Summary:

Enjoy your morning coffee on the front porch and experience the silence and peaceful mountain views. While we do have internet and all of today's modern conveniences, most guests choose to connect with nature in ways you simply can't in your normal world. The Appalachian Trail, Helen, GA, and beautiful waterfall hikes are a fun adventure and less than 5 miles away.

The Space:
Enjoy long range views on the front porch in the hot tub, take a nap or read a book in the hammock. Start up a corn hole tournament or play pickleball all while enjoying the tranquility of the national forest. There is plenty of room to spread out inside as well!

The cabin features 2 family rooms and a gorgeous kitchen with live edge Walnut countertops. The terrace level family room is great for kids to hang out, play video games, or watch a movie when you're in for the evening.

Need a place to work for a few minutes? There are two desks in the terrace level family room area that are perfect for what you need.

Bison View Lodge has a seasonal walking trail that leads you to a babbling mountain creek. The road outside the gate is a great morning walk as well. The entire property is fenced and gated.

The Neighborhood:
Hilltop Cabin is located just 4.5 miles from Downtown Helen at the Bison View Lodge Corporate & Family Retreat Center, North Georgia's most beautiful micro resort that hosts company retreats, mountain destination weddings, ministry retreats, and family reunions.

The neighbors you ask? Well that would be hundreds of acres of untouched US Forest.

We feel we have the best location in North Georgia. Just 4.5 miles to Georgia's #1 visited resort town - the Alpine Village known as Helen. Tube the "Hooch" as they say or eat some great food in town. Ride the Georgia Mountain Coaster. Helen is also home to many festivals including a genuine Alpine Octoberfest from September to November. Two state parks are within 30 minutes and the Chattahoochee National Forest is our neighbor.

If you want something a little more sophisticated consider taking a tour of Georgia's Winery Highway, exploring the NAPA Valley of the Southeast US. There are 14 vineyards within 60 minutes of the cabin.

Rent a boat, jet ski, or other watercraft on Lake Chatuge, just a 35 minute drive from the lodge.

The waterfalls in this part of Georgia are some of the nation's best and you don't want to miss Ana Ruby Falls. There are numerous other hidden waterfall hikes to find in this area as well.

Bring your ATV and explore many of the area's off-road adventures.

Helen is also home to a genuine Alpine Octoberfest from September to November. Two state parks are within 30 minutes and the Chattahoochee National Forest is our neighbor.

CLEANING & LAUNDRY PRACTICES: A luxury experience deserves the finest care when it comes to cleaning and laundry. Our cleaning process sets the standard in the mountains! Did you know that most cabin owners in North Georgia don't wash the blankets on the bed every time a new guest comes? . How do we know? We asked dozens of cleaners over the past few months and that's what they told us. We feel you deserve exquisite care when it comes to cleanliness.

At Bison Lodge, we launder all the linens, including bed blankets every single time we change over guests. Even better, we use a commercial laundry service that uses exceptionally hot water to make sure your linens are beautiful, soft, and most importantly very clean. We think YOU are worth it!

We also use high quality Alen air purifiers that take dust, mold, and allergens out of the air. If the mountain air is pure, shouldn't you expect the same from the inside air? We discovered these fantastic devices during the pandemic for a family member who had a chronic illness, and we've been using them in our properties, and our personal home, ever since.
