Cameron House Retreat: Lake, wine & mountain paradise! 5 miles to Helen!
SUMMER SPECIAL! 20% off JULY/AUGUST REGULAR PRICES. Book soon; calendar fills up quickly. We now have 2 more bathrooms added, and the other 2 have been BEAUTIFULLY renovated! Our newest additions are a large deck off back of the house overlooking Mt. Yonah and the lake, and a 500 sq. foot game room! Stay 7 nights, get the 8th night free! Stay Mid-week (Sun-Thurs. only) and receive an additional 10% off our regular rates! The newly renovated Cameron House Retreat is nestled in the foothills of Northeast GA wine country, and sits at the base of Mt. Yonah, and butts up to the Chatahoochee National Forest, a short walk from our property. This sprawling 5 bedroom, 4 full bath home is like no other in the area. Our home is located halfway between famous Alpine Helen and historical Cleveland, just 1.5 miles off Hwy. 75, and only 90 minutes NE of Atlanta. This area is quickly becoming known as THE premier spot for excellent wines, with more than a dozen local, highly rated wineries for enthusiasts to tour and taste! Convenient to restaurants, boutiques, sports activities, nature trails with beautiful waterfalls, scenic drives and quaint towns, Cameron House Retreat is the ideal vacation spot for adults and children alike. Kids can spend hours tubing down a lazy river, go miniature golfing, go carting, panning for gold, or enjoy a day at the water park, all minutes away! Enjoy roasting marshmallows by a campfire down by a private shared lake, take a rowboat out for a little fishing, a pedal boat out for a little paddling, relax in our shaded pavilion, or just sit on the dock and take in the breath-taking million dollar views. With wrap around porches, a hot tub, a large extended back deck, and a warm and cozy environment, our home is a stand-out. With many nooks and crannies, it is small enough to curl up in a favorite corner with a book, yet large enough to secure the privacy of up to 14 adults, and 3 infants! Each area has it's own unique theme and personality. The main floor has a fully equipped farmhouse style eat-in kitchen, a den with a gas fireplace, 2 bedrooms, a full bath, a dining room, laundry room, and a large living room with a wood burning fireplace for chilly nights. One flight up leads you to the master bedroom with vaulted ceilings and private terrace, another guest bedroom, and full bath, and a private wing that sleeps 6. NEW! A 500 sq. ft. detached game room for playing poker, ping-pong, Foosball, pool, and air hockey while watching sports on a 60" flat screen TV! Room for little kids, (big kids too), to color and play board games. Be prepared to be enchanted by our relaxing and secluded mountain retreat. And please don't think of it as going away, just think of it as coming home...

Check in was easy. Great location to the trails and Helen. The hot tub was awesome. I used it several nights to relax after enjoying the nearby hiking trails. The house was very welcoming and the game room was used every night. Our 2 year old niece used the outdoor played every day. It was a great stay. Would stay at this location again.
The property was perfect and the owner and property managers were so helpful. It is a short drive to everything and the views from the property were amazing. Great for large families.
Could not have asked for a better getaway. Your home was amazing. Very clean and well equipped. The owners were very accommodating and very hospitable. Will definitely be back. Thank you for opening up your home.
Plenty of room for 6 adults and 6 kids to stay while playing in a baseball tournament at Yonah Preserve. Hot tub was great for the kids and adults. Beautiful walk down to the pond and great mountain views from the back porch! Robert and Debbi were VERY good about checking in to make sure everything was ok. Extremely accommodating and helpful throughout our stay. Would definitely stay here again!
Staying at Cameron House Retreat for our annual birthday trip with our twin 13-year-old boys and our family friends was an absolutely wonderful experience in every way. The house was so well kept and furnished with every conceivable amenity that it seemed the owners lived there full time and had just left to allow us to stay. Because Helen has so many options for dining, we only cooked one night but had everything we needed. The children enjoyed the hot tub, fishing in the lake, and playing all the games in the game room. There was only one issue, and it is only worth mentioning because the owner had it addressed immediately and came the very next morning to ensure everything was handled. We can’t wait to go back!!!! We love Cameron House Retreat!!!
