Barndominium near Helen - Pickleball and More!
Summary: Welcome to The Helen Barn at Bison View Lodge!
PLEASE NOTE: YOU MUST BE 28 YEARS OLD OR OLDER TO BOOK BISON VIEW LODGE PLEASE REACH OUT WITH QUESTIONS.
Stargaze under the ultra dark North Georgia sky where on a clear night you can see the Milky Way with the naked eye. Located just 5 miles to Downtown Helen, Georgia's #1 Tourist City. This ultra cool barn is the perfect unique experience. Your neighbor is none other than hundreds of acres of pristine US Forest.
It boasts 3 bedrooms, each with their own full bathroom, and will sleep up to 12 people. 2 bedrooms are upstairs. There is one a bedroom and bath on the main level. The main floor bathroom has a queen bed.
Let's talk cleaning for a minute...Did you know that most cabin owners in Georgia don't wash the blankets on the bed every time a new guest comes? Isn't that disgusting? How do we know? We asked dozens of cleaners over the past few months and that's what they told us. At Bison Lodge, we launder all the linens, including bed blankets every single time we change over guests.
We use a commercial laundry service that cleans with exceptionally hot water to make sure your linens and blankets are beautiful, soft, and most importantly very clean. We also use high quality Alen air purifiers that take dust out of the air. We have the best air quality in the mountains! We know our cleaning fee is high, and that's why, we want our cleaners and laundry service doing a great job for you.
THINGS TO DO IN HELEN:
We feel we have the best location in North Georgia. Just 15 minutes to Georgia's #1 visited resort town - the Alpine Village known as Helen. Tube the "Hooch" as they say or eat some great food in town. There's even a roller coaster in Helen. Helen is also home to a genuine Alpine Octoberfest from September to November.
If you want something a little more sophisticated consider a Georgia Winery tour along Georgia's Winery Highway.
Rent a boat, jet ski, or other watercraft on Lake Chatuge, just a 20-25 minute drive from the lodge.
The hiking and waterfalls in this part of Georgia are some of the nation's best and you don't want to miss the Ana Ruby Falls. There are numerous other waterfalls to find in this area as well. The Appalachian Trail runs over the very mountain you will be staying on.
Bring your ATV or 4x4 and explore many of the area's off-road adventures.
All roads leading to the cabin are paved with the exception of the last 2.8 miles. You will travel a gravel road maintained by the US Forestry Service. When traveling this road, you may encounter potholes and ruts from mountain water runoff. We have personally driven our own standard passenger cars on the gravel road, but in accordance with the US Forestry Service, Bison View Lodge LLC recommends that only trucks and higher clearance vehicles (SUV’s for example) travel the road.

Incredible. Terry was a great host who has a really special home. He was also top notch at communicating with us the entire week we were there. Helen is a very fun place to visit. I hope to return some day.
It was the coldest week this area has seen in a long time, Terry did a great job driving from a distance to help keep us warm. The drive in is somewhat less than desirable but it worked with a bigger vehicle. The barn was clean and the views were memorable.
Once you get up the dirt road it was like the doors to Heaven. Everything was soo beautiful. We had a fantastic time. The cabin was a close distance to the city in Helen. Everything was self explanatory at the cabin. The owners responded to all of my questions. We will definitely come back to visit this cabin again.
If you are looking for an absolutely beautiful property hosted by the nicest people you ever want to work with, you have found it! The Bison View Lodge is spectacular in every possible way. We booked both the Lodge and the Barn for an extended family weekend trip planned so my son could propose. The Lodge has an incredible view of the mountains, and the deck is just perfect for hosting. The Lodge layout allows many people to stay without feeling crowded. The Barn was perfectly suited to the younger married couples in our group, with additional beds in the second floor rooms to accommodate both parents and children in the same room. The parents loved the tiki bar, and the children loved the arcade and huge television. As rental property owners ourselves, we cannot recommend this place highly enough. You will not be disappointed.
We had the best time! The barn was absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed. My kids had a blast playing with the arcade games. We hope to visit again!! Thank you 😊
