About this property
Welcome to the Red Star Lodge near Helen, Georgia, a friends and family retreat!
(Please note that due to an Artificial Intelligence issue which we cannot seem to remove it mistakenly says we have Ski In & Out and a playground. We do not have either.)
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, our spacious mountain home, Red Star Lodge, is your home away from home. Red Star Lodge is only 15 minutes from Helen and 90 minutes from Atlanta, secluded but close to everything.
Enjoy the hustle and bustle of town, or visit the many wineries in the area. Relax with friends and family in a mountain retreat that is modern but rustic, spacious but cozy. The cook's kitchen seats 10 for those nights you want to stay in and the firepit area features a large gas grill. The house sleeps up to 10.
The two master suites have ensuite bathrooms. The loft master suite has a queen bed, an LCD TV, a private balcony, a whirlpool tub and separate shower. The main floor master features a king bed and wall mounted LCD TV with a full bath and laundry room. The lower level bedroom has two full beds and the living area features a queen sleeper sofa. A full bath services the lower level. All bathrooms have upgraded amenities provided.
The two great rooms on both floors feature floor to ceiling gas log fireplaces and LCD TVs. The lower level great room has a kitchenette with bar seating and a dining table. The game room features arcade and tabletop games, with PacMan, ping pong, air hockey and more. Enjoy the 6 person hot tub and watch the deer gather on the lawn below. Hi speed WiFi throughout the house keeps you connected. Visit https://helenga.org/to see many things to do nearby.
At the end of the day relax in the rocking chairs on the upper deck while twilight sets on Mount Yonah. Two gas fireplaces are available starting October15th through the end of March. Please note that the 4th bedroom is a super comfortable sofa bed in the downstairs living room. (Owner tested and approved! - no bars.) Make memories for years to come.

About the host
Hosted by Christie Campbell and Donald Mularz
Don and I are South Floridians who love the mountains of Georgia which will someday be our permanent home. We have hosted our guest cottage in Florida - 280 square feet - and it was such a great experience! Now we have our 3500 square foot mountain cabin that came with a wonderful 10 year 5 star VRBO rating. We are carrying the torch forward from the gracious previous owners. I am a frequent business traveler and have stayed in many short term rentals over the years. It has made me appreciate what a well stocked home provides in terms of comfort and convenience while on vacation or business. We have made sure that you have everything you need - and more than you expect -to have an enjoyable and comfortable stay.
Why they chose this property
The cabin is located in a lovely quiet neighborhood ten minutes from Helen and 20 minutes from Clarkesville. There are paved roads all the way in and you do not need a 4 wheel drive. We are surrounded by woods but have a beautiful lawn in the front where you will see the occasional deer, bunnies and birds. Wildlife abounds in the mountains. In the winter there is a great view of Yonah Mountain. It is a very family friendly house, secluded yet convenient.
What makes this property unique
We looked at many properties before we purchased Red Star Lodge. We fell in love with the large rooms and layout, the spacious dining area and the open floor plan on all levels compared to other properties that had small rooms and challenging access. We have year round great light on the sunporch. You can always see the sky here. We are close to all that Helen has to offer without the hustle and bustle of staying in town. Peace and quiet reigns.
