Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

With beautiful mountain views, a well-appointed screened-in deck, private hot tub, and outdoor firepit, this dog-friendly cabin offers the perfect escape nestled in the forests of the Appalachian Mountains.

This home is on the edge of the Chattahoochee National Forest, putting you right by great hiking, water sports, and more. The nearby Bavarian alpine village of Helen offers nearby amenities, restaurants, and shopping as well.

This inviting two-story, Sautee Nacoochee home features beautiful rock details and wood accents, creating a rustic and welcoming vibe. The comfortable living room has leather furniture, a wood-burning fireplace, and amazing floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the forest.

Next to the living area, there’s a dining space with seating for six where you can enjoy lovely group meals. In the fully equipped kitchen, you’ll have stainless steel appliances and a convenient dishwasher for easy cleanup.

Head outside for even more luxury - on the screened-in porch, there’s a gas grill and another table set for alfresco dining. Take a relaxing soak in the private hot tub, complete with LED non-heating fireplace to set the tone. For s’mores and campfire fun, there’s also a firepit in the front yard.

With two stylish master suites and two full bathrooms, this home will sleep up to six guests, plus a family dog for a small nightly pet fee. Each master suite has a king-size bed with a rustic log bed frame and an updated bath. There’s also a futon for additional sleeping options.

On the second story, a lofted space features a pool table that overlooks the living room, where you can enjoy a nice game of billiards inside. In the living room, sit back in front of the large flatscreen TV with DVD player or hop on the complimentary WiFi.

When you’re ready to explore the area, the beautiful Unicoi Lake and State Park is just two miles away for fishing, hiking, bird watching, and boating. You’ll also be on the edge of the Chattahoochee National Forest for lots of hiking, rafting, tubing or even ziplining through the trees. For amenities, nearby downtown Helen offers delicious Bavarian-inspired cuisine and more.

Enjoy a luxurious forest escape at this beautiful cabin - book your trip today!

this place is very deceitful

we got ready to go to bed and realize there were hairs all on the sheets. The next morning we open the pantry and roaches are running around the hot tub had a huge hairball floating around it. The roof leaks on the back porch so you would get wet if you were going to grill or if you were sitting in the hot tub, the bathtub was completely dirty and one bathroom the front of the house the woodpeckers have packed large holes into it. The driveway is not maintained a tree grows over the driveway, allowing a green fungus to build up on the driveway. My wife slipped and fell in it. The pool table is absolutely trash , it’s unlevel holes in the felt it needs a lot of updating and maintenance done while we were there the grass had not been cut

Cabin in the Trees

Had a relaxing week-long stay in this cabin, literally “amongst the trees” in northern GA. Very quiet neighborhood, enough things to see and do such as hikes to waterfalls, tubing, mini golf & mountain coaster rides. Very secluded location.

Perfect Stay!

I absolutely love this location! I want to gate keep it bc it was very affordable and simply perfect. I particularly like the notes the owner has left explaining how to do certain things like turn on the shower (not as easy as one would think!) and how to work the dryer. Again - it was perfect!

The cabin was as advertised. Extremely secluded and the views getting in and out were beautiful in itself. The drive to Unicoi and Helen were doable at any time. Highly recommend and would return.

Mother’s Day getaway

This property was beautiful, spacious and fully stocked with everything. I’ve never been to a cabin that had so many games to choose from. We were never bored inside. The cabin was close to the city, ruby falls and the spa. The bedding was very comfortable. I would definitely return for another trip to Buckhorn!

A Wonderful Break

This is a great place to get away! We enjoyed exploring the region during the day and relaxing by a fire in the fire pit each evening. Buckhorn Cabin is definitely the place to kick back, take a break, and renew your spirit.

A great cabin!

This cabin was perfect for our stay. The kids enjoyed the loft with games and pool table, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook/grill, the extras provided (miniature soap, shampoo, conditioner, extra TP and paper towels, dish soap and dishwashing tablets) were nice and kept us from having to purchase all of that for a short stay. The listing shows the wood burning fireplace as the only heat source, but the cabin does have central heat/air which made a difference with temps in the 20s/30s at night. The fire pit outside was perfect for roasting marshmallows or just enjoying a campfire. The beds were comfortable, the location is convenient to the town of Helen, plus hiking trails to waterfalls (Anna Ruby and Duke's Creek). I would definitely recommend this cabin and would stay here again. Five stars!
