Beautiful house but bring food storage
The house was beautiful and as pictured. The sauna was amazing (too short length wise to lay down on the top shelf). The neighborhood was off the beaten path and quiet but minutes from Helen. The issue I had was that there was nothing in the kitchen to help store our food. No Tupperware, Saran wrap, tin foil, or Ziploc bags. There were also no condiments of any kind. My friends did not like that the porch/deck was not cleaned but I don't mind some leaves/twigs. Water pressure and temperature were good even with 3 people showering the same night, the sauna and hot tub were clean and worked great. I would stay here again just remember to bring a storage method if you are cooking there.

Thanks so much for your review of our cabin! We will try our best to do better about the decks as it is completely open and in those oak trees there are ALWAYS a bunch of leaves and acorns!! We will try to get better at doing it more often! Also we will see about getting some storage containers in the cabin for food! We usually stock that stuff must have just all gotten used as takeaway containers! We hope to have y’all back again soon!!

Beautiful cabin but fell short of expectations
The cabin was very spacious. Our family enjoyed the fireplace, hot tub, BBQ grill, and the small creeck that runs through the back of the property. The reason why it didn't meet our expectations was that although the the place was generally clean, the shower in the master bathroom was unsanitary. We opted to use the upstairs shower wich was a bit of an inconvenience. Also, the hot tub made a lot of noise even when not in use. It made sleeping unconfortable since it sat very close to the master bedroom.

Cute little cabin 20min from Helen
We spent a long weekend in this cute little cabin. It is well decorated and comfortable. The beds were not bad at all. It is near Helen. The property is great and fit the needs of our little family of 5. Just a short drive to Helen where we found plenty restaurants and shops. We even drove to Dahlonega (about 40+min) and enjoyed the antiques stores. There is a Dollar General couple minutes away and that is convenient for items you may have forgotten. Our kids really enjoyed the HotTub. The kitchen is small but the BBQ outside made up for it. The table can extend and fit 6, which was great. The cabin seemed mostly cleaned. Every time we called for a question, the gentleman with Blue Cabins was very nice and helpful. Check in and out were easy. The small cons we found were that the house is very loud, meaning you hear everything every one is doing. So if you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs. You will hear the people above you move in their room or flush the toilet. Bring blankets, there isn't enough blankets available. The fridge ice maker does not work, so bring a bag of ice. The kitchen could use extra pots and dishes but you can manage with what is there. The bathroom tiles could use a good vinegar/calcium wash as the water seems very hard and leaves white stains on the tile. Bring extra toilet paper and paper towel, what was provided was not enough (not fresh rolls were in toilets, but left over rolls from previous renters).

We had a nice stay, although 2nd day in my husband slipped on the leaves and fractured his ankle. I think the deck could have been cleaned of leaves before we checked in. He slipped on leaves around the property very slippery. Otherwise we had a quiet vacation.

Hidden Gem!!
We wanted to get out of SW Florida, especially after just surviving Hurricane Ian, and feel some cooler temps and see Fall colors. I explored options fpr weeks before deciding on this place. It was exactly what we needed! Hidden in the beautiful trees on the outskirts of Helen. Close to everything we needed. Gorgeous time of year to go. Cabin was perfect for us..everyone had their own rooms and floor. My eldery mother had the main floor as she has mobility issues after a stroke..front steps were all she had to tackle and it was perfect for her. Everything you would need is there for you! It was one of the best vacations I have had...I actually relaxed inbetween shopping and enjoying the towns. Coffee on the porch (wrapped in a blanket) on the cold mornings was the best!! I highly recommend!

Cabin is beautiful and we absolutely enjoyed it. The only issue I found was that the master bathroom floor was dirty and it seemed the shower may have had some hard water soap scum left behind. The tile is so dark that you don't see the dirt. However the shower spilled out into the floor and when I wiped it up, my paper towel was really dirty. Everything else is n the cabin was very clean. Also, the kitchen needs a can opener. Except for those things, it is a fabulous place to stay and I would choose it again. Thank you!

