Wonderful Retreat
Cute, quaint little cabin in the woods. With everything you need for a relaxing retreat in the woods with all the comforts of home. Steve is a friendly host, and was quick to respond to accommodate all our needs. We had a comfortable stay, and the hot tub is great after a long day of hiking. Just keep in mind the cabin is a bit off the beaten path so if you're more of a city slicker be advised. But makes for quiet and peaceful get away from reality. Definitely would stay again!

Beautiful chalet
We were glad to be away from the Hustle and bustle of Helen at times. Our communications with Steve was spot on. We do believe some of the foliage was overgrown, maybe it is manicured and trimmed back in the spring. The beds were comfortable and it was a pleasant experience

Fantastic home in a great location
We stayed at the Mount Laurel Chalet for 10 days in July 2023. We came to Georgia to hike in the Chattahoochee National Forest and surrounding areas. This home location was ideal for the hiking we had planned. The town of Helen is very close. If you enjoy spending time in a tourist location this is the town. We shopped at Betty’s and ate at the house most of our trip. However, Helen offers many restaurants/bars, there’s tubing in the town as well as other activities. Overall, this was an ideal home for us and we loved the hot tub after a long day of hiking!

The cabin was great, was amazingly secluded, but within easy driving distance of Helen
The room sizes and layout was wonderful. Owners were a joy to deal with and we are had a great weekend stay. Only two complaints were the automatic lighting mechanism on the grill didn't work and the internet service was slow. But, we should have thought to bring matches, and who would expect fast internet service on the edge of a national forest. We had a great time and would definitely return! Thanks for a wonderful stay!!!

Great visit
The cabin was very comfortable. The owner adds in little things like dishwashing soap, laundry detergent, garbage bags...nice touch. It's close to most things except a decent grocery store so recommend stopping on your way into town. The activities that surround the area are all family friendly...hiking, tubing, zip lining, etc. All fun stuff! The owner was very friendly & easy to work with. We ended up wanting to stay an extra day, didn't want to leave!

Girls Birthday Trip
We enjoyed the home itself, perfect for our girls trip. As for Helen, it is a great place to sightsee and adventure to but do NOT count on getting a restaurant with good service and good food. We ate at 4 different places over the weekend and we only got good service at one and the food was not that wonderful. All in All, we still enjoyed our trip!!

Nice cabin for our family of 5
This is a beautiful cabin has everything you may need for your stay. We had two adults and three teenagers and there was plenty of room. It is located century to hiking,Helen, and Ruby falls. If I had to suggest anything it would be probably to upgrade the TVs and maybe put a TV in the two spare bedrooms there is a TV in the master bedroom but not the other two bedrooms not that this was a big problem at all (except for my 16 18 year old lol) the property manager Steve was super easy to communicate with and even though we really didn't have any problems I felt very comfortable if we did he would have took care of it pretty quickly.

Beautiful and rejuvenating vacation spot
From the absolutely gorgeous view, the relaxing and comfortable chalet, to the perks of being close to several natural attractions and the adorable town of Helen, GA, I can not recommend this place enough. Anna Ruby Falls and Unicoi Lake are within 10 minutes driving distance and a must see for rejuvenation and inspiration. I highly suggest going to check out Helen's German artisan shops, but the most important suggestion I can make is just to wake up with a cup of coffee on the balcony upstairs and soak in the wonderful forest sounds. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

10 Acres? Where?
We arrived late Friday night. Upon arrival we noticed no one had swept the massive amount of leaves. With it being dark and wet, we definitely could have fallen very easily. My husband spent Saturday morning sweeping the deck, stairs, and hot tub area. We were expecting a very quiet, weekend. While we did get that, we also had neighbors we could hear. Very clearly. With the listing advertising 10+ acres we were absolutely not expecting that. We unfortunately could not figure out how to turn the heat on downstairs. It was pretty chilly in the mornings. The fireplace was absolutely needed & they supplied wood. The TV in the living room has been updated since the last pictures. This did not affect us, however, there is no TV in the two bedrooms on the main floor. Only the master. The master bed was decently comfortable. The house was moderately cleaned. I would definitely suggest looking everywhere when cleaning. We found someone’s entire retainer under the bed….. We did not need them, but as a parent I was extremely thankful to see they had a high chair, a booster seat, kids books, kids movies, a few games, and even a pack n play! Definitely some hidden bonuses! The drive in to the cabin is gorgeous. Definitely in fall, the leaves are changing and it’s beautiful. Overall the stay was okay. I would not book here again though.

Pictures don't do it justice
The pictures on vrbo made the home seem smaller than it really is. Coming up the driveway to the home took our breath away. The stairs to the front door was hard for my 83 year old mom. But even she could not stop raving over how wonderful the home was. The whole house is bigger than we thought it would be, very well equipped, and the hot tub was the perfect way to end the day after the wedding and reception we attended this weekend. The beds were comfortable and the whole hose cozy. Wish we had more time to just hang out there to relax.

Beautiful and cozy cabin
The cabin is even prettier than the pictures. We loved the remote location and the quiet beauty of the woods. We thoroughly enjoyed having a fire in the wood stove each night. The kitchen is not large but was sufficient for our needs. We brought a group of six women for a prayer retreat and the table and living room were perfect for our size group. The king size bed upstairs was very comfortable. Some of the women said the queen size beds downstairs were a little hard. Everyone agreed that the cabin was very comfortable and pleasant in general. We never did find a firepit, though. Maybe we misunderstood the listing. The hot tub is outside and looks beautiful, but we enjoyed the wood stove so much we never got in the hot tub. I would stay here again.
