Everything was great. The Chalet was perfect for my sister's week. It was very comfortable and homey. The town of Helen, the nearby falls and parks were equally fun and delightful. No complaints. The whole trip was awesome!

A hidden gem

My summary is that this home was perfect for us. Everything we needed was provided. This place is so quiet, all you heard are the birds. You are close to water falls, Helen, Cleveland and the country side if you just want to sightsee.

We loved this chalet! The pictures do not do it justice! The hot tub was huge, the upstairs was adorable and the red heater was spectacular! They provide a packnplay which was perfect because we forgot ours. The communication was above and beyond. We will be coming back next year for sure!

I spent some quality time at this beautiful place. It is maintained very well. The owners are extremely dedicated to providing an excellent experience for their guests. The location, the serenity ... I could go on and on, but suffice it to say that you will not be disappointed!

We had a wonderful stay. Very spacious house in the mountains for my family of 6. Will be back!!

House was very accommodating for our family of 6 and had 5 beds which was great. Kitchen was stocked and easy to cook breakfast and dinners for everyone. Loved the layout of the house, wifi worked great, fireplace was awesome, hottub with perfect!! Only a 15min drive to Helen for daily outings and supply runs. Can't wait to visit Moutain Laurel Chalet in the summer!!

Beautiful and Great Location

The moment you walk in the door you know you are home. It was lovely, clean, welcoming, convenient, and a perfect fit for our sibling weekend. We loved the home and encourage everyone to stay there. it was also really close to all of Helen activities. The drive was simple and short to anything you wanted to do.

Beautiful chalet

We were glad to be away from the Hustle and bustle of Helen at times. Our communications with Steve was spot on. We do believe some of the foliage was overgrown, maybe it is manicured and trimmed back in the spring. The beds were comfortable and it was a pleasant experience

Wonderful Retreat

Cute, quaint little cabin in the woods. With everything you need for a relaxing retreat in the woods with all the comforts of home. Steve is a friendly host, and was quick to respond to accommodate all our needs. We had a comfortable stay, and the hot tub is great after a long day of hiking. Just keep in mind the cabin is a bit off the beaten path so if you're more of a city slicker be advised. But makes for quiet and peaceful get away from reality. Definitely would stay again!

The cabin was great, was amazingly secluded, but within easy driving distance of Helen

The room sizes and layout was wonderful. Owners were a joy to deal with and we are had a great weekend stay. Only two complaints were the automatic lighting mechanism on the grill didn't work and the internet service was slow. But, we should have thought to bring matches, and who would expect fast internet service on the edge of a national forest. We had a great time and would definitely return! Thanks for a wonderful stay!!!

Great visit

The cabin was very comfortable. The owner adds in little things like dishwashing soap, laundry detergent, garbage bags...nice touch. It's close to most things except a decent grocery store so recommend stopping on your way into town. The activities that surround the area are all family friendly...hiking, tubing, zip lining, etc. All fun stuff! The owner was very friendly & easy to work with. We ended up wanting to stay an extra day, didn't want to leave!

Girls Birthday Trip

We enjoyed the home itself, perfect for our girls trip. As for Helen, it is a great place to sightsee and adventure to but do NOT count on getting a restaurant with good service and good food. We ate at 4 different places over the weekend and we only got good service at one and the food was not that wonderful. All in All, we still enjoyed our trip!!

Fantastic home in a great location

We stayed at the Mount Laurel Chalet for 10 days in July 2023. We came to Georgia to hike in the Chattahoochee National Forest and surrounding areas. This home location was ideal for the hiking we had planned. The town of Helen is very close. If you enjoy spending time in a tourist location this is the town. We shopped at Betty’s and ate at the house most of our trip. However, Helen offers many restaurants/bars, there’s tubing in the town as well as other activities. Overall, this was an ideal home for us and we loved the hot tub after a long day of hiking!

Beautiful and rejuvenating vacation spot

From the absolutely gorgeous view, the relaxing and comfortable chalet, to the perks of being close to several natural attractions and the adorable town of Helen, GA, I can not recommend this place enough. Anna Ruby Falls and Unicoi Lake are within 10 minutes driving distance and a must see for rejuvenation and inspiration. I highly suggest going to check out Helen's German artisan shops, but the most important suggestion I can make is just to wake up with a cup of coffee on the balcony upstairs and soak in the wonderful forest sounds. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
