This was well worth the money. We could tell by the decor and cleanliness that management really cares about this place. The hot tub was great. The view was great. The architecture was very cozy and cabin-y while being spacious and airy. The kitchen was fully stocked with appliances and dishes. The best part was that it was private: its at the end of a gravel driveway so there's no one driving by and all the neighbors are shielded by trees, even in winter when there's no leaves. I bet it will be even more magical and private when the trees have leaves. It's in walking distance to Helen. Overall, fantastic. We could not figure out how to turn on the gas fireplace but its probably disabled. Nevertheless, it stayed warm enough in the cabin (we visited in January).

The cabin looked small when we arrived but when we walked inside it was amazing. 2 complete levels with comfortable beds and living quarters and an additional 3rd level with twin beds. The back porch has a spectacular view of mountain tops . We enjoyed our stay.

Oh my gosh this rental is amazing! I honestly can’t say enough great things. It was so comfortable, porch was fabulous with amazing views, hot tub was great, a fenced in yard for our yorkie, gas grill for dinners together, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, super clean and great communication with rental company. If you’re wondering whether to book here or somewhere else choose here. Fast drive into Helen…you can walk it but must be in shape. Road going up is pretty narrow but other than that this place is perfection!

Magical

Moondance was exactly what is listed. It is a great space that fit our family of 5, but was still able to give everyone their own privacy.Close to Downtown restaurants and shops, we were able to walk to 90% of our activities.We will definitely be back!

Beautiful property and cabin. While it is located .3 miles from downtown, you wouldn't want to walk it, especially at night. Secluded drive straight up. However there is parking at the bottom of White St
