Beautiful Cabin

This was such beautiful and relaxing stay! Reading in the hot tub, watching movies in the cozy den, and walking to town for dinner made this such a restful trip.

Great location and view of town

We loved the location, the hot tub and the property. Our only con that prevented a 5 star rating was how steep the driveway is. It’s very hard to turn around and hard to walk up.

Beautiful stay, great location

We had a beautiful stay! Nice view of Helen, the mountains and trees. Jacuzzi is on the front porch and was very nice. I would just give a heads up to anyone with cars low to the ground - the driveway up is very steep and initially getting on it made my Rav-4s tires spin for a moment every time until it straightened out going up. Not sure if that could provide issues for a 2 wheel drive vehicle. Also, it's a steep walk up/down so anyone who can't walk steep hills should keep that in mind. Cabin was a perfect stay for us, we just walked downtown and back to avoid the Oktoberfest traffic!

Not for the elderly or weak

This place is not for the elderly unless their in great shape. Downstairs is the kitchen, dining room and 1 bedroom. Upstairs is the living room with a small refrigerator and coffee pot and 2nd bedroom. The pictures of the living room on the website are not what’s there. It is just 2 sofas and no end table or coffee table to set your drinks on. I called when we arrived to see if they could bring us some end tables or something to put drinks and etc on. I was told they didn’t have anything. My husband and I went to Ace and purchased 2 folding tables for $19.00 each. For the money you spend for this rental, you would think they would have offered to do that. My 84 year old mother had a hard time going up and downstairs if she wanted something to eat. We checked out a day early due to this. I was also surprised they didn’t have the amenities all other rentals we have been to like an ice maker or a washer and dryer.

Nice cabin

Nice and quiet cabin nestled in the woods. Great location. Amenities are fine, wish they had a washer and dryer. I would recommend adding a pillow topper or buying a new mattress for the downstairs bedroom.

Small getaway

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this little cabin. It was peaceful and the view of Helen was beautiful, especially at night. The hot air balloon festival was a pleasant surprise! Make sure someone knows how to drive up a very steep incline to get up driveway.

Nice & Convenient

We enjoyed our stay at this property and it was certainly close to the town without having to stay on the strip. The vertical driveway was a little scary but we acclimated. Fun town and great long weekend!

ATR is a very nice cabin that is well maintained and clean. While it is close to the strip in Helen, it was quiet and peaceful. Like many mountain cabins, the driveway is a little steep.

First time in Helen

This is a great place to stay and we will return. Some reviews stated the drive was steep but we had no problem even in the rain. We rented a golf cart and it was very easy to go up the drive. When we return and have multiple vehicles we will leave them parted at the bottom and use a golf cart to bring everything to the cabin. It was very relaxing being in the hot tub and looking over the town. We will return with friends.
