All of the great reviews of this property are correct. It is well managed, very "homey" and the views are stunning! My wife and I were celebrating our 42nd wedding anniversary and loved the hot tub with a couple of glasses of wine each night. The surrounding countryside is gorgeous. I had a little problem with the wi-fi and the host quickly and graciously set me on the right path. We would love to stay there again.

Perfect view

We weren't able to be at the home much as we had many events scheduled. However, it is perfectly lovely and exactly as described. I wish I had had more time to spend on the porch overlooking the mountains...the view is breathtaking. Alan was an extremely responsive host if we needed anything so I would certainly recommend this home. (I would recommend a vehicle capable of mountain road travel for some of the hills.)

Great Getaway

First, this property / setting is amazing. Nestled on a hill overlooking a beautiful valley with great views, the description of the cabin was spot on. The cabin itself was spacious with a comfortable porch for lounging. The hot tub and griddle were nice additions for hanging out at the cabin. Our host was attentive and available for questions which we appreciated. Another nice thing about this property was being able to bring our Cane Corso - it was her first long road trip (from Sarasota) and she absolutely loved the mountain hiking trails and the cabin porch. I definitely will book this property again with the only (minor) concern being the long drive from FL.

We had an unforgettable weekend stay at this hidden gem cabin in Georgia with amazing views of the Yonah Mountains!

Weekend Getaway

Cabin was just as pictured and very clean. One thing to mention is the drive from the main road is a gravel road so I would recommend a 4 wheel drive. This property has a beautiful view as it is on the side of the mountain but yet close to everything. Alan was great to work with on our booking. I would stay here again.

Enter the Yonah!

Great location and property! Proximity to Helen/Cleveland gives you the best in options for sightseeing/dining. Spice 55 was a great surprise -- the authentic Bavarian setting of Helen was the real deal. Yonah Mountain access was superb and a great family experience! Hot tub, fire action and house set up were excellent -- the view was unforgettable (sunsets/sunrise, middle of day/night). A few great wildlife moments to round it out. Thanks to Alan for all the great comms and additional information on the area. Very helpful to make the time the best it could be.

Beautiful view!

The view was beautiful! An SUV is a must for getting up the long, steep, gravel drive. The home had everything we needed. The decorations are a fun mix of fall, western, and nature/animals. The furniture is large and walkways are narrow. If your friends or family need an ADA compliant space, this home would be difficult to navigate. The home is close to beautiful hikes!

Fantastic Week at Soaring Hawk

My family and I spent five days at the Soaring Hawk Cabin and loved it. The booking process was easy and the owner was super responsive to messages and questions. The cabin was very clean on arrival and beautiful on the inside and out. The inside was decorated with all sorts of nick-knacks in keeping with the atmosphere of the area. The view off the deck overlooks the surrounding mountains and was amazing! It was oriented east and provided a beautiful view of the sunrise. I wish I could attach pictures as words do not do justice to the mornings watching the sun come up. Finally, the cabin location was central to many activities locally including private access to the Yonah Mountain hiking trail. We will be coming back!!
