Dec 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Joey W.

Oct 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Amy J. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Casie W. Nov 18, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Casie W. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teresa M.

Awesome area with lots to do. Mountain Laurel Chalet is a great “home away from home”, and the owner is extremely nice, accommodating, and excellent with communication. ##### David G.

It was lovely, clean, welcoming, convenient, and a perfect fit for our sibling weekend. We loved the home and encourage everyone to stay there. it was also really close to all of Helen activities. The drive was simple and short to anything you wanted to do. ##### Jane T.

Very spacious house in the mountains for my family of 6\. Will be back!! House was very accommodating for our family of 6 and had 5 beds which was great. Kitchen was stocked and easy to cook breakfast and dinners for everyone. Loved the layout of the house, wifi worked great, fireplace was awesome, hottub with perfect!! Only a 15min drive to Helen for daily outings and supply runs. Can't wait to visit Moutain Laurel Chalet in the summer!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul M., Sharpsburg GA 30277 United States Oct 30, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### It gets better every time! What a wonderful place to relax and unwind. Perfect getaway to entertain out of state friends. Steve, as before, you and your family has provided the perfect platform for a great weekend. We will be doing it again real soon! 😃 ##### Paul M. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Thomas G. L. Jul 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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 ##### Thomas G. L. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan C., Atlanta Aug 1, 2017 #### 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!!! ##### Jonathan C. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy M.

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! ##### Tracy M.
