Alpine Retreat

This two-story luxury home has so much comfort and character, you and your party may never want to leave! This forest villa hosts lots of modern amenities that you're going to love, from the jetted tub to the game room and pool table. Enjoy that first-morning coffee out on the spacious deck overlooking the neighboring golf course then put the full kitchen to use to cook up a big mess of pancakes for friends and family. The large living area provides all the space and seating you'll need for movie night on the flatscreen TV, and the upstairs loft is just the place to get in a good book by yourself. After a day of exploring the Helen area, take a dip in the private hot tub to relax those tired limbs. And since this home is dog-friendly, even your canine companions are welcome to join in on the fun!

Family Vacation

My siblings and their families met at Alpine Retreat for a family vacation. We had such a good time. The house was perfect for this. Plenty of room for everyone both together and for time apart. We hope to come back again! You won't be sorry choosing Alpine Retreat.

Beautiful home perfect for large families

The house is beautiful and the location is perfect. We loved having a pool table to play on and for everyone to have their own space. Our only issue was that the hot tub didn't work properly and this was one of the reasons we booked this house. We would absolutely stay here again if they got the hot tub fixed.

Fantastic spacious house. Great location in Helen.

We had a great, brief stay here in Helen! The house is very comfortable and well maintained. It was very clean. Would stay again for sure! We didn’t receive the docusign document for gate access. We had to reach out to Vacasa to get that after arrival. You cannot get gate passes /access without completing that. Other than that hiccup, our stay was fantastic!

We loved the view and the all around deck. Cabin layout nice, plenty of space. Didn't feel we were on top of each other. TV's had lots of options for watching different shows. We had a very nice time.

Quiet and convenient

The house is beautiful and spacious, just as pictured. We had three families (six adults and three children) and there was plenty of room to spread out across the three floors of the house. The deck was perfect for spending time together, and I was surprised by how quiet the neighborhood was. The neighboring houses are spread out, which made it feel very relaxed and private. This was extremely convenient to downtown Helen and we really enjoyed our stay.

Family Reunion

Big house, we had 12 people for a family reunion. Lots of room, nice decks for sitting outside and reminiscing. Very nice area, pretty subdivision. Close to town and Cleveland GA. (Nearest Walmart! LOL) Only big negatives are weak WIFI signal (hard to watch TV) and seems water heater may not be large enough (we ran out of hot water during showers.) Overall, we give it a 9 out of 10.

Beautiful cabin, great views!!!

An amazing place to relax and have great fun. From the minute we pulled into driveway and parked we were smiling. The place is perfect. The inside much bigger than we thought!! The decor is perfect and well "loved". Couches were comfy, beds great, and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking!! Everyone from 10-47 found common ground at the poker table. I can’t remember the last time we had so much fun as a family. We’re already trying to decide the best time to come back! Thank you for an amazing place with so much character to enjoy!!!

Read the fine print.

House was a great layout for our extended family especially for teens to have the downstairs. Internet was pretty spotty. Saw a few roaches. Generous in allowing up to four dogs. Close to downtown but steep roads to house. Pool is hard to find. If you decide to bring fewer pets be sure to tell them BEFORE you check out if you want to be reimbursed. We didn’t know that so they won’t reimburse. Maybe bring your own pillows.
