A hidden gem

My summary is that this home was perfect for us. Everything we needed was provided. This place is so quiet, all you heard are the birds. You are close to water falls, Helen, Cleveland and the country side if you just want to sightsee.

Anniversary Trip

Repeat visit to Mountain Laurel Chalet/Sautee/Helen for anniversary. Awesome area with lots to do. Mountain Laurel Chalet is a great “home away from home”, and the owner is extremely nice, accommodating, and excellent with communication.

Great place!

I spent some quality time at this beautiful place. It is maintained very well. The owners are extremely dedicated to providing an excellent experience for their guests. The location, the serenity ... I could go on and on, but suffice it to say that you will not be disappointed!

Beautiful and Great Location

The moment you walk in the door you know you are home. It was lovely, clean, welcoming, convenient, and a perfect fit for our sibling weekend. We loved the home and encourage everyone to stay there. it was also really close to all of Helen activities. The drive was simple and short to anything you wanted to do.

Great visit

The cabin was very comfortable. The owner adds in little things like dishwashing soap, laundry detergent, garbage bags...nice touch. It's close to most things except a decent grocery store so recommend stopping on your way into town. The activities that surround the area are all family friendly...hiking, tubing, zip lining, etc. All fun stuff! The owner was very friendly & easy to work with. We ended up wanting to stay an extra day, didn't want to leave!

Chalet in the Woods

We are 4 seasoned citizens who found the chalet/cabin roomy, cozy and comfortable for a 4 night stay. We were disappointed not to spot any wildlife around the chalet. The stairs required to reach the front door was a challenge for one of our companions as she has COPD and a disabled knee. Also an elevated stool or platform would be helpful for children and older individuals to access the hot tub. The hot tub was fabulous...hate anyone to miss experiencing it. Having a kitchen so fully equipped was a plus. We appreciated the starter coffee and paper products our first morning. This allowed us to wait until the next day to shop. Everything was clean and in working order. The additional balconies are wonderful to welcome the morning on. The pictures do represent it accurately! Note: The owner promptly responded to all email questions. Steve even sent us a great guide to the area restaurants and attractions. Would definitely rent again.

Amazing Stay!

This chalet was better than we could have imagined. The location is ideal. It is absolutely beautiful. It is rustic, but not too rustic, for a girl who loves the Westin Brand of accommodations. I was looking for a rustic experience, with relaxing vacation amenities. I was pleasantly surprised. This vacation house exceeded my expectations. The fireplace was great. I would suggest that you bring "Fat-lighter" wood to start it. The wood outside seems a little wet in the fall. The Hot tub was a treat. We enjoyed it every night with a glass of wine. The temperature was set at like 93 degrees. So if you like it hot, I would suggest you set it to at least 100 degrees upon your arrival. This way, its ready for you at all times. It was extremely relaxing to snuggle next to the cozy fireplace, then go outside in the chilly fall nights and soak in the hot tub. The kitchen is nice. Very basic. But that's to be expected. It was perfect for my honey to cook for me everyday that we were there. The bed was comfortable. We enjoyed it ;) Helen was only about 5-10 minutes away. The location is ideal. The owner Steve was amazing. He is super friendly and accommodating. Things to do: ZipnTime-Ziplining was a ball Anna Ruby Falls was absolutely Stunning Brasstown Bald was beautiful. We could see the Atlanta Skyline. Big Daddy's restaurant behind Best Western in Helen was the best hot wings that I've ever had in my life. Perfect Place for a romantic retreat or family vacation.

Will be coming back!

We loved this chalet! The pictures do not do it justice! The hot tub was huge, the upstairs was adorable and the red heater was spectacular! They provide a packnplay which was perfect because we forgot ours. The communication was above and beyond. We will be coming back next year for sure!

10 Acres? Where?

We arrived late Friday night. Upon arrival we noticed no one had swept the massive amount of leaves. With it being dark and wet, we definitely could have fallen very easily. My husband spent Saturday morning sweeping the deck, stairs, and hot tub area. We were expecting a very quiet, weekend. While we did get that, we also had neighbors we could hear. Very clearly. With the listing advertising 10+ acres we were absolutely not expecting that. We unfortunately could not figure out how to turn the heat on downstairs. It was pretty chilly in the mornings. The fireplace was absolutely needed & they supplied wood. The TV in the living room has been updated since the last pictures. This did not affect us, however, there is no TV in the two bedrooms on the main floor. Only the master. The master bed was decently comfortable. The house was moderately cleaned. I would definitely suggest looking everywhere when cleaning. We found someone’s entire retainer under the bed….. We did not need them, but as a parent I was extremely thankful to see they had a high chair, a booster seat, kids books, kids movies, a few games, and even a pack n play! Definitely some hidden bonuses! The drive in to the cabin is gorgeous. Definitely in fall, the leaves are changing and it’s beautiful. Overall the stay was okay. I would not book here again though.

Nice cabin for our family of 5

This is a beautiful cabin has everything you may need for your stay. We had two adults and three teenagers and there was plenty of room. It is located century to hiking,Helen, and Ruby falls. If I had to suggest anything it would be probably to upgrade the TVs and maybe put a TV in the two spare bedrooms there is a TV in the master bedroom but not the other two bedrooms not that this was a big problem at all (except for my 16 18 year old lol) the property manager Steve was super easy to communicate with and even though we really didn't have any problems I felt very comfortable if we did he would have took care of it pretty quickly.

Peaceful get away

This property was great for our family. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck, listened to all the birds and enjoyed the fall colors. Spent time in the hot tub everyday.

Beautiful and cozy cabin

The cabin is even prettier than the pictures. We loved the remote location and the quiet beauty of the woods. We thoroughly enjoyed having a fire in the wood stove each night. The kitchen is not large but was sufficient for our needs. We brought a group of six women for a prayer retreat and the table and living room were perfect for our size group. The king size bed upstairs was very comfortable. Some of the women said the queen size beds downstairs were a little hard. Everyone agreed that the cabin was very comfortable and pleasant in general. We never did find a firepit, though. Maybe we misunderstood the listing. The hot tub is outside and looks beautiful, but we enjoyed the wood stove so much we never got in the hot tub. I would stay here again.

Fantastic home in a great location

We stayed at the Mount Laurel Chalet for 10 days in July 2023. We came to Georgia to hike in the Chattahoochee National Forest and surrounding areas. This home location was ideal for the hiking we had planned. The town of Helen is very close. If you enjoy spending time in a tourist location this is the town. We shopped at Betty’s and ate at the house most of our trip. However, Helen offers many restaurants/bars, there’s tubing in the town as well as other activities. Overall, this was an ideal home for us and we loved the hot tub after a long day of hiking!

Wonderful Retreat

Cute, quaint little cabin in the woods. With everything you need for a relaxing retreat in the woods with all the comforts of home. Steve is a friendly host, and was quick to respond to accommodate all our needs. We had a comfortable stay, and the hot tub is great after a long day of hiking. Just keep in mind the cabin is a bit off the beaten path so if you're more of a city slicker be advised. But makes for quiet and peaceful get away from reality. Definitely would stay again!

Pictures don't do it justice

The pictures on vrbo made the home seem smaller than it really is. Coming up the driveway to the home took our breath away. The stairs to the front door was hard for my 83 year old mom. But even she could not stop raving over how wonderful the home was. The whole house is bigger than we thought it would be, very well equipped, and the hot tub was the perfect way to end the day after the wedding and reception we attended this weekend. The beds were comfortable and the whole hose cozy. Wish we had more time to just hang out there to relax.
