Quiet, clean and very private. Easy to get to and close to town.
Cabin was very clean and well kept! The hot tub was also fantastic after a day of hiking and exploring. Having a cup of coffee on the pirch was devine. I would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat.

This was the third time we have rented with Georgia Mountain Rentals and as always everything was great. The cabin was nice and clean and the location was very peaceful. We stayed in Cherokee Ridge #5, we have also stayed in 6 and 7 and have not been disappointed.
Cute little cabin on top of the hill. Very private at the end of the dead end. Cabin is well equipped. Television wasn't the best reception, but we weren't there to watch tv. Bring a fire stick or other streaming device and you'll be fine. Great WIFI. Hot tub was nice at night with the gas fire pit going next to it. Close to Helen and Anna Ruby falls.
This property was perfect for our weekend away! It was very clean, easy to find, loved the private location and hot tub in the deck. They were very accommodating and we really appreciated our fur friend being welcomed as well. They left extra towels for him and the gate on the deck was perfect to allow him in and out. We would definitely stay at this property again if we’re ever back in the area! Also, thanks for having a corkscrew in the kitchen for my wine!

One good thing: GPS actually took us straight to it! It's secluded and quiet. However, the whole cabin desperately needs a make over. The kitchen needs a new microwave, the fridge had hair in it and needed to be cleaned. ait,angues

We stayed with Georgia Mountain Rentals last year in a different cabin (just the two of us cabin) and it was wonderful! We decided to go back again this year and stayed in Cherokee 5, it was just as great! We love the private decks with the hot tubs and fire pit! Great place to relax and unwind after enjoying all the festivities in town. Location is perfect not too far from town and not too close to the hustle and bustle. We will definitely be back again!!

This property was a great retreat for me and my husband. All the amenities you need to be comfortable are there. It's just a short drive to downtown Helen, so we enjoyed all the festivities and went back to the cabin for naps and a dip in the hot tub. Highly recommend for a great secluded mountain experience close to everything you would want to do in Helen.

Our experience was wonderful. We had a very nice cabin. it was clean and well kept. Completely furnished kitchen. We arrived in mid December for a 3 night stay and a pre lit Christmas tree was waiting in our cabin. Over all we had a great experience and would recommend Ga Mountain rentals to anyone looking for a nice getaway in the Georgia Mountains.

Decent for the price
Other properties leading in really gave us a scare! Overall it was a good stay though, TV situation could definitely need an upgrade in size for a late night movie or a Saturday evening ball game while grilling. Wind got up during the night & there was lots of noise from trees or shrubs rubbing the cottage. We was happy to find out it wasn't bears, lol. It ended being a quiet & relaxing weekend.

Cherokee # 5 was perfect and at 2.5 hours away, it just became our run to get away. This cottage was perfect for two people and our two dogs. It was private, quiet, and so relaxing. The hot tub was amazing. It was easy to find from Helen, GA, and was completely as stated, fully equipped for a very comfortable week. Georgia Mountain Rental staff was attentive, courteous, and cared for any needs. 1st time in Helen Ga. This was the best of both worlds. The cottage was a beautiful retreat after a day of tubing, dining, and shopping

Reviewer Comments:
The cabin is listed as having 2 bedrooms. It does not. This set the tone for our stay, and although we had a great time in Helen, where we have been many times, it was shocking to be so totally misled about the cabin. Be honest. By itself, it’s a great little property. But it does not have 2 bedrooms.
The property was nice for a weekend getaway, close to Helen and lots of sightseeing. We wanted a quiet getaway, which this was. We also wanted a hottub and fireplace, which is why we rented this cabin. The kitchen was well appointed, it had everything you could need to make complete meals, minus the food.The biggest drawback, and our only complaints are in regard to the hottub and the fireplace, both are the primary reasons we rented this particular cabin, both were disappointing. The hottub jets did not work well, and the hottub did not hold a consistent temperature. The outdoor firepit worked well, the indoor fireplace did not work. We were told to jiggle the logs to get it to light, that didnt work, it only extinguised the pilot light, which we were unable to light again. It would have been helpful to have a manual with operating instructions.The cabin in general was basically clean. The floor could have been a little cleaner, or maybe a swiffer left behind so we could touch it up. The cute record player was a nice touch. A fun addition. All in all, we were happy with the rest of our stay at the cabin, it would have been great if everything worked.I recommend this rental if you want a quiet stay. I don't recommend it if you are looking forward to using the hottub or fireplace. We would have saved the extra money and rented a cabin in the state park, or one of the many other cabins for rent, instead.
