Our group of 7 friends have had Christmas celebrations for the past 13 years. We enjoyed the Christmas market & beautiful Christmas decorations of downtown Helen, GA. We have consistently taken a picture around the Christmas tree of whichever house we rented in years past, multiple of which we found on VRBO. We are happy to say that those owners followed through with our request of Christmas decorations and a tree prior to our stay(since the picture has been an integral memory making moment). Unfortunately, "the owners had not been able to make it to the house to decorate before our stay"; a detail i confirmed via phone call that would've swayed me to book elsewhere had we known prior. The rental is managed by a group "Georgia Mountain Rentals", not just owners on VRBO. They list dishwasher pods & dish soap being included w/rental. We had no dish soap and only 3 pods for 7 adults for 4 days which they knew beforehand as well as the detail of us having our annual turkey dinner. Thankfully, there is a Dollar General in Helen that sells both dish soap and paper towels to accommodate the crowd's needs. The cabin itself had incredible views and was quite pleasant & cozy. They provided additional driving instructions via email which were quite helpful & made a courtesy welcome call our first day which was pleasant.The beds were comfortable. They didnt give enough towels or laundry detergent. The oven was slow to heat & took longer than expected to cook. Internet is DishNetwork.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cabin was exactly what the pictures showed, was nice and clean and updated. There was plenty of room for 10 people and enough bed space for all. The kitchen was clean as well as the bathrooms. The view was spectacular with beautiful sunsets. The only thing I would say is maybe offer brooms or vacuums.

Beautiful Home perfect for our family close to wedding venue Hicks Barn at Batesville close to Helen and Cleveland. The only negative was the long dirt road on the way was very rough in some places. Otherwise everything was perfect!! ❤️

great property. stunning views. close to helen get to town early stay late . plenty of room for 6 ppl . waterfalls near by .

The lodging was more than what we expected. Very clean house. The parking was a bit of a concern because of the steep grade. But we managed. The road leading up to the property was a challenge but again, manageable. After two or three trips, we learned how to traverse the road. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

We could not have been more happy with the cabin. The only negative was that they were building a cabin right across the street, so we did not get to enjoy the serene peace and quiet so much, and there were workers all over the place and a giant crane sitting out front. That part was a little disappointing. Would have been nice to have been made aware of this ahead of time or given some type of discount. The cabin itself was beautiful and very clean and had everything. The views were amazing!!

The cabin was great. My only complaint was the wifi and streaming services were awful, definitely needs improvement. Other than that,everything was great.

We had the best time. The house was perfect for adults and kids. The view was absolutely amazing!! Will definitely be back in the future.

Great house great view. Would rent again.

The cabin and the views were absolutely amazing. Cabin is gorgeous and well maintained. Can't beat the views of the valley below. We had an issue with the water heater but the property management company handled it right away.

We really enjoyed this place. The view was beautiful and we loved how close it was to downtown Helen! We will definitely be back.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, the rental was adequate. Upon arrival we discovered some areas had not been cleaned and that was reported to management company. A leak was detected in the master bathtub which dripped down into the bottom level bathroom. Pillows in bedrooms were just about flat. Not enough space for trash for 10 people for 5 days. The property is in need of some updating. Location is GREAT for visiting Helen and the area.

The directions to the house were fine but then we figured another way to get there easier — go to Highway 17 and go up. A lot better roa. We had a very nice time and the cabin was beautiful 😍

This cabin is the perfect getaway for a group! It is stunning, and everyone has space to spread out. Parking is ample, and the drive up isn’t bad. I imagine it would be difficult if it snowed, but we had no issues after a bunch of rain in our 2WD vehicle. I highly recommend this cabin! Definitely worth the money!

Loved the amenities & views! We all had a great time. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone with a larger group.

Plenty of room. Not too close to neighbors. Beautiful views.

Family had the best tone!! Close to everything’n

Everything went smoothly-from check in to check out. Our family enjoyed the games, pool and ping pong table, and space! We will definitely visit again!

We really enjoyed the location and mountain Views. The cabin was nice. The pans, toaster and coffee pot in the kitchen could definitely use an upgrade/cleaning. The maintenance guy that came out to get the TV’s working was outstanding. He was super friendly and very helpful.

comfortable warm and inviting.... very relaxing with all the comforts of home. The view from the wrap around decks with ample seating was so enjoyable...I was content to just sit and soak it all in. The mountain air and breeze unbeatable, I guess we chose a great time to come up not being fans of colder climate. The furnishings are sturdy and family friendly, however, being a taller person the very short toilet in the king size bedroom bath was a 'low' point for me personally, hopefully this feature will be upgraded. We enjoyed our stay and would consider a repeat stay in the future

wonderful place! great location! we had children from age 4 to 10 and they all had fun

We had a great experience!! The cabin exceeded our expectations!!

We enjoyed our stay at Paradise Retreat. The rental property staff was very attentive when we had a problem with the downstairs TV. Stephanie , in particular, was very helpful. The cabin is in good shape and very clean. I would definitely rent again. The only thing that could be improved on is a larger TV on the main level! 😊

We had a great time at this beautiful house with great views from the balcony. We did wish there were a little more paper towels as we ran out pretty quickly.
