    Very clean, comfortable, and well stocked. It was a quiet, secluded location with a great, open sky view from the deck. Comfortable beds, large open living space and game room made it the perfect place for several adult friends to hang out and catch up.

    Hot tub was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked with cookware, serving utensils, dinnerware and plenty of glasses.The towels were plentiful and very nice. The house was very spacious for eight of us. Enough for privacy of needed.We had lots of fun playing all the games on the game room.The beds could have been more comfortable. It would have been nice to have had two king sized beds. They were good though and on good shape.

    Home was perfect distance to Helen but yet a little secluded and woodsier than staying in town. House was large and plenty of room for a large group. We were there on a scout trip with 7 teens and 2 adults, and everyone enjoyed their time there equally. There were quiet spaces for the adults while the teens had plenty to occupy their time. Kitchen is well stocked and plenty of seating for your group. Beds were comfortable and the hot tub was hot. Overall, an amazing trip making memories that will last a lifetime.

    The Red Star Lodge was the perfect location for a weekend with friends. The kitchen was well-equipped for us to cook a big breakfast, the hot tub and rocking chairs on the deck made for a perfect hang out/relaxation zone, and all the bedrooms were extremely comfortable spaces to recharge. Christie made sure we had everything we needed and gave some wonderful local recommendations for us to make the most of our trip. My only regret was that we couldn't stay for longer! Thank you for everything.

    What a marvelous experience my family of seven had at the Red Star Lodge. We took a week off to celebrate my daughter's 16th bday and spent it at this beautiful spacious house. Waking up looking at Yonah Mountain every day was a gift! I took many pictures of the stars at night. It was as if the sky was reflecting back at us with its energy. An experience one can have while at the mountains. We loved roasting marshmallows and drinking hot cocoa. What a treat! The house was perfectly located near many places that we visited (Duke's Creek Falls, Anna Ruby Falls, consolidated gold mine and Smithgall Woods state park) Helen is a very cute town to walk around. The house had everything we needed to cook, sleep, exercise (the hill). It was awesome. My kids loved the play area downstairs. And most of all, Christie was kind to allow me to bring my brother's dog with us as well. Christie's and Donald's house is a wonderful place to go and spend time taking in the beauty the mountains have to offer.

    The seven people in our family (three in their 70s, two in their 40s, one teen and one almost teen) had a wonderful stay at Red Star Lodge over Thanksgiving week. The home has beautiful views, ample space, plentiful and comfortable seating, and many amenities including two gas fireplaces, hot tub on the lower level porch, fire pit right off the back porch, plenty of rocking chairs on the upper level porch with beautiful views, ping pong, air hockey and shuffle board tables, an arcade game and board games. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and the house had plenty of comfy throw blankets to keep cozy during cold weather. There were many things to do in the area, such as visit Alpine Helen, local wineries. coffee shops, hike, horseback ride and the Georgia Mountain coaster. The host offered great recommendations and was very responsive to communication. We would all be happy to stay at this property again!

    Beautiful and very nicely appointed home. All the conveniences that you would need and a great game room downstairs. It was very relaxing and the neighborhood is nice. So close to Helen and the scenic parkway. Downtown Clarkesville is also a beautiful litttle town square with tons of modern amenities surrounding. Great stay and definitely fun for all!

    The cabin was beautiful, spacious, and stocked with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. The location was ideal for visiting some wineries, checking out downtown Helen, and taking a hike. When we wanted to stay in, we had a blast in the game room. Christie was so kind and helpful. Overall we had a perfect vacation at this cabin and I highly recommend the stay.

    We loved everything about this property. It has all the bells & whistles. It’s spacious, peaceful and serene, and at the same time fun for kids (and all ages). It’s very well-kept. It’s in a nice, wooded neighborhood with wildlife, yet it’s a short drive to shops, restaurants, and Helen. I highly recommend!

    The location is perfect! It is out of the hustle and bustle of Helen but a short 15 min drive and you are in the heart of Helen. The house is spacious with so many home touches, I felt like I was staying in my own house. I love the fact that they keep the salt & Pepper and seasonings from previous guests for everyone to use (it's the little things lol). My teens loved the game room & the adults as well. The fire pit with the chairs and Tiki torches was a huge hit in the evenings. We all sat around the fire taking and connecting. The owner was wonderful and very communicative. The decks with rocking chairs was my favorite for morning coffee and late night wine. Very relaxing place! Sorry our Dog slobbered on the couch. Love that it is pet friendly though.

    Very nice and clean. Had everything we needed. Our group included my son and his wife, the three children ages 7,9 & 12. and me, Grandpa. We were gone most of the time but when we were at the cabin the games and the hot tub kept everyone pretty busy. We had a great time.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Red Star Lodge! I want to start with saying how wonderful Christie was with her quick and detailed replies and recommendations to all of my questions pre-trip. She made it such a pleasant experience that I felt she was a friend by the end of all our exchanges! Though I booked this outside of my travel credentials, and did not mention this to Christie, I am a travel agent, I work with travel suppliers all day long, and I wish that the customer service from all of them was half as good as what she provided me. The house is exactly as shown in the photos. It is SO well stocked with everything we could possibly have needed. I brought so many items that typically are needed when renting a house or condo, but I could have left all of it at home. House was very clean, upper deck is amazing. Beds were extremely comfortable. We all slept so well (this group typically does NOT say that!). The game room is wonderful. We fully utilized the PacMan/Galaga arcade game, sand shuffleboard, air hockey, ping pong, and chess board. We brought several games with us, but there are many boardgames provided. Nice beach towels provided right by the lower balcony slider door to the hot tub. We visited Yonah Mountain VIneyards which was a pleasant 15ish min drive from the house. Gorgeous winery! I had mentioned we wanted to visit a winery or two and she sent me several recommendations with descriptions of each. We are already talking about returning!
