Our experience at Mountain View

Was able to accommodate all of our different family dynamics. Everyone had their own room and the spillover was in the loft area so great. We really enjoyed the house and the view was amazing as well.

Great overall

My family stayed here with our extended family with a total of 23 people for Christmas. Good things: The view is absolutely amazing. The porch is expansive and perfect for large groups to gather The location of the house is fantastic. We walked to Helen for our morning coffee one morning and went on a hike the other 2 mornings. The beds are comfy..even the kids room beds that my husband and I got stuck in. The communication with the owner was amazing Things that could have been better: The 7th bedroom with 6 beds is not quite a bedroom as it has a lookout window that lets noice in. The toilet was also not working well in that room. Our teens had a hard 3 nights of sleeping. The oven is extremely small for large groups to cook anything. Our Christmas lasagnas barely fit and took much longer than usual The decor was very cluttery. Lots of stuff. If you are used to streamlined minimalistic design, this will make you itch. It’s not a huge deal but Christmas decor along with harvest decor along with random cabin items is just too much. Overall, the cabin and our stay was pretty great. much.

Great Family Gathering Place

House was perfect for a large family get together. It was a short walk to the trail and about a mile walk to town. Plenty of parking. Also plenty of seating both outdoors and in the dining area. We did bring an electric griddle for cooking breakfast but otherwise the kitchen has everything we needed. If you plan to go tubing or to the waterpark, bring your own beach towels.

Summer Vacation in Helen

Our family of 17 ranging from 2 - 63 had the best time at this Mountain View Lodge. There was more than enough of everything to last us 7 days, plenty of sleeping and dining areas. Teresa was very communicative before and during our stay, definitely would stay here again!

Good home for large families.

Our family very much enjoyed our stay over the 4th of July. There was plenty of room for all of us. (21 including 2 tiny infants) It was great for each family unit to have their own bathroom. Lots of activities in the area if you want to brave the crowds over the 4th - tubing, hiking, mountain coaster, restaurants, etc. We made good use of almost all aspects of the house - corn hole (bring your own bags), hot tub, grill, fire pit. Oven is smallish for a house that size, but there is also a grill and microwave. The area in the back looking out over the mountains is lovely. We spent a lot of time out there.

Amazing location!

I was looking for a getaway house close to Helen to enjoy a Hallmark Christmas movie feel experience for my birthday. This house was perfect! It was so large and able to accommodate so many of us. I knew it was close to Main Street but the driveway is right there! It’s a long haul ip the driveway but when you pull onto the driveway and see the view it’s breathtaking. You could see the town and beautiful Mountain View’s. The house was stocked with everything we needed, blankets, pillows, kitchen cookware EVERYTHING! Working with Theresa was so easy as well, she was quick to respond to all the questions I had even while we were there. Everything about this home was exactly what I needed and we had the best time!

Amazing Mountain Getaway!!!!

The Mountain View Lodge was spectacular! Nestled away in the middle of the woods, overlooking downtown Helen and the mountains, this piece of paradise was SO PERFECT for our group. We had a professional all girls performance group from Tampa stay for camp. The layout of the house was perfect, with plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, and common area. The views made you feel like you were one with nature, in the woods. We saw deer and even a bear....The house had everything you would ever need, and felt like home. Fully stocked kitchen, bedding and towels for everyone. The beds were comfortable, the house was clean and the outdoor space allowed you to really enjoy the mountains. The owners were so responsive and accessible as well and provided lots of recommendations for things to do. The owners even helped us take out all the garbage; personally delivered packages to the house and were very attentive to any questions we had. If you want a getaway spot in Helen I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this home. It is so convenient to the center of town, so tranquil and you feel like you are living in a mountain resort while there. Thank you for making our stay the most memorable camp yet for our girls and thank you

About the host

Hosted by Roarke A Phillips & Teresa Sinclair& Megan

Host profile image
This is our families happy place. We purchased this lodge with investment in mind but also a place where our family and many others can have a place to gather without having to stay in separate locations. Having the large dining and living areas gives a place to sit and just relax without having to meet up at loud restaurants.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the charm and warmth the minute we walked in. This lodge has so much to offer small groups, or large gatherings with comfort and convenience. We feel the living area is inviting and comfortable to just sit quietly or have a fun gathering with many friends and family. This place gives privacy due to location on top of White Strasse overlooking Helen. White Strasse is located right in downtown with access to parking at the park right in downtown Helen.

What makes this property unique

Views of Mt Yonah and Sal Mountain are breathtaking the moment you walk in the front door!
