Idlewild Cabin

Escape to the Blue Ridge Mountains for a little R & R in this cozy, dog-friendly cabin for two with covered, private hot tub, in-room Jacuzzi, and seasonal wood-burning fireplace!

Located less than 30 miles south of the North Carolina border, this semi-secluded Sautee Nacoochee home is only 12 miles from the waters of Lake Burton, a man-made reservoir off the Tallulah River where you can fish, picnic, swim, or maybe even time your visit to enjoy the spectacular Lake Burton Fourth of July fireworks show. This annual tradition dates back to 1975 and is a display that can really only be enjoyed from aboard a boat upon the water!

Step inside this cozy cabin and soak in the rich, woodsy features and accents from the polished floors, to the paneled walls, to the exposed beamed ceilings above.

The great room houses the living room, kitchen and even the bedroom, making this an ideal, single-story home for visitors with mobility issues. The living area offers a plush, leather sofa, and a warming, seasonal, wood-burning fireplace.

Come together at the table and play a card game or enjoy a little something prepared in the nearby kitchen.

The full, well-equipped kitchen has everything one might need to prepare anything from a cup of morning java to a full course meal including a fridge, stove, microwave oven, toaster, coffee maker, and even a dishwasher to help you get a handle on those dirty dishes.

Step through the double doors and out onto your covered, screened-in deck with an additional table and chairs, gas barbecue, and private hot tub, perfect for those steamy Georgia summer nights.

The romantic bedroom has a large, comfortable king-sized bed for two and an in-room, corner style Jacuzzi. There's also a full bathroom with a shower close by. And with an additional set of double doors leading out to the deck, you can swing them open and sleep to the sounds and smells of the surrounding forest.

WiFi is provided in the home and there's also a flatscreen TV to let you catch up on your shows and movies and a stereo to let you fill the cabin with your favorite tunes during your stay. And note that your well-behaved dog (up to two are allowed) is welcome to join you for a nightly pet fee.

Head over to the delightful Bavarian alpine town of Helen (about six miles away) where you can wine, dine, shop, and see the sights from a horse-drawn carriage, only four miles away. If you're looking for a little high-energy excitement on the water, head down the Chattahoochee River aboard a raft or in a tube, or see it all dangling from a zipline above the trees. Both adventures are accessible from companies in Helen or in some of the nearby park areas.

Book this cabin today and surprise your significant other with the promise of a romantic getaway to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Christmas visit

My husband, 2 large dogs and I stayed at the cabin Dec. 22-26. The place is super cozy and is in a great location to Helen and many hiking areas. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great Experience

My partner and I came to get away for a few days and had a wonderful time. The cabin had a great proximity to Helen. Close enough to feel convenient, but far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet. The property was very well kept and clean, and checking in and out with Vacasa was seamless. Definitely recommend!

Best weekend getaway possible in wake of Hurricane Helene

The property was exactly as advertised. Quiet back porch. Clean comfortable interior. We didn't get the outdoor mountain experience we were hoping for due to the weather, but we loved our time in Helen. We will be back in the region soon.

Mostly good, but...

The good - bed, bath, TV, deck, location. Could be better - Lighting (dark place), parking area, neighbors below deck. The not so good - Hot tub (broken parts floating in water, no head cushions, no privacy shields from neighbors. Table "stools" very uncomfortable to sit on.

Bedbugs

Please please check your sheets and mattress. Hopefully they took the proper precautions. They have bed bugs. I ended up sleeping on the couch which was ok . They offered my money back but only for 1 night not my full refund. Which I didn’t like. So because the night was already approaching I stayed on the couch and packed all of my items in my car. Thank fully I brought nothing home with me . I left this comment before and it was deleted. This is the second time.

Comfortable Cabin

The cabin wasn’t clean and ready at our check in time of 4pm, the cleaning lady showed up at our check in on the dot and told us we’d have to wait 45 mins to enter the cabin. But, once we got inside, it was clean and we had no issues with the hot tub like other guests have mentioned. The place is tucked away, but is beside 3 other vacasa cabins as well…. Also, you’re about 15-20 from any walkable trail, so it wasn’t exactly ideal for dogs…. There wasn’t many walkable potty options for our dogs…. The only other mild disturbance was the cabin behind us (another vacasa owned) had extremely loud construction going on as early as 6:30 am…. If you don’t mind a cabin without walkable nature around, and don’t mind 20 min ride into Helen, this is for you… just was hard with large hound dogs, and the noisy mornings were annoying.

Great little cabin

This cabin is a very good location as it is very private with the cabin being at the end of a small gravel drive. Great studio with plenty of room and a fairly large deck with hot tub and gas grill. The hot tub is older, not many jets. At times, when the hot tub was heating, the indoor lights would dim but not every time. The toilet overflowed once during our 3 day stay. This is perfect for two people but no more. If you are going to cook, you may want to bring a battery led light for the kitchen as it is very dark in the kitchen. There is one ceiling fan light between the den area and kitchen. There is a jetted tub in the bedroom area but we did not use it. There is one TV in tge bedroom area, not in the den area. There are three remotes for the TV, Roku, and sound system but no batteries for the TV or sound system remotes so we had to get out of bed to adjust the volume which was rather frustrating. Overall, it is a nice stay.

Perfect for Couples

I am extremely picky about where I stay and I give this cabin a 10/10! My husband and I had such a romantic weekend. Even though there are cabins around, it is still secluded enough to have plenty of privacy. The hot tub and bath tub are perfect for relaxing. The bed is so comfortable. It has central heat and a fireplace, so we didn’t freeze to death. It is located 3.5 miles from Helen, 2 miles to Anna Ruby falls. The driveway is not steep. I can’t say enough good things. My ONLY suggestion is to put a couple bamboo blinds around the back deck so hot tub time can be private!

Nice stay

This cabin was perfect for 2..we enjoyed our stay. The bed was comfy. The enjoyed the big tub with jacuzzi jets. The cabin could use seating. We watched TV from the bed because the couch was not comfortable and there was no other seating. Also the dining chairs were not comfortable either. Otherwise it meet all of our needs.

Beautiful and sparkling clean

The only downside of this place is the EXTREMELY dull knives. But the place is so clean and well-kept. Enjoyed our stay. Clean towels, sheets, tub and hot tub; even had packaged the sponge and soap and dishwasher pods; had all clean dishware and silverware. This property was nicely tucked away from other property so it was nice to have a romantic night there without worrying about people being able to peek in.

Helen Getaway

The cabin was clean and very cozy. It was perfect for our weekend getaway. The bed was extremely comfortable! Unfortunately, the hot tub was out of service so we made use of the jacuzzi bathtub. The property manager notified us about the hot tub not working and assured us compensation for that. We had a lovely time and I would highly recommend this property.

Loved Idlewild Cabin

My fiancée and I loved our stay in Idlewild Cabin. It was relaxing and cozy, exactly what we were looking for. The only suggestion I would have is an upgrade with the couch. It wasn't super comfortable for too long of a movie or for vegging out. Other than that, we cannot wait to return!
