Nice place
Feeling of being in the woods while close to town. A little hard to find but the pictures helped. Suggest to owner put in new reflectors...old ones are gone. But once you find it it's fine.

Relaxing Trip to Helen GA
Property was easy to find with the directions given. Great location, not exactly walkable to the downtown area, but very close. The kitchen equipment was well stocked with everything we needed and the hot tub was wonderful to soak in. Would stay here again.

Cute Cozy Cabin
We absolutely loved staying here, and you can’t beat the price! The location of this house is just amazing. The kind bed was like sleeping on a cloud! Don’t get me started on the hot tub ( I could sleep in it, it was so amazing). I wish we could’ve seen the bear that got into the trash the morning before we left though. Now that would’ve been awesome! We will definitely be back!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Ms. Bonnie's cabin. While it was definitely close enough to walk into town, you felt like you were far enough out in the woods that you felt nicely secluded. Great cabin!

Great Stay
Amazing cozy cabin. We enjoyed everything that it had to offer; from the grill on the porch (we bought sausages at Betty's Market and had the best dinner), to submerging in the hot tub. It was amazing while the clear sky offered the best view of the stars, we stayed warm while the weather was 42 degrees out. Check in / check out was a piece of cake. Bonnie was always there for us online with updates and town suggestions to enjoy! Oh, and if you wake up early you might get lucky enough to watch deer roaming around, you got to be really quiet though, as noise may scare them off. 100% recommend!

Thanks for the awesome review, The camera is in place to cover the only entry to the cabin, For the security of our guests and the safety of our Cabin, Camera's are only for security & Liability purposes I have had someone fall before on our deck in that area. I understand hotels are bigger and you don't notice it as much. I have guest's that like the security especially the location we are in the woods. We lokk forward to your return

Perfect Getaway
So this was a quickly put together weekend which we truly got lucky with this secluded spot. Just close enough for anyone really looking to be away from everything but close enough that if you wanted to walk you could. The cabin was clean and refreshing. The great thing is the puzzles and board games that the family sat at the kitchen table and pushed electronics to the side. Now if you just need electronics the internet is fast and plenty of tv channels to watch. Helen is a small town with limited things for kids but my kids really enjoyed the trip. 5 out of 5 if your looking for that refreshing peaceful getaway.

This cabin is perfect for a small family. Hot tub was just perfect. Kitchen had all the essentials. Definitely walking distance to the towns main drag. Appreciated all the movie options with Netflix etc. Read the directions how to find cabin. Driveway a bit hidden. My only wish was for more towels and a keurig.

Extremely relaxing stay
Cabin was very clean and bed very comfortable!! Furniture comfortable as well. Excellent communication with owner being sure all our needs were met. Would absolutely stay again in future and refer friends/family as well. Be sure you arrive in daylight and you’ll have no trouble finding the road…but the reflector/red tape (now pink because of fading) is hard to see and definitely needs to be replaced. The road to the cabin is tricky and definitely, definitely!! watch out for tree stumps at bottom of hill in the curve…but with that being said if you arrive during daylight hours and get acclimated to road and cabin directions…you’ll be just fine. We found it very peaceful yet very close to town. It was a wonderful relaxing retreat and I highly suggest it to all. The owner is absolutely wonderful!!

Make sure you show up in daylight! The cabin is well lit but the road to the cabin was not well lit or marked and difficult to find on our 1st try at night. Once there, it was easy to find again. The cabin is quaint and comfortable. Host was very responsive, and we enjoyed our stay. Thanks Bonnie, we will be back again!

Great little getaway close to town
The property was as expected. It was clean and comfortable. It was a little hard to find because the red tape we were looking for had faded and we didn’t see it on the driveway to turn in. We could’ve walked to town but decided to drive cause the uphill on the way back would’ve been too much for us. The only negative would be the bathroom could use a little more light, a new shower curtain and bath rug. The rug there stays wet even after we hung it to dry. Other than that everything was good. Would definitely come back again.

We had a beautiful stay here at the cabin. It’s tucked away at the end of the road so you have peace and quiet. The hot tin was fun to enjoy with family and look at the outdoors. The maid was amazing she brought us some extra things we needed. It was our daughters 8th birthday and I asked the if they could decorate for her and it was above and beyond! Great communication and super quick at that!!!! A must stay for any couple or family!

Anniversary Getaway
My husband and I enjoyed the accommodations, including the peaceful front porch and the jacuzzi. During the day, we took our pups on hikes in the state parks, and we spent one afternoon at a winery, listening to a live band. The cabin is close enough to walk into town, which is a good thing during prime tourist season. I definitely recommend staying here.
