makes it even more relaxing. The house itself is spacious, beautifully decorated and is well stocked.We didn't venture too far away, but the location was convenient to the quaint German themed downtown area. While we didn't get to meet Dana, accessing the house was easy and she provided a great video regarding the property and its amenities. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to truly relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.Highly recommend Hootenanny!
