We stayed at Tim and Katie’s house for a friends retreat. We had five families - 24 people total ages 2-42! It was everything that we needed. Beds were comfortable and all of them being king size was great also. The view was spectacular and the sauna and hot tub were such a bonus. We utilized every space. Had a movie night for the kids. Our favorite was that we were able to stay up late and have adult time to catch up with our friends while the kids slept comfortably. The property felt very safe. We 100% would recommend this house. If you are looking for a quiet getaway with close family or friends this is your place.

Tim and Katie‘s Helen Mountain house was absolutely a treasure for our family gathering. It was a very large house that was fully stocked with so many fun activities for adults and kids of all ages. The house was well stocked with things that I never would imagine. Things that I happened to forget packing like salt/pepper. There was even a little bit of olive oil. It was helpful also to have the aluminum foil, saran wrap. Even this wonderful s’mores basket that welcomed us. This was a very large family gathering with kids of all ages and pets. It was a perfect house for our family to get together and spend great quality time together. We all really enjoyed the theater and watched movies, football games. Loved the sauna and hot tub. Unfortunately it rained the entire trip, but we would have really enjoyed the fire pit. The instructions that were left were easy to understand. We even hired a mobile masseuse to visit to perform a massages. Just a really awesome weekend in the mountains.

This was an amazing stay! 10/10 recommendation. We stayed with 10 adults, 2 toddlers, and two small dogs and it was very accommodating to our large family. The pictures were accurate. The place was clean. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. Location was perfectly placed just 5 minutes from downtown Helen. We definitely want to stay here again if we make it back to Helen in the future!

Wonderful home. We had a multiple family getaway and we had plenty of space to spread out and gather. Kids were able to self entertain and adults spend quality time we all wanted. Hoping to make this trip an annual regular.

Our family and friends had the most amazing weekend here. There is so many things to do at the house and in the town close by. Everything was very clean and cozy, everything you need & more, which made it a stress free vacation. We had yound kids/babies and they had an amazing time here as well! The hosts are very nice and helpful with any questions. The view is breathtaking. Highly recommend!

Sunny Alps Retreat was one of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed! My husband and I got married in Helen, Ga and Sunny Alps became our home away from home during the pre-wedding and post-wedding celebrations! Our family came from all over the states to visit and each and every one of them felt welcome and comfortable!!! The kitchen was immaculate and very well equipped. The bathrooms were very clean and spacious. The views from the jacuzzi were absolutely breathtaking! We will definitely be returning to Sunny Alps Retreat and we look forward to working with Tim and Katie on our next venture!

3 families celebrated my daughter’s birthday with a weekend trip here and were so pleased with the comfortable accommodations and thoughtful touches. Everyone, from the 2 year old to the 50 year olds, loved the property. We only wish we could have stayed longer!