Beautiful secluded cabin!
The cabin was in a beautifully wooded, secluded location but also easily within a 10-minute drive to Helen. The bedrooms were cozy but not overly spacious which is fine for a cabin vacation. The large outdoor deck was perfect for relaxing with that first cup of coffee in the morning. There was a hot tub and a sauna, which we didn't use, but was nice to know they were available if we wanted. Overall, a very nice stay!

Nice time at Mountainside Falls
We used the Waze app for driving and it took us straight to the cabin. The only issue was we didn’t see the street sign until we went past it. Once we knew where the sign was we had no issues. We have a SUV and the gravel road was not a problem. I recommend taking the first trip slowly as there are several turns. Once I figured out the proper angle parking was not a problem. The pictures of the outside of the cabin don’t really show the trees that surround the cabin. The trees gave the cabin the private feel we really like. The deck that wraps around the cabin is very nice. The hot tub is covered and quite private. The first impression of the cabin is that of a clean and comfortable place. The living room is a perfect size. The kitchen area is right next to the living room. It was a short trip to get snacks. The picture of the dining room table shows 4 chairs but it had 6. We used the top floor bedroom and main floor bedroom. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and in good shape. I read one comment about how sounds travel in this cabin and I agree. It was not a problem but something we noticed. The sauna in the basement was a nice feature. There were only 2 things that needed improvement. The grill did not work at full capacity. It did not affect us but could be an issue if someone wanted to use the entire grill surface. With all the trees the deck was a little dirty. A powerwash would easily take care of this. Our family will definitely consider returning to Mountain Falls.

Mountainside Falls was a great location.
Not only was Mountainside Falls a great location for us to attend a family wedding, but also close to hikes that we were interested in taking. The pictures are a bit deceiving as the main floor isn’t as large as it appears. However, thee bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for us. Our family cooked all our meals on the property except the wedding night. We loved having access to a full kitchen and grill. My children loved the hot tub and billiards.

Disappointed
I had looked forward to this vacation for months with my 80 year old parents and their cockapoo as they had not been anywhere for an extended vacation since the pandemic. We were very disappointed with the inside and outside of this property. The pictures on the website make the main living area and kitchen to appear much more spacious than it was. The deck needs a good cleaning and power washing as well as updated cushions for the outside chairs. I called ahead of time to inquire about gates needed for the back deck to keep our dog contained and was told only needed on one side but there were not any gates. Therefore we couldn’t sit outside with Luna unless she was on the leash. Also, the fenced in area that is for your pet is horrible. No grassy areas, mainly gravel, dirt and wooded areas. Upon our arrival and disappointment I called to inquire about a different property or some financial compensation but was told we could move the next day but would still have to pay a cleaning fee for both properties and that the pictures were correct of the property. We stayed and made the best of it but will be much more cautious with any future rentals of any properties.

Ease of communication, could of been cleaner.
My family and I, plus two small dogs enjoyed our first visit to Helen. The location of the home was great, convenient to several close towns. We enjoyed the hot tub and pool table. Beds were comfortable and water heater stayed hot for all showers. Cons: we did have to kill several spiders and a few roaches in the house. My girls were afraid of roaches they saw on third floor closet. I wouldn't call the house clean, just tidied. Several cob webs around and bee problem on outdoor master side of house. The master tub was sandy when i got in. The first morning of our stay we really enjoyed cooking breakfast on the flat top griddle on the back deck, we left to go tubing (so fun) and when we got back two men were at the house replacing a broken grill and taking the flat top away. The next morning we had to cook indoors and there is no ventilation on the stove. The house is three stories but much smaller in person than the photos look. Must not be insulted well as every little sound can be heard on all floors. All in all I felt it to be a little pricey for the quality/cleanliness but my family did enjoy our visit to helen and we were not in the home much of the day.

Lovely and Perfect for our needs
We rented this house for my husband's birthday weekend with friends. It is a pet friendly place with a wonderful fenced in area where our mini aussiedoodle (and 2 year old) could run and play. The deck was absolutely wonderful. Our daughter road her little scooter around the wrap around porch and giggled the whole way. Of an evening, it was fantastic to sit on the deck or in the hot tub with the string lights lit. The house was as stated/pictured. It was clean upon arrival. The rooms were comfortable and we loved that we all had our own restrooms. We made breakfast one morning and dinner one night. They literally had anything and everything we could imagine, with the exception of a cookie sheet/baking pan. Otherwise, the house was perfect for our needs. We had 5 adults, one 2 year old, and a dog. We felt we had plenty of space. We visited Yonah Mountain Vineyards and spent the day in Helen, eating lunch at the Old Bavaria Inn & Restaurant.

