Cameron House Retreat: Lake, wine & mountain paradise! 5 miles to Helen!

SUMMER SPECIAL! 20% off JULY/AUGUST REGULAR PRICES. Book soon; calendar fills up quickly. We now have 2 more bathrooms added, and the other 2 have been BEAUTIFULLY renovated!
Our newest additions are a large deck off back of the house overlooking Mt. Yonah and the lake, and a 500 sq. foot game room!
Stay 7 nights, get the 8th night free!
Stay Mid-week (Sun-Thurs. only) and receive an additional 10% off our regular rates!
The newly renovated Cameron House Retreat is nestled in the foothills of Northeast GA wine country, and sits at the base of Mt. Yonah, and butts up to the Chatahoochee National Forest, a short walk from our property.
This sprawling 5 bedroom, 4 full bath home is like no other in the area.
Our home is located halfway between famous Alpine Helen and historical Cleveland, just 1.5 miles off Hwy. 75, and only 90 minutes NE of Atlanta.
This area is quickly becoming known as THE premier spot for excellent wines, with more than a dozen local, highly rated wineries for enthusiasts to tour and taste!
Convenient to restaurants, boutiques, sports activities, nature trails with beautiful waterfalls, scenic drives and quaint towns, Cameron House Retreat is the ideal vacation spot for adults and children alike.
Kids can spend hours tubing down a lazy river, go miniature golfing, go carting, panning for gold, or enjoy a day at the water park, all minutes away!
Enjoy roasting marshmallows by a campfire down by a private shared lake, take a rowboat out for a little fishing, a pedal boat out for a little paddling, relax in our shaded pavilion, or just sit on the dock and take in the breath-taking million dollar views.
With wrap around porches, a hot tub, a large extended back deck, and a warm and cozy environment, our home is a stand-out. With many nooks and crannies, it is small enough to curl up in a favorite corner with a book, yet large enough to secure the privacy of up to 14 adults, and 3 infants!
Each area has it's own unique theme and personality. The main floor has a fully equipped farmhouse style eat-in kitchen, a den with a gas fireplace, 2 bedrooms, a full bath, a dining room, laundry room, and a large living room with a wood burning fireplace for chilly nights.
One flight up leads you to the master bedroom with vaulted ceilings and private terrace, another guest bedroom, and full bath, and a private wing that sleeps 6.
NEW! A 500 sq. ft. detached game room for playing poker, ping-pong, Foosball, pool, and air hockey while watching sports on a 60" flat screen TV! Room for little kids, (big kids too), to color and play board games.
Be prepared to be enchanted by our relaxing and secluded mountain retreat. And please don't think of it as going away, just think of it as coming home...
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Check in was easy. Great location to the trails and Helen. The hot tub was awesome. I used it several nights to relax after enjoying the nearby hiking trails. The house was very welcoming and the game room was used every night. Our 2 year old niece used the outdoor played every day. It was a great stay. Would stay at this location again.

We loved this house. It was cozy and eclectic, and perfect for our group of nine—we all had plenty of space to spread out. We took walks through the woods, spent full days on the lake fishing and relaxing, and just enjoyed being there. The host had everything you could need, from plastic bags and trash bags to laundry detergent and dryer sheets. The kitchen was well stocked with spices, plus plenty of pots, pans, and utensils. If we had questions, the host responded quickly.We also hiked Mount Yonah, which is just a 5-minute drive to the trailhead, and the views at the top (you can even see the house) were amazing. We’ll definitely be back to this area of Georgia.

Perfect location!!!! So close to Helen to enjoy the Helen Christmas Festivities, and still secluded in the beautiful mountains. The house is everything I hoped it would be when bringing the family in from 3 different states. We had small busy children with us and the playground was a huge hit. This house is a 10 out of 10. We'll be back.

Staying at Cameron House Retreat for our annual birthday trip with our twin 13-year-old boys and our family friends was an absolutely wonderful experience in every way. The house was so well kept and furnished with every conceivable amenity that it seemed the owners lived there full time and had just left to allow us to stay. Because Helen has so many options for dining, we only cooked one night but had everything we needed. The children enjoyed the hot tub, fishing in the lake, and playing all the games in the game room. There was only one issue, and it is only worth mentioning because the owner had it addressed immediately and came the very next morning to ensure everything was handled. We can’t wait to go back!!!! We love Cameron House Retreat!!!

Great Getaway Resort

Very impress with the retreat home, the home was clean and spacious. It was well stocked and everything was organized in the kitchen and bathroom. The property manager and the owners were pleasant and kind. The only down side is that on the last day there were issues with the water well so water supply was slim to none. Overall it was a great place.
