Are you one of the increasing numbers of vacationers that wouldn't dream of leaving your pet back at home when you travel? If so, you're no doubt aware of the challenges involved with finding accommodations that are pleasing to both you and your dog.
Many people wait impatiently for the day they can lock their office, pack their belongings, and take off with their families on a long-awaited vacation. For many of these individuals, their pets are not just mere animals, but an extended part of their families they wouldn't leave behind. To fully experience the joys of living life, pets travel with the family.
Some folks decline vacation time because they can't take their four-legged friends with them. And, some travelers pay a pet sitter or kennel operator to care for their pets while away. Fortunately, some establishments are beginning to take notice. They are becoming pet-friendly (for an additional fee) to allow the whole family to enjoy what they have to offer.
Situated in the heart of north Georgia, our pet-friendly cabins can be your home away from home. You'll have a place to stay with amenities and convenience to local attractions. You won't need to worry about leaving your dog pent up in a cramped hotel room.
So bring your dog to our pet-friendly accommodation. You will both be glad you did!

Choosing Between a Dog-Friendly Hotel or Cabin Rental
Traveling with Fido often presents complications leaving pet owners in a quandary over what to do. Hire a pet sitter? Book a room in a pet-friendly hotel?
Hotel Room Advantages & Pitfalls
The standard option for most pet owners has been to book rooms in pet-friendly hotels when visiting Helen. Several hotels are ready to accommodate your furry guests. They provide several amenities such as valets, room service, housekeeping, and often pools or gyms. Some hotels even offer small kitchenettes. Many people enjoy staying in hotels as a treat to themselves or to enjoy a retreat from home.
However, hotel rooms have several downsides for dog owners. Dogs may find the rooms too small or confining, and dogs may have to remain on a leash. Owners must be prepared to take their dogs out of the room often enough to give the pet enough exercise and fresh air. Hotels sometimes require a hefty pet deposit to protect the establishment in case the pet damages the room in any way. Pet owners also must consider how much noise their pet makes and take care that their pet does not disturb other hotel patrons.
Advantages of Pet-Friendly Cabins in Helen, Georgia
Renting a cabin is a great way to travel with your pet. You'll have more room for both of you to spread out, and you'll be able to go for long walks in the woods with your furry best friend. What dog doesn't like that?
First, pets will have plenty of room to move around both inside and outside without a leash. This gives both the pet and the pet owner more freedom of choice in their vacation activities. Second, pets will enjoy the home environment a cabin offers. Because cabins have fully equipped kitchens, owners can easily store and prepare food or medication for pets. Pet owners also will not have to worry about their dogs disturbing neighbors. We recommend cabins that have all hardwood and tile surfaces. These surfaces are simple to bring back to new conditions if your pet is shedding.
Pet-friendly cabins in Helen also provide you with more options regarding the itinerary. Mealtime can be simple, as you prepare something at the cabin. But, fair weather permitting; you may still opt to eat in downtown Helen, Georgia. Several pet-friendly restaurants are available, allowing dogs either on their decks or in designated areas.
If you do eat at the cabin, you'll eventually have to explore the great outdoors and run off some of that pent-up energy. Nothing says you have to load up the car and make a day trip of it. There are plenty of trails and back roads to investigate.
Pet sitters and hotels are sufficient options, but a better option is to choose from among several ready-to-welcome four-legged friends for a vacation getaway.
What to Look for in Pet-Friendly Cabins?
No one should be treated with disdain when traveling with your pet. Good lodging companies recognize this and offer units for your entire family (including the dog), without charging an exorbitant cleaning fee or deposit. Look for a unit that has room for your dog to enjoy the outdoors with you, on long walks or a solitary moment by a stream. Cabins with all hardwood floors and tile surfaces are the ideal pet environment.
So bring the pet, find a great cabin to suit your needs, and experience every joy to the fullest that the north Georgia mountains have to offer. You'll enjoy it more with your best four-footed friends by your side. Because really, what is happiness without our best friends to share it with?
Top 5 Reasons Why Dogs Love Visiting Helen, Georgia & North Georgia Cabins
Do you experience separation anxiety when you're on vacation, and your dog is left boarded back at home?
Anyone with a dog wants their companions to feel special and part of the family. Because of this, traveling without the pooch in tow can be traumatic - both for you and your dog. Dogs are pack animals, and they long to be close to their masters for comfort, happiness, and protection. Leaving your dog behind while you enjoy a family getaway can almost feel like you're leaving one of your own children.
Fortunately, you won't be forced to board your furry friends when you choose to stay in one of our luxurious cabin rentals located in Helen, Georgia, and the surrounding area. We offer pet-friendly cabins that will ensure that everyone in your clan can stick together and get the most out of your vacation. But will your dog actually enjoy his or her time in northern Georgia? What are pet-friendly activities for your family to do with your pup? You'd be amazed at how dog-friendly Helen really is. Below, we explore five reasons why pets love visiting Helen cabins so much, and how to have an incredible time together on your trip.
5. There's lots to explore around the cabin
Dogs are inquisitive animals, and they love to explore new terrain. Your pooch will have a field day with all of the new smells that he will take in around your cabin. If you choose to stay in a wooded cabin rental, you can enjoy a daily walk with Fido through the trees, letting him sniff out all of the different plants and animal scents, try to chase chipmunks and squirrels, and prance through the leaves. Those who book a visit to a creekside cabin will have a lot of fun watching their dog splash in the cooling waters on a warm summer afternoon. Just always supervise your dog and keep him on a leash at all times, to ensure that he is completely safe in his surroundings.
4. They can cheer you on while you play mini golf
At the Alpine Mini-Golf Course (which is located on the south end of town), pets are welcomed onto the putting green. The course creates a fun way for you to challenge your family and friends to a competitive game, while your pup gets to trot happily along your side. There's a picnic area inside of the course, as well, where you can sit down and enjoy the weather as you talk and munch on your favorite foods (and slip Rover a few scraps while you're at it). You may even decide to linger longer by stopping at the course's own Scoop De Scoop Ice Cream Parlor.
3. They get to hit the trails
The Helen area is home to a wide range of hiking trails that will excite both you and your dog. The scenery at nearby Unicoi State Park is absolutely stunning. Your pup's tail will furiously wag while you traverse the rim of the sparkling Unicoi Lake, follow a babbling stream, or admire the thundering waters of the twin Anna Ruby Falls. And, your pet will get a good dose of exercise, take in new scents, and can explore the trails in her own way. You might also consider a stroll with your pet through the trails at Smithgall Woods State Park, or Amicalola Falls State Park. We recommend you check park policies on leashes and clean up before bringing your pet.
2. They can sniff out prizes while geocaching
All of Georgia's state parks are welcoming of geocaching. In this fun activity, participants hide a small token or prize inside a capsule and then log the coordinates of the capsule on a geocaching website. When the capsule is located, the finder can take the prize and must replace it with another of their own. Not only is this fun for humans but certain geocaches are designed specifically for dogs, containing doggie treats and other fun extras.
1. They get to be with you
Of course, for your dog, there are few things more rewarding about visiting the luxurious cabins in Helen, Georgia than merely staying with their 'pack' and remaining part of the family for the duration of the vacation experience. Your pup doesn't want to be left alone in a boarding kennel.
He loves you and wants to be by your side at all times.
