Stargaze under the ultra dark North Georgia sky where on a clear night you can see the Milky Way with the naked eye. Located just 5 miles to Downtown Helen, Georgia's #1 Tourist City. This ultra cool barn is the perfect unique experience. Your neighbor is none other than hundreds of acres of pristine US Forest.
It boasts 3 bedrooms, each with their own full bathroom, and will sleep up to 12 people. 2 bedrooms are upstairs. There is one a bedroom and bath on the main level. The main floor bathroom has a queen bed.
Let's talk cleaning for a minute...Did you know that most cabin owners in Georgia don't wash the blankets on the bed every time a new guest comes? Isn't that disgusting? How do we know? We asked dozens of cleaners over the past few months and that's what they told us. At Bison Lodge, we launder all the linens, including bed blankets every single time we change over guests.
We use a commercial laundry service that cleans with exceptionally hot water to make sure your linens and blankets are beautiful, soft, and most importantly very clean. We also use high quality Alen air purifiers that take dust out of the air. We have the best air quality in the mountains! We know our cleaning fee is high, and that's why, we want our cleaners and laundry service doing a great job for you.
THINGS TO DO IN HELEN:
We feel we have the best location in North Georgia. Just 15 minutes to Georgia's #1 visited resort town - the Alpine Village known as Helen. Tube the "Hooch" as they say or eat some great food in town. There's even a roller coaster in Helen. Helen is also home to a genuine Alpine Octoberfest from September to November.
If you want something a little more sophisticated consider a Georgia Winery tour along Georgia's Winery Highway.
Rent a boat, jet ski, or other watercraft on Lake Chatuge, just a 20-25 minute drive from the lodge.
The hiking and waterfalls in this part of Georgia are some of the nation's best and you don't want to miss the Ana Ruby Falls. There are numerous other waterfalls to find in this area as well. The Appalachian Trail runs over the very mountain you will be staying on.
Bring your ATV or 4x4 and explore many of the area's off-road adventures.
All roads leading to the cabin are paved with the exception of the last 2.8 miles. You will travel a gravel road maintained by the US Forestry Service.
