This two-story luxury home has so much comfort and character, you and your party may never want to leave! This forest villa hosts lots of modern amenities that you're going to love, from the jetted tub to the game room and pool table. Enjoy that first-morning coffee out on the spacious deck overlooking the neighboring golf course then put the full kitchen to use to cook up a big mess of pancakes for friends and family. The large living area provides all the space and seating you'll need for movie night on the flatscreen TV, and the upstairs loft is just the place to get in a good book by yourself. After a day of exploring the Helen area, take a dip in the private hot tub to relax those tired limbs. And since this home is dog-friendly, even your canine companions are welcome to join in on the fun!

Take your group for a day out on the greens at Innsbruck Resort & Golf Club, just over a mile from the property, or drive just two and a half miles to go out on a hike on Unicoi Lake Trail.

Beautiful home perfect for large families

The house is beautiful and the location is perfect. We loved having a pool table to play on and for everyone to have their own space. Our only issue was that the hot tub didn't work properly and this was one of the reasons we booked this house. We would absolutely stay here again if they got the hot tub fixed.
