About this house rental
🏔️ Welcome to Himmelhaus Retreat — our cozy-luxury mountain haven tucked in the heart of the North Georgia mountains. Just eight minutes from downtown Helen, the Chattahoochee River, and Unicoi State Park, this retreat blends rustic charm with elevated comfort. Designed for families, couples, and friends, it’s the perfect escape for those craving warmth, connection, and unforgettable mountain moments.
🏡 Step inside and you’ll immediately feel the calm that inspired our name — Himmelhaus, meaning “Sky House” in German. Sunlight filters through vaulted ceilings and tall windows, filling the living room with a soft mountain glow. Cozy up by the flickering gas fireplace, stream your favorite movie on the 58” Smart TV, or simply unwind with a glass of wine while the firelight dances.
☕The luxury kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need — from an air fryer and quality cookware to a combo drip/Keurig coffee maker. Gather at the dining table for six or chat over breakfast at the bar for four. Every detail is designed for connection, from morning pancakes to late-night laughter.
🛏️The main floor features:
• 2 Queen Bedrooms
o Bedroom 1: Queen Bed + Twin Trundle (En Suite Bathroom) + Kids Corner.
o Bedroom 2: Queen Bed + Smart TV + Kids Closet + Bistro Table right outside for Morning Coffee
• 1 Full Bathroom in Hallway
🛏️Upstairs, the Primary Suite offers:
• 1 King Bed + 50” Smart TV
• Spa-Inspired En Suite Bathroom with Soaking Tub & Walk-In Shower
• Right outside of the Primary Suite you will find a hidden closet library. Here little ones can sit and enjoy a tiny book in their own tiny space.
In the living room, a Queen Sleeper Sofa provides flexible sleeping for larger groups, bringing total accommodations to 9 guests.
🌲 Outdoor Spaces
Step outside and you’ll discover the true magic of Himmelhaus.
Two expansive decks, wrapped in string lights, extend your living space into nature.
• Upper Deck:
o Luxury Gas Fire Table
o Lounge Seating
o Gas Grill for Family Cookouts
o Outdoor Movie Projector for Starry Film Nights
• Lower Deck:
o Private Hot Tub Surrounded by Woods
o Peaceful, Secluded Setting with Nature Views Whether you’re sipping coffee as the forest wakes up or relaxing in the hot tub under the stars, every moment outside feels beautifully serene.
🌄 Experience the Magic of Helen, Georgia
Himmelhaus Retreat is located just minutes from the best of Helen, Georgia — a charming Bavarian-style town known for its year-round festivities and mountain magic.
• Helen’s Oktoberfest: Each fall, the town transforms into a vibrant celebration of music, dancing, and German beer.
• Christmas in Helen: In winter, streets sparkle with thousands of lights, creating a storybook alpine village straight from a postcard.
• Annual Hot Air Balloon Festival: Each spring, the skies above Helen come alive when colorful balloons drift gracefully across the mountain backdrop. Watch the launches up close — a truly magical sight that inspired our home’s signature “Helen in the Clouds” mural.
• Summer Adventures: Float down the Chattahoochee River, sample local wines, orstroll through boutique shops and bakeries.
• Innsbruck Community: Enjoy community provided amenities like a swimming pool, fitness club, and pickleball/tennis courts.
• Valhalla Resort Spa & Golf Club: Hidden in the hills of the Innsbruck community lies a spa and 18 hole golf course. Play a round while your travel partner unwinds.
Outdoor lovers will find paradise nearby:
• Unicoi State Park (10 mins): Lake, hiking, ziplining & fishing
• Anna Ruby Falls (20 mins): Iconic twin waterfalls with scenic views
• Smith Creek Trail, Dukes Creek Falls & Tray Mountain: Some of the area’s most breathtaking hikes. Every season brings something new to discover — from fiery fall leaves to cool mountain breezes in summer.
🌟 Why Guests Love Himmelhaus Retreat
-Because it feels like home — only better.
-Because mornings start with coffee on the deck and birdsong through the trees.
-Because evenings end with laughter by the firelight, the scent of pine in the air, and the stars just a little closer than you remember.
At Himmelhaus Retreat, we’ve created more than a stay — it’s an experience that blends mountain adventure, modern luxury, and the comforting feeling of belonging.
We can’t wait to welcome you to your home in the clouds.

The house was so cute, and perfect for spring break for our family of five! Our little ones absolutely loved the small touches like the play s’mores set and magnatiles, and our tween daughter enjoyed reading on the deck and playing Wordle and Jenga with the family. The house is really beautifully decorated, and includes thoughtful touches like games, blankets, and books that made the house even more cozy, inviting and memorable. Everything worked as expected and Jeremy was a very responsive host.
