Great stay for a weekend getaway. Plenty of room and spacious. The beds were exceptionally comfortable. Quick walk to town. Will definitely book again when we return to Helen, Ga.

Great location!

This property is spacious and just steps away from the heart of downtown Helen, and we walked everywhere on this trip. One caution...the walk into town is mostly downtown, so walking uphill back to the cabin could be problematic for guests with mobility issues. We would definitely return to Delaine's Retreat for another stay!

Great locayion

We liked how close it was to downtown. With the crowds and traffic of a holiday weekend, being able to walk to town in minutes was great. Hydrangeas out front was a nice touch. Kids loved the pool table. All around a nice accommodation.

Perfect cabin for a family getaway!

We loved this cabin. It has all the modern amenities with a rustic feel. The location was excellent. Our teenage sons loved getting out and walking the streets of Helen then coming back and shooting pool at the house. We did not want to leave & will definitely book “Delaine’e Retreat” next time we visit Helen!

Had a nice time

We had a really nice time at Delaine's Retreat. Something that we thought needed addressing were the filter in the pool room needed changing. The room had a strong, musty smell which didn't make being in the room for longer than a few minutes possible. That being said, you cannot beat the location of the cabin. With some updating, the cabin would be amazing, but overall, we had a really nice stay.

Nicest place to stay in Helen

I stayed here for 4 nights with my son and his girlfriend and my 9 month old puppy. Super great location, in the heart of Helen. It is a bit of a climb up the hill to the house from Main Street (so be sure you have no ambulatory issues), but outside of that, great place to stay. House had great AC, was very clean and I loved all the woods! Highly recommend!

Helen GA motorcycle trip

Very well located within walking distance of Helen and all bars, restaurants, and attractions. Place was clean and orderly. Beds and furniture were comfortable. The property is on the side of a mountain so there is a steep grade up to the house. Also, the lodging is upstairs. Probably not the best for mobility impaired guests, but we managed just fine and enjoyed the view and the walk to down town. On the second night while sitting out front on the porch three white tailed deer ambled by. That was special.

Heart of Helen

Great cabin within walking distance to everything in Helen for Octoberfest (as long as you can do the hill to get up to it). We walked everywhere! House had everything you needed and was great for a long weekend getaway with friends. Loved the screened in porch for card game playing, pool table was fun, kitchen well stocked. Owners were very prompt when we needed a code upon checkin to change from heat to AC. Would recommend.

Amazing location

The best part about this home is it’s walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. It is not handicap friendly as you have to climb a steep set of stairs to enter and exit, steep stairs inside to access the master, and it also sits on a hill. It is spacious inside and we loved the large windows and balconies. There were a few bugs during our stay in the kitchen area even in winter, so I would suggest a more aggressive pest control, but it was clean overall. I would also suggest a keyless entry code system so you do not have to carry the key around and have more flexibility to come and go with multiple adults. The property manager was prompt with responses to questions and even was kind enough to mail us back a package that we left on the porch.

Cozy, Comfortable Cabin

The cabin interior was decorated very nicely and it was clean, comfortable, welcoming and keep up. The property listing does not state that the guest does not have access to the ground level area as, once you arrive, signs in the property state that is owner only access. We would not have chosen this property if that was clearly stated in the description since my husband has a difficult time with stairs due to his back (18 stairs to entrance). As other guests stated in their review, limited outdoor access due to "dangerous areas" was disappointing since that included most of the outdoors on the property.

Dalaine's Retreat

Our main complaint about this cabin has to do with the fireplace. VRBO does state that there is a wood burning fireplace, but there was no firewood!! We did not discover this until our second day there. We called Pinnacle Cabin Rentals (property manager) and I was told that you have to request firewood be brought to the cabin and you have to provide a 48 hour notice!! We did not know this by reading the cabin description on VRBO's website, because it is not on it!! A fireplace without firewood is not an amenity. My wife and I have rented numerous cabins in NC & GA with fireplaces and wood was always provided. Also, VRBO does state there is a stairway to the main cabin, but what is not revealed is that you have to climb 2 flights of stairs to get to the entrance. Also, there is a very narrow and steep flight of stairs to get to the top floor bedroom. The cabin was quite large and was located near all of the "happenings" of Helen, Ga.
