A Beautiful Mountain Getaway

My family of 4 absolutely loved Bigfoot Bluff. It's quite secluded and that was exactly what we were hoping for. It's central to so many good hikes and things to do. We loved the hot tub and fire pit!

We enjoyed our time at this cabin. The check-in/out process was easy. The cabin had all the necessities. It was super clean and more than what we expected.We enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub, but I really enjoyed sitting in front of the gas logs.

Peaceful

This cabin was super cute, quiet, and peaceful! It was very clean and well kept. We only stayed for a couple days, but wished we could have stayed longer! It it very convenient to beautiful hiking trails and of course the cute town of Helen. Would definitely recommend this property! I’m hoping to bring my whole family back next time!

Just what we were looking for

Perfect little cabin for a family recharge. Jacuzzi was a treat and we also loved making s’mores at the firepit. Only “complaint” is that every sound upstairs carried through the whole house, but that’s just part of the cabin experience.

Private/Secluded

The cabin was even better than the description. Extremely quiet and secluded with the National Forest in your back yard. The cabin is situated 15 minutes south of Blairsville and only 30 minutes NW of Helen. Lots of hiking, waterfalls and general outdoor fun just off your steps!

Cabin was nice. Watch your step is very steep. Bring extra toilet paper. Very peaceful. All good except dog pen somewhere that you can smell.

True cabin experience

The location was convenient to many of the parks and local attractions in North Georgia. The setting isn't secluded but is very private. The layout and decor of the cabin provides a very cozy, warm experience with plenty of room for 4 adult guests without feeling cramped. Vacasa was very easy to work with and very responsive.

A taste of tranquility but not complete solitude.

Loved staying in this cabin, it's always nice to just get away from the hustle and bustle and sounds of Atlanta and spend time in nature. We had a small scare, the neighbors down the way popped some fireworks so it's not *complete* solitude but I think that makes it a nice plus for anyone who doesn't wanna be *too* far away.

Perfect stay for our daughters birthday!

We had a great stay! Cabin has everything you need. The hot tub was already warm when we got there, our girls immediately got in and loved it. The space was perfect for the 4 of us. The communication was probably the best we've ever had with renting. Vacassa was in contact and very informative throughout our stay! One small note, the driveway up is pretty steep. Wasn't a problem for us with our truck, but feel it is something nice to know ahead of time 😊

Cozy stay on the mountains

Great 3 night stay. The driveway is steep but not as scary as a lot of the comments make it sound. Lots of stairs and up and downs if that's a problem for you - it wasn't for us. The hot tub was nice and clean for an older hot tub. Hope you're not afraid of dogs as you will get daily visits from random dogs at the front door and campfire. The cabin was nice and cozy. Housekeeping could have done a little better as there were beer caps and random trash throughout the porch and property. It is a cozy property and a great place to make memories with friends and family. The cabin had toiletries and a fully stocked kitchen if you decide to stay in and cook. I really wish there were blinds on the front and back door for privacy. It looks like there was at one time but you can see straight in and out at night. The wooden pull downs on the other windows didn't offer much privacy as you could see through them inside and outside at night as well. The views are nice but more on the woodsy vibe. It is 7 minutes away from beautiful overview stop off where you can see the sunrise over the mountains. I would highly recommend to do that. We had a great stay and would recommend this cabin.

Almost Perfect

The property is as advertised: wooden floors, gas fireplace, comfortable bedding, functional AC/heat, clean hot tub, and outdoor firepit. The reason I titled this review “almost perfect” is for 2, albeit minor, reasons. 1) The inside of the property was very clean, but there were 4 small green bags left on the back patio full of old dog poop. It made for a nice laugh, but other guests may find it gross. Hopefully this review will serve as a reminder to the cleaning crew to double check the patio. 2) It’s a pretty steep incline going up to the property. Thankfully the main road (Papas Mountain Rd) is paved, but some gravel from the property’s driveway had spilled onto the road and resulted in some uneasy arrivals. Another thing to note, you will have to take Richard Russell Scenic Highway in order to get to Helen. This is an extremely curvy road with steep drops on the sides and lots of up and down. It is beautiful when the weather is nice, but rather intense when the weather is bad. Keep that in mind when picking a vehicle for your trip. My 2019 Toyota 4Runner had no issues.

Quiet location near kid-friendly Helton Falls swimming holes. Well kitted out, cheerful decor, nice amenities (fireplace, outdoor fire pit, hot tub, porches). Host is somewhat "corporate" - boiler-plate emails - but responsive to questions. A nice stay, thanks!
