Birthday getaway

Booked this for my friends birthday. It was the perfect location and had plenty of room for all of us. The decks were perfect and the hot tub was the perfect way to end the day. Would definitely stay here again. Also love that we could bring the dogs.

Great memories

We had the best time visiting Helen GA and staying here! The cabin is perfectly cozy with everything we needed. Everything was nice and clean. It’s so peaceful to be so close to town. Our only complaint is the way too long door entry code.

Romantic Pre Valentine’s Weekend

Happy Camper was the perfect dog friendly spot for our weekend getaway. The cabin was the perfect size and was accurately listed. The location is fantastic, and we even got to see a family of deer. The only negative was the hot tub wasn’t hot. But other than that, we would gladly stay again.

Relaxing and inviting

Everything was turn on for us. We arrived in the evening and were able to put out things in the cabin and get right into the hot tub. It was on and warm waiting for us to enjoy. The grill was fantastic. Everything we needed was there for us. Thank you for a great time! We were indeed happy campers!!

Happy times at the happy camper

Enjoyed the mountain feel but super close to everything. Don’t think I would walk since the street is a bit of a hike, but only a few minutes drive. Cabin is cute. Kids said “it’s a vibe” 😜 our puppy got to come along and go on our Helen adventure too. We had an intense game of Uno and enjoyed the hot tub.

Great little getaway

This little cabin was great for our short weekend. Hot tub was perfect, we got to bring our dog and he was happy and the cabin is nestled in the trees along with 4 other cabins. But it is a very quiet little cul de sac. The beds were comfortable. It is a one car road to get to the cabin area so be cautious when driving in. We walked into town each evening without difficulty. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again if we have the chance.

Cabin to the downtown, Helen town

Very nice cabin with plenty of space and in the woods. Very close to the town of Helen you can walk down the hill and be right in the city center. Only recommendation I have is the maintenance needs to clean all the comb webs outside before somebody occupies the cabin. Also when we got heavy rain, the gutters are clogged, causing a pour down in front of the door.

The Happy Camper

The property is a short 3-minute drive to downtown Helen which makes the location ideal for those who want to be close to town but have a more private feel. There is a narrow road leading to the property from the main road but we did not have any issues with it or accessing the private parking. We also brought our small dog and she enjoyed the stay. Communication was excellent/responsive and the property overall was nice, though there were a few minor issues with cleanliness such as with the floors.

Great Christmas at the Happy Camper in Helen

Wonderful property in Helen! The cabin was immaculate and cozy. It was so nice to find a dog friendly option! Our dogs loved walking around the wooded areas. The kitchen was small, but functional and the outside grill was such a plus! The property was very quiet and we loved the fireplace and large TV. The property is in walking distance to Helen, but there is a very steep drive leading up to the neighborhood that may be quite challenging for some. We highly recommend and would love to go back! Check out the BBQ place at the end of the drive leading to the neighborhood - it was great!

Pros - Communications were prompt and friendly. We had an issue with the thermostat which they fixed right away. The decor was also cute and woodsy, which fit the location. Cons - The property could use more interior lighting, especially in the dining area. Additionally, there were a few areas that didn't feel completely clean.

Property was clean and the area was prefect for us although it was difficult to enter a 10 digit code to open the door. I probably would avoid in the future because it took 3 attempts to open the door every time and the dogs were not happy waiting.

Good place to stay but the sofa bed is not something adults will want to sleep on. (very uncomfortable) The picture makes it look secluded and its not when it comes to parking.

Great Cabin- Close to Town!

This cabin was perfect for a family of three with dogs. We were close enough to town to walk, if needed, but also enjoyed the privacy of the cabin. The hot tub was great after a chilly tubing adventure!
