What Our Guests Are Saying

About Our North Georgia Cabins & Retreats

First I want to thank Todd and Jenny. We had a few questions and they responded immediately. It is nice to know if something happens that you can get such quick response. The place is very nice. It is clean but had a few areas that could use some attention. But nothing at all major or unexpected for a cabin. I left the cleaning crew a note as they missed just a very few things. Again no concerns at all about overall cleanliness. We were not that close to AT which is why we came but did make it work. We ended up loving the little town of Helen and would come back to Todd and Jenny’s if we visit the area again. We loved the hot tub too. It is almost mandatory since we are pushing up some steep mountains for hiking. We did bring a couple of beach towels. Robes are provided which is wonderful. I wouldn’t mind a few more hangers but plenty of drawer space. I am just one of those people who hang a lot of my clothes. Definitely worth your consideration for booking.

We had a lovely 3 night stay at the Red Rose cabin. It was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. There were wonderful little touches like a beautiful patio off the back with dimmable string lights, a fire pit table. and large grill. The cabin also had throw blankets, large soft towels, robes, and an awesome coffee bar. We loved the coffee bar and ended up going down the road to purchase the local coffee they provided at the cabin. It was delicious. We also very much enjoyed the soaking tub and comfortable bed and pillows. Wonderful stay. The owners were beyond accommodating and helped us find a place to park our trailer while we were in town visiting. We are so grateful!

Jessie and Anna were the hero’s of our day!! My husband and I were in desperate need of a place to escape to. With our busy schedules and the heaviness of running a business while being parents and trying to squeeze in our time, Anna and Jessie were available to accommodate our last minute requests. Anna also went the extra mile to help us sleep in a little extra with graciously adjusting our checkout time. It’s a rare thing they do which I was hesitant to mention but I had to say they are the best host I’ve ever had an experience with!!
