Wow!

Our stay here has been fantastic! We've had great communication with the host before our arrival and the cabin is very cozy! Our kids enjoyed their stay and have mentioned how much they love it. Its a great location within walking distance to town in Helen and driving distance to beautiful trails! The handbook was useful with directions and had great recommendations for food. Not gonna lie we were a bit confused as to where the lockbox was before we found it and wondered if the lights on the porch were suppose to be on, then again we were probably sleep deprived from the drive. Other than that we greatly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again in the future!

Amazing Location, Short Walk to Downtown

This is a perfect location and just steps from Downtown Helen, Georgia. The hosts are just a message away, and answered all of questions quickly. We appreciate the hospitality. Don’t skip the Mountain Coaster and Hansel and Gretel’s Chocolate Shop. January is quiet (many shops closed) in Helen, we will definitely be headed back to this area in the spring for the full Helen experience.

Good Stay

We enjoyed our stay, location is great. I would’ve like floors and rugs cleaner but that’s me. We found dog hairs on the bed sheets and when I asked for an additional clean set I think that our host got a little offended and that wasn’t my intention as we understood the cabin is pet friendly.

About the host

Hosted by Bonnie Howard

We are from Buffalo NY about a hour south in the country I grew up on a dairy farm. When my son moved down there , we had the opportunity to purchase the cabin next to his rentals for some extra time to get away from home and spend some quality time with family and the grandkids. We are looking forward to spending more time there in our retirement. We enjoy sitting on the porch watching the deer walk down the driveway and listening to the babbling brooke. Having a campfire in the evening with family and friends , they will rent the neighboring cabins next door.
So please enjoy our peaceful cozy Bavarian brooke cabin in the woods.
