Chimney Mountain Chalet

Chimney Mountain Chalet was perfect for our first trip to Helen, Georgia. The cabin had a wonderful panoramic view that can be enjoyed throughout most of the living space. Our dog had fun looking out for wildlife. The huge master bath has a soothing rain shower. There was a front deck to enjoy the sunrise and a rear deck with a hot tub for relaxing during sunset. The driveway up can be intimidating at first but safe and very manageable. Lastly, the best part is the location which is close to Unicoi State Park and downtown Helen.

Had a wonderful experience. Loved looking out the windows to the beautiful picturesque views.

Great experience. Everything was clean and welcoming. Property looked as it did online, if not better. Lots to do and take advantage of. I just wish we had more time to enjoy it. The dogs loved it too!

The house and area were everything we were looking for in a long weekend getaway.

Very nice place. There were boards on steps and around hot tub that needed replacement badly

We enjoyed the privacy of this cabin and the view from the front windows was wonderful! We had our dogs with us and they got to watch the deer in the front yard through the windows and were so excited and eager to get outside so they could chase them (they were disappointed they weren't given the opportunity!) The house is furnished nicely, the master bath has heated floors, which was a great treat during our visit since it was quite chilly outside and the tile being warm was a great bonus! The house was clean and furnished exactly as pictured on the web page. If you are bringing a pet, the dog crate in the photos IS in the laundry room. I wasn't sure if it was an old photo, so we took our own crate, but that large crate is there, so if you take a pet, you are all set and it's very large. There were a lot of extras at the cabin not seen at others we've rented--lots of videos, toys for kids, and even swings to sit on to watch the evening stars. It's a very well cared for home, but my only suggestion to the owners would be to add some basic kitchen cookware and serving bowls. There wasn't a single small saucepan to be able to heat a can of soup. There are a lot of cooking utensils, a couple skillets, and many cookie sheets, but nothing to cook or serve side dishes in. I wasn't looking to make a gourmet meal, but something as basic as spaghetti was difficult since there was only 1 pot big enough to cook the pasta, but it had no lid, and there wasn't any other saucepan to heat the sauce. Add some basic cookware and more plates and bowls would be nice. With just 2 of us, we could make the dinnerware last through the day, but if there were 2 couples, I can see why a previous guest commented the dinnerware was a bit lacking. Overall, the cabin provided a pleasant stay, but I wanted to mention these few items in the hope future guests will have more kitchen items available to them. The access road is very steep and the hairpin turn 3/4 of the way up is a bit scary! :)

We had a wonderful stay at the house. The views of all the foliage right outside the hone was spectacular. The house was spotless and neat. Lots of room and more than we needed. The photos online are good but in person it’s all even better. Staff was friendly and easy to work with all around. We would defiantly recommend this location to anyone wanting a quiet getaway.

Chimney Mountain is a beautiful home that is great for people and dogs. It was impeccably clean when we arrived and the kitchen is well equipped for pretty much anything. The indoor gas fireplace and outdoor hot tub were wonderful on chilly nights after hiking. We had 3 dogs and it was hard to find a property that accepted this, so we were very happy to find this home. We loved hiking to Raven Cliff Falls and Dukes Creek Falls - great for humans and dogs. The Alpine Brew Deck was a nice dog friendly patio to eat and have a beverage.

A couple of notes: The home has a peculiar layout in that the access to the back porch with the hot tub and access to the yard is only through the master bedroom and master bathroom. This was fine for us as a couple with dogs, but if there were multiple families this might be a bit annoying and awkward. There is also another screened porch with access from indoors only through the master bedroom. Both areas can be accessed through gates from outdoors too. Also, the fireplace is between the living area and the master bedroom and you can see through it, so privacy in the master bedroom could be an issue.
The yard is great but not huge - note that the large grassy area in front of the house is NOT fenced. The smaller yard in back is fenced but is rocky and a bit muddy and without much grass. Good for hanging out and sniffing but not for serious play or ball.
As others mentioned the driveway is very steep with a hairpin turn, which we were not anticipating.

Overall we were very happy with our choice to stay in this home. The management company was lovely and very helpful.

Great house, quiet. Steep drive

The peace and quite of this property was a much needed retreat for my husband, I and our little fur baby away from our hectic business. It was very clean. The maintenance man was extremely helpful and was within mins when we needed him for something. I would recommend this rental.

The home was incredibly beautiful. I took my parents to the area to visit Helen, GA. The master bedroom was wonderful, the mattress was heaven. The master bath was over the top, with the sunken tub, waterfall shower, heated floors, double vanity sinks, completely relaxing. There was a swing next to the hot tub, there was a separate area for eating outside which was screened in. The living area was very comfortable, and my parents didn't want to leave!!!

