Fun getaway on three wooded acres with furnished deck & forest views

Doe Heights Chalet

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Trade traffic, stress, and noise for mountain air, peaceful woods, and star-filled nights.

Hidden among three private wooded acres near Helen, this cozy North Georgia retreat is the kind of place where mornings begin with coffee on the deck, afternoons are spent chasing waterfalls or exploring Lake Burton and Lake Rabun, and evenings end gathered around the fire making memories with the people who matter most.

Close enough to enjoy the restaurants, wineries, and Bavarian charm of Helen — yet far enough away to truly unplug — this secluded getaway offers the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.

Whether you're planning family game nights, lake days, hiking adventures, or simply a quiet escape in the mountains, this home was made for reconnecting, slowing down, and enjoying the beauty of North Georgia together.

The beds were great, the rooms comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. It was very clean on the inside, but the deck was not very clean. Also, the driveway was quite steep and hard to maneuver. They kept changing the entry code on us. When we got there it wasn't the code we were given to get in, and we had to call. Then one evening we got home after dark and tried to get in, but they changed the code again. But they were very quick in answering our calls.

Verified traveller

Some areas of the house were not cleaned. The exterior needs some cleaning (power washing). The size of the house was great. The mattress in the downstairs bedroom needs replacing. The Master bedroom needs a tv and the wi fi needs to be updated it was hard to watch anything on tv or use cellphones. Called about door lock issues and the matter was taken care of immediately.

Weekend getaway

Very convenient location. Spacious, secluded and quiet. The dishwasher does not work well, there were food particles on dishes and utensils. It’s peculiar that there is no way to cover windows. Felt very exposed. We enjoyed our stay.

Family Thanksgiving

The property was very good. The kitchen contained nearly everything one would need for food prep. The house is located in an isolated , but beautiful area, which makes it very quiet. There are hiking opportunities and lakes within a 20-30 minute drive, as is the town of Helen.

Wonderful house with more than a couple of hiccups

This is our first house rental managed by Vacasa, although we have rented many, many houses through VRBO. Others have not had nice things to say about Vacasa, we didn't experience problems with the property managers. They were prompt with answering our emails about our problems, although not fixing things fully. The house itself is spectacular in the surroundings of woods, and has a terrific porch. The issue is... well, we shouldn't have had all these problems with a house this nice. I'm not sure if it's the managers or the owners who have neglected some things. For instance, like making certain lights work (many did not, 3 out of 4 switches are non functional in the upstairs bath) and fixing the hot water problem in the downstairs shower, which has been mentioned in reviews for months. When we arrived, we were met with a broken window in the basement, apparently someone had attempted to break in (one of the Vacasa employees claimed it was a previous traveler who had locked himself out.) That's a bit bizarre. Fix the lock so that shouldn't be able to happen. (yes, you can deadbolt yourself out of this house, there's a warning about it on the front door!) Fix the darn window, if you know about it, don't leave it for the rain and rodents to come in! I had to call to ask them to cover it up. We opened the garage door because of the smell, and then it wouldn't close. And why was there still wet stinking wash (used towels from the previous people) in the washer, and the dryer not working? Shouldn't the housekeeper have reported this previously? We had no use of laundry, and not enough clothes. The closest laundromat is 30 minutes drive away. (Did I mention the non functioning light in the laundry room? Try doing laundry at night in a wet, dark basement with a broken window and rodent poison boxes everywhere). Creepy. What a wonderful house that is less than 20 years old, too bad it is being neglected like this. I almost want to call up the owners and ask them to sell it before it's too late. But I don't want it, in fact, I don't want to come back. Ah well. Close to lovely, but a definite miss. We actually checked out a day early, and wasted our money. Out of clothes and out of patience.

Nice, relaxing, quiet

Really enjoyed the peace and quiet of this location. A bit farther from Helen than we thought, but not a big deal. The kids really enjoyed the loft and all it had to offer. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Wonderful remote location but still close

The chalet was a great vacation getaway. I initially wanted to stay nearer to Helen GA, but this VRBO proved to be more ideal than I hoped. The owners curated a beautiful property filled with a life full of wonderful art, movies, books and music. All you can hear from the property is the wind through the trees, the birds and the very occasional car driving by in the distance. I hope to come back.

Great getaway

Tucked away in the woods, sit in the living room and enjoy the sight of trees in every visible direction. I wanted a short getaway to recharge and the area (go visit Tallulah Falls) and this quiet area definitely helped me succeed.

Cute and Quiet

We loved our stay here and would love to go back again. The place was super quiet, checkin was one of the easiest we've had. Convenient to everything we wanted to do. And "the book" they have taken the time to write was instrumental in a lot of our decisions on things to do and places to eat (Bleu Canoe was superb). So much thought went into their book, and was very much appreciated. The house was really clean, though there were some areas that probably could use a touch more attention (inside cabinets, behind doors, etc). The decor was very eclectic and at first seemed a bit strange, but the longer you spent there, the more homey it really began to feel... like possibly different generations/styles had a part of decorating. Such a unique mix of things to see, many causing a chuckle here and there. The home was very warm and inviting, we hated to leave! Hope to be back on another stay!

Very poor customer service and property management

Our recent stay at this vacation rental, managed by Vacasa was an extremely unpleasant experience. We have attempted to come to a solution in regards to compensation for the issues we encountered during our stay and the overall management of these issue via Vacasa and were offered a $50 credit. This in no way met our expectations or compensate us for the stress and inconvenience that we encountered.. This is not even close to a satisfactory solution. Given the level of stress and the number of times we had to reach out to the management to get a solution to a reported problem, this was offensive and insulting. We have rented many vacation properties over the years and never have we encountered such service. Our stay was 5 nights and 3 of those were spent dealing with reported issues derailing our entire stay. Given this situation, I not only will NEVER rent a property managed by Vacasa again, but would warn anybody else against doing so as well, and we will think twice before renting through VRBO. We feel that given the situation we are entitled to a much larger refund. We gave both VRBO and Vacasa multiple opportunities to make it right to which we have only been ignored, mistreated and insulted.
