Great place to stay
We enjoyed staying here very much. The set up is great with 2 master bedrooms upstairs and a bedroom/hangout/kids area downstairs. We have never stayed at a more well stocked VRBO. The outdoor space is very enjoyable (fire pit, grill and hot tub). The road to get there is fairly steep/curvy one car road but that's about what you get to stay on a mountain. It's very close to unicoi (went hiking and swimming) and downtown Helen. Owners easy to communicate with. Would 100% stay here again!

Southern Skies Chalet
Beautiful Chalet, serene setting with amazing view from the deck. All considered, this was a wonderful bargain in a rental chalet. Has privacy and space for three couples and all the amenities you can ask for. We will be back.

Perfect relaxing stay
This cabin was a perfect family home with two floor plans. The patio views are gorgeous & so relaxing in the mornings while drinking coffee and in the evenings to sit and watch the sunset. As a family we had breakfast and dinner upstairs together, played board games/arcade games downstairs and made smores outside in the evening! We had the perfect amount of space and quality time together. Would definitely book again!!

Perfect For Families
ATTENTION PARENTS WITH KIDS! Love going on vacation but hate having to go to sleep when you put the kids down? If so, this is the perfect Helen cabin for you! Love the idea of a cabin in the mountains but afraid the kids won’t have a flat space outside to run around? If so, this is the perfect Helen cabin for you! Two bedrooms upstairs for the kids…and a whole suite down below equipped with a mini kitchen, fridge, and freezer for the parents. Do it your way, but this worked best for us with a 6yo and 3yo and allowed us to spend time together without whispering and tip-toeing. Both the front and back yard have a decent amount of flat ground to allow the kids to run around without fear of tumbling down a hill. The owners were AWESOME. They’ve thought of everything! My wife could not get over how thorough their first aid kit was. Arcade game and hot tub were a hit! The cabin was incredibly clean. My wife is a neat-freak and didn’t feel the need to lift a finger when we got there. This will be our vacation spot for years to come…not necessarily because of how much we love Helen and the surrounding areas/towns, but because of how perfect this house suits what we are looking for in a vacation rental. I’ve spent time trying to think of a negative about this home but can’t come up with anything. Beautiful view of the mountains both day and night and we had deer in the yard on our last day there. Not to mention you get to downtown Helen in 10 minutes or less. LOVED THIS HOME!

Beautiful Home!
Beautiful home with everything and more! Beds were comfy, kitchen fully equipped and then some, lots to do with games, pool table, fire-pit, hot tub, or just relax. Plenty of room for everyone. Split floor plan was great for multiple families and friends. Close to everything. Absolutely loved it and great value for your money.

Fantastic Place!
We took my parents and 3 young kids for a long weekend stay at Southern Skies Chalet. The house was even better than in the pictures. The kitchen is well stocked with quality and clean items. We cooked a lot and it had everything we needed, even sharp knives, which is rare in rentals! The place was very clean and everything is either new or very well maintained. The hot tub and fire pit were fantastic, and the lights around them can be changed to different colors, which my kids loved. The arcade game and pool table were great entertainment for kids and adults. There were plenty of towels and blankets and extra towels just for the hot tub. The location was very private and had a great view. It's about a 10 min drive into Helen. I highly recommend this place. The entire trip we were commenting on how well thought out things were. The owner was great with providing information and even sent a video on how to use certain items in the house. We will certainly return in the future!
