9 Mi to Lake Burton: Cabin w/ Deck Near Helen

Reviews

• 4/5

  We rented this cabin with only one prior stay and review, so it felt like a bit of a gamble—but overall we had a great time and wanted to leave a detailed review.Pros:The cabin was one of the cleanest VRBOs we’ve stayed in and struck a great balance between “homey” and not feeling like a bare-bones rental. The owners were very responsive when communication allowed. The kitchen was extremely well stocked; I cooked multiple meals daily with no issues. The full-size, brand-new fridge was a huge plus. There were tons of throw blankets, which made it extra cozy, and the Christmas décor was a lovely, unexpected touch. The water heater was phenomenal—everyone showered after long days out with zero issues, even in the cold.Cons:The downstairs bedroom mattress (by the kitchen) was a major issue. The bed was extremely loud and creaky, and the slats didn’t fit properly—some fell off during the night, causing the bed to dip. This really needs to be replaced.There is no cell service at the cabin. The WiFi is fast and free, but I couldn’t text non-iPhone users over WiFi, which made communication tricky.Sound travels easily inside the cabin; light sleepers or mixed schedules may struggle.There were Rokus, but only one worked during our stay—not a dealbreaker, but worth checking.The stairwell is very steep with narrow steps and exposed cables at the time of our stay. We felt this should be clearly mentioned in the listing, as it could be a dealbreaker for families or older guests.
