Escape to the Blue Ridge Mountains for a little R & R in this cozy, dog-friendly cabin for two with covered, private hot tub, in-room Jacuzzi, and seasonal wood-burning fireplace!
Located less than 30 miles south of the North Carolina border, this semi-secluded Sautee Nacoochee home is only 12 miles from the waters of Lake Burton, a man-made reservoir off the Tallulah River where you can fish, picnic, swim, or maybe even time your visit to enjoy the spectacular Lake Burton Fourth of July fireworks show. This annual tradition dates back to 1975 and is a display that can really only be enjoyed from aboard a boat upon the water!
Step inside this cozy cabin and soak in the rich, woodsy features and accents from the polished floors, to the paneled walls, to the exposed beamed ceilings above.
The great room houses the living room, kitchen and even the bedroom, making this an ideal, single-story home for visitors with mobility issues. The living area offers a plush, leather sofa, and a warming, seasonal, wood-burning fireplace.
Come together at the table and play a card game or enjoy a little something prepared in the nearby kitchen.
The full, well-equipped kitchen has everything one might need to prepare anything from a cup of morning java to a full course meal including a fridge, stove, microwave oven, toaster, coffee maker, and even a dishwasher to help you get a handle on those dirty dishes.
Step through the double doors and out onto your covered, screened-in deck with an additional table and chairs, gas barbecue, and private hot tub, perfect for those steamy Georgia summer nights.
The romantic bedroom has a large, comfortable king-sized bed for two and an in-room, corner style Jacuzzi. There's also a full bathroom with a shower close by. And with an additional set of double doors leading out to the deck, you can swing them open and sleep to the sounds and smells of the surrounding forest.
WiFi is provided in the home and there's also a flatscreen TV to let you catch up on your shows and movies and a stereo to let you fill the cabin with your favorite tunes during your stay. And note that your well-behaved dog (up to two are allowed) is welcome to join you for a nightly pet fee.
Head over to the delightful Bavarian alpine town of Helen (about six miles away) where you can wine, dine, shop, and see the sights from a horse-drawn carriage, only four miles away. If you're looking for a little high-energy excitement on the water, head down the Chattahoochee River aboard a raft or in a tube, or see it all dangling from a zipline above the trees. Both adventures are accessible from companies in Helen or in some of the nearby park areas.
Book this cabin today and surprise your significant other with the promise of a romantic getaway to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay last week. We highly suggest vacationing at this cabin. Hot tub was very enjoyable and all the amenities you would need are available.
Such a great stay! Missed it as soon as I left. Hot tub can be a tad confusing to work but other than that, everything was wonderful!
Please please check your sheets and mattress. Hopefully they took the proper precautions. They have bed bugs. I ended up sleeping on the couch which was ok . They offered my money back but only for 1 night not my full refund. Which I didn’t like. So because the night was already approaching I stayed on the couch and packed all of my items in my car. Thank fully I brought nothing home with me . I left this comment before and it was deleted. This is the second time.
The good - bed, bath, TV, deck, location. Could be better - Lighting (dark place), parking area, neighbors below deck. The not so good - Hot tub (broken parts floating in water, no head cushions, no privacy shields from neighbors. Table stools very uncomfortable to sit on.
The cabin wasn’t clean and ready at our check in time of 4pm, the cleaning lady showed up at our check in on the dot and told us we’d have to wait 45 mins to enter the cabin. But, once we got inside, it was clean and we had no issues with the hot tub like other guests have mentioned. The place is tucked away, but is beside 3 other vacasa cabins as well…. Also, you’re about 15-20 from any walkable trail, so it wasn’t exactly ideal for dogs…. There wasn’t many walkable potty options for our dogs…. The only other mild disturbance was the cabin behind us (another vacasa owned) had extremely loud construction going on as early as 6:30 am…. If you don’t mind a cabin without walkable nature around, and don’t mind 20 min ride into Helen, this is for you… just was hard with large hound dogs, and the noisy mornings were annoying.
My husband and I went for Christmas and it was a very nice cabin. Very spacious for a 2 person cabin. We loved to fireplace. We would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone!
This cabin is a very good location as it is very private with the cabin being at the end of a small gravel drive. Great studio with plenty of room and a fairly large deck with hot tub and gas grill. The hot tub is older, not many jets. At times, when the hot tub was heating, the indoor lights would dim but not every time. The toilet overflowed once during our 3 day stay. This is perfect for two people but no more. If you are going to cook, you may want to bring a battery led light for the kitchen as it is very dark in the kitchen. There is one ceiling fan light between the den area and kitchen. There is a jetted tub in the bedroom area but we did not use it. There is one TV in tge bedroom area, not in the den area. There are three remotes for the TV, Roku, and sound system but no batteries for the TV or sound system remotes so we had to get out of bed to adjust the volume which was rather frustrating. Overall, it is a nice stay.
We enjoyed our stay. The cabin and hot tub were very relaxing.
Very Nice Property. Management was very friendly and worked fast to resolve any issues. Would definitely stay again
Vacasa stay very good. Hot tub was great! Cabin perfect as usual. We have been there 3 times and this time was just as great as before. Time to unwind and unplug!
Other than the hot tub taking 20 hours to warm from 84 to 100 it was a very pleasant stay.
I am extremely picky about where I stay and I give this cabin a 10/10! My husband and I had such a romantic weekend. Even though there are cabins around, it is still secluded enough to have plenty of privacy. The hot tub and bath tub are perfect for relaxing. The bed is so comfortable. It has central heat and a fireplace, so we didn’t freeze to death. It is located 3.5 miles from Helen, 2 miles to Anna Ruby falls. The driveway is not steep. I can’t say enough good things. My ONLY suggestion is to put a couple bamboo blinds around the back deck so hot tub time can be private!
