Enjoy relaxing to the sounds of the babbling creek while sipping wine in the hot tub or sitting around the fire pit! Just 10 minutes from the Bavarian Alps replica town of Helen, Georgia. Dog friendly & convenient to local wineries! Huge yard perfect for letting the kids explore.

Whether you're visiting the North Georgia mountains for a wedding, winery tours, one of our many festivals like Oktoberfest, admiring the fall leaves, a college graduation, a family vacation, or in hopes of striking it rich while panning for gold, we're certain that our home will be a place of rest and relaxation during your stay.

Visit the Bavarian Alps replica town of Helen, Georgia nestled in the Appalachian mountains of North Georgia. This area was once home to the mighty Cherokee. When settled by Europeans in the 1800's it became the site of the first U.S. gold rush. Then later became the quaint little German town it is today.

Come during late September through the end of October to not only enjoy the changing leaves, but also experience the Oktoberfest celebrations!

Our home is also an excellent place of respite for the adventurer! There are countless hiking trails, excellent roads for mountain biking, exceptional trout fishing waters, and more waterfalls than you can see on one trip.

Fun for the whole family too, with a waterpark, zip line adventures, horseback riding, river tubing, mini-golf, gold & gem mining, award-winning vineyards, a local brewery, unique shops, amish bakeries, antiquing, great local & German cuisine, and much more!

Our mountain cabin was built in 1997. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large living area, and a kitchen and dining area. Nearly 1000 sq. ft. of wrap around screened in porches to take in the fresh mountain air and sounds of running water. When you're ready to relax after a long day of exploring all the area has to offer, slip into the hot tub with a glass of wine or make s'mores by the camp fire out back.

“Perfect cabin & perfect location .. on paved road !!”
This was our second stay at Creekside Cottage and was perfect. No gravel narrow roads to navigate. Paved to driveway, plenty of parking spaces, big yard with swing set for kids. Enjoyed relaxing by the bubbling creek after busy days. Hot tub was grandson‘s happy place. About seven sitting areas with plenty of chairs. Everything we needed to cook our meals. Cabin was stocked with extra toilet paper, paper towels and garbage bags. The most comfortable beds of any cabin we have stayed at. Easy drive to Helen , Blue Ridge and Dahlonega. Two couches and big recliner provided a place for all 6 of us to spread out in one room. Mitch is a great host and very involved other upkeep of his cabin. Look no further for the perfect cabin …. this is it. We will be back !

Quiet natural retreat
This really was our ideal stay. There were no issues whatsoever. The wraparound porch, hot tub, seating area at creek let us enjoy the evening sounds after long days at the nearby parks, waterfalls, tubing, etc. The house is incredibly clean and well stocked, we wanted for nothing! We will definitely return.

Our Family Vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Creekside Cottage. It was a wonderful retreat. Our hosts the Lathem’s were so kind and accommodating. They quickly answered any of our questions. The retreat was clean and very well stocked. It is a quiet and peaceful place. We loved that there were toys for our little ones. It was so close to all our activities and yet seemed secluded. Our family had so much fun. We definitely we recommend this retreat for families.

Helen cabin
This cabin was good, clean & I loved the homey feel. Loved the little extras (bug spray, toys,smores) we had our own stuff bug spray, wood & such but it was nice that it was there if we forgot ours. Loved having the washer/dryer & it worked correctly. ❤️❤️ The host/owner was easy to work with.

Our stay was great! We had a 17 month old who loved playing on the wraparound porch. The house was very kid friendly with baby gates, toys and high chair. The kitchen was kid proof too. There was a pack and play in closet but we didn’t use. The house is also dog friendly with big yard. We played corn hole and used the fire pit. The adults also used the hot tub. The wraparound porch had comfortable furniture and ceiling fans. The sounds from the creek was very relaxing. The location was great! Close to restaurants and grocery store. Only 15 minutes from Helen. We would definitely stay again!!!

Meet the Host

MitchIcon
Mitch
Owner
I'm a happily married father, local real estate broker, nature and wildlife photographer, volunteer soccer coach, world traveler, outdoor enthusiast, adventure junkie, working for an international Christian missions organization.

I'm a native North Georgian. Born, raised, and currently living in Gainesville, just 20 minutes south of Dahlonega. My wife, Monya, and I met at Young Harris College in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains and then hung around Athens for a few years to earn our degrees from the University of Georgia. It was love at first sight. It just took her a few years to realize it. We got married in the fall of 2007 at Big Canoe, yep you guessed it... in the mountains. She went on to get her master's from Brenau University and is an elementary school teacher. She thinks she's smarter than me, she's probably right. She's certainly better looking.

Our team consists of our daughter, Adri (9), and our son, Adler (6). I always tell everyone, "we've done our part and created our replacements". She's compliant and contemplative, like her mother, and he's our little strong-willed explorer, just like his old man. We have the most gentle and loving Great Dane Lab mix named Sophie, a temperamental self absorbed cat named Coal, and a spastic rescue squirrel named Lucky.

My hair is quickly turning gray. It started at 17. I like to think of it as my pre-mature crown of glory. It's probably just hereditary. And yes, I was born with a beard.