We were very impressed with the Chimney Mountain Chalet. The property was very clean, and pet friendly. The property is large with an outdoor fire pit, hammock, and outdoor chair swing that we thought was a great added bonus. Our 2 dogs had plenty of space to explore without being afraid of meeting neighboring dogs. It is about a 10-15 minute drive to Helen, and very close to the Unicori State Park and Anna Ruby Falls. I suggest buying food before arriving in Helen, because there was really no convenient grocery store that we found besides Betty's which is small and expensive. We found the bedding comfortable, but the linen and dishes/cups sparse for 5 people staying for 3 nights. It would have been great if the lawn had been mowed being a place for outdoor adventures, but other than that, we were impressed! The property management was great and very attentive.

We loved that the home was fairly handicapped accessible with the bedrooms all on one level and a very spacious master bath. However, the hall bath was designed more for kids than adults and offered a pedestal style sink with no place to put toiletries, make-up, medicine, etc. The open floor plan was great for the whole family and a nice selection of books, movies, and games were available. However, the firepit, which was a must have for our booking, ended up being a dud with no chairs or seating of any kind. the spectacular windows that lined the living area would have been one of the greatest assets to this home were so filthy we really couldn't see the beautiful yard. The second bedroom had only one lamp and night-table, so there was no place for the other person to put a book, glasses, medicine, etc. Overall, the location was wonderful and the place, aside from the windows, was clean. There were extra pillow but no pillowcases, which was certainly a covid concern.

Nice place.

The house was clean, comfortable, and just as advertised. The company was easy to work with.

Well maintained home with everything one needed to enjoy a stay. Master bath had heated floors, kitchen was a large open space, and there was a hot tub on the deck. The property was 15 minutes from Helen. I would have given it 5 stars except the access road was narrow and somewhat tricky especially at night.

We stayed here for a weekend getaway and to celebrate my husband's birthday. It was a peaceful, relaxing weekend. This chalet provided all the comforts of home. The views were amazing! The home was very clean. The staff at GMR were very attentive and responded quickly when we called. Thank you for sharing your lovely property for us to enjoy. We plan on visiting again soon!

We had a great stay at this chalet. Would recommend

This is a perfect getaway. Close enough to Helen to enjoy the city but far enough to avoid the crowd. The beautiful home was everything we hoped for. We really enjoyed our stay. Easy Check in and Check out and Georgia Mountain Rentals is amazing with their service.

Very nice place. Can’t think of anything to complain about. We will definitely be coming back

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at the chalet! It was a beautiful home with lots of perks such as the heated floors in the spacious master bathroom and the hot tub right outside the door!! Very quiet and peaceful not to mention the beautiful mountains surrounding you! LOVED it and we will be back again SOON!!

First off, the ladies at GA mountain rentals are always peachy to work with! We’ve used them several times for our Helen vacations. Second, this cabin was beautiful! Very serene setting and easy to get up to in our van. Our kids -11, 7, and 6 had plenty to do between the hot tub and the closet full of toys. My only complaint was the pillows on the master bed. The bed is firm, and the pillows are somewhat flat, so I didn’t have much neck support. Thankfully, in the second bedroom closet there were a couple contour pillows which helped a lot. We will book this cabin again.

We enjoyed our stay at Chimney Mountain Chalet for our 25th Anniversary. We took our 2 Shih Tzus and really appreciated how dog friendly the house was. That in itself helped make our trip fantastic.

We had the most amazing, family bonding time at this rental. We didn’t want to go home. It was everything we expected and more!

I absolutely love this property. All the rooms were big and spacious. The decor was top notch. Love the jetted tub in the master and hot tub on the back deck. My family enjoyed every minute on our little getaway and did not want to leave. We will be back.

We enjoyed this house for our short vacation. The kitchen was very spacious, however it didn’t have a lot of plates or silverware so big families may have an issue. The hot tub was great with a peaceful view. They have lots of DVD’s to watch and records to listen to. The lighting could have been brighter for my taste. Overall we had a nice time.

This chalet was a great place to spend a few days. It is very spacious and comfortable, surrounded by nature.
Several great hiking trails nearby.

This was a very beautiful cabin. My family and I had such a great time. Been using Georgia mountain rentals for awhile now for our vacations, never disappointed.

Manager's Response

The home was just as shown in the photographs. Everything was really nice and clean. The Jacuzzi was excellent and the kitchen was beautiful and spacious. Very accommodating. The cabin is made for a family with kids maybe. I had all adult guest but it was still enough room for everyone. We had a fuse trip. The problem was taken care of swiftly and everyone was so nice.

We have been going to Georgia for years. This was the BEST experience we have ever had. Georgia Mountain Rentals are wonderful. The house was clean, the lawn was well kept and they are just so friendly. The home is just spectacular. The owners really care about it.

Manager's Response

The house was perfect for our family of 3 actually there was room for more. We loved all the upgrades of this property. You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay here. About 10 minutes from downtown Helen. The property looks like the description. Clean location. Georgia Mountain Rentals were readily available when/if needed.
