This Georgia retreat has it all! Listen to Wildcat Creek babbling right nearby, relax on the screened porch with a glass of lemonade, or explore some of this property's two-and-a-half wooded acres. Appealing to families and lovers of the great outdoors (Chattahoochee National Forest borders the property), this Clarkesville cabin is sure to please.

Up to eight guests will love staying here, far from the hustle and bustle but surrounded by plenty of things to do. Back home, bring your catch of the day to the grill on the lower deck, or put the well-stocked full kitchen and its gas stove to work. You can dine in the fresh air out on the porch or in the warmth and comfort of this cabin's contemporary interior. The wood-burning fireplace will keep you toasty during your stay, and free WiFi, cable TV, and a DVD player will keep the whole group entertained. And for a fun change of pace, head to the lower-level game room for air hockey or darts.

What's nearby:
If you're up for some fishing, you don't need to step more than a few paces from your door for trout in the creek, (but please note that a fishing license and separate trout license required). If you travel a bit further down West Wildcat Road, you'll see many waterfalls along the way, and just a half-mile from the cabin is Sliding Rock, a favorite local spot in the summer. You'll also be just a mile-and-a-half from beautiful Lake Burton with its freshwater fishing and boat rentals and docks.

Things to know:
Game room w/ game table, dartboard, flatscreen TV, and air hockey table

Fun right outside your door!
This place is literally in the middle of nowhere and we loved it! Honestly I thought I was going the wrong way because it’s a narrow dirt road and the house is pretty far down. We had a wide age and this place worked perfectly. The littlest could walk down to the creek right behind the house and have a perfect place to play. While the older teens and adults could explore just about anywhere they turned! There were lots of cars parking on the road in front of the house and all the way down to the party going to sliding rock. The hike to sliding rock is easy and gorgeous! Loved the house and location. Would say there could be so improvements but nothing too major. It also may time to schedule a deep clean.

Great place, but the bugs!
We rented this cabin for our group of 7 people. We traveled with 4 kids under the age of 16 and 3 adults. The cabin was the perfect size for the group. We placed the adults upstairs and the kids downstairs and everybody was happy. The beds were very comfortable and the linens were clean. Overall the house was clean and there were no issues with the cleanliness of the bathrooms and kitchen. Slide rock is about a half mile hike up from the cabin and the kids loved that place. It was an easy hike on a well kept dirt road. The road to the cabin was well maintained and we really felt like we had that part of the mountain to ourselves. The stream in the back was great for the kids to play and explore within shouting distance of the porch. The grill was clean and we grilled out a few of the nights while there. Helen was only 30 minutes away so finding things to do away from the cabin was also easy. I can honestly say the only issue we had was with the bugs. There were tons of fruit flies and just other bugs that a person usually finds outdoors inside the living areas. We did not call Vacasa and complain about this because we felt there was nothing that could be done while we were staying there. It was obvious that they were aware of the bug problem because there were bug traps in almost every room. I can say we would probably stay here again, but bring our own bug spray and fly catchers. The bugs could be due to the wilderness outside, so we did try to take that into consideration.

Beautiful location/mixed review
The pros. Everyone felt they had their space and separation. It is very private and the creek behind the home is beautiful! A short walk down the road is waterfalls and just a gorgeous walk and play area. The down side. The code for check in didn’t work but the back door was unlocked which was uncomfortable. They request no shoes in the house and we tried, but the floors were so dirty we couldn’t stand it. Lots of dead bugs. Stove wasn’t cleaned. Smashed bugs and drips on the walls and a load of wet towels in the dryer that we found three days in. There are spiders everywhere we killed 4-5 every day. Some were brown recluse which is concerning. We found a previous visitors wallet in a drawer with the cleaners check list. Several lights in the house didn’t work. We contacted VaCasa with our concerns. They refunded us our cleaning fee and we appreciated it.

Fun and semi-secluded
The home was relaxing and private. There is a trail or something just passed the house so there is some traffic throughout the day. You can open the double doors right off the dining/kitchen area to listen to the creek and have fresh air. The home has plenty of space for four adults and three kids. The downstairs was humid and I agree with the other comments that the property management is lacking. The housekeeping didn’t clean and sanitize the home, the oven knobs were grimey, and the home did not have an overall clean feeling. The backyard did smell like sewage. Customer service is great though. We had issues with the code to get into the time and they fixed the issue rather quickly.

New favorite spot
My husband and i came up for the weekend to celebrate my son's birthday with his wife and 18 month old sassy grand daughter. The "must have" on his request was a nearby creek. This place definitely checked that box, and many others. We are already planning another, extended stay at Catnip II, with the rest of the kids. To give an honest review, I feel I must mention that the dishwasher is in GREAT NEED of a thorough cleaning! And, we stayed just 2 nights and did NOT put anything in the commodes other than toilet paper, but.. septic system MAJOR issues morning we were leaving. As in....tub downstairs full of upstairs toilet contents. And, it would have been nice to be able to use the proper grill the second night, but, it ran out. So, I'm really hoping the septic issue isn't a recurring thing, as we will have more people in our party next time, and plan on staying longer. We couldn't spend much time in game room, too cold. Needs another heating source down there, and need more seating upstairs.

Cute Property
My husband and I stayed here for a short 2 night getaway. The property was just as described. It was a little scary getting there later at night because we were all alone, but we were fine. We enjoyed driving into Helen for the day as well.
