About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Relax and Unwind at the Creekside Cottage! Near wineries & dog friendly.

Enjoy relaxing to the sounds of the babbling creek while sipping wine in the hot tub or sitting around the fire pit! Just 10 minutes from the Bavarian Alps replica town of Helen, Georgia. Dog friendly & convenient to local wineries! Huge yard perfect for letting the kids explore.

Whether you're visiting the North Georgia mountains for a wedding, winery tours, one of our many festivals like Oktoberfest, admiring the fall leaves, a college graduation, a family vacation, or in hopes of striking it rich while panning for gold, we're certain that our home will be a place of rest and relaxation during your stay.

Visit the Bavarian Alps replica town of Helen, Georgia nestled in the Appalachian mountains of North Georgia. This area was once home to the mighty Cherokee. When settled by Europeans in the 1800's it became the site of the first U.S. gold rush. Then later became the quaint little German town it is today.

Come during late September through the end of October to not only enjoy the changing leaves, but also experience the Oktoberfest celebrations!

Our home is also an excellent place of respite for the adventurer! There are countless hiking trails, excellent roads for mountain biking, exceptional trout fishing waters, and more waterfalls than you can see on one trip.

Fun for the whole family too, with a waterpark, zip line adventures, horseback riding, river tubing, mini-golf, gold & gem mining, award-winning vineyards, a local brewery, unique shops, amish bakeries, antiquing, great local & German cuisine, and much more!

Our mountain cabin was built in 1997. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large living area, and a kitchen and dining area. Nearly 1000 sq. ft. of wrap around screened in porches to take in the fresh mountain air and sounds of running water. When you're ready to relax after a long day of exploring all the area has to offer, slip into the hot tub with a glass of wine or make s'mores by the camp fire out back.

There is a smart doorbell installed by the front door with audio and video recording capabilities for security purposes.

The property is great. Tucked away in the woods a short drive to Helen. Nice little creek right in the back and extremely kid friendly. The host was also very responsive. Highly recommended.

Great location
Property is in a peaceful location yet convenient to downtown Helen and all the attractions. The weather was warmer while we were there, but they did offer firewood and the stuff to make smores, which was very nice. Very pleasant stay.

Quiet natural retreat
This really was our ideal stay. There were no issues whatsoever. The wraparound porch, hot tub, seating area at creek let us enjoy the evening sounds after long days at the nearby parks, waterfalls, tubing, etc. The house is incredibly clean and well stocked, we wanted for nothing! We will definitely return.

Excellent Stay in Helen Area
We had booked this in order to visit the Helen area for the first time. Host was beyond accommodating and the communication was excellent. The property is well cared for and all the amenities were as advertised including the nice hot tub. Being able to sit down by the creek and relax was also a highlight. We had a baby and wish we had read the description better as we brought a lot of equipment like a portable crib and high chair that were not necessary! Well suited for kids. The location is wonderful as you are a short drive to Helen and grocery shopping is not too far away. We also enjoyed the proximity to hikes nearby and caught some great fall weather. Just be advised that you will have to pay some State Park Fees so if you do go visit plan your day accordingly.

Wish we could have stayed longer! We were in town for a family wedding and away from the cabin more than we wanted to be. Can’t wait to go back and just relax at the fire pit with smores or a good book in the swing.

Excellent Spring Break stay
This VRBO is great for families. They have provided items to accommodate young children, older children nd adults. All the amenities worked beautifully. We had a blast playing Twister! Highly recommend this VRBO and would stay here again if we return to the area.

Helen cabin
This cabin was good, clean & I loved the homey feel. Loved the little extras (bug spray, toys,smores) we had our own stuff bug spray, wood & such but it was nice that it was there if we forgot ours. Loved having the washer/dryer & it worked correctly. ❤️❤️ The host/owner was easy to work with.

Everything
This place was everything they said it was. All the streets are dead end so there was no thru traffic. The cabin was neat and clean and very well organized. Porch was screened in, so no bugs got in with ample rocking chairs to sit and just relax. Helen is only 4 miles away and on some of the most gorgeous roads in Georgia. If I had one bad thing to say is we didn't schedule enough time to really enjoy the cabin!

Great Location
The cottage was in a great location, less than 15 minutes away from lots of hikes and town of Helen. Ingles grocery store was less than 10 minutes away, very clean and nice! We LOVED the cottage outdoor space with hot tub and the creek with bench swing. Sitting there listening to the water was so relaxing!

Our Family Vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Creekside Cottage. It was a wonderful retreat. Our hosts the Lathem’s were so kind and accommodating. They quickly answered any of our questions. The retreat was clean and very well stocked. It is a quiet and peaceful place. We loved that there were toys for our little ones. It was so close to all our activities and yet seemed secluded. Our family had so much fun. We definitely we recommend this retreat for families.