Our little heaven on earthWe were a group of 74 teenage boys and three adult adults enjoying the for holiday. Everything was immaculate. We have one little hiccup with the hot tub and the air pump to pump up the bicycle tires. We contacted the host and they sent a repairman to fix it immediately I was so impressed. They even pumped up the wheels on my wheelchair for me. Everything was clean and spacious and oh so many things to do the kids loved having their own detached playroom with all of the pool tables and chess games and ping-pong and such my 17-year-old grandson and I were sitting on the back porch and I sneezed and he laughed, and he said grandma your sneezes echoed throughout the whole area such a thrill to see the night lights in the sky. You know the natural ones that God created. We will definitely be back again thank you so much for your hospitality and all the beautiful surroundings
The Cameron House was great. The house was larger than expected and provided plenty of room for all our family members. The host was great in responding and made sure we had everything we needed. The house is also in a very good location close to Helen and many other attractions. We had a great time. Will stay again!!
This home was so fabulous! Very clean and plenty of room. We loved the furnishings. Beds were very comfortable. We loved the game room! We will definitely return.
What a great house for our large group. Plenty of room to spread out, great location, beautiful view, GREAT game room, and thoughtful touches. Great for children. It's the total package. We really enjoyed our stay. Robert & Debbi were great hosts & very responsive. We'll be back! :-)
My fiancé and a group of about 10 of his friends stayed here for a long weekend to celebrate his bachelor trip. They had the best time!!!! He said the house was immaculate with plenty of room for everyone. The game room and pond was such a nice addition. Easy check in and great communication with the owner. Thank you so much!!!
We gathered to celebrate a daughter's significant decade birthday. "Surprise" guests for her included a favorite aunt from Ohio and Marine son stationed near Baltimore. We cooked (too) good meals, played games. Our fishermen were delighted to fish the small lake in the boat. Such a lovely home in a great location....seemingly in the middle of nowhere in the mountains but a short drive to grocery store, Mt Yonah hiking, wineries. It doesn't get any better.
We loved how interesting Cameron House Retreat is! Something interesting to look at, read, play and enjoy at every turn! Owners and manager attentive although we had no issues at all. The “how to” manual answered all of our questions. We enjoyed outings to Helen, Cleveland and Sautee. Hope to come back again.
Perfect location!!!! So close to Helen to enjoy the Helen Christmas Festivities, and still secluded in the beautiful mountains. The house is everything I hoped it would be when bringing the family in from 3 different states. We had small busy children with us and the playground was a huge hit. This house is a 10 out of 10. We'll be back.
This place is incredible. The owner is one of the most informative and kind people I’ve ever met. Great communication!!! you will absolutely love this place. Thank you so much.
We really enjoyed our stay. Owner is attentive, house was as advertised and location was great. The game room is nice, house is big for families to do different things and plenty of porch for everyone.
The “ rental “ feels like a home. We had everything we could ever want for a few days and more. The beds were so comfortable. The house was super clean. We appreciate not having to buy spices to cook. Love how you can spread out in two different sitting rooms. My 83 year old dad said he couldn’t imagine a better place for our family to have stayed as we said goodbye to a beloved family member. The views from the house are amazing. The privacy … amazing. Beautiful birds, deer, and even caught a couple of fish ( returned them to their homes ). This house is a family house. It was perfect for our family. The house is easy to get to and was centrally located to all of our destinations. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. We would have loved to have our grands, as the property is kid friendly, sadly circumstances didn’t allow. Thank you! We would love to visit again!
I would give this property 10 stars. Great location and not far at all from downtown Helen. Plenty of room if you have multiple families staying with you. My family will definitely be coming to stay here again!
We had a wonderful family reunion at this cabin. Room for everyone and the kids really enjoyed the game room. Internet is a little slow, but that is expected in a rural area.

Great for Large Get Together
Beautiful home inside, and great views out. This home is FULLY stocked with everything you would need to enjoy your stay. Plenty of room for everyone to do what they want to do and not get in each others way. A great experience all around from reservations to checking out.
Very impress with the retreat home, the home was clean and spacious. It was well stocked and everything was organized in the kitchen and bathroom. The property manager and the owners were pleasant and kind. The only down side is that on the last day there were issues with the water well so water supply was slim to none. Overall it was a great place.
We had a great time at this house! The game room is awesome! Smores at the firepit, a boat ride on the water, convenient location to Helen, I mean what more can you ask for? Oh yeah, to relax in the hot tub to end your awesome day! The hosts really go the extra step, so many nice touches, It's the little thoughtful things that make them great hosts.
