Location is only an easy, 10 minute drive from downtown Helen, so it was nice to be able to stay close without it having to be in town. Area is quiet, with the exception of some road noise, but not enough to be bothersome. We used the fireplace every night and the hot tub a couple of times. There isn't much of a view to speak of; the back deck is lined with trees, there's a neighboring cabin a short distance away, and in the front of the cabin your view is a junk-heap of a backyard of a residence (however, you can't fault the cabin owners for that.) We used the cabin for a place to sleep mostly as we were gone all day most days, but it definitely served it's purpose as a quiet retreat for our Anniversary trip. There were a couple of areas the cleaners are missing pretty consistently: dusty bathroom fixtures, cupholders of couches were dirty, and we found what we think was a petrified biscuit in the couch. Aesthetically, I'd update the pictures hanging on the walls, they don't do anything for the cabin, especially since one is a picture of the beach. I'd also recommend a big throw rug in front of the fireplace and runners in the dining room and kitchen to protect the pretty wood floors. But again, those are just cosmetic things, didn't affect our stay. Be aware that heat rises, because it got really hot upstairs, especially with the fireplace on. Overall we were pleased with our stay, and thankfully the downstairs bed was comfy. (We didn't use the upstairs one.)
