Secluded Log Cabin on creek; near Helen, Anna Ruby Falls and Unicoi

This privately owned, family mountain retreat is tucked away between historic Nacoochee Valley and Unicoi State Park – convenient to Helen, Unicoi State Park, Clarkesville, and Cleveland.

A great weekend away

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. We met the owner on arrival who graciously provided us with a tour of the property. The cabin was cute, clean and well maintained. It was the perfect distance to Helen, Unicoi and all the area attractions. We look forward to visiting again.

Secluded and relaxing

We loved our stay at the secluded cabin in Sautee Nacoochee. It was close enough to Helen, fishing holes, and hiking yet far enough outside all of the hustle and bustle. The cabin was nice and quiet. Don was wonderful to work with and showed us how to work the thermostat. We’d love to visit again.

Cozy Secluded Cabin

The cabin was exactly like the listing and the host was very kind. It was in fact more secluded then we had thought but only about 10 minutes or so from helen. The cabin was very clean and had kitchen supplies as well as all mentioned items in the listing. We will book this listing again.againbook this listing again

Perfect vacation spot

We had a wonderful experience staying at this cabin. The location right on the creek was absolutely beautiful. Sitting on the front porch swing, listening to the creek, and watching the fireflies made for the perfect relaxing getaway. It was very close to Helen and many nice hiking spots like Anna Ruby Falls, Unicoi, and Moccasin Creek State Park. We loved being able to bring our dogs along too! The hosts are so sweet and welcoming! We will definitely be back!

Perfect getaway

The cabin was perfect for a weekend getaway for me and my dog. Quiet and peaceful. Cabin was very clean, comfortable, and had everything needed. Cell phone service (GoogleFI/T-mobile) doesn't work at the cabin, but was able to get signal a few miles away for checking in.

Perfect for our weekend trip

Great experience from the time of check in where Don met is and showed us around. Cabin was perfect for us and our puppy. Great location that was close to all our activities. It is decorated well, clean and comfortable. The feeling of seclusion and privacy and creek wrapping around the cabin made it extra nice.

Quiet Getaway

No one else to be seen. Loved being able to sit and listen to the creek. Had fun wading it in too. Very much a getaway but close enough to drive if we wanted to go do things. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely and private

This lovely cabin was perfect for our relaxing weekend. On a private, gravel road with a “gatekeeper” water crossing best suited to higher clearance vehicles like SUVs or trucks, the property is unique. The stream is just outside the door, with the sound of the water to lull one to sleep at night. The cabin was exquisitely clean and comfortable, and the host Don was friendly and helpful. We look forward to returning to this cabin at our next opportunity.

FABULOUS Getaway!!!

We were in search of a peaceful place for one last family getaway before leaving our son at Georgia Tech. We LOVED the serenity we found tucked away in this cabin. Don met us when we arrived and made sure we were comfortable. We were secluded but only 5 miles from Helen, Unicoi National Park, and Anna Ruby Falls. I HIGHLY recommend this cabin for your next get away!

Waterfront tranquil and secluded stay

The property sits right along the edge of the creek, and it is literally steps away from the front door. The tranquility of and ease of access to the creek were definitely key features, our dog and teenager loved it! Although only 15 min from Helen, you truly feel like you are deep in the wildness here. I didn't get get phone service but the internet connection was great and worked well. The house was very clean and Don and Brenda were very gracious hosts. They were helpful with directions and and made sure we were happy with the amenities provided at check in. I would absolutely stay here again if I was in the area.

Cabin in Sautee

The cabin was located in a good geographical location. Close to many attractions. Loved the creek. The cabin itself needs some upgrades. The beds and furniture are old. It had a strong musty smell. Needs trees and shrubbery trimmed back badly. No sunshine could get into the Cabin. No yard or outside area to enjoy around the cabin. Friendly owners. Price wasn’t too bad. Glad we could bring both dogs. Suggestion to owner. Wouldn’t bring your dogs to the area where the guests dogs are. Owners German Shepherds not very accepting at all to other dogs.

Perfect get away!

What a perfect spot tucked away in the woods. So serene to sit on the porch with the creek just feet away and nothing but the sounds of nature. The creek also lulled me to sleep at night. Also did not have to use any bug spray, seemed blessedly free of mosquitos. The beds were comfy and it's a short drive away from anything you may want to see or do. Don was a great host and helpful with anything we needed, although we did not need for much. I would absolutely come back!

Comfortable and quiet

The cabin was very comfortable (bed was pretty soft) and had most of what we needed. If you’re a wine drinker, bring your own glasses unless you don’t mind drinking out of juice glasses. The property was close to everything and the drive in is beautiful. The creek was wonderful and like others have said, having coffee on the porch was a nice time to reflect and enjoy the outdoors. Thanks Don and Brenda

Great hidden spot close to Helen.

This cabin was so clean upon arrival! I loved that we could bring our fur baby along with us and this cabin had everything we could have needed! There was even a chistmas tree which my kids loved! I used the Waze app from the Sautee Store and that gave us perfect directions along with the written ones! If you use the app from the north side of Helen tho it will direct you through someone’s property so id advise just putting in the Sautee store first then the cabin!

Very serene!!

Cabin was spotless and the creek sound is so soothing! One thing I was beguiled by was that the owner is the only one who can adjust the thermostat??? I have never stayed anywhere, not even a hotel room that I had to call someone to make it warmer or cooler. That was a huge drawback to me. 1/2 of the lamps didn’t come on inside the cabin but the spotlight on the stairs outside are very bright and wonderful for an early dog walk. Love the cabin but not sure we will stay again because of the thermostat deal. Adorable cabin