2nd Stay - Great Location
This is our second stay at this property. It is very close to Helen which is why we returned. The cabin is a perfect size for a group of friends or a family. Everything was in working order. I would suggest a good spring cleaning. Cobwebs and dog hair galore. Also, the owners of the property may want to reinvest in some better cookware as the ones there are very worn out and everything sticks to the pans. We brought our own crockpot which saved us for a couple meals.

A dreamy experience overall. The only issue was the cleanliness. There was a large wad of hair on the floor of the bathroom shower, pans in the cabinet were dirty to include the floors (our socks were black). Spider webs really need to be cleaned on the windows. Other than the cleanliness we loved this rental so much that we are already talking about when to go back. This cabin offers a lot of amenities and we could not have enjoyed our stay more!!

Mountainside Falls Cabin
Google GPS directions were more straightforward than the directions provided by property mgmt. Once we got there the property was beautiful and the location was perfect to our venue. Cabin was convenient to Helen. We did have a roach problem. We killed 4 within the first hour of arriving. This caused me a great deal of anxiety as the large insects closely resembled the natural knotting in the cabin walls and ceilings. I felt like they were all around me. Sleep wasn't easy. The day before we left, property mgmt did send out an exterminator at my request. We were out at an excursion and when we returned the dishwasher was running which was odd. Unfortunately the roaches tainted what would have been a perfect getaway. When our children talk about the trip, the roaches are the first few items mentioned. They've never been around them in their lives. Roaches are just associated with filth whether it's accurate or not. I'm not happy with the amount of money we spent on the cabin given the disgust and anxiety the roaches induced in myself and my family. My overall rating really just reflects the roach factor. I'm sorry.

Nice cabin but it's dirty
The cabin was dirty. The stove top hadn't been wiped off, nor the kitchen table. The main floor bath was nasty. Who knows when the floor was cleaned last. There was something brown smeared down the front of the toilet. The toilet bowl started to change colors indicating to me it hadn't been scrubbed in a while. There is black mold in the shower. There was a lot of debris in the hot tub. There is dust and cobwebs everywhere. The cabin and hot tub would have been great if it had been clean. The roof leaked near the fireplace but it didn't really bother us that much.

We loved the property and the location. It was tucked away nicely and the rest of the neighborhood was to die for. My dogs loved going on walks and seeing the horses near by. The cabin itself was beautiful. The only negative thing I would say would be the cleanliness of the home. The kitchen cabinets were sticky and there was some hairs on the bed. The towels in the bathroom were very dusty and had hair on them as well. With the high ceilings there are a lot of spider webs up top. I understand that probably can't be vacuumed after every guest leaves, but I do think it should be taken care of at least once a month. It looks like the spider webs have been there awhile.

Cozy Cabin 💕
We stayed here for a long weekend with our mom for her birthday! The cabin is very cute and located in a Sleepy little neighborhood just outside Cleveland, GA. The property was clean and decorated in the county cabin theme. It is not far from Helen, GA (about 15 min car ride) and also close to lots of wineries and mountain trails. This owner allows for dogs to stay which was a plus as we had x2 small border collies that traveled with us. The cabin has x1 king room and x2 queen/full rooms. There is one room on each floor/level. Each room ha it’s own bath room. The only thing I would recommend if you are traveling to this property is to maybe bring a few extra towels as the ones provided are thin. The floors are also Not insulated so you will hear anything that drops on the floor or movement when some one walks on the floor above you (tip toe at night LOL). If you like to cook you will need to bring some sharp knives and seasonings. There are also not too many glasses (just a mish mash of random glasses and mugs). If you stay longer that am few days I recommend grabbing some extra trash bags and maybe a kitchen towels and dish sponge for dishes as you get very limited supply of those. Over all the cabin is SUPER cute, very clean and perfect for a mountain get away :)
