Desirable Cabin Located Just a Short Distance to Downtown Helen!

Alemaigne Haus Cabin is a family built home and is located within the city limits of Helen on 1 and 1/2 acres only a couple of blocks from the Helen Water Park, and the Valhalla Golf Resort. The new Helen to Hardman Hiking Trail is just around the corner. The cabin is only a three-minute drive to downtown Helen, or a 15-minute walk.

You'll love sitting on one of the two covered porches while listening to the sounds of a small creek in the back yard. You might see wild turkeys walking through the yard, and on occasion several deer.

The Alemaigne Haus features two large bedrooms upstairs with a king size bed in the master and a queen size bed in the second bedroom, 26" LCD flat screen TV's, and a private full bath in each bedroom. The living room has a 55" LCD flat screen TV for your enjoyment and also free WI-FI service is provided. Enjoy a romantic electric fireplace, a reclining sofa, and beautiful bamboo hardwood floors. You'll also enjoy the sunroom with large picturesque windows with a beautiful view of the forest out back. The sunroom and all bathrooms have ceramic tile floors. There's also a sitting room with a 32" flat screen LED TV with a PlayStation 2 for the kids to enjoy.

Have your morning cup of coffee at the breakfast island in the beautiful fully equipped kitchen. There's also a large full bath with a double vanity and a separate laundry room on the main level. We provide laundry detergent and fabric softner sheets.

If you want the feeling of seclusion, but want to be close to all of Helen's activities, then this is the place for you.

An outside camera is in place on the front and side porches facing the driveway for your protection and ours.

The cabin is less than a mile from downtown Helen, and has paved road access. Some of our guests like walking to town, which takes approximately 15 or 20 minutes, or if you prefer to drive, it takes only three minutes and there's an all-day parking lot in town.

Stay at our cabin and you'll be glad you did. We hope that you will come again and again!

Privately Owned: This cabin is privately owned, and as owners, we also manage it ourselves unlike others that are managed by a management company. As owners, we want every guest to be as comfortable as possible and to enjoy their stay.

We also provide maps, a travel guide, flyers of local attractions, and local restaurant menus for your convenience. We are never too far away if needed. Unlike property management companies, we take pride in our cabin, provide personal touches, and we want our guests to enjoy it as much as we do.

A signed Rental Agreement must be received within 24 hours of booking or access will not be granted on arrival day. We have a maximum stay limit of 14 nights. We will text or email you the door access code on the day of arrival.

Birthday Getaway Feb 2021

From arriving until the moment we left, it was a great experience. We loved the property and it was very clean. Everything you need is already there. Local country store in town has good selection of fresh food, groceries or extra firewood if needed. We recommend the mountain coaster, it’s so much fun! Can’t wait until our next visit and stay here again. - The Smiley’s

Wonderful

The cabin had everything we needed. The owners Terry and Gary personally met and welcomed us to their beautiful cabin. It was our anniversary and they even gave us a bottle of wine. After days of hiking and wine tasting we enjoyed sitting on the deck and grilling. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds and other furniture were very comfortable. Can't say enough good things about this cabin.

Clean, convenient & spacious

This house was very clean & organized & had a home-away-from-home feel about it. You can tell the owners take good care of their home. The location was very convenient to Helen & restaurants, etc. The only negative aspect about the sleeping arrangements, is the king mattress was very firm & somewhat uncomfortable, I might suggest adding a nice memory foam topper to it. Other than that the place was really nice & we definitely will there again.

Beautifully appointed cabin in Helen

In my 45 years of travels I have not stayed at a cleaner, better maintained, and well appointed residence. Hands down, the best yet. Not one thing can I complain about with this property. Owners met us at checking and showed the property and we felt at home the entire week. So clean and decorated wonderfully. Great internet, furnishings, view, quiet, clean, very close to downtown but seems miles away when on the deck. I could go on but instead I’ll end with, I highly recommend it!

Fantastic Cabin and location

This cabin was absolutely beautiful, well equipped, clean and up to date. Just needed our clothes, toothbrush and food. Terry/Gary supply everything you could possibly need for entertaining and relaxing inside as well as outside, and everything is supplied for cooking and serving. I highly recommend. We are looking forward to our trip to this cabin again, even though March is not the best time of year for Helen Ga. but if you want a quite relaxing time, March is perfect. One of the best rentals we've experienced using Vrbo. Thank you Terry/Gard, great host and very responsive. The 3 sisters Diane/Brenda/Kathy

Relaxing and refreshing!

Exceptional cabin close to town but makes you feel like you are "far away" from the hustle and bustle of every day life. My favorite part is being able to hear the creek waters flow by from the comfort of the cabin. I loved being able to walk to town and the owners have every amenity ready when you get there, from dishes, towels and soap and so much more. It's so nice to not have to run to the store as soon as you check in!. Just to note: if there are elderly people in your group or those with some physical limitations there is one big hill that you have to conquer on the walk to town but other than that, it's an easy walk:) I highly recommend this cabin and it's owners and would happily stay again! Would be awesome for a sisters get away!

Christmas Getaway

My bestie and I wanted to go somewhere for Christmas week and we could not have picked a better place! This cabin was PERFECT! It's location is a short walk to town but far enough away that it was peaceful and quiet sitting on the deck. The house itself is VERY clean and beautifully decorated. The wood burning fireplace was a treat and we used it every night! The kitchen is fully equipped and was a pleasure to cook in. It was just me and my friend but there is plenty of room to spread out if there are more people in your group. Nice bedrooms with comfy beds and large closets. Terry and Gary have thought of everything you could possibly need and were very friendly. If you are visiting Helen GA, I highly recommend this cabin! Thank you Terry and Gary, it was a pleasure to stay here and we are looking forward to coming back!

Alemaigne Haus Bright Spacious Cabin in Helen, GA

The Alemaigne Haus cabin was very clean and beautifully decorated. Staying at the cabin felt like home. There were only 3 of us but 3 more people would have fit comfortably. Internet/WiFi was available with a great connection. Many extras such as extra pillows, blankets, large closets, very open space, grill and large deck space. You could just chill out in the sun room or sit outside on the porch and enjoy all the nature surrounding you. There are also lots of activities in or close to Helen, GA. We went horse back riding, mining for gold and gems, played mini golf, went tubing, shopping in Helen and Dahlonega. There are some water falls and a state park close by which are very nice too. Terry and Gary welcomed us and answered any questions we had and then left us alone to unpack. They know the area well so they can let you know what the closest and best places are for activities...etc. So glad we were able to rent this very nice cabin. We had a great time!!
