Beautiful spot

Excellent location with lots of opportunity to take in birdwatching from porch or hot tub, fishing on the creek, grilling on the porch. We thoroughly enjoyed our drives to Grayson Highlands and Lansing and just exploring the beautiful area.

Beautiful Location

Had a great weekend with friends. Location is beautiful overlooking the water. Hot tub was just what we needed after a trip on the Virginia creeper. We chose to cook every meal there and enjoy the surroundings and amenities. Plan to come back with our kids on our next trip to the area.

Great stay on High on Helton

The cabin was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Although the driveway was described as steep, and it was, it was drivable and walkable. The property overlooks the creek below and was relaxing to listen to while we sat on the deck.

My stay

The beds were extremely comfortable, unlike most rental locations. The hot tub did a great job of helping unwind. I honestly expected more fish, but overall we had a great time. The only problem we encountered was buying beer, you should definitely do so before you get there

Perfect Mountain Escape

We were looking for a quiet getaway and could not have found a more perfect place! The cabin was exactly as shown. All amenities were wonderful! Comfy beds, plenty of room and beyond peaceful listening to the sounds of the creek. We had to call for a fan problem with the fridge. It was taken care of immediately....even on a holiday weekend. Definitely want to come back

Fantastic stay by the river

This property is very isolated and we deeply enjoyed listening to the river, the rain, and all the birds in the trees surrounding it. If you're into fishing, it looks like this would be a great spot! Otherwise, it's a fantastic house, with great decks and rec-room in a great location. Bugs aren't an issue, as I was worried they might be (being in the trees and so close to the river). The AC window unit also kept up well and the basement stays very cool on its own (although I would expect to stay a bit warmer during the height of summer, if that's an issue).

What a find!

We had a wonderful time at High on Helton. The cabin was so clean and had all of the amenities and fun extra perks like the pool table, board games and hot tub. Gas cooking- inside and out- was a plus. The deck overlooking the creek was hit with bright sun in the morning and a perfect spot to drink coffee despite the cooler morning temps. Shady in the evening and a fun spot for happy hour. The creek and whole general area was just beautiful. Outside of the cabin, we recommend the hiking trails on Mt Jefferson and a trail ride at Burnt Hill Stables- both a little over 30 minutes from the cabin. We will definitely be back.

Great Getaway

We take all our kids and all our nephews every year on a trip for their Christmas gift. This place was so much fun. The kids were never bored at all with the hot tub, game room, fire pit and river at the back door. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The only thing I have to complain about was someone threaten to call the law on us for noise and we were not even being loud and the neighbors are not close at all. You could compare how loud we were to guys watching a football game. Also there were fisherman walking all on the property to get to the river and once I found them sitting at the fire pit. That made us very cautious with letting the kids have complete free range. Other then those 2 things, we hope to visit again and would definitely recommend this quaint little house to others. 1 more thing I would recommend taking a truck if you have one. Most of the roads are gravel.

Nice private home to relax

The property is a nice home and seems well suited for a family of 5 (Living Room only accommodates 5 people). The home is adjacent to a babbling creek and a place to hang by the water. The kitchen is well used and could use a deep cleaning (discovered a bag of weed in the utensil drawer). Kitchen has adequate plates and pots, but no baking dishes. The single window air condition seemed to cool the main floor ok as long as the 2nd floor bedroom door was closed. The addition of a central HVAC system would be a plus to remove the moisture in the house, especially from the basement. New fresh smelling towel would be a plus. This property is out of the way and is about 1 hour to Damascus or 1.5 hours to Boone, but very close to lots of fishing. Though I was concerned with the inadequate HVAC for the August temperatures, we had a good time at the house and found the hot tub refreshing after activities. A few minor rental updates would make this place wonderful. One note: There are cameras outside and inside the property.

About as nice as it gets

Everything there is pretty wonderful. The hot tub is great, the creek is serene, and having the grill hooked up to a gas line instead of needing a propane tank is fantastic (our last cabin stay ran out, the place to refill was over an hour away). The only improvements they could work on is cleaning up the webbing on the deck more and leaving some clear indication of where their breaker box is hidden. I know spiders will keep making more regardless, but you could tell that no one had bothered with those webs in some time. The billiards room didn't have power to the outlets and the hot-tub patio didn't have lights because of flipped switch, we were out of luck during the weekend as we received no response until Monday about where to find the breaker box. The breaker box is in the ground-floor bedroom hidden behind the bed, behind the curtains, to the right for anyone's future need.

Clarifications

4 wheel drive was needed to go up wet driveway in July. Only AC was a window unit on the third floor. Creek access was farther than expected.
