What Our Guests Are Saying

Doug G.

What a great place. We really enjoyed ourselves. The place looks just like the listing. It had everything we needed. Very very clean, the kitchen had plenty to cook meals. Very comfortable beds. We had 5 adults in our party and had plenty of room. We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck, going in the hot tub and sitting by the fire. Would highly recommend, everything was very close, downtown Helen only 8 minutes, great hikes all within 10 minutes. Lynette responded quickly her place is amazing.

Beverly R.

We found the Memory Maker to be a beautiful, cozy, well appointed cabin with all the comforts of home, as the host left no stones unturned. The amenities and special touches provided abound. It’s private, peaceful, and only 15 minutes from town. We’ve stayed in numerous Airbnbs and this is now one of our favorites.

David T.

This is a fantastic cabin! Very well appointed and comfortable, a lot of places to relax whether on the couch or the spacious wrap around porch or one of the fire pit areas or my favorite, the hot tub. Super comfortable king beds with spacious rooms upstairs, great water pressure for the showers. Great internet too, I imagine it must be fiber. The location is a quick 5 minute drive to Helen and very close to a main road, but you would never know it as you are completely engulfed in the woods with nothing but green trees all around you. Very private and peaceful. We loved our stay and definitely recommend!

Tommi W.

Amazing experience!! Freedom Finder Cabin in Helen is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the Helen, GA area. I've rented many homes and this was by far, one of the cleanest and well-equipped homes I've ever rented. Lynette went above and beyond to anticipate anything a renter would want with swings and rocking chairs on the beautiful patio, two firepit areas with easy to access lights and beautiful hot tub area. The inside had every possible kitchen small appliance you could ever want. We had such fun playing the Helenopoly game provided. We brought our pooch and Lynette had special furniture covers and towels so we could keep the cabin clean and still allow our furry pal to enjoy the time. We would love to come back if we come back to the area.

Kelly B.

The cabin was exactly what I wanted for our family vacation. I have two small children and it was absolutely perfect. This was by far our favorite vacation we’ve taken as a family since my son was born. Five stars and would love to come back!

Cheryl P.

What a wonderful house for our group of friends to stay in! The house is exactly as pictured. The owner anticipated every need we might have had and furnished everything we needed to have a great 4 night stay. I would highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone looking to stay close to the Helen, GA area.

Mandy H.

The cabin was perfect for our stay! It was extremely clean & well maintained. They provided so many little extras. We will definitely stay here again!

Joe W.

Our family vacation was wonderful, with a huge thanks due to this property. It met all our expectations and we had a lovely stay. Highly recommend others to choose this.
