Great for Family of 5 and close to Helen.
Just wanted to relax. Had a couple of day trips into Helen and a day at Unicoi State Park. The pool table really kept the kids/teenagers busy. Outdoor fire pit was awsome!

Marilee Cottage
This was a great cabin to stay in while we were exploring Helen. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Except for a hair dryer...bring one if you stay here. It was close to town and the state park, but felt secluded. The pool table was great entertainment for my kids while we waited out the rain. Definitely recommend!

March stay.
Totally enjoy our time at this property, it was a little smaller than what's advertised, but the time spent there was outstanding. We had an issue with the driveway, due to the type of vehicle we drive. It's definitely not sports car friendly. We had to be very careful not to get stuck in the ditches that leads to the front door.

Quant place perfectly furnished and close to Helen
This property is simple and cute. Three main rooms in the building, with one being for a couple and the other being a bed and a bunk bed with a bathroom... probably better for kids or a close family. The main room has a small table (which could be bigger), a pool table, and a fireplace with a TV. The main area is a little tight but workable. Luckily there is an awesome screened-in porch with a swing, table, and grill perfect for outdoor morning coffee or morning grill. Instructions and information were on the fridge, and the communication was spectacular. This cabin is close to about three other cabins (separated by 50-100 feet of woods and a tree line), so if you are looking for loud noise privacy in Winter (I am not here to judge just say'in), this isn't the place, but otherwise, this place is perfect.

Secluded but close
House was secluded and private a little hard to find at night. It was close enough to Helen that you didn’t have to far of a drive but you could distance yourself from traffic. House was very comfortable but had a few cleanliness issues not bad. Plenty of room, big bedrooms and bathrooms, loved the pool table. If you plan to cook bring everything with you no stores close by to run to. I give it 4 stars because beds and living room were very comfortable.

Quiet secluded cottage
PROS: Overall enjoyed our stay; the cottage was nice; bed was comfortable; pillows fair; nice thick towels; well-equipped kitchen; enjoyed the screened-in porch and pool table; and fire pit—CONS: poor housekeeping; had to clean kitchen counters, bath vanity, and toilet seat; pre-wash dishes, clean porch chairs and grill of caked dust and pollen. Grit on floors; dusty shelves. No hair dryer or shampoo (stated in amenities). After cleaning, we relaxed and enjoyed our stay. Hope to get a refund for the cleaning fee???

Place was great with one exception
Everything at the cabin was great. It was very clean, accommodating, well stocked with dishes, etc. One big problem was: no or very difficult internet. We had maintenance come out to help but they were not familiar with dish internet. They managed to get it limping along but the internet system needs to seriously be replaced. Neither myself or my friend could get phone signal. We are both elderly and not in good health. It felt unsafe not having a way to call someone. Other than that, we would stay there again and again. The rental office was exceptionally helpful.
