About this property

Spectacular Mountain Views of Tray & Chimney Mountains

“Over the creek and through the woods” . . . to the guest house at Sautee Paso Fino Ranch, a secluded cottage overlooking Chattahoochee National Forest. This privately owned, family mountain retreat is tucked away between historic Nacoochee Valley and Unicoi State Park – convenient to Helen, Unicoi State Park, Clarkesville, and Cleveland.

The Guest House is located on a ridge overlooking the Chattahoochee National Forest and is accessed by a gravel road. As you drive in, there are views of Tray & Chimney Mountains. The picnic table & swing are perfect places to relax and view the mountains.

We welcome you to visit us and enjoy the majesty of the beautiful and ever-changing North Georgia Mountains where each season displays its own distinctive colors and scenes. Surrounding Helen is the Chattahoochee National Forest, Smithgall Woods, and Unicoi State Park. Richard Russell Scenic Highway and the Appalachian Trail are nearby – as well as many streams, waterfalls, hiking trails, and a wide variety of outdoor activities.

We keep a guest book that includes listings of shops, museums, restaurants, and other attractions.

As you arrive, we personally greet you to give you an opportunity to preview the guest house. We make every effort to provide a clean and pleasant environment for you to enjoy; therefore, this is strictly a non-smoking facility.

Nature All Around

My husband & I stayed here while exploring the area. The cabin is tucked away next to a babbling creek. Mornings were spent listening to the sounds of nature - just what i needed to reconnect to nature. The host was wonderful.

Restful Anniversary weekend

We had a fabulous time! Don and Brenda are lovely hosts. They make you feel welcome right away. Guesthouse is beautiful and so secluded and perfect for a quiet weekend getaway. Just a short drive to Helen, GA. Plenty of space for your welcomed pet which is always a plus in my book. We would definitely book again.

Guest house

The guest house was very clean and was well appointed. It was very private. The owners had gone to great lengths to make sure everything was satisfactory for their guests. The flowers surrounding the home were lovely. It was close to many wonderful things to see and do. Anna Ruby falls was our favorite. We had a very nice stay.

Beautiful & serene

We booked a last minute Memorial Day getaway for our family. Don is so sweet and informative. We did a bit of hiking and sight seeing which is easy to do in this location. Helen was a fun town to visit for dinner, only about 15 min away. The guest house has a wonderful view of the mountain behind it, beautiful gardens and a peaceful escape from reality. We will be back!

Great home in the mountains

This was an amzing stay. Mr Don and his wife were great hosts and made sure everything was perfect. We were met at the property by his wife and was shown around to make sure everything was up to our expectations. Everything was fully stock with cleaning supplies and cookware and other kitchen utensils. There was a great view of the mountains, nice patio area and nice deck for sitting outside. It was also only a short 10-15 drive to Helen. If you are a small family looking for a wonderful vacation home in the mountains, this is definitely it!!

Ruined Vacation!

The property was nice enough, but. the entrance was flooded! We did not want to risk damaging the undercarriage of our car or have trouble ,(with further rain) getting in or out! So, we left, after a 14 hour drive to get there, and a 14 hour drive to get home! Although, we did get a refund, it did not make up for a ruined vacation! Four wheel drive should have been stated as mandoratory not suggested! Very disillusioned with this site!

REALLY NICE PEOPLE AND GREAT PLACE

WE TRAVEL ALOT AND I HAVE GOT TO SAY THAT THIS PLACE WAS SO SO CLEAN AND ADORABLE! THE OWNERS WERE REALLY NICE AND HELPFUL. WE WANTED TO WATCH THE DOGS ON A CERTAIN CHANNEL AND THEY WENT TO THE TROUBLE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COULD WATCH THE GAME. THANKS AGAIN FOR THAT! THERE IS NO CLEANING FEE SO WE TRIED TO MAKE SURE WE LEFT IT THE SAME WAY IT WAS WHEN WE ARRIVED AND HOPE EVERYONE STAYING WILL DO THE SAME, AS NO CLEANING FEE IS AWESOME! THANKS AGAIN AND WILL SEE YOU AGAIN SOON!!!

Private, Quiet and Secluded

We loved staying here in Sautee Nacoochee, Ga. This is very close to Helen, Georgia. It was so quiet and peaceful. After we visited some state parks and did some hiking to waterfalls, this was a great place to come back to and relax. The house is secluded, which we liked. You do have to cross a shallow creek to get to the house, but it's not bad. Don and Brenda were great host! Check in process was easy. We loved the nicely decorated home. It has a lot of space and they allow pets. Thank you again Don and Brenda for sharing your lovely home with us for our 36th anniversary weekend. We will definitely recommend this place to others.

Enjoyable Stay

Don was very responsive and helped us settle in nicely. It is a comfortable quiet home decorated in a country style. It is very quiet with a large lawn and patio and large rooms. Note the view is only seen from the top of the lawn. I suggest arriving for the first time during daylight. It worked well for us and our 2 small lap dogs and they had lots of room to run around. Note the carpet is light tan so big dogs who like to play in the mud may be a problem. The kitchen is fine but be prepared to supplement if you want to do any meaningful cooking. ie there are 4 plates, 4 bowls so for a family of 4 you will be out of dishes after each meal. There were no "extras" or things you might find leftover from the previous renters (plastic wrap, condiments, zip locks, sugar, spices etc).

Lovely property!

The house is absolutely beautiful with its high ceilings and exposed beams. It was a great location for our vacation. The water crossing was a unique experience, and it was a bit scary for me as someone from a big city who is not used to it. It was doable in my smaller SUV, but I can't imagine a small car being able to make it across. One thing to note is that the second bedroom is a converted patio. There is no door to close, and the clear doors don't block light from the bedroom and living room. This made it difficult to put a child to bed in that room while continuing to use the living room and bedroom. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay in this lovely house.
