The property was amazing. I was really impressed with the cabin. It was nice and big enough for our group. The fishing wasn't what I hoped for, but the amenities were nice. The stairs to the river were gone, but it wasn't enough to make me not want to stay there again. I know things have to be replaced from time to time. There was not a tub in the main level bathroom as it said online, but it was still nice.

This is a beautiful property. We had a great time fishing in the Chatahoochee and relaxing by the fire. The quiet was amazing. When the kids had enough, it was off to the game room with air hockey, pool, table tennis, and many many other games as well as a good selection of board games and card games. About 15 minutes from Helen. We will definitely be back!

Love the property location. A little under 20 minutes to the attractions of Helen, yet very private and remote. Loved being away from it all, but in reality a short distance to wherever we were going.

We had a problem with the stove and a new one was brought out and installed promptly. Communication was great! I had unknowingly called the owners personal phone and I never would have known it. She was so nice and helpful and never eluded to the fact that I called her personal number that was accidentally listed on the fridge. Sheila followed up to make sure the new stove was working properly.
Property
The stay was great. The only
Thing I would suggest is having some chairs by the fire pit. We loved the space and having plenty of sleeping spaces. We loved having coffee by the river in the mornings.
