Description

Approved and registered for short-term rental use in White County and currently operating as a vacation rental, it's the kind of property that gives you both the "I want to stay here!" feeling and the "I could make money with this!" feeling. Completely renovated in 2022 and thoughtfully improved since, this charming cottage sits on a picturesque 1-acre lot between downtown Helen and Unicoi State Park. Inside, you'll find a warm and inviting living space filled with natural light, stylish finishes, and comfortable, tasteful furnishings, while a new propane fireplace adds that extra touch of warmth and ambiance. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, while the beautifully updated bathroom now includes a new tile floor. Both bedrooms offer cozy spaces to relax after a day of exploring the North Georgia mountains. But the charm doesn't stop at the front door! Step outside and enjoy your own private CREEKSIDE oasis. A mountain stream runs through the property and can be heard throughout the grounds, creating the perfect backdrop for morning coffee or an evening around the new stone fire pit. You'll fall in love with the ultimate mountain glamping amenity-a luxury Hypedome garden igloo, perfect for year-round starlit dining while the renovated gazebo and new outdoor canopy provide plenty of room to relax and entertain. Additional improvements include a new well pump, automatic sand filtration system, French drain system behind the house, updated electrical wiring, new gutter guard system, and a new high-efficiency 9.8 EPM instant hot water heater, new 2025 Stor-Mor storage shed with double doors and outdoor security cameras. Imagine mornings with the sound of the creek, afternoons exploring Helen, and evenings gathered around the fire under a blanket of stars. Whether you keep it as your own mountain retreat or continue its successful life as a vacation rental, this charming creekside cottage is ready for its next adventure-and it could be yours.
